For sure I was. And yes, this specific course rather wasn't the most effective one (but probably best at that time). There were multiple problems with this supermemo db: many simple phrases I already knew, but also lot of words you nev

Two things: a. underestimating 'compound interest' (if I may say so) of repetitions from past material you must do in the future. As more and more material is done, there are more repetitions you must do every day, simply because

If you're wondering if it's (supermemo) worth your time, let me share with you my 10 (ten) years supermeme learning conclusions. I got supermemo advanced english course (20k phrases) around 2004 as a present and started it in 2005

I aslo remap caps to ctrl everywhere. For vim, you can map tab to being your new esc. Chances are you are using expandtab option, so actual tab usage is not big (it exists though, left here as an exercise for a reader ) Anyway im moving to

I would add: It allows foreign corporation (uber) not paying taxes in your country to effectively taxate working people with 20% ubertax. Big one: uber tax is proportional to ride while their cost is fixed. Also these days in sankt petersbu

More and more people (myself incl) are not using fb app. Reasons: * all time location tracking * inability to block ads (firefox allows to block ads on android) * making it harder to induce compulsive fb usage (its addictive) * battery usag

Cool. Yes they deliberatly block chrome extension on mobile chrome, as then ublock usage on mobile would explode. Together with myth of mobile ads. Do not evil. Riiiight. As long as it does not hamper our profit.

Wrong. Look at the https://google.com/amp/hackme.com and pictures from article. TL;DR: google amp does redirect, and you can use bit.ly/xxx instead hackme.com in example above.

What actually happened between IE and AAPL is on the verge of extortion and bribery - the only difference is not on personal level but on Gov vs Bus. We should heavily penalise this, as AAPL literally stole money from both US and EU people.
