Almost unrelated, but this is one of the domains that just show up as "Server Not Found" by default to users in Germany. It's getting blocked by ISPs on the domain level after a "voluntary agreement" with copyright holders: https://torrentfreak.com/publisher-reinforces-paywall-with-s...

Get out while you still can! I think a lot of software engineers are only content with their job because they're unaware to the alternatives to working as a corporate drone. You might be good at it and it might comfortably bring in a lot of money but it doesn't sound like that's what you truly care about so they're not really convincing arguments.

Why airpods specifically? I recommend the Truthear Hexa, like 1/3 of the price with better tips and far superiour audio quality

>You truthfully replied that it was just your lack of sleep that was to blame, but you conveniently left out the fact that your sleeplessness was the result of staying up all night researching Mad Cow Disease. Yikes!

Probiotic6081··on Paper vs. devices: Brain activation differences during memory retrieval (2021)
> I was commenting on the topic of memory as a whole

You specifically said that the study was lacking a fourth group (spaced repetition software.)

>This study appears to focus on short term memory, but for my money, long-term memory is much more significant. As such, it would have been useful to add a third option: using a SRS system like Anki

Then you should go tell the journal editors that this study is incomplete and didn't cover the type of memory you consider more significant, hopefully they will retract the paper

Probiotic6081··on Paper vs. devices: Brain activation differences during memory retrieval (2021)
> My point was more that if you’re trying to decide which method is better for remembering something (handwriting vs. digital), the introduction of a spaced repetition system (either software like Anki or a Leitner box for handwritten notes) will outcompete either one that is used alone.

The study in question compared three groups (pen & paper note taking, smartphone and tablet) on information retrieval and note taking duration after reading a dialogue.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but that systematic spaced repetition will lead to better information retrieval is kind of obvious and has a lot of literature to support it, but how is it relevant to this study?

Love it! Can't wait for tomorrow (7 minutes from now.) The way I want to go "from A to B" made me think you had to guess the countries in order, which is not the case apparently.

Probiotic6081··on The new Paris métro
>and the replacement bus ran once every hour, which we missed by a few minutes (because we spent time buying and eating fresh croissants, yes, whahah! but were also completely unaware that we really should go to catch that bus ...), so we had to get a taxi.

YTA here bud, if you had spent less time on the pastries you wouldn't of missed the bus!

VALVe has such strong network effects playing in their favour, nobody is gonna buy on those stores if it's also on Steam, except GoG maybe, as it lets you download the games DRM free IIRC

There are problems with the Rundfunkbeitrag, such as that pensions for retirees from high positions are too high but it provides free* access to high quality and verified news and a diverse cultural and informational program. There is a strong argument this important public service should be funded independently from tax money.
