Recently found this video https://youtu.be/bzRxSVK7qIU where Sanskrit was being compared to Lithuanian. To think, that such geographically distant languages are so similar, as Lithuanian is one of the most well preserved languages in Europe. To get a grasp of what PIE sounded, the closest you can get in Europe is by listening to Lithuanian (especially the older dialects of it)

They implemented it using float and etc. My nostalgia tears are dropping

Haven't you noticed how search results quality has changed let us say from 2007-2013 and comparing recent time period? I used to get the best information, websites, media material that I was looking from the rarest sources on the web, even probably rare to find given my geo location. Today I usually get information not by the quality, but from "the biggest brands" on the web. I was surprised that I didn't find one specific forum in over 20 search pages, but then I had checked my bookmarks and the site was still running and functional and contained what I was exactly looking by the keywords and other possible search factors. These days I just feel I get the information sources that are the most advertised or well branded, but do not reflect the accuracy of what I'm looking for.

Well, I've enjoyed these games as for fun, but they did provide an intellectual challenge: TIS-100 https://store.steampowered.com/app/370360/TIS100/ SHENZEN I/O https://store.steampowered.com/app/504210/SHENZHEN_IO/ Hacknet https://store.steampowered.com/app/365450/Hacknet/ Uplink https://store.steampowered.com/app/1510/Uplink/

As for becoming a better programmer, it's all about practice. CodeWars might be what you're looking for: https://www.codewars.com/

15W is basically 5V * 3A, there's plenty of PSUs that offer that and more, even some of the phone chargers. My 30K mAh powerbank offers a 6A output, so there shouldn't be any problems with running RPi on batts.

My Pentium 4 CPU fan is still blowing better than any of these JS frameworks will ever will.

In another thread related to SO, many high ranked users said they feel demotivated, when other high ranked users comment their answer saying they shouldn't answer this question and so on. They never log in again or answer questions in fear of facing same situation again. You answered someone, some jerk didn't like it, so what? My comment got downvoted on HN, so what? Should I be afraid of commenting again, feel oppressed? No, do what you do, correct someone if you think they're making a mistake, be bold sometimes if needed. Post a link to some self help blog or "how to make friends" next time when some elitist or some hostile jerk dislikes your SO answers instead of feeling bad about toxicity. I think Bill Burr stand ups have some good highlights about the over sensitivity in society in general.

I think one of the reasons for the hostility is that people don't give a f#*@ to write proper questions, they don't even bother to RTFM. Grammar issues, no error logs, no links or snippets of code... I think the over sensitivity trend also adds up to this "problem".

Is it just me or does the new Gmail UI feel sluggish/unresponsive? Scrolling the mail list is lagging a bit, the left side menu takes time to initiate the appear animation and the animation itself is too fast. When hovering the mouse over mail list, the interaction icons do the lagging effect, which is really not nice for eyes.

However the right side menu for Tasks, Calendar and etc. is nice, I like having them in one place instead of keeping multiple diff tabs open.

I'm not sure if this lag effect is intentional or a performance problem, maybe React instead of Angular could help :D

.NET Standard is a standard like JDK version, which can be JDK 8, JDK 9 and so on... .NET Core is an implementation like OpenJDK, Oracle JDK If you write something for JDK 8 standard, like using the Java Time API, you expect it to work with either Oracle JDK 9 or OpenJDK 9 In .NET, the standard version, means that up to specific version of .NET Framework or .NET Core or any other implementation like Mono can execute the software. I don't see any real fragmentation here, one is solely for people that are ok with Windows and the other one is meant for people that are not okay with Windows (ofc the .NET Core is meant for more than just this). The same with Java, OracleJDK is meant for people that are ok with Oracle and OpenJDK for people that are not okay with Oracle. What fragmentation? There are but a few implementations and each of them have a clear use cases. It's not like choosing a JavaScript framework or a tool, now that ecosystem is a true fragmentation... And who knows, maybe with some time, the .NET Core will evolve to the point, where it will be the only .NET implementation
