Keep reading HN.

HN feels like where you should go for the worst AI takes and head-in-the-sand copium.

Try something like C where changes come very rarely. Avoid going to Flutter or Dart!


Is there an option to revert back to old UI, like old.github.com, similar to reddit?


Sucks. Migrating to BitBucket.


While this is all sweet and positive stuff, my friends mostly are jerks who "Can't talk. WhatsApp only."


You probably forgot RSS.


Maybe they forgot RSs, or maybe not. I used to get Google alerts as feeds, until they stopped capturing most things. RSS alerts like Google alerts, when they used to work would be pretty cool.


You should probably add this to your list,

"Building Secure and Reliable Systems - Best Practices for Designing, Implementing, and Maintaining Systems" by Heather Adkins, Betsy Beyer, Paul Blankinship, Piotr Lewandowski, Ana Oprea, and Adam Stubblefield. One of must read books for young SRE's


CORS policy is probably the most ignored part by budding devs.


More of such intriguing facts can be found in the book by Martin Jurafsky, Computational linguistics.


This is because in English it's not always that you speak what you write. Pronunciation is different for the same letter in different cases. In some languages (mainly Indian) like Hindi, we speak what we write and we write what we speak i.e. Our letters have a definite and unique sounds.


While this is true, the pronunciations are not consistent across languages that use Devanagari script. ज्ञ is pronounced like "gy" in Hindi, but "ny" in Marathi. ज is pronounced like "jy"(with the य sound) in Hindi-ish languages, but without य in Marathi. Some sounds are completely missing/unused is some languages, like ळ and ण.

So non-native speakers with another Devanagari language as mothertongue still get pronunciations wrong.


Also, even within Marathi, at least for the letters ज and च, how you pronounce them depends on the word. You have to know the correct pronunciation beforehand, as it can't really be guessed from the word.

जेजुरी is my favourite example. चिंच is a close second :)


That property is called phonemic orthography, and some examples include Finnish, Turkish and Esperanto.
