Showing my age here, heh: 1. Early Ruby on Rails -- Now that MVC/ORM packges are the norm, it's hard to describe how revolutionary the original '15 minute blog' video was. It really felt like a quantum leap for CRUD apps

Yeah, I've finished Arabic and I'm on the fence if I'd do it again, Arabic just doesn't work that well in their model. I came into it already knowing how to read and write, and just wanting vocab, grammar, and typing pra

I didn't mean to criticize Duolingo for not being a silver bullet, but they definitely do market it as one. They literally say right on their homepage that using it for 34 hours is equal to a semester of university language class. When

Duolingo is a lousy way to learn a language, but it's great for vocabulary practice. It also teaches typing on a phone keyboard, which is a great skill for languages that use a non-latin charset. Having these handy might help with some

Then you've created an extreme incentive for grade inflation, since professors know an A- could lead to a promising student getting kicked out over finances.

Nowadays they have a number of normal weight models. My 2019 darter weights 1.6kg, and it looks like the new lemur/galago are 1.1 and 1.41kg respectively. Not ultralight but fairly average.

I know this was in response to the riots, but there's also a global pandemic on, and even before this the government specifically asked that people do not come to visit for the inauguration. Frankly I wish they'd have done this mo

Are there really safes in existence that would survive the fire that melted the building's steel infrastructure and the building collapse?

“Stability, not guidance” — its sort of like “tax avoidance, not tax evasion”. I’m not sure what the defined red lines are in the US, but most people building rockets big enough for the feds to worry about are following the model rocketry c

I'm one of these people, it's super frustrating. Because of where our building sits we can't even do fixed wireless, so despite living in a major US city my options are pay comcast or get 1mbps (!) dsl.

You're not the only one. Especially because the last generation sculpt mouse was mechanically junk (i'm on my third one in 2 years...) but in a great form factor.

For non-US readers or those not used the federal political process, the president doesn't set the budget, congress does. These proposals are policy pieces to play to the base, and rarely have much that ends up in the actual budget.

In a previous house I rented, we swapped the furnace filter for a much finer one (from 8 to 13 on whatever scale they market these things in), and it made the HVAC system run noticeably worse. Lower airflow, noisier, etc. It seemed to me th

I think this is right in the sense of "a project for an individual to make a local difference". A lot of people have gone down this road trying to build major projects, especially 8-10 years ago when hyperlocal was the next big th
