> it’s almost impossible to achieve an even half-decent experience without significant knowledge and research now.

The thing you have to learn is how to find resources at short notice. That skill is adaptable and should never require significant knowledge and research. Most of what you learned as as 12 year old should still apply.
On the one hand i am glad that ECB dies officially as a mode on the other hand i wonder what NIST officially recommends when you want to encrypt data that's shorter than one block. xD

Kinda!

The frequency of words in every human language follows the Zipf distribution, which is a power law, like the pareto distribution.

Some learners create what are called frequency lists, which are lists of the most common words, and learn those words first. In general, you get (disproportionately) more bang for your buck from learning the most common words than the rarer words when it comes to understanding.

However, due to the very long tail of word frequency distributions, you eventually need to just start learning words as they come and stop trying to over-optimize with a frequency list.

Thank you so much! It’s been quite a journey. Our team at Canopas started with the idea of making cricket more accessible to local and amateur teams who often lack the tools to manage players and match data efficiently.

Building Khelo involved a lot of brainstorming around user needs. We wanted to ensure it was simple to use yet comprehensive enough to track everything from toss results to player performance over time. Flutter’s cross-platform capabilities were a game-changer for us, making the app available on both Android and iOS without doubling the work.

We also faced some interesting challenges while integrating Firebase for real-time data syncing and Riverpod for state management, but it’s been rewarding seeing how they streamlined the app's performance.

What aspect of the journey would you like to dive into? I’d be happy to share more insights!

I checked these out but couldn't find the answer to the questions I am asking. It tells you how to maximize efficiency while learning, but doesn't tell you how to identify what you should be learning in the first place and what the sequence of your focus should be when you start.
It is an iterative process. One would move forward with a baseline foundation and pay attention to the difficulties and inefficiencies in the learning process to triangulate the additional foundation needed.

After 10+ years working on testing practices inside Google, I have found that even the most obvious practices somehow get ignored or misunderstood. As with a lot of programing practices, for every person that has thought deeply about why the practices exists, there exist many many more who just apply the practice as a matter of course (eg mocking, dependency injection, micro services, etc).

It might be useful to provide a little more context for why I wanted to write this in the first place - Over the last 15 or so years we have been tremendously successful at getting folks to write tests. And like any system, once you remove a bottleneck or resource constraint in one place, you inevitably find one somewhere else. In our case we used to take running our tests for granted, but now the cost of doing so now has actual cost implications that we need to consider. I also observed some in internal discussions that had become a little to strident about the absolutes of one kind of test or another, and often in such a way that treated terms like "unit" or "integration" as a sort of universal categories, completely ignoring the broad, practical implications we have bound together into a few shorthand terms.

My goal when trying to develop this idea was to find a way to succinctly combine the important set of tradeoffs teams should consider when thinking, not about a single test, but their entire test suite. I wanted to create a meme (in the Dawkin's sense) that would sit in the background of an engineer's mind that helped them quickly evaluate their test suite's quality over time.

I'm sorry but this is near unusable since the death of XUL and introduction of WebExtensions. I was a truly avid user of VimFX which did the same thing.
Vimium these days does not work when a page hasn't finished loading and it doesn't work on blank pages (about:blank) or any other "system page" (like the preferences or addons). The "o" key can no longer highlight the address bar but brings up a non-native address bar that does not find my bookmarks as it should.

Imagine you couldn't click on another tab with your mouse pointer while the current active one is loading. Yes, it's as terribly frustrating as it sounds.

In the XUL days I could even use vim shortcuts to access every button in the Firefox UI!

Luckily there is a solution for now. VimFx[1] is still being updated and works with the LegacyFox shim!

Posts like this that talk about learning "efficiency" always come off as soulless and dystopian to me. I think learning should be fun and that fun learning is the most effective---that's the only thing I optimize for and I certainly don't think about efficiency percentages. What a drag that would be.
Well assuming we’re talking about Elon Musk, he has admitted to using prescription Ketamine for depression, which seems to have a negligible effect on cognition for therapeutic use

yeah the permissions and ecosystem are scary. I have a very small extension (1000-ish users), and even I get "monetization opportunity for your extension" emails maybe... every other week?

Sometimes I feel like the only reason it's not a platform-breaking problem is that most extension devs make enough money from their day job to not care about a quick buck.

I so much agree with you. I understand and remember the things I learn more when I am having fun or it piqued my curiosity. But I guess shortness of time needs us to focus on the efficiency aspect of it too.

I'll try to slightly dive into Advaita philosophy here.
Both the Upanishads and the Yoga Vasistha affirm that the distinction between the seer and the Self is an illusion created by the mind. When this illusion is dispelled, the oneness of the Self is realized. The intellect, which seems to function as a separate tool, is ultimately part of the same illusion. True knowledge is realizing that there is no separation—everything is the Self.

