I used https://learn.mangolanguages.com/ to get to something like ~b1/b2 in French after a year. I did a lesson or two every day, and did all of the review, pretty much much every day. I spent 8 years in jr high - coll

I did full CS / Software Engineering curriculum. There was a lot that I taught myself because I was curious / passionate. I learned a lot about things not covered in classes. But the classes also taught the boring details of thi

They're different beasts. JPEGS are great for photographs, where lossy compression is acceptable. PNGs can have transparency and lossless compression, so they're great for things like rasterized vector graphics, UI-element parts o

I think this makes sense for applications applications that are just managing data maybe? But if your application needs to do things when you change that data (like call to a third party system)... Syncing is maybe not the solution. What

Sure in an ideal world we don't need to worry about resources and everything is easy. There are very good reason why they are separated now. There have been systems like 4th dimension and K that combine them for decades. They'r

In very simple systems that makes sense. But as soon as your validation requires talking to a third party, or you have side effects like sending emails you have to suddenly move all that logic back out. You end up with system that isn&#x27

I've definitely worked in places where "Move fast and break things" tended to focus on breaking things. There would be bugs that we didn't fix because "We can just fix the database when it happens." It would

That may be true, but this isn't exactly a new drug overall. It has been available as a diabetes treatment since about 2005. So we should have some longer-term data on the topic.

The article is from thehollywoodreporter, so it is expected to not go into great detail. There is real research around these lines and links between Alzheimers and insulin resistance. I'm not in the field to really be able to vet, but

Test results are already reported from testing equipment a value and expected range (to account for a specific machine/reagant's calibration). Notifying when out of range hardly seems like a AI, but it certainly might be marketed

How much do we know? Probably not as much as we might think we know. Could it be caused by vaccinations? Probably not. There seem to be plenty of unvaccinated people with long covid. The politicization of things might make it hard to stu

I ran a blogging SaaS platform for a while. I had some instructions for configuring a reverse proxy to serve the blog. There were instructions for most major web servers. One step was adding a custom header. - Go to <link> and get

I worked on a SaaS CMS. A major consumer PC manufacturer was a customer and their "Welcome to your PC" app would pull their news feed from our system. People would turn on their PC and they'd pull a little JSON. 100s of Tho

I worked for a Company that was a vendor for Lenovo. They had some sort of "News about Lenovo" app on all of their commercial grade machines. The content and translations were managed in our system and each computer would pull do

I agree on python libraries. There are probably contextual/philosophical reasons why the dependency management works the way it does, but I also don't use it a ton so its not obvious to me. RubyGems with Bundler and Node with NPM

It could be that those ads created some sort of brand awareness and that the downside might not be realized for quite some time. I'm not saying that that is the case here, but it could be another interesting thing to investigate, al

I had a similar problem. Where we were supposed to do some sort of optimization (loop unrolling or something) to a function. We had done this several times throughout the course. But this time loop was slightly different (unintentionall

Right the 20% hesitant in that be in the "waiting to see more data how safe it is camp." Or it could be on the "I don't trust the government camp." It would be interesting to see that breakdown.

Almost all of the statements were true. They just needed more context with them. > "Masks aren't effective" The point of the (non n-95) masks is not to protect the wearer. They didn't want everybody to cause a run o

That is pretty hard to interpret still. It could be that people with "some college" respond with oh 100% I'm getting it or 0% I"m not getting it. Where as somebody with a PHD is like yeah. I have concerns so I'm
