Unfortunately, I haven't come across much. However, a good option, which is similar in principle, is Lingq ( https://www.lingq.com/en/ ). The designer of it has recently become interested in comprehensible input and

The approach that has seemed most effective for me (for Dutch and Spanish), and I can also rationalize it from my logical side, is "comprehensible input" method. The idea is that you're learning like a kid, but in a more focu

Pattern 12 was something I learned early (fortunately) in my software development journey. I think the article I was reading was something to do with how to properly partition your disk (it was about 15 years ago, so fuzzy details, but I re

I always liked the concept behind BitShares, but I never hear much about it. Conceptually, it seems like it targets the third-party concern. Anyway, the idea of BitShares is (was?) to ensure stability of their crypto currency through future

Did anyone else notice the recent Evernote update in Mac's App Store have a lot of suspicious positive reviews? Most of them were by accounts that had only submitted that one review. When you compare it to the reviews of their past upd

I completely agree on the technical observation. My trade is definitely computer science first, but every once in a while, I get in an artsy mood: https://picasaweb.google.com/samuel.jennings/Art . My philosophy with ar

I think Brian dated my sister back at Rice.. haha. So strange to stumble upon him here. Anyway, impressive startup resume. I'm familiar with a lot of his projects, but never connected the dots. Too bad my comment contributes nothing to the

I'm software developer working as a tech consultant at Accenture. But I'm also an artist: http://picasaweb.google.com/samuel.jennings/Art . I think art and math are entirely connected. You combine enough logical statements together, you pr

If you always repeat the same steps, why can't you abstract them into a single method that takes name and text as arguments. You shouldn't ever have to repeat the same set of steps in multiple locations.

He uses emacs because he likes the benefit of slime when he's programming with Clojure. But he's not opposed to using vim once a vim Clojure environment becomes more mature.

This is financial, but good move on my part. I invested in Apple the day before the release of the first iPhone ($120 a share). I then recently used some of it to buy a car way out of my league ($270 a share).

A few years ago, I signed a contract with an awful web startup. At the time, I was laughing on the inside because I thought it was funny how much they (two brothers) wanted to pretend they were a legitimate company. One brother was the "CEO

That is not always the case. When I have to present programming technical designs to a room of clients and upper management, I know that it matters. I completely know that it matters. But I research to the point I'm convinced I know more th

More confidence? I guess it not so simple since you're interpreting it in a different way than I am.

by shughes 16y ago
If you're overly confident, assume you're just average. If you lack confidence, assume you're better than everyone else. I think it's a matter of knowing where you stand in the range of low to high confidence, and then trying to balance it

Ask HN: I'm going on my first date with a real girl. But my only formal attire is a Red Voyager Star Trek uniform. Should I spend money on formal clothing, or will my Star Trek uni be reasonable?

Dear Apple, Congratulations on doing well over the past few years while still maintaining an air of marketing discipline. You could make more money by taking the high volume, low quality route, or the cheaper JIT route. But instead, you con

Really, why was I down voted? I'm not sure what was wrong with the comment. I think anyone would agree with the idea of tort reform, just like anyone would agree with the idea of health care reform. But even if you don't, I thought that wit

I think we should show a chart of each country's health care costs relative to how much their lawyers make on health care related malpractice cases. Because in America, it's out of control, and probably the largest reason health care costs

This only affects paper cash though, right? So assuming they have most of their value in a bank, savings, stock, physical assets, or whatever it is they do in "DPRK," then they should be sort of okay. But I have nooo idea how the banking th

The only thing that kind of bothered me was that Bitbucket focused too much on blaming Amazon. Here's a sports example. Let's say a team loses because the left tackle messes up and the quarterback gets sacked. After the game, during a press
