If you were speaking your native language to someone who understands it, but spoke back to you in their native language that you are learning, you can get the same confirmation. I've done this before and it can work quite well. So I&

>Comprehension requires active engagement. I agree, but active engagement does not require speaking or writing. Listening and reading are not necessarily passive. You don't need to know how to write fluently to be able to read flu

Yes, like speaking will not make you better at comprehension, although comprehension is required to have any meaningful conversation. Speaking needs to be practiced, but input and understanding comes first. I'm pretty sure the origina

You haven't really shown how speaking improves your understanding or comprehension of a language. Of course you need to speak to get good at speaking, I don't think that's what the original poster meant. But rather that you

Perhaps we are having some miscommunication here. I don't know if the original poster was making a precise statement when they said "hundreds and hundreds of hours" anyway. >Could you provide a reference to these studies

Massive amounts of listening and reading is practice :)

Compiling bitmap sprites into code like this was pretty common actually.

My 2020 macbook pro had probably my favorite keyboard. The low travel means I could type far faster on it than any other keyboards I've used. My 2019 is almost as good, except it has the issue of keys getting stuck/jammed by smal

It's not that it's hard to grasp, we just think it's irrelevant, since plenty of people also have legitimate uses for this tool, and any other tool that allows them to do the same things is just as capable of downloading copy

You just mentioned another property that interacts with others, how does that remove the "emergent complexity from the interaction of different properties"?

Yeah, a lot of programmers don't care about making things "pretty". I greatly prefer simple, information dense, plain text websites for the most part.

I never got that connotation from the word 'deceive', I thought it just meant misleading someone, not necessarily for your own gain. Furthermore, I grew up christian and was never told all lying was for personal gain.

I understand that it's annoying if someone does this all the time but I don't see how it would be offensive. I'm pretty sure RMS is autistic, and he's known to be obsessed about using words as precisely as possible.

> It’s pretty clear to me that the subtext of his “precision” is to make it clear that one is less bad than the other. Just look at literally every other person on twitter/hn/Reddit who has made the same helpful clarification.

How is it offensive to make sure we are precise in using different words to denote two different things?

Just check if it uses backreferences, otherwise it can be implemented via NFA/DFA.

In most languages you can definitely introduce a bug which causes a program to not halt.

Obviously money again is only representing some value or resource. You have to compensate workers or else they won't do any work (unless you plan on enslaving them, or have the government provide for all their needs).

It's not so much about money, the implication is that making solar panels costs some amount of resources that according to the parent, could possibly be spent in better ways. The money just represents, indirectly, the amount of resour

I didn't mean to imply that freedom of speech necessarily applied to this case, just that if it did, the US government would hopefully (?) respect that.

Kanji are not obfuscation, they are useful mostly because Japanese has many homonyms. Without them, text is far more obfuscated! I'm sure you've read kana only text before.

The 1st amendment simply prohibits the united states government from abridging freedom of speech.
