Yeah a lot of these popular libraries - including Moment, Luxon, Day.js - commit the sin of using a single type of object for distinct concepts. Absolute time, civil time? Basically the same thing right? Just shoehorn…
The IANA timezone database does occasionally revise historical rules when relevant information comes to light. So you might have calculated that some historical figure died at such-and-such a time UTC (based on a…

Yeah you gotta watch out for those "Etc" identifiers, especially if you were thinking about exposing all the identifiers to your users wholesale. The file for them has this comment: > POSIX has positive signs west of…
What happens if a country that's currently at the new UTC-12 anchor wants to move back an hour under that system? Are they forced to "wrap around" and move to the next day instead? Or do you move the anchor itself back…
喷 is included in HSK 5 and Heisig's version of the most common ~3000 characters, it can't be that infrequent.
In addition, the Heisig method doesn't teach "meanings" at all, rather "keywords", which in many cases are only kinda sorta vaguely related to their respective characters' (fragment of) meaning. Either way, they're…
According to Wikipedia: > "Since 2024 the capital ⟨ẞ⟩ is preferred over ⟨SS⟩." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F Check reference #5 and compare it to the older wording in reference #12.
Keep at it, consistently doing a bit every day, and you'll get there. I went through all the free beginner videos (at the time) before moving onto intermediate, then did the same before moving onto advanced, and only…
The idea that Mandarin grammar is easy only really applies at a surface level. Yeah for the most part it's SVO word order and there aren't any verb conjugations, but the deeper you get, the more you run into…

Have a look at Dreaming Spanish, it exists precisely to bridge the "comprehensibility gap" for learners. https://www.dreamingspanish.com (or find the Youtube channel) There's tons of free content to keep you occupied…
The main thing learners utilizing comprehensible input need is volume, so if you actually want to make it useful as more than a one-off novelty, your priority kind of needs to be in pumping out the content (while…
Nope, Spain uses « » (though mostly only in formal writing these days) or English-style quotes.
VS Code has semantic highlighting too, and I'm pretty sure it works with Python these days (might need the right extension/colour scheme).
Also worth checking out something like Clozemaster.
I think the part he left out is that (if I recall correctly) he was allegedly speeding to some degree.
Drunk people lying down in the street is definitely something I've seen several times in my life.
I was already tired of it a decade ago. It's ok when the service also offers a lifetime option though.
RPG Maker XP and later are very flexible because you can actually use code and modify major parts of the game engine (you're limited mostly by the actual editor). But yes, in RM2K/2K3 your ability to break away from the…
Thanks for this! I've also been learning Spanish (for a while now) so I'm always on the lookout for input/practice material. I have a lot of nostalgia for RM2K/2K3 and the 16-bit era of RPGs, so it would be cool to…
