A piece of advice: stick with it. The usefulness of Anki lies in its ability to efficiently schedule flashcards, so it will be of little use if you review cards only occasionally. Review most/all of your due cards everyday. If you find that your workload is too much stop creating new cards or perhaps increase the base multiplier for flashcard intervals (not recommended unless you're really exhausted).
But you need an iPhone to set one up. It's a weird vestigial requirement at this point, and I suspect it's more about cell carrier limitations than Apple's preferences.
Yesterday I was trying to track weird bug. I moved a website to Kubernetes and its performance was absolutely terrible. It was loading for 3 seconds on old infra and now it spends consistently 12 seconds loading.

Google Chrome shows that 6 requests require 2-3 seconds to complete simultaneously. 3 of those requests are tiny static files served by nginx, 3 of those requests are very simple DB queries. Each request completes in few milliseconds using curl, but few seconds in Google Chrome.

Long story short: I wasn't able to track down true source of this obviously wrong behaviour. But I switched ingress-nginx to disable HTTP 2 and with HTTP 1.1 it worked as expected, instantly serving all requests.

I don't know if it's Google Chrome bug or if it's nginx bug. But I learned my lesson: HTTP 1.1 is good enough and higher versions are not stable yet. HTTP 3 is not even supported in ingress-nginx.
My "favorite" toggle button is the one where they add on/off labels[1] to it, but only one, and the slider hides the label. So the label actually tells you the state, not the state it would be when you move the slider over the label. Or at least that's how I think how they work, it breaks my brain a little whenever I look at them.

Do you have any evidence to show the blame lies somewhere in the middle?

As far as I can tell, a retail pharmacy’s role is to dispense medication per a prescription, while avoiding errors caused by mixing medicines and advising people how to take medicine.

A retail pharmacy’s role is not to be the de facto front line workers for the DEA. So when our government collects fines from businesses for not policing their customers, expect the business to start discriminating against the customers, due to the lack of liability shield the government has.

An even simpler way to put it is, why would a business that earns money selling things want to sell less of those things (legitimate prescriptions)? The answer has to be the risk of selling is too high.
Is this a biblical reference?
There's an Obsidian plugin for Anki -- https://github.com/reuseman/flashcards-obsidian

It connects with your Anki desktop app. You create notes in Obsidian in a specific format, and they get converted to Anki flashcards. This way your flashcard creation process becomes much easier if you already use Obsidian for note-taking.
Yes, but be careful of repetitive stress injuries that can occur. Mix it up and don’t go too intensely. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Spaced repetition, especially when using tools like Anki, is effective for memorizing facts. However, memorization represents the most basic level of learning objectives, see e.g. [1] and [2]. Are there any recommended tools for practicing more advanced levels of knowledge, such as relational analysis, synthesis, and critical evaluation?

> It's really more fashion accessory than practical device.

It’s one of the most practical devices I own but I hadnt considered it a fashion accessory. Nobody who sees my watch thinks that, in fact most think the opposite but I’m ok with it cause I didn't get it to serve that purpose.

Maybe it’s because I own the poor version with a plain black sports band. Maybe if I owned a prettier one I’d get more compliments. However I have real watches when I need something like that which I think look much nicer if I’m going to dress up etc.

edit

To be fair I’m the furthest thing from fashionable and always have been so…I’m probably not the best judge of these things I suppose.
The thing is, NOTHING in your post disputes that NAT provides very real, simple, and robust security for local networks. With NAT you simply can NOT make unsolicited connections to internal hosts.

It's not an illusion, it's actual security. Is it completely foolproof? No. But it definitely makes it easier to use, e.g. esp8266-based devices without worrying that they'd be knocked offline by an automated script that sends a couple megabits of traffic their way.

And to do the same on IPv6 you need 80% of NAT, in particular you need stateful connection tracking.
I think a related, but often overlooked question is: is there really a need for remembering things off the top of one's head?

Since there was no need to look it up, perhaps it's not relevant to whatever one is doing at the moment.
Hacker News is pretty already. The only tweak I apply is to enlarge fonts to 120% on desktop, and dark mode.

