Oh great point. I’d add skiing to that category.
What are some cool skills that are best learned young?
I can think of two:
- Speaking multiple languages, and
- Perfect pitch
Both are more easily learned at a young age. Are there others?
Questions about ACL Festival
I'm excited to attend ACL Festival this year (my first time).
My partner and I would like to plan out our weekend. When do we learn the stages and times for different artists?
And a separate question: When can I buy this year's T-shirt? I only see 2022 for sale on the website.
Thanks!

As long as it’s not automated and spammy, i’m game.
Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich manuscript is an illustrated codex hand-written in an unknown script referred to as 'Voynichese'. The vellum on which it is written has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century (1404–1438). Stylistic analysis indicates it may have been composed in Italy during the Italian Renaissance. The origins, authorship, and purpose of the manuscript are debated. Hypotheses suggest that it is a script for a natural language or constructed language; an unread code, cypher, or other form of cryptography; or a meaningless hoax.
Cast iron? Yes. Stainless steel? Yes, but check temp. Nonstick? Better not
I really like the legend mentioned in the article:
According to a legend of the local Torghut population, in 1372 a Mongol military general named Khara Bator was surrounded with his troops by the armies of the Ming dynasty. Diverting the Ejin River, the city's water source that flowed just outside the fortress, the Ming dynasty denied Khara-Khoto water for its gardens and wells. As time passed and Khara Bator realised his fate, he murdered his family and then himself. After his suicide, Khara Bator's soldiers waited within the fortress until Ming troops finally attacked and killed the remaining inhabitants.
Wow, this is great. Thanks for the tip!

Ithkuil is an experimental constructed language created by John Quijada.[1] It is designed to express more profound levels of human cognition briefly yet overtly and clearly, particularly about human categorization. It is a cross between an a priori philosophical and a logical language.

I too am a Vim user learning Clojure. I am trying to use Cursive since I often use IntelliJ. I suspect the concept of structural editing will be powerful, but for now it's still an awkward process for me.
For my own projects I’m trying to build things I actually want. Tools for myself. But now the hard part becomes identifying a tool you wish you had, and scoping it down enough so that it’s appropriately sized for a new language. Tricky to approach the task from two ends.
If you aren’t familiar with dependency injection, that could prove a hurdle. Same for webflux/reactor. I would avoid using webflux until you feel more familiar with non-reactive spring. Otherwise it will feel overwhelming.
I feel this way about Hell Let Loose sometimes
I setup Anarch.is today. Feel free to create an account. Still need to write-up guidelines, enable community creation, etc. but it’s ready if you want to post/comment on other instances.
If we run into server load problems i’ll upgrade it. 😎
I think it mainly comes down to the project landing page being more friendly and the UI being more polished.
The landing page of join-lemmy.org doesn't show what the website looks like. The only screenshots are of code and github. That section is geared towards potential instance administrators, not potential users.
