   There's always an NPM package, even for trivial things like

     function fn(val) {
       return typeof val === "number" &&
         isFinite(val) &&
         Math.floor(val) === val;
     };

   I was in the same boat until a couple of months ago.

   Long time vim/neovim user, used fennel to configure it lastly, but I wanted to see what Emacs has to offer to compare.

   I started by reading Mastering Emacs by Mickey Petersen and from there start adding things that I felt I needed (configure key bindings, project.el, eglot, LSP things, helm, corfu, vterm, flycheck, etc)

   I still have things to do, but I'm not in a hurry, I'm quite comfortable with Emacs right now, so will approach them shortly.

   There's also Protesilaos' Stavrou channel on YouTube with a good amount of videos covering Emacs' topics in depth. I highly recommend them.

   (Btw, I still don't know what Vertigo and Consult provide, but I can navigate through files, text search and replacement, functions and all with comfort, so not sure if I'm missing something.)

   Shameless from them to make it look like it's a user problem. It was loading fine for me one hour ago, now I refresh the page and their message states I'm doing too many requests and should chill out (1 request per hour is too many for you?)

   I tried my best to start using Hetzner, but they wouldn't let me.

   I got my account validation rejected despite having everything "in norm" and tried 3 times, they wouldn't give me a reason why it ended up rejected.

   I think it's better that way, I wouldn't like to get the surprise my account was terminated at some point after that.

   Curious, why did you decide to go with your own test helpers rather than using something like check?

   Getting the Nginx default installation message. Not sure why (?).

   Anyway, not sure why paywalled articles are shared in HN if that means people won't be able to read them and engage in further discussions...

   Very talented person, and good speaker as well. I recommend some of his talks as well, perhaps this one closer to the content of the book https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRboMkFdZfg.

    Have you tried Cherry or Squintjs?

    I've just uninstalled the app and deleted the account (sadly, I have some relatives still stuck on a yearly subscription) after having used Duolingo for years (almost 2000 days streak) and finished multiple languages (English, German, Polish, Esperanto).

    Duolingo was quite an innovative platform years ago, it really led me to keep learning, but now all that's gone. I managed to save every single sentence in the last language I was learning, which I can now import into Anki, so the ad bloat won't be a problem anymore.

    They can push their greediness far and beyond, until the extent they find suitable, I won't be part of that.

    Your comment is out of context, but to add to the case, yes that's how you do it. You don't need to be a lawyer to know this, you can consult one.

    > CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.

    But at the end the problem is a missing header somewhere else. A pretty common thing in their Discord #build-problems channel.

    > But why run it in a VM?

    Because you don't execute untrusted code in your machine without containerization/virtualization. Don't you?

18. krowek Jan 21, 2025 parent

    I think pretty much the same, to the point where I've committed to save every sentence seen in Duolingo to make then my own Anki deck. I wouldn't bother going back again to Duolingo if I already finished the tree and there are no new units for me.

    He's also deleted some of his videos because they had mentions to brands or companies with wrong practices (yes, plain wrong).

    Also has very good books. So, totally not the average youtuber/content creator out there.

    algorithmica.org; only if you can read Russian, as the English version is WIP and the main version they work on is the Russian one.

    > Since they provide player movement data, you can train a transformer to predict which player will win the BR given movement patterns.

    You didn't consider the main factor for CoD - cheating. Which clearly seems to be an inside thing.

    Not sure if anything meaningful can be obtained by analyzing anything that has player data on it considering every video game out there is prone to this.

    I found this yesterday, as I exceeded the 1GB monthly free traffic of ngrok. I use it only for testing some bookmarklet in development for work, so I won't pay for that, unless my employer does (which doesn't). So tunnelmole works pretty well.

    Tried zrok.io but couldn't figure out what to do, wanted the easiest route.

    > That's great, but kind of obvious that if you build out dedicated bike lanes, cyclists are more likely to prefer them to alternate routes.

    Not really, here in Poland there are new bike lanes, but they go far from the city, so if you need to commute you end up going around the city to finish in a bottleneck when you are approaching the center. So, want it or not, you end up using the alternate routes.

    The part when he suggests removing comments in HN is hilarious. Like accepting his rotten behavior as the norm everywhere.

    Wouldn't sheltering and gathering dogs which aren't neutered in the same space an occasion for them to reproduce themselves and increase in number?

    "You can create dog parks/sanctuaries and collect leftover food from people and restaurants", is this in practice somewhere?

    I ask not to sound annoying or pedantic, just from the deepest curiosity. Animals' care has been always a problem I want to help with, so I'm open to any ideas.

28. krowek Nov 8, 2023 parent

    Not every place on Earth has the same weather through the year as those countries you mention. Dogs aren't really animals born to live in the wild, if a dog has to go through really extreme temperatures, has no food or water, isn't that pain and suffering as well?

    This is a very good question because it touches many grounds. What's the humanist position on this? What's the (many) religion's position on this? And I'd also say, economically speaking, what's more viable? To euthanize them or to sterilize them?

    I'm totally biased in that euthanizing animals isn't a decision humans are meant to take unless you do have a responsibility for the animal (it's your pet, and it's ill, for instance). But in this specific case, no single human or humans have a direct responsibility for hundreds or thousands of dogs.

    The proposition on euthanizing stray animals looks just like a temporal, quick and dirty solution that teaches nothing to humans more than hiding the dirty under the carpet. Nothing after this will prevent stray animals to grow in number after some are reintroduced.

    Moreover, it isn't surprising that such points of view like yours are shared as of today, if we stop to think how all those animals ended sick, malnourished, and unprotected. There are people that still think that animals shouldn't be sterilized because of their "will" to reproduce themselves, or are just too lazy to do so.
