I love this comment a lot. I am not fluent in Latin, but have also experienced amazingly fast progress using CI methods (relying on the resources you mention below).

Currently I'm brushing up on Spanish in the same way and absorbing (for instance) the subjunctive painlessly.

I think most people still underestimate how easily an adult can learn a language.

"Paul Nation in a 2014 article estimates that to acquire a vocabulary of about 5000 words a student needs read about 2 million words."

If you absorb about 3000 words a day, after less than a year you'll have read 1 million words. With a vocabulary of 2500 words you can do quite a lot. For me, in Latin, that's about 40 minutes of reading (I read faster in Spanish, slower in Ukrainian).

Read/listen/watch 3000 words a day, understanding the majority of the words so you understand the whole passage, and after a year or so you'll be mostly fluent.

These figures line up with your 200-300 hours to read the Vulgate, as well.
> For any other use case, I would much, much rather have the extra screen space that a keyboard would require to be removed.

I think Blackberry eventually hit the right formula with the Priv: Big full-body screen (including touch keyboard) most of the time, pkb to slide out when you really want to write something down. I'd say the same for the Keyone too, actually— Most phones are too tall to hold in one hand and read/use comfortably anyway, and having that slim keyboard along the bottom is really nice.

It's just a shame they did it about five years too late, and then didn't do very much else right about the phones. Slider Pkb+Stock-ish Android would have been great to see more of.
It is rather weird that we are missing these kind workphones which would have good keyboard and good camera for zoom calls.

I convinced my parents to get me the original iPod with a physical click wheel and loved it. I and a friend in high school waited for the iPhone with a keyboard that also let us put on our own programs because a phone lacking those things made no sense.

I am a professional Android app developer at this point after holding out. Still would like a keyboard but I expect tactile touch screens to have to come out at this point.

I get flow on on my underpowered, by today's standards, cheaper than an iphone, left-field linux box on a daily basis.

Having switched Android and iPhone ecosystems every 2 years since the introduction of the G1, I've yet to see a single smart phone that could produce a flow experience for me, for exactly the same reasons everybody from Bret Victor to Alan Kay disparage regularly: tapping on glass is not the path to enlightenment, unlike the flow I get on hyprland.

Long story short, the sad backstory to the point that rubenerd makes about the crackberry is this:

Danger had this nailed with the HipTop not much past Y2K. That continued with the Sidekick II. I don't know the whole story, but somewhere in those years between 2003-2007, when I had stood in the Micro Center parking lot in Palo Alto gazing at Danger's headquarters with my Sidekick in hand thinking, "what the hell happened?", Andry Rubin exited stage left from Danger and began working on what would become Android.

The rest of it is the sad, sordid history we have now. One thing's certain though, I know many people, who'd go out and buy a sidekick tomorrow if macrohard, et al would just release the damn thing from its decades old, horribly common in the US, great-thing-killed-by-corporate-acquisition prison.

The HipTop and/or Sidkick deserved a better future than being killed in a series of acquisitions that pain everyone I know who experienced the device. It was ahead of its time, transformative, and had none of the issues that I've moaned about on everything up to and including my iPhone 12 mini and Pixel 6a.

Correct, the Phoenicians gave it to the Greeks who used vowel letters for the first time... though the Romans mostly inherited theirs from the Etruscans (who got it from the Phoenicians too). That led to some oddities when the Romans conquered the Greeks and started merging the diverged alphabets.

Nevertheless... some letters like aleph/alpha/A survive with and nearly identical orthography. The Phoenicians wrote it sideways compared to Latin - IIRC it was the horns of a bull and represented the first sound of the Phoenician word for cattle.

I find it quite interesting that a writing system having that higher level of abstraction was invented so early. Most early systems were pictograph/ideograph or syllabic AFAIK. Taking the leap to breaking words into syllables then syllables into sounds reduces the orthography to a compact set of symbols with relatively simple rules that is still capable of expressing an entire language.
Yes, I love what you have done. Sadly the time is wrong for me in the UK. Can't see how you would fix that.
You forgot to mention the horribly overblown regional accents to appease the US viewers (I.e. legible, but quirky), and you forgot to mention needless love triangle that only gets mention at the first and last episode of each season.

