The UI looks so clean and minimal! I love it. If devs are monitoring this sub, could you please provide the minimal self-host instructions? I was reading through https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/blob/main/docs/nextjs... and https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/blob/main/apps/web/.e...

Do I really need all these API keys for s3, sentry, push service, ngrok, etc to run a web app on a home network?

> when younger

this may be the key. When I was younger, I don't remember getting tired much no matter what I was doing, programming, studying, gardening.

second that! rclone is an amazing piece of software! With a few simple bash scripts and rclone, my google drive serves code snippets (albeit without code highlighting) and screenshots! there are also armhf and aarch64 builds of rclone!

thanks!

Do I have to brush up on inorganic and orgranic chemistry in order to get the most out of this book?

> There is no such thing as "asshole-y thing" to use English because each communication setting is different

Exactly because each communication setting is different, in a number of them, switching to English unconditionally, which is what the parent was suggesting, is indeed an "asshole-y" thing to do.

> Sometime the most important thing is to be understood quickly

Isn't this exactly what I said, "Unless it's a literal matter of life and death to understand what the other person is saying without too much of a delay?"

> Deciding which language to use with which person is a taxing effort in itself, especially in a group setting

In a group -- yes. Else, you just sound lazy at best and like a person who doesn't give a duck at worst.

> On the other hand, if the goal is to build some emotional rapport, trying harder in the other person's native language is worth doing.

The goal is to just be a decent human-being who is at least sometimes considerate of others' wants.

I agree with pretty much everything what you've said here!

> I much prefer to try to get us to speak in our own languages, even if it requires effort.

Also, when it does work, we'd get to experience the glimpse of the sense of some shared heritage (e.g. cultural, historical, etc) and at the same time we'd feel good about the uniqueness and differences of our own languages/cultures.

> Otherwise, I prefer to speak Russian if the person I'm communicating with knows it too.

If someone spoke Russian to me, I'd be a) very flattered and b) try accommodating them with their effort as much as possible.

> I’d immediately try English.

Unless it's a literal matter of life and death to understand what the other person is saying without too much of a delay, it's a pretty asshole-y thing to do:

a) The other person will "immediately" know that you think that their Russian is not up to snuff. b) They'll know their well intended effort isn't appreciated.

My two cents, I skimmed through a few texts and I can understand 60-70% of what I've read. I'm a native Russian speaker, btw. However, I'd say I'd be skeptical about this whole idea, since I'd still need to invest considerable effort to learn the rest. Instead, I'd rather learn English, even though it's even more effort, still, a cost-benefit ratio seems to be much better in my particular case, as English will pretty much let me communicate with 1.5B people, which probably includes most Poles anyway.

If you live and work in the US, the substantial part of your taxes is spent on invading other countries, killing innocent people and propping up dictators.

> how do you approach that morally? I really want to know the opinion of someone actually working there.

Most of us seem to embrace our "weird-sounding English" sooner or later. The truth is that Americans don't care much about our accents, it's our own insecurities speaking. Occasionally you might meet someone who does, but then you wouldn't want to work for them anyways since they'll find a reason to be a bigoted piece of shit to you whether you have an accent or not.

The future is asymmetrical

It depends. If you are comparing it to the one that nearly wiped out the native population on two continents and plundered two more, even the occupation of Korea and China by Japan suddenly starts looking rather attractive, which is a very scary thought, btw

My work laptop is a mbp 2018 (i9, 32GB). The battery life is abysmal. I typically get a little bit over 2 hours. I'm not going to lie though: I'm always running Atom or VSCode and there's lots of opened tabs in Chrome.

I was actually born in KZ and I can't remember even a single time a CBP officer would give me a hard time because of that. Unless you are from one of Eastern European countries meaning you probably have relatives living in KZ or friends, I can see why a tourist visa for KZ has piqued his interest: it's fairly unusual.

I think this is a very common misconception. DHS and USCIS aren't idiots; they can tell there's a world of difference between a former Soviet republic(e.g. KZ,KG,UZ,etc) and other -stan countries. Also, the US maintains the fairly extensive diplomatic staff in those states. Lastly, if you were to apply for a Green Card, while holding an H1-B, you would get it years before an Indian or Chinese national due to the quota system. I would imagine it should be also easier for people like you to get the Green Card through the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.

Why would they need to know if a device was unrooted? What does this app do aside from showing you ads and you friends' pictures?

These immediately come to mind. I'm sure there's more if I dig deeper.

  * Theano -> TF
  * The multitude of RSS readers -> Google Reader
  * Severely undermined Firefox
  * Usenet newsgroups -> Google Groups

Agreed. I just wish it wasn't Google. They "extinguished" a lot of good projects...

Would people stop killing each other if the guns were taken away from them? Of course, not. However, gun control laws would make such an "endeavour" much more difficult and less likely to succeed as means is one of the key ingredients to any successful crime including a violent one. The guns create more problems than they solve, IMO. There are much easier ways to fend off a mugger or home intruder. In the vast majority of situations there's usually a better solution than using lethal force.

Dumb misinformed questions like this might have something to do w/ that.

You are actually asserting a falsehood in your question.

> Go actually has Yacc as a built in tool (although know Lex).

Interesting. Did they combine both a lexer and a parser into one tool?

lex,flex, and re2c are typically standalone tools (lexers) that tokenize input, whereas yacc and bison are parsers that parse those tokens into ASTs (usually).
