> Is there a way now to define a slice-based type that enforces strict typing of its index

Nope, no way to do that.

I wonder about ergonomics. I can imagine "academic" usage, but I shudder at the perspective of the impact on a typical CRUD app.

> I don't think any of the new additions to the library have seriously made the learning curve more difficult.

Ah, so you haven't looked into json/v2 yet.

My anecdata is that both Duolingo and LLMs are useful in learning. Yes, you have to put in the work.

Seeing the usual HN hate on Duolingo specifically, I wonder whether it's blind. I might have missed scientific research about it causing cancer.

Responding with my own anecdata: Duolingo is not bad, but better options exist, in with a gap in quality and quantity that you might as well just use those (admittedly, I have been learning Spanish and Japanese, languages that have a lot more resources than Mongolian).

Speaking with anyone who has intensively learnt languages, FSRS is the best way to remember vocabulary (you will need a separate source to actually learn it). And I've found that books often offer more structured practice and introduction. After you've outgrown books, picking up words from real conversations / media is much faster and makes you more likely to actually remember them.

And for Duolingo, there are many things to nitpick about. The obsessive gamification, the hearts (and the current energy) system that prioritizes getting answers correct by guesswork and cheating or being limited to a few minutes a day, the company firing chunks of it's core translation and language staff.

Duolingo is more than adequate, however, if you plan to do 5 min / day and just want to keep a streak going. I have seen people who have gotten real results from it too.

We want them to better predict consequences of their outputs.

> consequences of their outputs

For what purpose exactly? When the computer is asked the solution to a problem, it must be absolute: "What is the sum of 12 and 45"; "Is Jack cognitively apt" etc.: we want a truth, strictly. What to do with that truth, it is another problem, and not the priority of the computer vis-a-vis the requirement from truthiness. This is, of course, still in the context of adults.

ááattsistaawa means "rabbit, hare" for those who prefer real words (language of Blackfoot Indians, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C3%A1%C3%A1attsistaa-)

> At least in this configuration ads are separate from answers.

As a frog would say: at least the heat is separate from water, for now.

Funny that people still perpetuate the myth about boiling frogs; they absolutely jump out at a certain hot enough temperature regardless of how slowly it is heated.

I was literally wondering this when trying to fall asleep yesterday

Nothing in this list implies "post-modernist", and post-marxism does not imply "marxist".

The Venn diagram has a fat middle

On Linux.

Look for `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` if you want to learn about Windows.

> I'm pretty nuclear

I'm atomic, FWIW.

> how having nuclear power prevents vulnerability to direct attack?

OP alluded to a well-known bonus capability of nuclear power plants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutonium-239#Production

it's very hard to create plutonium for weapons this way due to parasitic isotopes. Much easier to have distributed enrichment or uranium.

> you can obviously just decide who has sex with your wife

That's your fantasies, not author's. He merely implied that one can obviously decide whom to allow to fuck one's wife. He hasn't implied that wife's consent is unnecessary or automatic.

Don't be obtuse.
