From where I am standing, it failed in everything except headless computing, with similar input/output devices as a PDP-11.

If it isn't a server, or a some piece of software running on a smart appliance, it hardly matters how much POSIX it is exposed.

By the way, C++ is also UNIX, born and raised by AT&T in their UNIX labs, it is the main reason why all C compiler vendors adopted it in first place, including Stalmman's GCC, as you should clearly be aware.
Yeah this is just a tip of an iceberg.

Note that the article refers to Soviet antisemitism: Jews were denied academic jobs, and they couldn't move abroad to work in their field, either. Not really related to mathematics as such (and definitely not about the mathematical community rejecting an antisemite).
I’ve used it for 4 years now to learn Japanese. It might be a simple matter of lowering the max # of review cards or the max # of new cards.

Also, given that you mentioned enjoying duolingo more, there are browser extensions/repos out there to enhance the Anki experience. I have some that help me make cards based on material I’m reading for fun.

I was having the same issue as you, and I had to fix it by making it more engaging and personal. Now all of my words concern material I’m interested in, and have some context.

I think that being responsibles for it is even more of a tragedy.
>Since ~2013 Apple designers have been throwing over board lots of conventions the company had been itself establishing for decades.

2013 was when we first witness it in effect. It started a little earlier inside Apple. When Scot Forstall was forced out, the whole Software User Interface falls to Jony Ive and he basically ripped everything out and redesigned it with iOS 7. There is a huge different, or dare I say 95% completely unrelated field in Software UX and Hardware UX. Apple then spend the next 3-4 years walking back on all the design changes made in iOS 7.

Unfortunately a lot of UX learning was lost during that period. Including the Seniors of Human User Interface retiring during 2015 - 2020. The group has also grown rapidly in terms of numbers under Tim Cook. A lot of the Steve Jobs design requirement and "why" were diluted with more new members.

The design from Apple today may still look beautiful, but they are no longer as functional as they once were.

I think one could attribute the development of Llama, React, Graph Search and possibly some other things too to him... Credit where credit is due (and that's coming from someone who doesn't hold him in high regard).
It’s not because developers want to work with toilets or other mundane things. Is because the system we all live in has become obsessed with taking everything we do.
It seems the tricky part is motivation. Very few people get excited by card-reviewing itself. The method shines when there is external pressure, such as exams.

I think a sense of community can help provide this motivation (like a group of people all learning at the same time), but it's still tricky.
But zdeus is the 'owner' of the nitter project on Github. That's their official word for it, even though it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the legal concept of (copyright) ownership.

And then there's 'owner' in the software dev sense, i.e. the one that ultimately decides which direction the project takes, what patches to merge etc. is sometimes referred to as "product owner".
For about 15 years trial and error, then I started wearing just black, and 6 months ago I started watching YT videos on the matter. I prefer a British youtuber called Harry Has. I have watched some of his vids during lunch and slowly gained some intuition.

Only in regards to the rivers drying out.
At that time those rivers weren’t canals like since the 19th century. They where much larger and had more „siderivers“ so water could get into the ground etc much more easily.
I'm studying data structures and algorithms, out of interest, and to pass technical interviews. I can't fire up ChatGPT during interviews.

Anki has definitely helped me. It's surprising how well it works if you do it daily.

I also add new cards when I come across a word I don't know. If I keep this up for years or decades, my vocabulary should be extraordinary.

Wait, it makes no sense, but let's run our own mpg numbers. I'll start in L/100km as that's what I'm used to and I'll convert it at the end. My 19 year old VW golf Mk5 4*4 (hatchback) does 4.5L/100km or 43mpg on a highway. Now let's take Tesla's M3 real world tested 14.5kWh/100km (at 70mph on a motorway). Each liter of diesel contains 9.16kWh so this is essentially 1.58L/100km or 148mpg which is not bad at all for a 2+ ton vehicle. So where did the 68mpg value they supposedly multiply by 6.6 came from?
I personally think it looks really good! I like the color scheme and the way each element looks together with the font. It also fits quite nicely with the original Hackernews “brand”.

I found it a bit unintuitive though that I couldn’t click on comments and also found the spacing between links a bit too large for my taste.

Couldn’t you catch the popular ones by looking in your logs for correlated bumps in traffic anytime you’re on the front page?

