Language features. There are many features and language patterns, paradigms which I need to get used to in order to use libraries and read others code. (Similar to C++) I can't even begin to understand macros. So far it doesn't se

As someone who's not the biggest fan of Rust because of its complexity. There is a big reason to use it today. If you need to use something that has safety guarantees where it's possible to achieve acceptable performance in certai

This came out at the same time as Jurassic Park. This happens. John Carpenter's The Thing came out at the same time as E.T. The Extraterrestrial. Guess which one people saw.

>Flutter for the UI. Rust for the listening, and pitch detecting backend. Connected the former with the latter using flutter_rust_bridge. It's good to see that there is a active project to help with making Android apps using rust.

As a layman who hasn't done any kernel programming. Linus sounds pretty reasonable here. We can't have the kernel crashing because of a panic.

I'm aware it's not impossible to exploit the current plug-in free browsers we have now. It's still objectively better than before. Not that I'm satisfied with the current state of browsers mind you. I just think not bei

Still, overall better than the situation of having to install a plugin that may or may not be available or working fully on your system. Plus security concerns of running sometimes obscure binaries on your system to access web content.

It was just a guess. One year of regular exposure to comprehensible input should be enough to have a good enough grasp to build off of. This is only relevant if your goal is fluency and not having think so much before speaking.

Yes I also believe my estimate is off. Regardless you should have a good understanding of the language before speaking it so you won't fall into the issues of adapting new words and grammer to your current one. You also should have it

by bobajeff 4y ago
Comprehensible input has a pretty straight forward definition. It's language before or just after the end of understanding. Maybe 80-90 percent known words so you can get the context of what's being said. If you can't grab ho

I was guessing about about 15,000 hours I just think it has to be a lot time. I'm sure speaking helps most people who study languages simply by exposing them to more input more frequently then they would otherwise be exposed to. I just

by bobajeff 4y ago
In my opinion the issue with most language programs is that they focus too early on speaking when listening should be the focus early on. Really speaking shouldn't even come into the picture until exposure of about a year and something

I've honestly never thought about this issue until reading it. I wonder why they couldn't make registration-free eSIMs like they have with physical SIMs. That would be a major inconvenience when traveling otherwise.

One problem with that is now you have to trust the websites to give an accurate index of their content.

>webkit contributors who don't fix x86-linux bugs. Webkit on Linux is in a very sad state. Currently can't watch videos on YouTube on Twitch. Not sure why.

This is just an extension of the ISO Open Font Format (Opentype). I think it's great because it's so far the only standard way to specify color needed to render emojis.

Yes. With me it's motivation and energy. I'm not forcing it though. This is for me and it's currently solo project so I don't feel pressure to ever get it off and complete it. It's still worth it because I really en

This is encouraging because I too plan to make my own browser engine.

I remember one called penismighty.com. Which was a silly online community similar to, well nothing, but I guess the closest thing would be somethingaweful.com it even had alternative themes to the site which would lean into the different

I would like to use this. However, in the past when I've tried it I didn't like the results. It would be nice to hear about more competition in the P2P information retrieval (search engine) tech space. YaCy seems to be the only on

It would be very useful if this or some other library came with Captcha solvers or a way to add Captcha solvers to the scrapers. Even regular users get Captchas sometimes.

Off the top of my head: Multi-threaded C++ is one. Odin lang has poor support for many debugger features. The Chromium Project can be way too slow to run in a debugger. Even just debugging the Content Shell can be very slow.

I'm getting more into using debuggers lately. They can really help they just take time to learn. As to why they are a last resort. For me it was just having to learn the debugger and also setting up the debugging environment. For every

I like the idea of stashing tabs for later. But doesn't saving to bookmarks remove the History of the tab in the process? That's what I think we need is a way to save the whole session of the tab. Not just the last page. Or maybe

That or they could just open their GPU cores to direct programming instead of locking it behind some API.

As someone not in the software field who finds themself with people imparting wisdom frequently. I find that personally many times it's better to learn by trying even if someone who knows better than you says otherwise. As for those of

I've been thinking about this lately for a SDL project I'm working on. So far there doesn't seem to be any guide to doing accessibility from scratch. My plan is to test with the Orca screen reader from Gnome.

This just make me want to make my own little Arduino device. I bet it would be more fun than buying a thing someone else made that I don't have a real use for.

I happen to really like the UI of Chrome over Firefox. To me the add bookmark dialog is very clunky in Firefox. Also, I prefer in the in-tab bookmark manager of Chrome over the 'Library' Window Firefox opens. Also as far as making

Bummer. I know that WebKitGTK also had problems with playing video on video streaming sites. So hopefully they figure something out with other engines soon. I'm interested in the History at a tree feature. And if they can get their boo
