I had to split it because the sheer size of Indian audiences breaks all the metrics, and yet those videos would not be super relevant in the west as a very large percentage of the Indian educational youtube consists of various kinds of local exam/test preparation channels
IIRC Indian English has almost 250m speakers, which is in the same ballpark as what we'd call American English and has its own, distinct features as much as AmE vs. BrE.
Interesting that Cryptomator hasn't been mentioned so far. I've been thinking about about setting it up to work with my 2TB GDrive. Anybody know how it compares?
I wish apple would put a damn 5G chip on their laptops!
It makes no sense that you can get a 12.9" iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular but not a 13" MBA Wi-Fi + Cellular. Sure, battery life might take a bit of a hit but I like that compromise more than needing to fret about my phone's battery levels because of the extra drain from tethering.
Apple is currently developing their own cellular modem chips. The expectation is that once they have their own chips, they will use them in most of their products, including the laptops. They supposedly had a setback this year and the program is delayed by another year or so.
I think this will come when they have in house 5G chip, which they’re working on since they bought Intels department. They’re currently relying on Qulacom on the iPhone/iPad
Sadly, the above scenario is more truth than fiction – for computer enthusiasts. There is a particularly cruel discrepancy between what a creative child imagines the trade of a programmer to be like and what it actually is. When you are a teenager, alone with a (programmable) computer, the universe is alive with infinite possibilities. You are a god. Master of all you survey. Then you go to school, major in “Computer Science,” graduate – and off to the salt mines with you, where you will stitch silk purses out of sow’s ears in some braindead language, building on the braindead systems created by your predecessors, for the rest of your working life. There will be little room for serious, deep creativity. You will be constrained by the will of your master (whether the proverbial “pointy-haired boss,” or lemming-hordes of fickle startup customers) and by the limitations of the many poorly-designed systems you will use once you no longer have an unconstrained choice of task and medium. To my knowledge, no child grows up “playing doctor” and still believes as a teenager (or even as a college student) that an actual medical practice resembles that activity. Likewise, no one has a fully functional toy legal system to play with as a child, and as a result goes into law. On the other hand, “adult” programming, seen from afar, is enough like child-programming to set the computer-enthusiast child up for just this kind of exceptionally cruel bait-and-switch.
It's what I learned with. I thought it was pretty good, but I haven't tried any others. It gets you started, and seems best for a reader who knows a few other languages.
