I think my problem is that I'm not using the system as intended. I learn new vocabulary mainly by reading texts or watching videos in the target language and use spaced repetition to keep track of my progress. If I can't remember

Interesting. I was never really happy with any spaced repetition algorithm, so I recently implemented my own dumb system which simply asks you for the number of days after which the card shall be shown again: https://github.com&#

Yes, you can write Python code that runs with missing or wrong type hints. Not ideal, but you can add a static type checker (mypy) as a step in your CI pipeline and reject commits that fail this step. Not much discipline required.

Seems like a lot of effort went into typesetting this, wow! I can recommend "Calculus: Basic Concepts for High Schools" by the same author (L.V. Tarasov) to anybody unfamiliar with calculus: https://archive.org/det

Just some test feedback: On my phone I have to scroll horizontally to read the text on the website. A part is always cut off. (Same problem on the linked example sites.)

The author gets the whole system backwards. Medicine is the most expensive thing you can study at a German university (~30K € per student per year). That's why the number of slots is very limited. Now the demand is higher than this lim

You sound like the banker in "The Bet" by Chekhov. I hope nobody makes a bet in this thread. :D

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, manipulating the social environment sounds evil and may lead down a dangerous path. I was mainly thinking about what Skinner describes as bringing "the individual under the control of some remote conse

I can't read the whole article because it's behind a paywall. From what I see, it's about the inaccessibility of primary data from mRNA-vaccine trials by Biontech/Pfizer and Moderna. Possibly related English source: htt

It's a charming idea, kind of whimsical. I like that. But the screen really seems too small, even for writing. I recently bought a used ThinkPad X220 for 180€ (typing on it right now). OK, the battery won't last 100 hours, but I&#

I agree. It also seems wildly inefficient to ask every student to read all those originals instead of systematic modern introductions. History is accumulating, so this becomes an impossible task at some point. If the ideas expressed in a te

Actually out of the three cities mentioned, only one (Dresden) is in Thuringia or Saxony, none is in Thuringia. ;)

You are overgeneralizing. The "valley of the clueless" referred to places like Dresden and Greifswald that were not able to receive broadcasts from West Germany and hence were somewhat more closed communities (also for other reaso

I prefer the Python code here. The import is explicit, so if you want to know where "date" comes from, that's easy. In a modern IDE I don't write imports manually anyway. You could write it as a one-liner in Python as we
