Support for ublock is only available on Android's Firefox


Not just on Android, I'm using it with uBlock Origin on a GNU/Linux phone as well. Only iOS is an exception.


i'm using ublock origin in chromium for desktop linux and firefox for desktop linux


They're talking about mobile. Since Apple doesn't let browsers use their own engine, uBlock Origin doesn't work on Firefox for iOS, only on Firefox for Android. On the desktop, it works everywhere.


Surely you mean B43 heh.

Those binds all work on this version btw! I automatically did b43o2,,,o3o4o5 and got everything I wanted


The Heise method might be a great fit for you. Unlike most methods, it requires no memorization. And, unlike most methods that require no algs, it can be quite fast. AND it forces you to learn about how the cube actually works and to think in commutators and conjugates: https://www.ryanheise.com/cube/heise_method.html


Thanks, that's a nice site, and a method I feel like I could actually learn. But saying "it requires no memorization" seems a bit of a stretch!


Do you mean the short-term memory needed to apply the commutators or the conjugates? Otherwise you only really need to "memorize" the steps of the method.

I learned this method around 10 years ago, and I can still solve the cube without applying any memorized algorithms because of it. It really is the only fun way for me to solve the cube after all this time.


This. I used to forget the algos whenever I didn't touch the cube for 6 months. Then learnt Ryan's method. Picked up the cube 4 months later and found I can still solve it.


I suspect what you're saying could definitely be a phenomenon. However, in this case, I think it's just a matter of domain and context.

I speak both English and Spanish natively, however, I'm more comfortable in English when talking about e.g. technology and music. On the other hand, I'm more comfortable in Spanish when talking about math, feelings, etc.

As you can probably already tell, it's not like math and feelings are very related. It's just that I've probably been more exposed to those things in Spanish than in English. Same goes for technology and music topics, I've just been exposed to them in English a lot more than in Spanish.

Btw, I also had to write a dissertation in Spanish and I, too, had trouble with it, hah.


Hmm, I may be misreading your comments in this thread but it sounds like you're not okay with languages simply... evolving?

You are aware that importing words is a thing, right? Even if equivalent words already exist. It's perfectly normal and even healthy for a language to do so.

To me, pullear and deployar are just a lot more clear and there's no ambiguity. "Desplegar" would not be very meaningful to me in the context of my work.

It's all about clarity in my mind and condescension really has nothing to do with it.


You discover this early on when picking up a language. It's so pervasive and so annoying for language learners but I can understand why it happens.

If you're learning a language, CC are p much the way to go


It's been mostly reduced to free software projects channels/networks and just semi-private channels for groups of friends who've been on IRC for years now. So #archlinux, #dolphin-emu, #python, ##machinelearning, etc. all on Freenode are pretty active.

There's some hobby and subreddit related channels too. Like ##chess, and #rubik.

Other than that, the language learning community was surprisingly very active years ago, so it's still kinda alive. Language-specific channels like ##deutsch, ##espanol, etc. on Freenode are kinda alive. There's also ##learnanylanguage.


I use #xendevel to collaborate with other Xen developers basically every day. Also use #centos-devel, #centos-virt, and #centos-meeting for various CentOS-related things. Also lurk on #golang-nuts and occasionally either ask or answer a question on there.

But it's all more or less work-related now.


I was once surprised to find that there is also active porn IRC servers. It's unexpectedly mainstream.


You just have to love Stephen Merity.

His work on QRNN's saved me quite a bit of time and money when I was doing my undergrad dissertation on language models.

This SHA-RNN seems to have surfaced from a similar line of thinking that spawned the QRNN.


Are qRNNs still used much?


check out MultiFiT [0] from fastai, it uses QRNN for speed.

Pretty sure the author is a he.

I'm assuming the dating pool is already not huge. Reducing it further by trying to find another foreigner to date would just make it really hard to find a partner.


It'd be cool see some stats for the results people get. I'm sure a lot of people are taking the quiz right now. Could we find what makes people procrastinate most often?

Spoiler, I got 'lack of value' and for some reason I bet it's gonna be a winner, at least when it comes to the HN userbase
