idk man ipv4 NAT sounds like the “complicated bloat” to me.

Thanks, will take a look when I have time

No, it’s an edit. I linked the original in the post text. If you can’t access it for some reason, here’s a transcript:

Agreed. Though I wonder if ipv6 will ever displace ipv4 in things like virtual networks (docker, vpn, etc.) where there’s no need for a bigger address space

“Of course it’s end-to-end encrypted! The ends being your device and their server!”

I don’t know shit about fuck, but you explanation seems correct.

I do remember hearing that precisely because of the limitations of vinyl compared to CD, music is mastered differently for each medium. So the CD master of a certain song might be more compressed (dynamic compression, not digital compression) to make it sound “louder”, while the vinyl release has a wider dynamic range. So some people might prefer the vinyl version because it actually does sound different to the CD version.

Keep in mind tho, I might be spreading misinformation here.

Digital music can be taken as easily as it can be given.

Digital does not always mean DRM. You can pry my bandcamp FLACs from my cold dead hands. Physical media nowadays is more about the experience than functionality. Maybe there are snobs who claim that vinyls are somehow functionally superior, but generally the people who use vinyls or CDs or tapes instead of digital are really just looking for that physical experience in a highly digitalized world.

They have sound quality as good as digital

CD quality is actually superior to streaming services like spotify (I personally can’t tell the difference tho).

Man, one day I’m gonna build up the patience to memorize all of these and never buy their products again… not today tho.

Ohhh, makes sense, thank you!

How much can you trust snopes tho? For all we know, they could be in on it. I’m not american, I have never heard of this brand before, but I think the pro-cornucopia people have a more solid point.

I am so confused, what is that website even trying to say!? Is it just a collection of graphs that seem to have some important turning point around 1971? Why choose that year in particular, you could do it for any other year? This seems like a lamer non-automated version of https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

opt in

Unfortunately there is still one thing that you have to opt out of manually, and that is monetized new tab pages. It’s not strictly crypto-related, and it’s only like three clicks to opt-out, but can be slightly annoying if your workflow relies heavily on browser profiles like mine. Still a great browser tho.

I bet you there’s at least one that adds an offset to the user’s address, but, like, a random one every time you load the page, so you could get their address by averaging. And at least one other one that adds a fixed random offset, but does so in the frontend.

Thanks! Ironic that I didn’t include spelling as one of the skills in this meme…

First: Find easier comprehensible input material. The whole point is to learn new words by guessing their meaning based on context. It aint gonna work if you don’t know enough words to even understand the context. So, content meant for natives will be quite far along your journey. Start first with comprehensible input content meant for learners. And if even that is too difficult, go back to studying the words and grammatical structures that your textbook tells you to.

Second: At least in my experience, there’s no easy way around doing a shitton of flashcard/sentence mining. Set aside time in your weekly (preferably daily) routine to just spam the fuck out of Anki / q*izlet / whatever other app you use and commit to it religiously. Practice makes perfect. Don’t slack off and tell yourself that you’re “not motivated”. Force yourself to study even if you don’t want to. Motivation is a finite resource, Discipline is renewable. Soon enough, you will find that it gets easier and easier to stay motivated. That is the essence of discipline. And, as a bonus, discipline is a universal skill: if you get better at motivating yourself in the context of learning a new language, you will also notice improvements in other areas of your life. Many people start learning a foreign language specifically to train their discipline.

Third: Only do n+1 sentence mining. That means, only make flash cards out of sentences that have only one word or construct that you don’t already know. And if most of the sentences you encounter have more than that, it’s a sign that you have to take a step back and learn the basic vocab sets that your textbook gives you before moving on to comprehensible input and sentence mining.

Fourth: As Stephen Covey said, take time to sharpen the saw. That means put some effort into researching different learning techniques that work for you. Otherwise, you’ll just be wasting time on ineffective strategies. The previous advice I gave may not apply to you specifically, so it’s best to do your own research.

Python is so great (half-sarcasm) that a trailing comma on its own constitutes a tuple (immutable list):

mytuple = 4,
assert len(mytuple) == 1
assert mytuple[0] == 4

Typical conversation between a non-programmer and a programmer about AI:

Won’t AI put you out of your job?

It probably won’t

Well, can’t AI write code much faster and more efficiently than humans?

How would it know what code to write?

I guess you would need to provide it with a description of the app that you want it to make?

So you’re telling me that in the future, there will be machines that can generate computer code based entirely on a description of the required functionality?

I guess so?

Those machines are called “compilers”, and “a description of the required functionality” is called “a program”. You’re describing programming.
