   I like the LearnXinYminutes series to get the hang of a new language. It's sussinct and usually covers the main aspects of the language -- at least sufficient for you to decide if it's interesting enough to spend more time on...

   Same here in India. Phones are not allowed in class, period. Kids/parents are strongly urged not to send phones, and if it's absolutely required, it's collected in the morning and returned after school.

   Just use Aegis on mobile - it allows import/export. And add the TOTPs to a gpg encrypted pass vault on desktop/laptop.

    I think I enabled this with a SIM in another phone and entered the SMS based OTP, but I can't be sure. In any case, right now I only have one SIM in the device, and the dual app continues to work without a problem. Yes, it's Andro

    In my phone I can go to Settings->Apps->Dual Apps and enable WhatsApp. This creates a clone of the app, which can be registered with a second number. When you open WhattsApp you can select which of the two you want to open. Have been

    These studies seem to consistently play down the importance of "culture." By that, I mean that some families tend to place very great importance on education and learning (and consequently prioritize it above other activities), an

    I just realized how much energy efficiency is being squeezed out of a Tesla. It's incredible. A normal diesel fueled sedan such as the Chevy Cruze diesel runs at about 31mpg, which is 13.2 km/l or 15.3 km/kg. Diesel has a min

    I think $90 is too little value for an old laptop compared to the value you can get out of it. I use my 2010 macbook pro as a home server and it has served very well - as long as you get rid of the os and install linux on it. I use it to ru

    Yes, I have, intensively for 5 years or so. Apart from gestures (which I don't use), I find the trackpad performance just fine.

    Gestures are not there on Linux, but in terms of mouse movement and scrolling I don't see a difference!

    The best thing about curl is that developer tools of browsers (firefox for example) have a convenient "Copy as curl" feature that mimics the web request. The reason there isn't a "Copy as wget" option, I think, is t
