I’m not saying you should learn a second language, I just wanted to give tips for those wanting to do it. As the previous poster asked how he could keep that language alive, I was just answering to that. A bit surprised at the reaction to mere tips given to learn a language.

Once I learn that language, how do I maintain it?

The way non-English speakers do it: watch content on the internet in that language, listen to podcasts or simply read things written on that language.

The internet it’s a great tool to learn and practice any language if you want to, in the same way that it’s a great way to learn English for the rest of us.

Edit: to be clear, I’m not saying people should learn a second language, I just want to provide tips for those wanting to do it. It saddens me to see such a negative attitude towards learning a second language…

That was the “hard disk” XD

You know, with so many frameworks with the weirdest names, I honestly don’t know if people are just joking or not…
“Yeah! just use turtle and chubby” “Oh! I prefer tuktuk and lollipop”
Funny bit: I totally made those up, then went to GitHub, and found out there are real projects called like that. Lol!

This is the answer for non-developer people (most people out there, actually).

Use the code to build a time machine, go back to the 1960s and learn to program using only text… /s

Now, seriously: normally, if it’s an app, look for the “Releses” on the right. If there’s a binary (compiled app) to download, it will be there. If the developers are cool, they’ll include a download link directly on the Read Me file you see when you arrive at the repository.

No, it’s not. That means those who are born after 2050 are guaranteed to witness a catastrophic climatic event in their lifetime… Those could well be my grandchildren (if they’re ever born). I’m already suggesting my son not to have kids in the future, if things don’t radically change.

Tipping point of the AMOC: 2025 to 2095 with 95% confidence levels.

The blue led was released in 1993. I remember reading an article in Wired magazine (back when magazines were published on paper) about the invention. Gladly, the article is still available online: https://www.wired.com/1995/03/blue-laser/

I talked with some friends about the “true boo-roo” led, and the phrase stuck with us (that’s why I still remember the article). At the time (almost 30 years ago) we had no idea how important the invention was, even when we realized that it allowed for rgb led light.

But we had no idea leds would be miniaturized to be used in screens and be as ubiquitous as they are today. Living through all this technology evolution has been quite the ride.

Some cities are replacing HPS with LED. Lamps are changed as they break, or by sections.

HPS vs LED lamps. LED are blue compared to HPS.

Thank you!

Didn’t know this artist, thanks! Is it me or there’s some John Singer Sargent influence in this painting?

Name is actually “Joan”, not “Juan”. It’s the Catalonian version of “Juan”.

This is one of the best options, specially if you finished studying, or are an older person. You’ll be surrounded by people that share an interest in similar things as you.

First iteration. I’m sure it’ll improve with time. I guess we all remember those solid gold Apple Watches… XDDD

That’s interesting. It’s a bit funny that new technology can take us closer to those far, and at the same time take us far from those close. :P

I don’t want to make predictions because I may, most probably, fail. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. Some products need more times than others, and some need to get something (and innovative app, for example) that justifies its existence.

Time will tell. But still, it’s a first generation. Even the iPhone was not that good in its first generation. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.

I’m not claiming that this is the end of western civilization or anything like that. What I mean is: the ads sell it like “you will be able to interact with those around you without problems”, and I think that’s not entirely true.

I’m not judging people wanting to isolate themselves, but in my opinion taking this thing off or putting it on is not as easy as putting your smartphone aside, or a newspaper aside.

My thinking is that this will be way more an individual experience than Apple sells. So people should take that into consideration.

The biggest problem I see from these kind of devices is: you’re isolating yourself. For example, it looks very cool that you can see a movie with a similar experience to a theatre, but you’re completely isolated using it. I don’t see a family, each with one of these devices on, watching a movie on the couch at the same time. It’s complicated enough when people have their smartphones out while eating with others…

That doesn’t mean that it hasn’t its uses, but it’s more limited than what the try to sell to you. You’re by yourself when you’re using this device, even if you can see others.
