I have not laughed this hard in front of my computer in a long time. What a gem. (as a non-developer also, this experience really hit home)

The privatization of water supply is featured prominently in Adam Curtis's new series "Shifty," and paints a similar picture. Profit > infrastructure is ruining so much...

Re:Anki – Powerful, intelligent flash cards on Monday January 29, 2024 @06:34PM (#39184267)
Sorry for the late response but I have a question regarding this that I hope you can answer.

I'm also a long time anki user for the purpose of learning a foreign language. It is one of the core tools that got me to the level that I am today. I like it so much that I am also using it with my son. I'm using it for spellings mostly. But (and here comes the question) I'm also contemplating making him another deck for the foreign language that I'm studying, however, I'm wondering whether to have separate decks or just one big deck of cards. What do you do with your son? Different decks for different topics or just lump them all together in the same singular deck?

Any advice would be most welcome.

Such an important topic. Thanks for reminding me.

It really is the superior product/project. I switched to Zotero from Mendeley this year. The thing that was keeping me back before was the lack of internal PDF reader and annotator. I'm not sure when that came into Zotero, but now it is... /chefkiss

I will pass this valuable information onto my friend who I think will benefit from it greatly.

never thought to keep doing puzzles until the green bar is fully green. Nice idea!
