> Use Anki every day I think this is great advice. I have some friends that used Anki that told me "oh yeah I just study once per week" and I just had PTSD of when I forgot to do one day . Sometimes I would miss a day due to t

Whoops, sorry if that was confusing. Actually, it took me 20 minutes of time per day to do my reviews + new words. I had, on average, 200 cards to go through daily (180 review + 20 new cards).[1] Going through 18'000 words took me arou

I completely get what you mean and I had the same trouble. But keep at it, it will click.

I think I've used that deck for a few weeks. Mind sharing the link so I may take a look at it? :)

I'd say it's confirmation bias. In my personal circle, not a lot of people are interested in the Japanese language , but I know a few who took at least a few lessons on Mandarin or Spanish. I've learned Japanese and part of

I think the default settings are fine for 99% of the users. I've used them to "master" a language and I've been more than fine. Actually, I'd argue I was more effective than people who didn't use SRS.

I'm sorry, I didn't read the article but I thought my experience would be a good anecdote. I've used Anki for multiple years and learned around 18'000 Japanese words. It's difficult to say but I'd say I've

Which is still what Facebook did, if I'm not mistaken. There's no way they torrented and managed to upload less than 1 bit.

I'm convinced Wise is using AI for their customer service. I had absolutely no trouble getting help when I needed and the employee was always helpful, but ever since the birth of ChatGPT I don't even get an answer anymore. They do

I think their point is that you have plausible deniability because they wouldn't know you have a backup.

Not the person you responded to, but this is a topic that fascinates me; do you have any resource to learn more about that? One that explains in average human terms would be appreciated!

Also some anecdata, but I think it depends so much on the person: I gained 10 kilograms by living more than a year in Japan. I ate healthily so I wasn't fat by any means (in fact, I'm really skinny), but I ate so much that I think

This is definitely true from my experience. They eat less than even Europeans (which themselves eat less than Americans on average).

> who drink too much water I totally understand what you mean, however the vast majority of the population isn't even close to being hydrated properly so you're just taking an extreme example to make your point.

Don't you think we eat too much of those? Most people are dying of heart diseases and guess their causes... Japanese elderly don't even drink the broth of ramen otherwise they may literally die (not my words). Edit: sugar we don&#

Are you going to be able to find the data you're looking for if judges demand it? Data that ends up in that sea of crap is very often poorly labeled. Data that you cannot find again is useless. If you take more than 3 minutes to find a

I think it's fair to give it first if you're a Senior engineer and are able to receive offers quickly. If you were looking for a $150k salary, you could drop an extreme anchor at $200k and they might even give you $180k.

For a company I've interviewed with, I've been asked twice a salary range and declined both times. I was even transparent for the 2nd time (which happened months later) and answered that it's not in my interest to give a numb

Why use NextDNS when you can use a lightweight, native solution[1]? Sorry if this sounds condescending but I need less services and not more. [1]: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Indeed it doesn't enforce the response code and type. However, it's still a big step in the right direction to enforce request and response schema.
