Dialects are overplayed outside of china. Most average people can speak 2-3 just as part of growing up. Learning a new dialect is considerably easier than a Spanish person learning Portuguese or the nordics learning the other languages from

How deep have you gone on a physical activity/sport? I would posit the depth simply isn't there in those vr games. Beat saber and DDR might be ok but the skill / coordination element isn't quite the same as learning vari

I wouldn't write off Joe Rogan so easily. He's actually played his fair share of video games. His personal life story is also quite inspiring as he is clearly someone who has dedicated himself to self improvement. On a personal le

IIRC from the Everything Store there was some conjecture that the Amazon "read the first chapter" feature paved the way to mass digitalization of books. So they were well positioned to launch with decent selection and ramp up fast

Plenty of mainlanders can read fanti FYI. Writing is harder as that requires active memory and practice but fanti is perfectly decipherable for a fluent mandarin speaker. And when in doubt using a dictionary is trivial. If the text is digit

Your post speaks with an all-encompassing reach that remote doesn't work. This probably annoys the people who really swear by remote. Just like how all the people waxing lyrical about remote life annoys you. I disagree with your assert

yes - at those bigger "pizza by the slice" joints anything more than 2 slices for lunch will be driven by pizza-induced greed and I definitely won't get any work done afterwards. At dinner post-work I can maybe put away 4 sli

My understanding is that the infrastructure for Amazon Logistics was added to help scale for the weekend Prime deliveries and Christmas/Black Friday season. But I guess just like AWS was born out of Amazon building internal redundancy

I think the parent is correct to point out two things. That re-frame is useful in bigger teams and it is useful for larger apps. Re-frame is somewhat more complex than inline and vanilla reagent. I suppose with hooks a lot of the simpler us