Between Tartarstan and Buryatia and Moscow and St. Petersburg? Quite a lot of difference. Ethnicity, religion, income, education etc. They are also throwing Central Asian migrants towards the frontline after a short trip to prison. You'll find largely the same ethnic groups in North-Western Kazahstan and Orenburg oblast.
But that means you're doing tar flag flashcards more often than you're using those tar flags? Because otherwise, and for me, the CLI usage is the flashcard? Using them is what teaches me and keeps fresh the commands and flags that I most often use.
I had the same experience. I invested a lot of time on Anki and it paid back, but I could never stick to it. There is always a point where I have to skip 2 or 3 days because of life and the huge backlog is too much that I give up.

I recently started to use Supermemo because of some comments on HN, and so far it have been going quite well. I feel less overwhelmed when I have to take a break, I think the algorithm (or maybe it is just good defaults?) is much less punishing. I am still new to it, and I have a baggage of knowledge from my past experiences using SRS, so it is unfair to compare it to Anki at the moment. But it renew my passion for memorizing, so far it has been worth the investment.
>The reality, I think, is that most people fundamentally don't like to read, and that reading more than a few paragraphs is rapidly becoming something akin to a chore for the majority of the population.

Agreed.

I grew enjoying reading, I still enjoy reading, I'm here reading too many comments. Despite that, of the thousands of "pages" I read last year, most were video with the screen off or proper audio. And that's been the case ever since I became employed in jobs that lack downtime. Reading demands eyeballs, but so does coding, driving, digging, doing dishes, cleaning, etc. Video or rather the implied audio does not.
Agreed. I'm a Data Analyst and as much as I use numpy/pandas/matplotlib for a lot of my work. When it comes to sharing the data that my work is based on I usually need to export it to Excel with the calculations.

There is just a need to use the more complex features to do things and that can also show how changing a variable affects the overall analysis. I can't give people a python script or jupyter notebook and tell them to do x or y or z.

I can recreate all my calculations in excel, using python, with the same graphs and visuals, and give them instructions on what cells relate to what variables that affect the analysis so they can experiment for themselves.

With Google sheets, LibreOffice, etc., I haven't seen that kind of functionality.
Have you tried pyright? I find it way better than mypy.
The Galaxy Watch from Samsung works great, even if you don't have a Samsung phone.

I keep hearing how much better the Apple Watch is but I still can't see how.

>That starts with the fact that the US doesn't do compulsory military service, because soldiers who don't want to be there aren't effective soldiers (note that Israel does do compulsory military service, which is because they have different problems than we do).

While the security concerns of certain countries have motivated compelled military service, I wonder if a side-effect is less division/greater intra-country tolerance? And would the U.S. benefit from instituting compelled military service, or perhaps, compelled national service, which doesn't necessarily entail holding a weapon.

Some cursory searching turned up this study from Brookings suggesting that it would. https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/nationa...

> for-profit model is what allows many of the aforementioned streamers to make a living

The streamers will be fine. Eric Rosen is one steamer who refuses to sell out to chess.com. Chess.com is beginner friendly but not fee, doesn't even let you analyse your games properly without a subscription.

I do see harm in it, considering their competitor is a non-profit which has done great things for the chess community. Including open sourcing many things like icons and webassembly chess engines.
> Im not dang but I would like to share a hypothesis why this maybe isn’t so terrible.

> The thing that always stood between the world and climate action was the fact that fossil fuels were the best energy source.

If we could put climate change on hold for 50 years we would probably be in pretty good shape, because in 50 years we will probably have enough renewable energy that we can just decide to stop burning (most) oil.

But in the real world, in 2024 we haven't actually reduced emissions at all yet, and the possibility of cutting down emissions in 50 years isn't enough.

It's true that in that sense we aren't that far from a scenario that "isn't so terrible" but that seems more like an ironic fact than something that should be comforting.

Because of the way climate change works, the future possibility of reducing emissions simply isn't enough if we aren't actually currently reducing emissions when we would really need to be at approximately zero right now to fix the problem.

