This reinforces my core belief that people, if given the opportunity, love a good button mashing app.

Idk man, I agree with OP. Writing YAML configs is one of my least favorite things to do. Might be worth polling more people

Whenever working with a new codebase I always try to find the route definitions file first. Something that maps the api interface to the functions they call. I can then reason backwards from any service by clicking into whatever I’m interes

Hrm maybe you're right. I was doing 50 lessons a day, spent thousands of hours on the app. Quit my job even. Maybe I just suck and am a horrible person. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I agree, building the mental map of written characters->translation was certainly difficult early on. Duo is not going to be as good as institutional schooling or immersion but I don't think it has to be to be considered a net posit

My personal experience leads me to disagree. I've been using Duolingo to learn Chinese for about 400 days now. I recently took another step and started taking private zoom lessons and my tutor said a few of her students have come from

Worked for a money center bank. They have strict regulations on what brokerages employees can use in an effort to stop insider trading.

No we should not. We should hunt down those individuals that are responsible but if we get into this tit for tat escalation pattern it might end poorly for all parties involved.

Just to clarify, you measured hummingbirds at 50db? Birds had millions of years to optimize for lower energy consumption which makes me wonder if it could be mechanized. I understand where you're coming from with the plane analogy. I&#

A cursory google search has birds at around 30db and a DJI drone at around 1000x louder at 70db. I think this is something that can be worked on and improved. Also, I'd love to hunt duck one of these days, sounds like a very unique exp

I can see it. Some houses are designed around chimneys. Designing a similar orifice might make sense. The gif presented by the author seems a bit fantastical since you'd release way too much heat/cold air. Just ask anyone who&#x27

Platform makes sense to me, great work putting it together. I notice that you're only charging for basically stripe's transaction fee. Can you provide a bit more color as to your monetization strategy?

Interesting watch thanks. Makes me think it would be good for transparency if all board meetings of publicly traded companies should also be recorded and available online.

The only reason why we have the prosperity that we have today is because inventive people built things that people like you said were not worth the time.

Agreed. In my opinion, great writing has to be within the context of the time. A lot of us speak in a manner similar to how PG writes. You wouldn't consider great writing from 1890 with the same set of rules as you would something writ