If that’s not good enough, trawling through HN Algolia search is probably the best way, since they’re almost surely going to have been announced on HN.
Is Microsoft also intentionally withholding software from Windows ARM? They only just shipped a fully native Visual Studio for ARM in December, four years after releasing the ARM-based Surface Pro X, and a decade after their earlier ARM push with the Tegra-based Surfaces.

Very nice. Pretty much anything can be mapped over the Simpsons cast, simply because it's so big; but the Bart-Milhouse dynamic looks like a really good fit for Kaneda-Tetsuo. And the trailer is gorgeous - I particularly liked how it arcs back to the underground look of the very first seasons.
> it's obvious when the video is muted or not (hopefully).

It isn’t always obvious to me. Sometimes I can’t tell if a video player is muted vs the system volume being low. There’s also the situation where a video is silent and I don’t know if I’m supposed to be hearing anything.
With an AWS IP and a bot usage pattern they’ll surely ban your account pretty quickly or put you in front of a CAPTCHA. I wish it was as easy as a small script. Without anti-bot techniques, sites would be overflown by scraping bots. Try to scrape a Cloudflare protected site, for example. They’re really good in figuring out if you’re human or a bot. IIRC they even fingerprint your TLS handshake or cypher suite, which ultimately made me give up with headless Chrome and Puppeteer even after proxying through my residential IP, spoofing user-agent and screen size and rate limiting. Unfortunately, there’s no way to distinguish good bots for personal usage from bad bots.
There's a narcissism that lends to every generation thinking theirs is the end of history, but I don't think it entirely explains anxiety over climate change.
So I have never actually used Anki for languages specifically, but I use it heavily for almost everything I deem important enough that I want to remember.

There are two very common reasons why people lose interest/motivation after trying out Anki. The first one is creating too many cards when you first start out. People get excited by SRS and then start creating cards for a lot of things, especially for stuff they don't actually care to remember. This is understandable, since you can't do SRS when you have nothing to repeat. But that gets overwhelming quickly, because it's hard to be motivated if you don't actually care about the material.

The solution for this is to only create flashcards when an opportunity arises organically. This has the additional benefit of your review sessions being extremely short in the beginning, which makes it easier to establish the habit of reviewing.

The second problem that often leads to people quickly giving up is not knowing what makes a good card. It's actually not as easy as one might think. Especially not when you want to get more out of SRS than just rote memorization of trivia.
There's an excellent article from Andy Matuschak on this topic that explains it way better than I ever could https://andymatuschak.org/prompts/

If you specifically want to do language learning, then you might be tempted to download premade decks. This might work a little bit better than for everything that's not languages, but in my experience making a card is at least as important as the repetition itself. It forces you to distill the knowledge down into good cards, which is only possible if you engage with the material and also helps you find gaps in your knowledge. So I'd recommend against it.

Regarding your comment on adjusting the repetition algorithm... don't. It's highly unlikely that you'd be able to improve on the defaults if you don't have a good feel for how slow/fast you forget things. Even then, it's pretty difficult to make good adjustments. It's much more likely that the flow you're missing is just from not doing it long enough.

Hope that helps :)
I recommend the iOS app by the original app develop for reviewing but the desktop version for creation.

These are three different languages which are (ought to be) internally consistent though. Humans are pretty good at switching contexts when there's a clear difference between these, like using their PC, their Mac or holding their phone. What they suck at is learning something that isn't consistent at all.
Following. Inventor of OrCAD CIS (Component Information System) here. Still using an old version of Eagle (7.3.0) before it got neutered by Autodesk. I mostly just use schematic capture for documentation, rarely layout an actual pcb, and just use a solderable breadboard for hobby projects. Kicad has been on my list to check out, comments here most appreciated. Didn't know about Horizon, which also sounds worthy.
Yes, our country is a mess. I don't think that the states currently have the power to oppose and reverse the directives of the FDA. That will shortly come to a head with the abortion drugs.

Fun fact... many people know that Coca-Cola originally included cocaine as an ingredient, but fewer are aware that 7-Up was originally made with lithium.

"The product, originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda", was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1948... Its name was later shortened to "7 Up Lithiated Lemon Soda" before being further shortened to just "7 Up" by 1936."

