Seems like a good way to end up on #metoo
One of the funniest board meetings I have ever sat in on was in a recruiting company based heavily in diversity and inclusion. The investor (non-Indian) was listening the Founders (Indian) talk about the advancements we made and showed the talent marketplace (scraped people data).
The investor stopped the CEO and was like, "Why are they all Indian?".
hCaptcha would be an upgrade from Google's data farming.
Not going to lie-- when I seen non-binary RAM I immediately thought, "This whole pronoun thing has gone too far."
Incredibly useful, unless you link to something GitHub doesn’t like.
Following up-- for anyone that wants to try it, if you use a referral link (plenty on Youtube if you look for lingq reviews) you can get like 120 lingqs upon signing up. That's a much better trial.
So far I'm liking it.
Having a Firefox container for "Korean mode" is pretty nice.
Thanks-- I am in a lucky situation where I have no shortage of Korean people to speak with so that's not an issue. I can listen and understand pretty well, but producing Korean feels slow and difficult. It's a plateau I'm trying to overcome and feel like there's no good practice/thing that has helped much.
One recommendation has been to spend more time writing in Korean (like blogging) to better put my thoughts into the language and I guess in theory, means I would become quicker in conversation.
Just tried it out-- it's a neat concept. I wish the "free" version was more giving... I'll have to try more to see if it's something I'd want to pay for. Overall, it seems fairly useful.

from the ask-hn dept.
Context: I am a beginner/intermediate speaker of Korean and I'd like to take things further this year. I have come up with a roadmap and basic study plan for daily study sessions. Are there are tips or routines you have found to help take a new language to the next level?
Dejadup is a decent solution for automatic backups to a remote or local device that is encrypted. Works over ssh.
Anything I have ever written, until I've re-read it.
I use newsboat, a command line client that fetches the feeds and lets you read them. Does it need to be more complicated?
On a separate note, rss feeds that don’t show all content and only preview content are junk and shouldn’t be rss feeds.
I opted for Solr over ES due to the craziness of ES licensing, and other fiascos they have had over the years. Solr seems more "open" and in line with what I believe.
Sure, Solr is rough around the edges but it does virtually the same thing.
I was frustrated with the startup I was working with. The founders didn't agree with my focus/idea for their product, so I made it myself after work.
I have been working on the same product for over 7 years full-time. All of our income comes from it.
I felt like this post was, "SPAs suck, here's a new lightweight SPA."
I lurk, mainly because I have little to add and when I try it's usually downvoted or I'm shadow banned to begin with.
Forever, or at least until the credit cards expire and our hosting/domain payment fails.