Studies have been done in the US. Here [1] is (to my knowledge) the latest, and it does indeed show a substantial reversal of the Flynn Effect. And to my knowledge the reversal of the Flynn Effect is indeed globally acknowledged. The debate at this point is on the cause.

The main reason early studies were in places like Scandinavia is that they have compulsory military enlistment alongside IQ tests, whose results are made available for research. Studies in places like the US came later, because simply getting a representative and comparable sample is non-trivial. There's also the cultural issue that studies on IQ are walking on eggshells in the US.

And it's not slight regressions. We've gone from gradually and consistently gaining IQ, to the current scenario where some studies [2] have shown declines as great as .29 standard deviation per decade. Meaning in 40 years we'd all be a whole standard deviation away from where the mean used to be. That is exceptionally disconcerting, particularly if it doesn't just flat-line at some point.

For all you people who have used Anki or other SRS for many years: how do you get over the problem of being bored by it? Or does that not happen to you?

Though I have not used Anki, I used a similar SRS for learning Chinese - the flashcards built in Pleco, but no matter how often I try to use it, I never last longer than 5-10 days, I just get bored by it. Also, no matter how I try to adjust the algo, I have the feeling that I am constantly over- or underwhelmed, no flow for me.

In the meanwhile I love learning, no matter if flashy (e.g. Duolingo) or traditional (from books) or something in between (a class), but I just never got the hang of SRS, though so many people recommend it.
I genuinely gave it a try but either my smartphone speakers or my ears weren't up to the task of having this at a non-obnoxious volume during the screaming while being able to understand the lines being spoken. Subtitles are not available and the auto-generated ones are (predictably, for this format) quite unusable.

If there's a point they're making, I wasn't able to hear it unfortunately :/ Can't imagine what a hard-of-hearing or deaf person would have to make of the auto subtitles...
The UNIX model won over object approaches. And I think there is a reason: The simplicity of flat memory model, C, a unified file interface etc. removes a lot of complexity and allows composition of diverse components to a working system.

Or in other words: If C++ were actually better for engineering large systems, GNU wouldn't have had a chance.

Cooking every meal from scratch is a recipe for disaster.

Despite what this blogger tells you, reheated, next day pasta is still delicious, so you are allowed to cook more than one serving per person.

My go to pasta takes maybe 45m to cook, and it results in 4-5 servings, which is two meals for two people:

1Kg of tomatoes, that you blanch beforehand (pour boiling water over the tomatoes after you score their skins in a cross, leave to sit). Peal the tomatoes and dice them into as small chunks as you want.

In a wide pan (even a wok), fry some bacon cubes (or pancetta if you want to be authentic) in oil or butter, whichever. When they have reached a level of crispiness you're OK with, dump the cubed tomatoes in and cover with a lid. (If you're feeling fancy, you can take the bacon out and add at the end, I rarely do)

Put a pack of pasta to boil - I usually use 500g of fusilli (don't buy Barilla, those guys are assholes), and as the guy says, make sure the water is very salty, but not bitterly so.

In small bowl crush 5-6 cloves of garlic. Pour about a spoonfull of oil and stir with some rough salt until it becomes a little like mayo in consistency. Dump another spoonfull of sour cream and homogenize.

Take the lid of the pan and use a potato masher to crush the tomato cubes into a nice sauce. It does not need to be perfect, but make an effort.

By this time, the pasta should be close to done. When that happens strain the pasta (keep some water if you want). Dump the garlic cream in the sauce, homogenize (maybe with the water) and then add the pasta. (The longer the garlic cooks, the less impact it will have on the overall flavour, my preference is full garlic)

Stir vigorously until pasta is well covered in sauce then take off the stove.

Dump a bunch of grated hard cheese on it (I use about 250g of Grana Padano, or in dire straight some sharp Cheddar) and stir until it coats everything evenly. Ta-da, you have pasta!

PS. Apologies to any nonne that I offended with my interpretation of authentic pasta.

