I'll give a couple of these a shot, but I also really have to recommend the spaced repetition Anki provides for drills. There are a lot of community created decks [0] for different aspects of Japanese. And for some reason, creating your own deck for topics or vocabulary really seems to help with memorization.

I can say that after just over three weeks I'm sounding out words. I think hours practiced are a better measure than weeks, but I don't know how many hours I've spent. (Even then sleep seems vital to processing the material, so you can't probably can't just count straight hours you've spent cramming.)

My study has involved using this deck [1]; writing out the hiragana and katakana charts several times; and using Tofugu [2][3] or YouTube for mnemonics, extra explanation, or stroke order.

RSC feels like the end of React. Getting back to the exactly state of things when React was a good solution solution. I didn't stop coding in Ruby on Rails to do it all again with React with no benefit. So the solution is to get back to Ruby on Rails or stop using React, I chose the latter. Web Components are quite good right now, with UI libraries like ui5, material ui, fluent ui integrating quite well with Tailwind with way less building steps than using React, nextjs, remix.

Tariffs are an option as demographics tilt to the Left politically to encourage domestic workforce investment [1]. Capital and economic systems should serve humans, not make it straightforward exploitation for a few folks with big numbers in rows in a database [2].

China is rapidly decelerating economically because it got old so fast [3], and most of the world outside of India and Africa isn't far behind [4] [5]. TLDR Capitalism is running out of young productivity to squeeze for profits.

I'm not sure relying on that will be a very effective strategy for companies in service industries. They need their labor to mostly be near where their customers are. It was effective with heavy manufacturing like automobiles, because you could move (or threaten to move) factories to right-to-work states, and supply the whole U.S from a small number of factories. But that model doesn't really apply to Starbucks.
I guess I just don't see sentences like this, even from novice writers.
Very good question. Being up to my eyeballs on 400G, dpdk, gpudirect, spdk right now I see a way forward, but also I don't see how we 'progress' more without them, where's the 'other' path? Integrated chips and like Apple's m1/2 or NVIDIA's GH and AMD's MI300X?
I like how one of the rules is basically about "its" and "it's". I think English made a big mistake by making this irregular; both forms should have been "it's". I hope it's issues are fixed in English v2. (You just read the first sentence in English v2!)

I have a milder version of this body chemistry. Old Apple laptops seemed more vulnerable - my 2014 MBP shows only very mild pitting, but my 2009(?) had significantly worse pitting in half the time. I still haven’t upgraded off my 2014, so I can’t speak to anything newer than that.

I don't have a CS degree either, and I'm not sure why you think labor unions would impose them? Degree requirements come from the company, not from the employees.

Many font sellers give a small subset as a sample in the same format as the full download so that users can test.

But I would still contact the designer/seller even if only to just let them know.
It's quite ironic that you say that "economic systems should serve humans" but then support "tariffs" which will significantly increase the cost of living for the aforementioned humans.
> Today, most fonts in practical use are open source fonts. When someone chooses a font for a web project,

I think you've got your HN blinders on. There are two types of projects: Projects where the font doesn't matter, and projects where the font is proprietary. Proprietary fonts utterly dominate the market whenever there's a paid graphic designer involved.
I don't see why a market can't do it. Carbon dioxide is invisible, mostly useless gas, and it's currently emitted by most cars, planes, trains, and factories. The accounting needs to happen somewhere, markets seem good at that.

Above I said "we absolutely need a carbon market", and I'm open to dropping that. It's possible markets are not the most effective option but I'm kind of short on how else to solve it. To someone who says that markets "fundamentally can't", I would ask them what solution they prefer instead, I'm open!

To maintain a stable climate we need to decarbonize rapidly. A carbon market is a potential solution for rapid decarbonization that so far is not working great.

It seems almost impossible to get and keep a wall at 1000 C for several hours using primitive technology.

The only way I can imagine is building a clay/mud oven around the entire wall and then having people pump massive bellows for an entire day.
Reminds me of an apocryphal story of the engineer tasked with speeding up elevators in a tall hotel. After evaluating all the options, they ended up adding mirrors next to the elevators. The guest complaints about the slowness of the elevators decreased as people pushed the button to request the elevator, noticed their reflection, checked their hair, and before they knew it the elevator had arrived.

(I do not know where this story originated, but ever since hearing about this from one of my design professors I've noticed how many buildings put mirrors next to their elevators.)