Quoting one from Katha Upanishad 1.3.10:

"Indriyebhyaḥ parā hy artha, arthebhyas ca param manah, manasas tu parā buddhir buddher ātmā mahān parah"

Translation: "Beyond the senses are the objects, beyond the objects is the mind, beyond the mind is the intellect, beyond the intellect is the Self."

This quote emphasizes that the intellect is still a part of the illusion. Beyond even the intellect lies the Self, which is one and undivided.
I touched on this a bit up thread, but I just want to note that my intention wasn't to get anyone to "do SMURF correctly". My goal was to create an idea to compete with the "Test Pyramid" which, while a useful guide in an environment with limited or no testing, didn't lead to productive conversations in an organization with a lot of tests.

My hope is that this little mnemonic will help engineers remember and discuss the practical concerns and real world tradeoffs that abstract concepts like unit, integration, and E2E entail. If you and your team are already talking about these tradeoffs when you discuss how to manage a growing test suite, then you're you will likely find this guidance a bit redundant, and that's fine by me :)

> And if they make a million more fighting piracy rather than not then they'll do it.

Right, but they don't. That's the point.

> It's clear the Coca Cola company made it's decision there.

The question is to what extent was that decision based on real research and data, versus being influenced by being taken out for a nice lunch by some admen and because "that's how we've always done it".

> Word of mouth for product 1.0 doesn't matter if the single dev can't afford to get to product 2.0.

Piracy isn't going to impact that reality at all.

> Thars how "pirates spend the most" work Survivor bias is playing a huge role here, and most pirated services doit survive.

There's no bias, nor is this speculation. This is a topic that has been researched for more than 20 years at this point and consistently shows that pirates spend more and lead to an increase in sales.

> And "we'll pay you on exposure" is just as insulting to hear from a pirate as it is from a conglomerate.

Only in the context of certain expectations, which people can't accept were wrong and maybe shouldn't have been ingrained into them.

People rewarding what like, especially in the context of art, is how humanity has done it for the vast majority of history. You could say, perhaps, that sharing and rewarding is more in line with human nature.

I don't really have a problem with the involuntary shareware situation pretty much every dev has been forced into. I don't believe it's ultimately harmful at all.

> Giving away your 1.0 for free works at the scale of Microsoft or Adobe where you can reel them in later (by shutting off the very piracy they benefitted from).

I mean, most software these days that home users use tends to be open source with a donation button anyway.

Any software developer heavily dependent on commercial sales of a first version software product would likely already have some sale contracts in place, because it would be foolish to take out loans or be wasting money for something that might not sell.

> Small businesses can't sit on rent or debt anywhere near as long.

Then they shouldn't have ventured into software if they were unaware of what the market is like. This has little to do with piracy, unless you assume every pirated instance would be a loss sale, which is obviously never the case.
My post wasn't concerned with internal code documentation. Seems like we're having parallel conversations.
Is there a word trick here I'm missing? I can only interpret it in the face-value sense of underlining the last word, "line".

So if you use Android you won't be able to use this feature?
In my experience, the words that carry the most information in a sentence are the less common ones. Here's what understanding 80% of a sentence is like:

"I went to the sdjfkdsh and got a new ghjsakgfh."

The missing words could be "dealership" and "truck" or "embassy" and "passport" or quite a lot of other pairs that change the topic entirely, so reading or listening to something with 80% understanding generally requires a dictionary in one hand to get you up to a reasonable level of comprehension. That said, I personally think language learning is enjoyable and rewarding, and tackling the most common word list is a good first step.
Because 40 is sustainable, and the standard we've mostly all agreed to (with some fuzzy room in there for heavy versus light weeks/etc).

This sounds like a reductive answer, because it is: Capitalism is social, zero sum, and reductive. There are people out there who will put in 50, 60, 70 hour weeks. If you do 40, they'll probably beat you, plain and simple. Fortunately, we've all mostly agreed that 40 is enough, so you aren't regularly competing with the people who are willing to destroy themselves for shareholder value. There's nothing all that magical about the number 40. There are numbers greater than 40 that approach "ok, humans can't physically sustain that"; but fortunately we've pushed the number to 40 through years of positive labor movements.
> It's a load-bearing statement. I do understand how someone who lacks grounding in the physical sciences might not realize that. Glad to help.

Condescending and wrong, and all in defence of the facially farcical statement that the US uses the metric system. Not that US customary units are defined in terms of metric quantities, which is the moved goalpost you're now trying to defend, but that "the US uses the metric system".

Whether or not the US 'uses the metric system' is not contingent on what units US customary units are legally defined in reference to, that's merely trivia.* US customary units do not form part of the metric system, and metric units do not enjoy widespread use in the United States (with minor exceptions).

Ergo, the US does not use the metric system.