Plus the unrealistic portrayal of the lower class ("I'm poor, but let me shell out £100 for a haircut. Yes my car is falling apart, but this is a charming quirkiness of my character, not a severely debilitating financial problem I might need help on")

> DHCP only affects computers that a local administrator configures to use DHCP. The fact that it's on by default is why turning it off is a defect -- when you want to change the DNS on all the computers on your LAN, you change the one the DHCP server gives out. If applications start ignoring this then there is no other existing way to do it.

With Group Policy, the computer's administrator chooses a specific domain to trust to receive policies from. With DHCP, whatever random network the computer connects to can send whatever settings it wants. This is why it's okay for Group Policy to control security-sensitive settings but not for DHCP to. Imagine if the coffee shop's DHCP server sent an option that meant "the client should open these ports in its firewall". Would you want your computer to respect that?

> Because it's for the user to enable, and choose which DNS to use instead, not Mozilla.

Why is DHCP-provided DNS okay being the default, but Mozilla-provided DNS not? The user didn't choose the former either.

> What you need is for consumer routers to do this rather than Mozilla. Have them give out their own address as the DNS via DHCP and then support DoH themselves.

The problem with the router doing it is that clients can't trust the router isn't owned by someone trying to spy on them.

> The reason endpoint devices don't do this by default, and shouldn't, is where do they get the address of the DoH server to use, if not DHCP?

From a hardcoded default, e.g., Cloudflare, Google, Mullvad, or Quad9. Consider how most computers have a hardcoded default list of NTP servers to use rather than relying on getting that from DHCP.
Just because Lets Game It Out figured out how to abuse the game engine isn't a good reason not to build more expansive features for the rest of us.

I only had a Blackberry for a short while -- a BlackBerry Bold 9000 (got it in 2009). It was my stop-gap between plain cell phones and my first Android phone (a Droid 2, got it in 2010). Then I moved to touch screens with the Samsung Galaxy S4. I'm currently a Pixel 7 user.

Nothing ever matched the typing speed of the Blackberry Bold 9000. I was slowed down a bit by the slide-out on my Droid 2, and slowed down a TON by switching to touch.

But I could actually "do email" on my Blackberry. At essentially the same speed as my laptop. Even today, with many years of practice -- including swipe, text prediction, and all the rest -- writing a mid-size email on my phone is excruciatingly slow vs my physical typing and thinking speed. Even more frustrating is that when people observe me typing on my touchscreen, they'll say, "my goodness, you type SO FAST." And I'll just think, this is half-speed for me.

As a simple example, sometimes I try to transcribe text from a podcast I'm listening to on my phone. It's basically impossible -- I have to go back frequently, slow it down to 0.7x audio speed, etc. But, if I transcribe text on my laptop, I can do it so fast that I type ahead of the speaker, even a fast talker. It makes a difference. I could have transcribed a live speaker on my Blackberry Bold. I could even type short notes at thinking speed, which was awesome.

It's true that modern iPhones and their Android competitors (e.g. the Google Pixel line) do way more than my Blackberry Bold 9000 did. But I still lament the fact that these portable devices shifted from mobile high-speed read-write machines to mobile high-speed read with quite-slow write. For many people, these devices are essentially read-only.

And with so many people living so much of their digital lives on touchscreen smartphones, it also means the entire digital world is biased for consumption rather than a nice create-consume balance. Alas. Two steps forward, one step back.
If creator of service claims you can pay anonymously with crypto and doesn’t offer XMR, they are not being earnest and intellectually honest, because we know they know XMR is the only legit actually anon crypto. Why would anyone use this service when they can use Mullvad or IVPN and pay via XMR directly?
I don’t think you get how difficult that is. It wouldn’t build, it would include a ton of internal libraries. For example stubby is not open source. Internal spanner is different than external spanner, including API/SDKs. The code pulls in a ton of internal libraries. Etc.

So open sourcing just jamboard specific code and nothing else even if possible wouldn’t build or be really useful.

WW2 and the period just after wherein the British Empire experienced rapid disassembly—the context for the collapse also of the Pound Sterling as the primary global currency—were not a period that was “absolutely peaceful” in the USA and the British Empire, or the world in general.

