i, indeed, had to learn english grammar in order to learn spanish. When they taught us french as kids in school, it was just an exercise in memorization and I had ZERO conception that the various verb tenses actually mapped onto something i

no, i think its almost universal that you can listen better than you can speak. To speak, you sort of need to be able to express a full thought (even if it has mistakes in it), whereas to listen you generally only really need to get the gis

I learned Spanish just by being immersed and not really worrying about anything. I mostly just focused on real, practical vocab. And the verb conjugation came with time. I ignored verb conjugations at first - eg "He eat food." The

His successor is https://languagetransfer.org , which is just a labour of love by a genius polyglot and language teacher. So much so, in fact, that the owners of the Michel Thomas IP tried to sue him for stealing the methodology.

I was reading up on head-carrying the other day. Here's some fantastic articles on the topic, and especially about the use of "tumplines" (strap on top of head with ropes that go around the thing being carried) https:/&

In response to the surge in RAM and NVME costs, and no foreseeable improvement with them, Hetzner increased the setup price on its dedicated servers. Some servers have gone from €39 to 269. They say further increases may be coming, includin

Strongly agree, and it's always getting better. The maintainer is a hero, and there's a few other regular contributors who do great work. They're always super responsive to feedback

Because jj is vastly simpler and more powerful than git, while being compatible with git (so you can keep using Github etc). There's tons of articles and videos on the topic, and many other posts here on HN about it Check out jjui in p

If there was a vscode extension that had half the power of jjui, I'd consider it. But that's not the case. jjui is just amazing.

Quite likely! But the article doesn't say this

Yes, I explicitly said localhost is slower. But the article doesn't say what it's comparing to nor provide any measurements.

Jetstream isn't kafka-compatible, nor does it have pluggable storage of s3, sqlite, Postgres etc...

how does most academia ever get funding?

The article doesnt make it at all clear what it is comparing to - mysql running remotely or on the same server? I'm sure sqlite still has less "latency" than mysql on localhost or unix socket, but surely not meaningfully so.

Cowboy coffee can be excellent . It's almost literally what professional coffee tasters do when they do "cuppings". A French press just adds fine mesh. You don't even need the glass jar - literally a jar or any other ve