It's a sketch comedy YouTube group. In this sketch a group of scientists are accosted by two people representing the rich and politically powerful who are yelling that people are dying outside because of poison falling from the sky. The scientists take this in stride saying it was a bit earlier than they predicted. The politicians try to get the scientists to do something, but they refuse angrily throwing their papers in the politicians faces that predicted this outcome. The scientists then don additional PPE as the politicians die (there wasn't enough funding to make PPE for them) and the scientists walk out the door to go see a movie, noting that they won't have any competition for the theatre since everyone else is probably dead.
What happened to this link, it’s now a video of some people yelling?
why is it that they want to always group and divide along their own boundaries? lol
I really loved my scanwatch but there was two major problems:

The hardware (at least gen 1) has around a 1 year lifespan due to the quality of the seals. You can only get a warranty replacement once. Mine literally fell apart once when I put it on, then the other one was shorting out in the case.

They don’t allow heart rate sharing over Bluetooth. Kind of a niche feature but this stops you from using it as a heart rate monitor with a bike computer or other exercise equipment.

In the end, after the support refused to service my watch for a warranty repair, I just switched to a Garmin Venu 3S, which I like, but I do miss that semi-analogue design.

What I'm saying is, if it wasn't oxy, it would have been vicodin or some other narcotic. The problem is how they are prescribed and the social environment. Sure oxy misrepresented safety which lead to some increase in outpatient prescription, but this is still a major source of the problem. Oxy is just the scapegoat for much larger systemic issue since they got caught misrepresenting safety. Nobody has any actual solution to this problem so far.

That's true, but I think it's quite debatable what would actually happen. Most species wouldn't need to adapt, but just migrate. There are a lot of species which already thrive in warm / tropical climates, and those species would increase in numbers.
Is this because of the touch screen? I have only ever used my garmins. I can't imagine having a watch I could not use in the rain.

Because if it turns out to have a longer lifespan we stop calling it pop culture. E.g. novels, opera, Shakespeare etc.

I know it's a small thing, but I have to wake up early several days a month to perform a production health check at work, and I love the smooth integration:

1. Roll out of bed

2. Put on my Apple Watch

3. Unlock my iPhone with FaceID as I'm walking to my laptop

4. My iPhone unlocks my Watch by the time I get there

5. I tap a key on my keyboard, and my Watch unlocks my laptop

Unfortunately that smooth integration comes to a crashing halt when I have to log into my work VDI, but the Apple ecosystem is a very warm, welcoming place.
Interesting that Siemens seem to still be willing to support a Win 3.11-based system for at least one operator. That said, this looks like it's a third-party doing that work but Siemens must be tacitly allowing the third party to try to do so, as they'd have a complete stranglehold on the design, software and hardware underneath it.

I worked for a rail operator and the driver interface systems of our locos (from other suppliers) were running on WinXP. We wanted some changes and feature upgrades, but the supplier said it was obsolete and they would not do any code changes to the WinXP software. Instead, they were telling us to move to a QNX-based version of it (which came with all of the fun joys of ensuring feature and interface equivalence for both the system and the human-computer interfaces). This was even for old locos, where moving to the QNX-based system wasn't just about running the same front-end software on a different OS, but in some cases was a fundamental hardware design upgrade (i.e. moving from a dumb terminal with a rack of hardware in a cupboard to fully integrated computers in the dash), which then meant making it interface with other hardware systems that may not be designed to talk to it. In some cases, those additional systems had to be upgraded. It was well in to 8 figures of work to do.

I am surprised that Siemens have, in some degree, allowed ongoing support for this. Whichever operator uses it must be fairly big in order to bend them to still actively manage it.

Maybe it’s intentional but things are far larger on a phone. It only shows 3 stories, where the “non-pretty” client shows 8. It’s also really weird that click on an article leads to the comments on HN rather than the actual article. Like, why would I be interested in the comments for something I haven’t read first?

I’m not sure I think it’s prettier, at least not on the front page on mobile. It looks a little like some sort of vision disability mode, which I guess is nice for some people, but big things aren’t necessarily pretty to me.
