This is a language learning tool that I hope you will enjoy! You can train your Spanish and German vocabulary with it. I documented my journey of building this on youtube, check it out here: https://youtu.be/1OOIW7ZWITg Cur

Because you carry those bad emotions with you then as baggage instead of getting over them. And then they will bias your character and the decisions you do. So your life wont be run by you, but by the hidden subconscious emotional baggage t

The whole point of vim is normal mode, not insert mode. Insert mode is just typing, but normal mode is code or file navigation. Its not about typing speed but deliberate action and precision - with vim you need only a couple of keystrokes.

Appreciate the feedback! My biggest challenge is to polish features. I have taken out a few features from the app because they where buggy and would break. I always had some ideas and prototyped them in the app but then after trying it out

In reality the problem is more complicated and the issue is that the current media of teaching via worksheets and teachers is lacking and insufficient, which renders this debate obsolete. What you have is different parts, learning new stuff

Have been reading reddit since 5 or so years now, but pretty much only the frontpage. I like reddit but it has gotten so political and toxic. Many posts boil down to "haha look how stupid this person is". I sometimes skim the cont

Im not sure I agree. These things are relative, and I would argue that "Capitalism" is an environment that is beneficial to "competition, innovation, refinement, transformation, and others" relative to other things. Im n

Steven Pinkers the "blank slate" deals with this question in depth. From what I recall is that genes do determine a lot. Evidence for this are studies with twins that grow up separate. The crux however is that only because genes s

Thats why I value ranking words by their frequency. That way, the most used words are learned first.

I second this. I lived for a semester in shanghai and one of my Chinese friends owned a small restaurant (not a proper fancy one, but also no fast food, idk how to call it) in the shopping mall on the peoples square. Besides the occasional

I also used kahn academy for similar reason and I think their quality changes depending on the subjects. For me the real value came from their exercises. You get a problem, you don't know the answer, you open all the hints, after a cou

I think this is great, but on first glance https://www.khanacademy.org/ seems to be significantly better. What makes mathigon different?

I dont really see your problem - and would counter with "we cant understand the world without data, but we also cant understand the world with data alone"[1]. With your firstly and secondly you are basically just making the normat

I had the same thought and my idea would be to buy the pimax 8k (or 5k). I read that the resolution is high enough to do desktop stuff with it. I dont have the money to buy it and the problem doesent bother me too much, but you could try it

Man, as a native German I hate this obsession with german naming english words. Disruptive becomes "erschütternd" which is a bad translation, or how do you translate "tech-stack"? Technologie Haufen? I solve this by spea

Before they where slaving in rice fields and starving. Factory labor actually gave them a lot of freedom and self determination - even with all that suicide going on, but the point is that its far more nuanced then you make it out to be. Ed

I dont quite understand this reoccurring sentiment about the poor book shops. Here in Germany the bookshops mainly feature fear mongering books and are mostly in German. Then there is a tiny section of english books (which often happen to b

Why cant things be more flexible, eg. you have a 7 day workweek but personally you only work 4 days? This seems like a good idea especially given more automation and more higher level jobs.

Straight from the Wikipedia article: Pinker identifies five "historical forces" that have favored "our peaceable motives" and "have driven the multiple declines in violence." They are: The Leviathan – the rise
