Wow!. Nice to meet you.

The quote by Hokusai is beautiful.

Algorithms books and material by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne is 40 year effort too.

Computer Networks, Operating Systems, Distributed Systems from Andrew Tanenbaum, same.


Yes, I agree with you. He is both real and it is depressing as the state of world is. I sometimes have take solace in utopian fiction like Kim Stanley Robinson's have my spirits high and have a positive look out. It is just me.

Just remove the open collective link. Point to your homepage where the motivated donors will certainly pay. You already should know how many of the motivated users actually care about donations. The goal of this story and publishing it in HN seems to catch more eyeballs and marketing of Ankidroid, under new leadership. All I am suggesting is, just play along with Google. No harm here.

I am sorry, if I am wrong. Happy to be wrong too.

Ugly and wrong. I am sorry.


AnkiDroid is still independent and is not managed by a new leadership like the computer app, if that's what you're suggesting.

Oh I see. I mistook it then. Sorry, my bad.

TIL that Humans have been around for more than 40,000 years! I thought we started around 1000s of BC.

A 67,800-year-old hand stencil was discovered in a limestone cave on Muna Island in Sulawesi, Indonesia

The Madjedbebe rock shelter in the Australian Northern Territory show that people lived in Australia at least 65,000 years ago where stone tools, ground ochre for paint, and food remains were found.


I was curious so I looked around a little bit

Apparently the oldest stone tools found that can be attributed to hominids, are around 3 million years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldowan.

When only counting Homo sapiens, they have found tools that are around 315.000 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jebel_Irhoud.

And that's just what we have actually found :)


Also, while we don't have made statues that old, we do have manuports from 2-3 million years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuport

Manuports are natural rocks in "funny" shapes, like faces or falluses, which are found back (far) out of place and often in the neighbourhood of other human remnants.


The Neanderthals were still around, until a few tens of thousands of years ago. We lived in the same time and place as them, and occasionally had kids together.

More than 300,000 years.

There are stone tools half a million years old. Who do you think made them?

Oh no, sir, you are definitely right and these infidels and their heretical ways will soon learn the wrath of the one true God.

Which is Zeus.


This is excellent! I wanted this. I had noticed that Kindle had limited feature like this for certain books that support audiobooks. I had tried this style of reading with audiobook and ebook without a any automated sync, but hadn't pursued it. This looks cool. :)

Thanks! We're improving it all the time — we're working on big new releases ("v3") for the web app and mobile apps. There's a Discord server linked in the docs if you ever need any help out want to chat!

In Kindle you must pay for the ebook and audiobook to make it work

> 50 uses of <>, a way of writing "not equal" so old that many working Python developers have never seen it.

This hit me. Not sure when this was used and was deprecated.


I didn't realise using <> made me old-school, time for a find-and-replace in my PHP codebase!

I still think it's superior to '!='.

Strange. The picture of the jeep looks similar to the Omarchy Quatro Desktop wallpaper. Is there a connection? How come both look so similar?



> Are there any current writers or public figures that have taken up the human-loving atheism of my youth?

Many. Kim Stanley Robinson for instance.


> positive policy decision for both sides.

Actually not. Harmful for US. US gains for more from the skilled immigrants (at their cost).


So the US is being very selfless here and deciding that all these "exceptional" migrants should instead improve their own country. Pretty noble of the US if you ask me.


Yeah, but unintentionally. I think, you were being sarcastic with your comment. I am okay with it, since we both arrive at the same outcome.


I don't really gain much when we bring people over here to write shitty java spring end points or react components, these are things Americans can do. Also the idea that the trillion dollar tech companies can't find talent should be rejected on its face. If they can't find talent they should train it here. They're about to find out why and it's going to go in places where they least suspect it.