Robert Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters (https://craftinginterpreters.com/) is an awesome resource :D

Though I didn't implement his language exactly, a lot of what he talks about carries over anywhere. It especially helped me figure out how to handle the memory management and scoping.

Vincent Jacques' DrawGrammar (https://jacquev6.github.io/DrawGrammar/) was also super helpful. Getting to see the syntax definition visually made writing it so much easier :).

The author is putting words in performers and presenters' mouths, so I read this as the absolute opposite. (Also, check out the rest of the site; this is a religious right-wing culture-war organ, so I am confident in my read here.)

> Simply put, "We don’t play music just because it’s innovative or political."

No, "the only reason I can see for them to be playing this is because it's innovative or political". Maybe so, or maybe — I'd contend, more likely — they just like it and this author happens to be deaf to the aspects of it they like.
There’s always one of these edgelords lurking about. You must be fun at parties.
You keep saying how typing prevents some "elegant" things (are they really prevalent?) or "iterating fast greatly trumps the need for type safety". But in my experience, anything more than half a dozen modules/classes can turn into a bloody minefield very fast. And the supposed speed of iteration is negated and reversed by having to dig through the untyped codebase trying to very inefficiently determine the types manually, with my own eyes, as to not screw up. What are those supposed super-benefits of ditching type safety?

It's not really a matter of mysticism. It's metaphysics. The question "why does Mathematics work so well to describe our world?" is entirely valid and interesting.
There definitely seems to be a few areas since the Fleet announcement that have given me pause on JetBrains.

Their Python support has t kept up with other tools as noted. I’ve see a similar decline in the ability for for them to keep up to date with things like Svelte, Vue, Astro etc too.

> American influence (and to a lesser degree British) led to the adoption of the Anglo-American foot as the unit of altitude in aviation

There are a few notes I have regarding this. The Airbus consortium initially set up the Airbus A300 cockpit entirely in SI units, but they realised this wouldn't sell well in the US, and they switched to feet and flight levels.

Airfield weather data, including pressure and temperature readings in everywhere but the US are given in hectopascals and degrees Celsius.

Many post-Warsaw Pact countries (Russia, China, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Ukraine until recently) used to have a completely metric unit setup for their air traffic controls. Both Boeing and Airbus cockpits have settings to output altimeter readings in metres.

> Then the Continent did away with most of that complexity by adopting metric, and for whatever reason the English dragged their feet on doing that, and their American offshoots even more so.

If there's one export of the US I despise more than anything else, it is making legacy non-SI units relevant again because of its outsize influence in traditional and social media.

I live in a country that metricated half a century ago, but I have Gen Z friends who measure their heights in feet and inches, and their gym weights in pounds. What the absolute hell.

The SI units are the pinnacle of standardisation and the culmination of a three-hundred-year long effort to make life easier for everyone. I have no idea why the richest country in the world can't metricate properly.

Get rid of legacy units, and we save billions in not printing the (XX fl. oz), (XX lbs), or (XX oz) on food packaging alone.

It is ironic that a country that did away with colonialism, a whole lot of tea, and embraced the French and their revolution, never embraced the French units, but stuck with the English units.
> But I believe the most important idea is that Python is developed on the Internet, entirely in the open, by a community of volunteers (but not amateurs!) who feel passion and ownership.
But they do exist independently. If models weren't independent of the described phenomena then there couldn't be incorrect models.
I'm of a smaller Baptist ilk. There is a reason that the Carpenter kept the effort small, and that may be lost on these mega-outfits, I surmise.
I'm not "romanticizing" anything. I think you are just repeating talking points that have never really been challenged and made to stand up to scrutiny.

> They have a massively ageing population, which is the true problem.

The true problem is exponential growth resulting in exponential destruction of the environment, no matter how much you fiddle with the factors. People act like if we (by some unlikely miracle) get a handle on CO2 emissions that it will all be smooth sailing from then on. The sad reality is that pollution, destruction of species and habitat, and depletion of non-renewable resources, until now has been driven almost entirely by factors other than climate change.

> In 2060, over 40% of the population will be pensioners requiring payouts, according to the japanese health ministry.

That sounds good, good thing they have been transitioning to a sustainable society and economy rather than stacking the pyramid ever higher to delay the inevitable. You know global population is expected to level by that time then fall, right?

> And yes, they have low birth rates and no population growth (whether via immigration or otherwise). This is actually going to bite them at some point.

