Readit NewsThe decks for studying Japanese that I’d like would have RTK/wanikani style elements used for mnemonics and I’d like them shown in the answer along with a full description and cross references.
Right now I’d have to build a templating system to prebuilt my deck and import it and it’s just a lot of work on top of the work of building the content, but mostly it makes it difficult to edit/update cards while studying.
That's the bright side of Python. They should mention the dark side, or Why _not_ to use Python for scripting.
First of all, the promise of easy portability breaks as soon as the script has dependencies. Try to install some Python program on a server where you're not root and a minimal python3 is installed.
The stability isn't very good in my experience either. I've often seen programs not compatible with recent releases of Python, either explicitly in the README or implicitly at runtime. Unmaintained Python code breaks.
Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet. Posix shell or bash may be better for simple scripts; Perl or Python if you know you won't require dependencies or if you have a good control on where to install the script; languages that compile to static executables are not really "scripting", but may be a better choice for long(term usage. These past years, I tend to keep away from Python as much as I can.
And bash has a good dependency story? At least with python you can bundle your script with a requirements.txt file and it is doable for the target machine to get up and running.
I bit more info on what NeetCode is, why I should focus on those 150 problems and how the drilling actually work would be helpful. Do I get asked to do the same problems on repeat? Is it the same problems reformulated over and over? Is there actualy any spaced repetition, or am I projecting?
The cost and complexity and the effort required to switch away from M365 is massive. It's not just using a different version of Excel and Word - that's the least of the issues. It's all the data stored in SharePoint Online, the metadata, permissions, data governance, etc. It's the Teams meetings, voice calls, chats and channels. All the security policies that are implemented with Entra and Defender. All the desktop and mobile management that is done through Intune. And the list just goes on and on.
Microsoft bundles so many things with M365, that when you're already paying for an E5 licence for each user, it makes financial sense to go all-in and use as much as possible.
Take a look at the full feature list to get an idea of what's included: https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/microsoft-365/enterprise/mic...
And of course, the more you consume, the harder it is to get out...
Expecting physical reality to synchronously conform to a policy in an information system is pretty silly.
And when the mismatch tends to be in the stores favor, then maybe it isn’t silly but malicious.
I read (and re-read, and re-read) the book You Can't Win on recommendation of a HN user. It's about a thief from the late 1800s-early 1900s, and the crimes he and his thief buddies did were pretty creative. A lot of crime is more brute-force than clever, but people can do some pretty interesting things if they want something and don't care if they lose everything.
I've never tested it without contacts permissions though.
