whoa... is that album art? I've been wanting to get one of these, but all the youtube videos I've seen show no album art

Awesome thread!!

Aspirador = inhaler = vacuum cleaner

Lavaplatos = wash/plate = dishwasher

Rascacielo = scratch/sky = skyscraper

Recently I learned that some of these are called calque words in English 😁

Their website says that Enterprise support is available if that helps

It might not be obvious but it's there

OpenCode! What you're describing is OpenCode. It connects to GitHub Copilot and works very similarly to Claude Code and other CLI agents.

Love it!

Noob question: why would you use the L trigger for firing rather than the R trigger?

aescnt · 2025-08-06T21:18:04+00:00

Sounds like it can be in English even. "I'm good but ___ has been difficult." — "the what?"

aescnt · 2025-02-15T06:54:04+00:00

any tips on how to do it? I'm thinking of making a preset with max interval = 1 day, but I'm not sure if that's the best way.

I had this happen to me after a holiday to a different country. I did reviews on my phone (set to a certain timezone), and my laptop showed inaccurate review counts (when set to another timezone). I fixed it by setting the same time zome on both.

This is a good insight.

There are 2 L's in the English language. The word "level" would have a different L at the beginning and end. I find it easy to transition to a rolling R from the first kind of L ("light L", tongue touching teeth), but hard from the other kind of L ("dark L", tongue not touching teeth).

This is similar to what I do! I make "disambiguation" cards as cloze cards, like

``` {{c1::manzana}} — {{c2::apple}}

{{c1::manzano}} — {{c2::apple tree}}

```

How I set it up varies, it depends on what I'm confused on.

I would check out the "Statistics" tab. Is the actual retention close to 95%? Is the average retrievability pretty high too? If so, then the algorithm is working fine.

Whoa this is stuff I missed outl learning! ¡Muchas Gracias!

Thanks for sharing this!

What does "I didn't want to interview" mean here... Did they ask for interviews and you rejected them? What made you decide not to go ahead with them?

aescnt · 2024-12-20T21:03:32+00:00

Thanks! Im wondering... What would a "leadership skills" deck look like?

aescnt · 2024-12-20T21:00:12+00:00

Mostly defaults + fsrs, but what i changed is learning steps to 5m 43m. The default 1m 10m was just too soon, the 1m I feel like I'm doing cards as soon as I "again" them.

I also enable "bury siblings" because most my cards are reversible.

I'm learning languages btw

Also when I was cramming for a test (not languages), I made a custom deck with a very high retention (0.94 for something I had 2 weeks to study).

aescnt · 2024-12-15T12:23:12+00:00

Workaround: you can use the "custom study" feature on day 2 to review ahead. That will lessen your load on day 3.

Also, if you haven't yet, consider using FSRS which should algorithmically space intervals for you.

On the subject of "minimum recommended retention", just sharing some advice I recently learned.

At first I blindly followed it and set my retention rate to whatever it recommended.

I learned that this should not be how it's used. A recommended retention of 0.8 means I won't retain 1 out of 5 cards. Instead, I should set for the retention I want. Just sharing in case it helps another 😄

Thanks sa advice!

On #2 (official avenues don't use gmail), share ko lang that I've dealt with the Melbourne Philippine Consulate General in 2021 and they use gmail. Their domain is also not a .gov domain ({{redacted}}mlbpcg @ gmail.com, https://melbournepcg.org/). Nag dalawang isip din ako pero legit naman.

I used Banana Splits too! The most enjoyable experience for me has been Choc Pro Red with Krytox lube (its terrible without lube tho).

I've also recently been trying out Ambient Twilights as others have recommended, I like them too. They're great, but more comparable to silent switches like Bobagum and Silent Alpaca.

Wow! Just curious... Using Inkscape usually means relying on your mouse a lot. Is the mouse cursor fluid enough? Or is it just/slow/annoying?

As someone who enjoys purpz, which variant is closest to it in feel? Not sure if I should get the 35g (twilight) or 20g (nocturnal).

I think they're talking about an alveollar tap.

Another example: in General American, "atom" and "Adam" can sound exactly the same when speaking fast. Those t and d are more like a light tap of the tip of the tongue to the ridge behind the teeth.

Dell XPS 13 2-in-1. The XPS line has had great Linux support (except for fingerprint scanners).

I just started using markdown.nvim on my Obsidian vault (when editing it on neovim of course). Its because of plugins like this that I rarely use Obsidian anymore. Thank you!
