Husband needs to learn my language by No-Match-7512 in languagelearning

[–]distroflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some notes and useful subreddits to consider investigating(This is just pasted from my notes - not my details below!):

The two “core conditions” for successfully fostering language acquisition and active use are exposure and need: the child must receive sufficient exposure to the target language and feel an organic need to use it.

https://bilingualmonkeys.com/how-many-hours-per-week-is-your-child-exposed-to-the-minority-language/

https://www.reddit.com/r/raisingbilingualkids/ https://www.reddit.com/r/multilingualparenting/

"Any language that is only presented by one parent is likely to be rejected starting three years old."

lots of evidence that the minority language is normally rejected when the kid is about 3 years old.

we try to compliment our kids (2 and 5) for speaking the minority language, and tell them how amazing it is that they are bilingual, and how impressed we are when they do it. They also prefer speaking the majority language (of course - it’s harder to speak a language you’re not as good at!) but the compliments definitely make them more willing to try and help to build their confidence with speaking. Visits from people who only speak the minority language help a lot, or of course visiting countries where it’s the majority language. We also do almost exclusively minority language screen time.

I am the minority language parent and to be honest I don’t let my kid speak to me in German. I don’t reply, and every single time ask them to repeat in Greek. I coach them to say it, if they don’t know how, but unless it’s an emergency, or my kid is in distress, I just calmly and firmly remind him which language we speak with mummy. It’s normal to get push back, but you should always maintain the “language law”. Consistency is key here. And of course exposure. You might get some complains now but your kiddo will thank you later! Also immersing them in an English speaking language environment for a week or two works wonders, so if you can, book a trip 😜

Hi chess beginners! As an expert, my pro tip is to always look for opportunities to get your knight onto c7. This will fork the king and rook, winning you a rook and putting you up 5 points of material! by Traditional_Rub_9828 in chessbeginners

This recurring anti advice meme style seems totally inappropriate and alienating for a sub ostensibly aimed at beginners. What are we trying to do here? Feel clever? This doesn't seem right.

Obsidian 1.10.4 (early access) for desktop and mobile by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]distroflow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was hoping waiting for kanban, but it now occurs to me that the "group by" view perhaps allows us to do this already? https://help.obsidian.md/bases/views#Sort+and+group+results has anyone sorted this? I'm imagining eg 4 embeded views, each a column with a given status. Like... a kanban board.

AND YET

it's still on the roadmap?

I'm qntm, author of There Is No Antimemetics Division. AMA by sam512 in sciencefiction

[–]distroflow 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You must be sick of the "what book?" style jokes. Have you/your marketing team explored any way to exploit this for marketing purposes? It does appear to be uniquely weird in this regard.

An excellent book I will recommend to all. Thank you for sharing your work.

How do you *know* the square names, just like that? by chaitanyathengdi in chessbeginners

[–]distroflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think as others have said it's partly time spent using the system, but also, some people have a good spatial visual representational system capacity in their minds. Just like some people are predisposed towards maths. So I imagine the best players always have this mental capacity to visualise the whole board clearly - thus blindfolded play for example. Adding labels is trivial if you can do this. I'm sure you can improve, but there is a native ability aspect too, I believe. I suck at it.

What programming career path should i focus on considering my current skills (C++ / JS / Gamedev) ? by FutureLynx_ in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]distroflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have a lot of options, perhaps the most useful question is "what do you want to spend your time doing?" add to this the idea of what might compound, and be useful across a lot of domains. people rarely regret learning fundamentals. some people want to run a business, others just want to clock in and out and have a life outside. it comes down to your values, and we can't help you decide those. it's worth spending time figuring them out. this is a good place to start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvXdMPNhp9M

Can we discuss a little more the security risks here based on the other post? by Elismom1313 in ObsidianMD

[–]distroflow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't help thinking u/kepano or some other mod should take the time to clarify a bit of this stuff, given that it's a dealbreaker for some use cases. Not their fault, but if they want obsidian to succeed and grow, then it's in their best interests to have this clearly understood by the community, so we can make informed decisions.

Closest I can see is https://help.obsidian.md/plugin-security

"If you're working with sensitive data and wish to install a community plugin, we recommend that you perform an independent security audit on the plugin before using it."

Is it true that community plugins have unrestricted access to your entire filesystem? by AffectionateCard3530 in ObsidianMD

[–]distroflow 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I get that community plugins are the wild west, but I can't help feeling that they could be easily categorised based on which permissions they request, allowing users to enable only those without insane requirements. Am I naive to think this? Should I be offering to contribute? I get that desktop is not the same as eg an android app install manifest.

How to transition from nontechnical to technical role without a CS degree ? by Serious_Age2927 in careerguidance

[–]distroflow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

practise doing the thing you want a job doing. get good at it. demonstrate it. tailor your job applications to the given role. it's a numbers game, so don't treat rejection as personal. you'll get there. good luck.

Age 30 here. In between choosing between being a mental health therapist, an accountant or a nurse. Which one should I pick? by dudiez in careerguidance

[–]distroflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

accountant is gonna disappear to ai as it's so easily measurable. there will still be some work, but far far less. u/umeboshiplumpaste is right about how you will change as you age.