Trump or whichever panderer will get the like/view/clicks anyways

Since platforms signal to everyone popularity or engagement = quality. And no one is proposing anything better. As content/noise explodes with everyone broadcasting, the pressure will keep growing for mechanisms that generate signals of quality. If the mechanisms are poor, random and chaotic things will keep Emerging out of these systems.

Microtargeting is an added bonus for the attention seekers and panderers. You can regulate micro targetting and it won't reduce the things that get propped up by the algos.

There is a reason radio spectrum is regulated. If everyone broadcasts without any coordination all you get is massive noises where no one can hear anything anyone else is saying. And that's pretty much what's happening now. Mechanisms to increase signal and reduce noise are half baked.

They didn't intend to, though, and I can see why they wouldn't expect it to actually break. I mean: why should it?

Actually doing the jumping out and leaving the cubicle locked and empty thing would be unethical. Seeing if it would be possible is less of an issue. Accidentally breaking something in the process is a hint not to try it a third time.

I agree, just note that a Truffle implementation doesn't require a new runtime (if by runtime you mean a Java runtime; Truffle works on OpenJDK) and that the implementation of Babashka already depends on a Clojure interpreter (just not one based on the Truffle framework) that's a different implementation from mainline Clojure (which uses a compiler to bytecode).

My point wasn't so much to suggest to Clojure's stewards a course of action but to say that since Babashka already makes use of Native Image to get fast startup and already depends on a separate interpreter implementation that suffers from runtime performance, then Babashka may want to consider basing their interpreter on Truffle to improve runtime performance. If you already picked Native Image for your product and already decided to create a separate implementation of the language based on a source-code interpreter, might as well try basing it on Truffle.
I think the apartment writing is symptomatic of the extreme, highly educated, San Francisco bubble many live in.

The writing style of the tenant matters to them zero.

I just installed the Flathub version on Fedora. No problem at all!

Yeah, this is kind of a problem with a lot of 'alternative' social media sites and platforms. They become places where the majority of discussion is "why the existing site/service is trash and why the people using it are idiots/wrong"

But that's not an interesting topic to discuss, at least not for very long. A community based on negativity towards an existing community is built on sand, and probably isn't going to last very long.

So they need to find a way to attract people who discussing 'normal' things, and don't spend every waking moment of their life being obsessed with the platform/the old platform.

Everything you mentioned works on GrapheneOS, I wouldn't use it if it didnt, I am personally kind of on the limit of my inconvenience tolerance regarding such things.

And don't worry, google services are treated as normal user level apps (1), and are sandboxed like any other user app, so you get perfect compatibility with better privacy and security than your average phone.

Even Android Auto works now, issues only arise when dealing with safety net, googles hardware attestation (2).
It mostly only affects bank apps, but in my experience most of them work without issues, however Gpay won't work at all no matter what.

Personally the only worry I have with GrapheneOS is its crazy dev, he said he will step down (3), but he still does a lot (4).

I haven't used Kicad in years. I thought they improved significantly in that time span, while HorizonEDA was stagnating at it's admittedly very good level of quality.

What I am missing from HorizonEDA is the ability to set constraints to signals/pads such as maximum and minimum current, voltage, frequency or setting impedance targets.

There is also no easy way to do a simple static current FEM simulation on custom polygon shapes. You can already do this using a chain of four open source tools but it is a lot of manual steps.

>Pain protocols now feature OTC stuff even though they result in more pain in patients because they are equally effective but have no chance of death or life ruining addiction.

If they were "as effective" they would not result in more pain.

Additionally, pain ruins more lives than opioids and has been doing so for thousands of years. Ever tried to hold a job when you're in agony and have only slept a few hours that week?

People with untreated or untreatable pain tend to just kill themselves. That is NOT a better outcome than addiction.

Ah, the way I intepreted your original comment it seemed that "does it for free" meant "relying on CGNAT" which was why I objected to it.
I don't think people should be free of pain.

At present removing pain from people requires highly addictive substances that I consider to be chemical weapons or tools for destroying a person. Without a breakthrough-- some kind of non-opioid non-brain affecting painkiller, there's no way to achieve pain reduction without destroying the person.

It might be puritanical, but puritanism worked. A society with opioids doesn't.
Maybe. I don't use typescript, and rather this is my impression of state of things in Python.