* And relatively recent trivia at that, US units were naturally not first defined in metric units, only later restated as such.

The Drake Equation is a fun idea and all but I think it should go up there with Sagan's Nuclear Winter work as more thought experiment than reality.

It's just too arrogant to think we currently can place odds on all the important events necessary for us or something like us to come into being. At the time this equation was devised, I'm not even sure they understood how crazy lucky the development of mitochondria was.

In reality, we just don't know the many factors that might've affected our outcome. Also, it's just pure lottery falacy to reason about the statics that specifically "we" exist. If the odds for some strange reason settled out around about 1 of there being a single sentient species in our universe, that species would come to reason about itself and produce the same long odds of their existence. It's a longshot that a specific someone wins the lottery twice. It is a statistical inevitability that someone will win twice.

Whoever they are, they can't alienate themselves from being the one despite all the statistical huffing and puffing they can conjure. We will only know how special we are when we find another or once we have surveyed enough planets in depth.
Sorry, no votes for you; it was "word".

No, wait, you needed to underline every occurrence of the word "line".

Again, no idea if this test is real, just, that's the gimmick.
Yes. I like to look at the moon and think of it as being "down" and I'm the one at an angle. Rather than "there's nothing under me, just the ground" it's "there's nothing under me, just nothing forever."
Ramanujan responsible for inspiring generations of mathematicians throughout the world. His life was a beautiful tragedy. One that leaves me in awe and also great inner sadness. If you come from a hardcore traditional br*hmin family, just to cross over the ocean by boat would risk you getting excommunicated. The culture which he came from makes the entire story all the more legendary. Just cutting off your topknot and forgoing the dhoti to wear a western suit. We don’t understand what he went through and what he gave up to give us his mathematics. What he had to sacrifice to practice his art.. to be.

Well, my solution would be this:

Instead of giving kids grades with a ceiling, each subject would have (unlimited number of) levels of proficiency, and to attain a level, kids would have to pass a test (demonstrate certain skill). The choice of subjects and levels to attain would be up to each kid, but they would have to choose to do something (working at getting next level of something would be mandatory). (Although perhaps they should be encouraged to explore different subjects and attain some minimum of levels.)

Also, I would group kids by subject, and not by age. So kids of slightly different levels would train together, and the higher level kids would be obligated to help kids on lower level to learn, while lower level kids were taught to be respectful of higher level kids.
That we can know anything at all is a miracle in itself. It could have been just fine evolutionarily for us Earth creatures to be no more than Large Action Models with no inner experience, but somehow we ended up as these perceiving, cogitating, apprehending beings.
This is not true. We’ve all observed how differently people behave online. The anonymity aspect creates different social outcomes.

While there are arguments for preserving encryption, acting like online communication is the same as face to face is disingenuous.
You should better read up research done in the domain of philosophy of sciences. I was not providing a definition of hypothesis. Instead, treat as a hypothesis about hypothesis. Definitions don't settle any dispute, whatsoever, because they just replace one symbol (definiendum) with another set of symbols (definiens).
I somewhat disagree. Although having fun is important, I also want to make the most of my time. further, I think some aspects of learning can be a real slog, but when you get through it you find it rewarding.

Pedantry time! At least in Germany, the "Rundfunkbeitrag" is not a tax, but more like a fee. Taxes go into the overall budget of the collecting party who then uses a part of the budget to fund something. The broadcasting fee can only be used for the broadcasting system and does not go through the country's budget. This means to increase the broadcasting budget, the fee has to be increased and it can't be subsidized by increasing the budget without increasing the tax.
>The number of STEM graduates every year in China is equal to the entire STEM working population in the US.

This is a problem statement not a solution. If the stat above is true, then there is obviously something very wrong with that system if they still can't out innovate us.
How does border security or limits on immigration prepare the US for taking in large numbers of climate refugees? The US's strengths when it comes to immigration is specifically that we're relatively easy to get into for a rich country, because we have a generous family reunification visa program, and thus have large support communities for basically every immigrant population you can think of.

In other words, the US is already way more prepared for climate refugees than, say, the EU is. Though, to be fair, the US is also going to have a lot of internal climate refugees, too.

Returning to your erudite point "and stuff"

The NASA Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite orbited Earth in 1989–1996 ...

Inspired by the COBE results, a series of ground and balloon-based experiments measured cosmic microwave background anisotropies on smaller angular scales ...

The sensitivity of the new experiments improved dramatically, with a reduction in internal noise by three orders of magnitude.

Hmmm, it appears the ground based results were a dramatic improvement over the sat based data.
Note that the pipe operator is the rejected tacit pipes from TC-39. TC-39 made the (IMO) wrong choice of what they call hack style pipes (with a mandatory token) where instead of the pipe being a simple way to call unary functions. Civet seems to have picked the better pipes.
