Anki works great for me. I bought some kanji books and added Anki collections made from those books.

Using the book for studying and Anki for reviewing really boosted how much I retained what I learnt, without the hassle of creating cards myself (I’m just lazy)

I mean yes, it’s a way to solve playing offline videos, but it doesn’t seem to stop there. I found that codecs for playing videos on Firefox are also missing

I could install Chrome as well or hack my way, but it makes me want to recommend the distro to beginners even less

I just installed fedora a couple of days ago and this happens to me too…

I guess I’ll try a different distro 🤷‍♂️ it was being a nice experience until I tried to play a video

I liked your comment myself, but I wished period was more normalized and not seeing as something “disgusting” or “embarrassing”

Yeah, for this reason null shouldn’t be part of any production code. If there’s the possibility of having a null value, you need to check every variable or returned value to be safe.

These monads tell the consumer of your functions to do something (a check for emptiness or wait for it to be ready, or iterate it) to access the value inside. In a safe language, if the value is not wrapped by a monad, then you should expect to access it without issues.

I kind of get why people don’t want to call them monads, since it sounds like a heavy term and more things to learn that are not strictly “necessary”, but the earlier you learn about their importance, the earlier you can use any of their benefits in your codebase.

I agree with you. I got a surface go for some time because I wanted to travel with a mini computer that could do some coding with my preferred IDE, document editing, web browsing and a couple other tasks like a computer, even if it was slower.

At the same time it being a tablet was also very useful to watch movies in other rooms!

I used the stylus only because I was curious, but didn’t used it more than a couple of weeks

Very interesting!

A bit related to that, I heard that you are restricted on what kanjis to use for names but not on how they would be read. So a person could be named 空 and have the reading be スカイ(sky)

Not for chrome, but there are forks that have adblocking capabilities.

Kiwi is a browser that lets you install extensions, so you can install an ad blocker

Or Brave, that includes it as a browser feature. But Brave has had many weird features and taken many weird decisions, so people recommend just moving to Firefox

I am using Firefox as well and I don’t think I’d go back to Chrome, but I wish it supported progressive web apps a bit better!
