Duolingo has a tenth of a Latin course. Source: I did the whole thing before I learned Latin from a different course. Duolingo's is unfinished.

They are extremely low (at least by the standard of Software Engineers based in the US)

That's not how it works at my company. Trading is only blocked around 3 weeks each quarter.

It kinda of confuses me when use the term "nation state" instead of just "state". For example Canada is not a nation-state but surely they are powerful and important enough that th…

The argument is that if tricks like this were to become widespread, they may start requiring certified medical documentation (or other hurdles) for said faster treatment, making li…

If you add a few cents of spices a day, I would argue it's not even too boring af and can even arguably be fairly tasty!

> decent enough for most people and uses. Except for the very big use case of mobile browsing, where only Firefox allows extensions.

As someone that uses Firefox as my main browser on desktop and mobile, I am curious here - what exactly are the complaints with Firefox? I'm using 3+ year old hardware that was mid…

It would be nice to be able to select / deselect folders in the file selector. note: I'm not a junior dev and the repo I'm trying to analyze is more of a side project than a portfo…

Very good point that I never considered! Thanks.

I am asking out of curiosity and nothing else: what use cases do you have that motivate you to get a new phone every year? Do iPhones get notably better with every release? I'm gue…

I'm having trouble following what exactly this means. So Jeff wanted the team to modify an existing publication to fit the PR spin on AI, the ethics team refused, and Jeff dissolve…

I'm not a Rust evangelist, but I'm glad that Rust evangelists exist. I decided to try it for a medium-sized (~10k LoC) performance sensitive component recently and it has been an a…

Very exciting to see the progress here! Is there a way to understand how many of the Web Platform Tests are for features that are "stable" (say for X years) across all major browse…

It's not making an excuse on the part of Google, it's pointing out the naivety of expecting otherwise from Google. Firefox still allows uBlock origin, and even on mobile.

Wow, I had no idea JavaScript has labeled break! Thanks for the comment.

> I don’t see why regular specs (e.g. markdown files) could not serve the same purpose. I think because they're doomed to become outdated without something actually enforcing the s…

Is being faster than Python considered to be a notable feature?
