I find there's a sweet spot for Anki when the daily review of already-existing cards takes 20 minutes. If the daily review takes more than 25 minutes, I try not to add any cards that day.

I haven't looked into this deeply because I don't have severe myopia, but seems plausible to me that this really works for a lot of people.

The legislation that made Bitcoin legal tender in El Salvador does not legislate the use of Strike. Businesses can use whatever system they want, as long as they can accept payment in Bitcoin. Strike is providing a service that allows any business to take Bitcoin lightning payments and have them automatically converted to dollars, for businesses that do not want to hold Bitcoin. It's not fair to just call this a "sql database" because it's connected to an open payment network and the customer can use whatever means they want to pay the business, even if the business decides to just uses Strike.

He claimed that they would "show where he lived," not necessarily publish his address. I don't believe the Times would publish his address, but I do believe they might put enough information in the article to make it easy to figure out.

The world reserve currency can collapse without all of society collapsing to the extent you are suggesting.

If you wallet is using the BIP39 standard you just memorize the 12-word phrase. The words come from the key, not vice versa.

Also, you can get by with just memorizing one phrase, because unlimited addresses are tied sequentially to a single phrase.

"freedom" and "democracy" are two of the twelve "core socialist values" that are plastered almost anywhere you look in China.

I learned Chinese characters using this method and found it very helpful. It's not very popular among Chinese learners or teachers because it's unintuitive. In many cases the keywords of the characters you are learning are imprecise or goofy. But the point of the method is to rapidly form mental chunks at the character level so that later you can focus on a higher level of abstraction.

Yes, but this is considered by many to be scandalous and I doubt it will continue to be so high-priced long-term.

I meant the GameFAQs message boards

- old GameFAQs (before the GameSpot merger)

- Homestar Runner

- YTMND

- Newgrounds

- ieatcrayons.com (a webcomic that 11-year-old me found very amusing)

finally, not a website, but Ragnarok Online was the first MMO I played and the one I have the best memories from

He has a presentation from 6-7 years ago called "Clojure Is New C"

I never watched it because the title annoyed me too much

Sierra adventure games were my favorite single-player games from my childhood. I understand why a lot of people don't like them, e.g. many of the puzzles have nonsensical solutions, it's possible to get stuck because you didn't get an item in an area that you can't return to, etc. And the games haven't really aged well. But for the time they were my favorite.

That isn't a contradiction - the advantages of a REPL are greater for Clojure than for Lisp.
