I had the same problem when studying English. I just capped my review/new cards study time to 30 mins per day. Basically if you have too much cards to review your vocabulary hits a "plateau" until your workload becomes manageable again.

I don't know how it will pan out in commercial products, but it has been a long time that I've been this excited about hardware, it does feel like real innovation for cooling and especially for mobile devices.

Web components are a bit verbose by themselves but used with a library like lit.js you can build a framework agnostic component library. Angular and Vue support WC out of the box and they have a wrapper for React. I think the only thing missing(or not mature enough right) now is SSR. There are probably libraries other than lit.js that take the pain out of writing WC.

I was skeptical at first but I've seen in production a lit.js/WC component library used with React and Angular successfully in the banking sector and it works surprisingly well.

I know it is just wishful thinking but I hope Microsoft restore legacy warcraft 3 so I can play the original campaigns and not the hot mess they made with reforged.

It would be nice if Framework can share a roadmap for availability outside U.S (I'm from Belgium) for all their products.

I have the same issue, I have big hands and going from a pixel 2 to a pixel 6 has been a nightmare. I can't use the pixel 6 with a single handle.

I went to visit an apartment to rent with a friend. While waiting for the owner my friend was reading the names on the mailbox, and read the "x" out loud said "this person is probably Romanian". I when I was home I had notification if I knew this "x" person. All this time my phone was in my pocket. It is just creepy and I'm going to change my pixel 2 as soon as I can for an Iphone.

I think it reached a certain point where even a pen-name is not enough. The author might write something completely safe(under his own name) and some people will still be able to nitpick and led a crusade against him/her.

You can control what you write but not the mob trying to lynch you.

This. it feels like entering a room, speaking with like-minded people, getting the information you want and walking out. No one asking anything and trying to reel you back in after.

i feel the same, It just build up resentment for these forced ads and preinstalled software. I can't even stand to see Skype and oneDrive icons anymore, I stop what I'm doing at the moment and go to uninstall them.

Not everywhere I assume, my grandfather worked 20 years as a miner in Belgium and his employer left the housing to the city only if they will let the miners stay there for a symbolic some (+-50€). Once the owner died the city immediately tried to change the rent to 500€, but the local miners union fought it and kept the old rent until the union chief died also of old age. There were no one capable of Fighting the legal battle. Basically the city ignored the owner's will to profit from coal miners.

Video games are made by creators and there is an artistic side to it. People get emotionally attached to them and it's hard to remove this positive emotion associated with it, but when developers and editors treat it only as a money machine and disregard everything else it is like breaking up with your s.o. and the love is replaced with an irreversible hatred.

I think Blizzard has definitely lost their special place in most of their hardcore fans. The market has become global but so have the conflicts and whether they like it or not, sometimes they will be forced to pick a side.
