   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.

   One of the major sources of funding was cut because they sided with the devil...

   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.

    Still unable to install it in MacOS arm64. As many other people have said, we'll go back to it on 2026.

    How would that be?

    Easy champ. This is not X.

    > 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

    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.