Again, yes, it was peaceful BETWEEN the US ans UK, but your thesis that the primary global currency can collapse peacefully without a catastrophic global crisis is... well, picking the transition of the Pound to make that point is not a choice I would have gone with.

While I commend his efforts, it’s not even remotely MMO. A few thousand can be handled by one server. One beefy server, but one server nonetheless.

I’m talking about 10,000+ players. Where you need clusters of servers and synchronization techniques.

There have been some small multiplayer games that have tried to pass as mmo’s but without the player base in the 10k+ range, you never encounter certain classes of engineering problems.
>If Apple hadn't been an AT&T exclusive in the US and had adapted to the way people bought phones independent of carriers in most of the world, Android wouldn't have had a chance.

I disagree. Even had iPhone been available from all major US carriers on day one, and quickly launched outside the US in à la carte form, none of that would have made it affordable to most of the world. Cost is the major differential between Apple and Android (bar one or two flagship brands), not whether the carriers in a given country tend to be postpaid or prepaid or offer phones on an installment plan.

Would Apple love to have the same market share that it enjoys in the US/UK/Switzerland in the rest of the world? Yes. Would it do so by introducing $99 iPhones? No. Apple just does not play in the lowest-cost price segments, period. It didn't in 1977 with Apple II, in 1984 with Mac 128K, in 2001 with iPod, etc. Lower-priced computers, yes (such as Mac Classic in 1991). But Apple has never, ever served the lowest-priced segments that Dell, HP, Acer, and Lenovo did and do serve as part of their comprehensive product strategies. Two more examples from my time on Wall Street:

* I heard Apple's CFO say that his company could release a $799 computer "but we don't want to". Yes, yes, you can today get the previous-gen MacBook Air at the lowest base configuration for that price, and adjusting for inflation the price is significantly lower than $799 15 years ago, but the $799 computer's equivalent today is a $400 HP laptop.

* Dell, HP, etc. serve all price points because they feel like they have to, but that doesn't mean they like it. Around the same time as the above, at an investor dinner with the Dell CFO, an attendee asked how sales were of a $299 computer on Dell's print catalog cover. The CFO replied, "the problem with advertising a $299 computer is that people want to buy it".

The funny thing is that iPhone really is not that much more expensive than Android (excepting the aforementioned $99 street price models) if you pay attention, but the environment has to allow it. Even if the two-year contract has mostly gone away in the US, postpaid is what allows huge discounts for the savvy. I paid $200 plus tax for my iPhone 13, which I bought through Sprint when it was the current model, merely by trading in an iPhone 8 that I had bought used from Sprint a year earlier for $100. That $200 is paid in $6.67 installments over 30 months (I don't mind, since I have basically the world's greatest phone plan through Sprint/T-Mobile). Such a program just isn't available without a postpaid carrier model to subsidize it, and postpaid in turn seems to be only economically viable in wealthier countries.

Violence was much more socially acceptable as a response to slights and insults.

Also living conditions were poor and urban populations were highly concentrated and lived in close quarters.

Interesting exercise. It explores the upper bounds of what can be done this way and proves that forms and links don’t need to be an SPA monstrosity.

But comparing this to the linked Astro version [0], Astro wins hands down. It feels faster, URL works, and behaves more predictably.

Turns out a music player is best built using SPA-y tech. And it is possible not to build a monstrosity along the way. These so-called island architectures are right on the money. It is server first, but breaking out of it and building some client side interaction is seamless when required.

Positioning (fn42h)

When pointer is moved [advanced?], take value of highest bit of CX register as special flag value. After jump? [hard to understand, the literal work is positioning], when pointer will point the code "LATRO", add or subtract from the pointer the value offset veryend [not exactly clear]. If pointer points after end of the file and MS DOS [interrupt?] is triggered decrease from DX:AX offest veryend (Elementary!)

Reading (fn 3Fh)

In case if current position < 1Ch, then, later remembering to restore current position, read necessary amount of bytes from the end of the file (eof - |offset veryend - offset save_area|) [it is not clear, but it really looks like there is modulo]. During capture of LATRO area, trim the read (SRF).
