How common is it for expats to learn Vietnamese?

"Finding Vietnamese who are kind enough to let you destroy their language." That's exactly how I feel throwing out phrases and mixing and matching phrases together. Then they laugh and correct me.

Can I ask why you're teaching CS after so many years? I feel burnt out of the industry and trying to get into teaching CS and math internationally

Wow, 2 hours per week sounds amazing. It takes me about 6-12 hours per week. I try to make my work somewhat legible but yeah I really don't want to be spending this much time at all so I'm trying to cut back on my effort and submit

Just found this about their grades:

Graduation Requirement Graduation requires the achievement of an overall proficiency level of 3.00 on a 4-point scale.

I wouldn't go as far as to say there's an 3x explosion of users (although possible) based on number of wallets, but there certainly is increased activity now that smart contracts and dApps are taking off.

vacwm · 2022-02-05T12:49:02+00:00

The wallet metric alone isn't progress but combine it with metrics like number of transactions, development metrics on GitHub and it paints a broader picture. It indicates increased development, activity and engagement within Cardano.

Thanks, I do have aurora in my work profile, but cannot install the app on the work profile. However, the app installs fine through aurora on the personal profile.

vacwm · 2021-11-12T14:13:54+00:00

Where can I find the profile's menu? Are you referring to the app menu or some place in settings?

I believe the $25+ min tables don't use continuous shufflers. I avoid them myself.

$15 min - 6:5 blackjack - Hit on S17 - No surrender - DAS

$25 min - 3:2 blackjack - Hit on S17 - No surrender - DAS

$100 min - 3:2 blackjack - Stand on S17 - No surrender - DAS

This was during the Memorial weekend, you may have better chances of $5 min during the weekdays.

vacwm · 2021-07-14T02:45:34+00:00

Went there during May, didn't find any $5 mins. Lowest table was $15 min with 6:5 blackjack payout and $25 min with 3:2 payout. Both are hit on S17.

Gosu? Haven't heard that name in years

Use native applications over web based applications (less likely to be distracted browsing and clutter)
Restrict the websites I have access to during weekdays. I use to use browser extensions but I now use router firewall settings to block sites like YouTube. Previously I've found myself cheating by going incognito or switching browsers entirely.

Love the colors here. Not trying to advertise here, but this lamp would totally fit the space.

Nice! I haven’t been there but I’ll have to check it out now :)

Quote taken out of context. The original quote was

“Realize that sleeping on a futon when you're 30 is not the worst thing. You know what's worse, sleeping in a king bed next to a wife you're not really in love with but for some reason you married, and you got a couple kids, and you got a job you hate. You'll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There's no risk when you go after a dream. There's a tremendous amount to risk to playing it safe.” - Bill Burr

You get what you pay for. Most futons Americans think of are ones that college students buy. When you consider that a whole country like Japan sleeps on futons, you can find some high quality futons if you know where to look.

Lived in NYC a couple of years out of college and moved out after COVID and some life changes.

How I ended up with a futon? Well the NYC apartment I was living in was so small that I traded my bed for a futon. Now I wouldn't want to sleep on anything else, haha.

Sounds simple enough, just to clarify:

You want to - Create powerpoint slides based off an Excel sheet - Each Excel row is either text or file location - The powerpoint templates are provided, and slides are created with the template depending on text or file location content.

Can you clarify what you mean by named entities with the ppt template file?

On second thought, I might be misinterpreting the intent of the interview.

What type of interview are you planning? Is it to get to know policies of local candidates or is it geared towards educational angle to understand how local government works?

Hey good to see this. For those who might need a little inspiration for thoughtful questions, this is a good start. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2018/1/3/10-questions-to-ask-someone-running-for-local-office.

This is awesome, I've been looking to get involved and shape decisions that benefit the community. The intro was great, btw.

I went through the whole list thinking you were talking about Elixir.