This is what the pyramid schemers (the "experts", the banks, the billionaires, the neolibs) have been crying wolf about for decades. Sure it isn't simple, but they are managing it. And it will bite everybody pretty soon. What would be nice is if, when it bites, we haven't driven societies and the environment to the absolute limit into a brick wall before that, but instead let populations in highly consuming countries naturally peak and decline, and manage that gracefully.
Once you've found product-market fit, what prevents a competitor with better tooling from copying you and out-competing?
I work in the industry [0].

The decarbonization game is extremely tricky. This whole notion of "were they going to do it anyway", how the heck do you build that in. And how the heck does demand happen, who wants to pay for invisible, mostly useless gas?

The key question at the root of this is this: do we need to win the decarbonization game? Or can we just set down the game and walk away?

To me it looks like we need to win the decarbonization game to maintain a stable climate. So then all these attempts, failures, and mind bending problems all become challenges to overcome. Not "if", but "how".

The prize is a stable climate, a thriving civilization, and the specific players that beat the game probably get trillions of dollars of prize money.

Give it directly back to the people. Do not allow them to spend it on anything, not even to fund the (hopefully small) beaurocracy necessary to implement the tax.
On the last point, i am not even sure there is correlation let alone causation. Successful people i know hardly work a lot (or they do but in short extreme stunts, like 3 weeks of 80-100 hours a week and then almost idle at 0-10 hours a week for the next 6 months). They mostly just tuned themselves into ability to get "into right place at the right time" at a rate way more frequent than regular folks, by having and consciously developing right personality traits.
On one hand it would be amazing to revive an extinct species, but the reasons given seem like crap.

Median income is not an objective measure to compare wealth. Again as I said below, it does not take into account non-income based compensation like food stamps, housing assistance or child tax credits. For example, Medicaid compensation for example is 3x of than the equivalent in Germany.

This comment and its parent are really great. I see both of these viewpoints all the time, also in the analogous stuff you mentioned ("monolith vs microservices" also). It really seems like the specific approach doesn't matter as much as the skill and motivation of the team.
Indeed, in some cases you want the unrolls. The 6502 is good in the twisties, but if you're trying to do any kind of copy or fill then the percentage of meaningful cycles is disappointingly low, and the unroll may be necessary. Also, if you're trying to keep in sync with some other piece of hardware, then just doing it step at a time can be much easier.

I have done a lot of all of this sort of code and I am quite familiar with the 6502 tradeoffs. But for printing 15 chars by calling a ROM routine, I stand by my comments.

The platforms get to charge insane amounts of money and control the audience. Creators have no chance of building a legitimate brand, their only hope is to play the algorithm game and pump out content that the platform controls.

IMO, legalizing it would let creators own their brand, get rid of exploitative race-to-the-bottom content, and give buyers/sellers confidence/acceptance to pursue their needs in a regulated and safe way.
Of course it would be irrelevant for a function that only took positional arguments.

I was demonstrating the existence of such things in general since OP seemed unaware. For the proposal, you'd of course only use it for functions that took more kinds of arguments.

Yes from what I've seen the ministries are split into families, teenagers, seniors, Spanish-speaking, missions, sports etc. Seems like that would have serious pros and cons.

Another underreported part of the value proposition is that single/divorced/widowed people can find partners/spouses via that church and its social events (and it gives some basic implicit level of background verification, more than dating apps).

This is likely gradually becoming more important in part as civic engagement and volunteering are reportedly decreasing in recent decades, esp. in the US. [I looked for studies but didn't find much.]

At the extreme cusp of megachurch/influencer, Hillsong Church NYC's (ex-)pastor Carl Lentz [0] befriended[/recruited/targeted/whatever verb] Justin Bieber (baptized him in an NBA player's bathtub) [1] and other celebrities [2]. The term "hypepriest" was coined [3]. "Marketing lessons from a Southern megachurch" [4] is an interesting read; the degree to which church preachers and Instagram influencers have things in common depends presumably on the type of church, which demographic it might be targeting and how narrowly, its KPI, the preachers' compensation incentives, social-media presence etc. Haven't seen much study of this, presumably because much of the data is not public. But as the concept of social capital is being redefined in the internet age, clearly there are long-term implications.

Neither of these pages has rounded corners for me on 116.0.1938.62 on macOS. What platform are you on?

(To be pedantic: The bottom left corner is rounded when not full-screen because it's a window corner, but that's normal and happens with all browsers.)
