I think there was actually a "darknet" version of altavista that was called Astalavista too. If you were sailing the high seas back then, or looking for the anarchists cookbook, for research purposes.

Logseq is my preferred personal knowledge "second brain" tool, but Obsidian might be better in this use-case, as it follows a folder approach.

Both use markdown files under the hood, and op can use something like syncthing or freefilesync to backup the markdown files to other places.

No, you see it's: "dun-dun-dun-dudu-dun-dun dudu dun-dun-dun-dudu-dun-dun"

not

"dun-dun-dun-dudu-dun-dun, dun-dun-dun-dudu-dun-dun"

This comment cha-ain

Locke (Tom Hardy)?

He bought a campervan, so his wife divorced him, and after getting plastered at a bar, he woke up in the hospital with a small scar on his balls.

Interesting podcast on the topic

I think he meant to say:

We have an expert in this area now.

It's just the one expert. But he's damn good. He's been banging his head all day.

Yep, well put. I love working remotely, but would appreciate once/twice a year having an off-site to get to know some people in the company on a more human level, or so I know who has a dog, so they can send me pics. As you said, during work hours it's hard to get away from the transactional nature of the conversation.

The other thing I'm always worried about, is when grads join the company. A lot are coming from an environment where they've been interacting in person on a daily basis, and now their only interaction is online.

With vape, don't inhale immediately after you've pulled. Instead, pull, let the smoke cool down a bit in your mouth, and then inhale. That usually alleviates the cough.

I don't even think any apps that use the API are allowed to use "Spot" in their name.

It cannot begin with “Spot” or be similar to “Spotify” in sound or spelling.

Is this what chaotic good looks like?

You know, I was very much agreeing to OP, until your comment. You make a convincing point.

I think we can all agree that daylight savings needs to die though.

I think Krashen's "Natural Approach" is the best way to learn. It focuses on consuming comprehensible input (CI) - listening/reading in the foreign language, and making sure you understand around 80%+. The idea would be to start with very easy stories/sentences, and slowly build that up as your vocabulary grows.

Pimsleur & FSI are good resources. Also, try to watch movies/shows that you already have seen in the target language instead (e.g. Friends, The Office, Simpsons). That way, you already have the context, and it will be easier to comprehend.

You need around 100-200hrs of CI to have a basic understanding of the language (maybe you can't speak, but you can understand basic interactions in the language). At around 400-600hrs, you'll be intermediate, and after around 800-1000hrs of CI, you'll be fluent.

I'm guessing they don't want to test on any other browsers, so it's easier just to say that those aren't supported. Most likely it works on others, you just need to spoof the agent.
