I've done numerous checkout/payment processing integrations over the years. Stripe is still pretty easy to use and full-featured compared to what I've used in the past. It does have its annoyances, shortcomings and API inconsistencies - but it's still better than the alternatives, in my view.

Support has been good when I needed more documentation on something. Their chatbot performs very poorly, however.

Related to eating, one pro-tip I got from a local is that when you're ready to close your tab or get your check at a bar or restaurant, you can make a small X with your index fingers.

Really useful in a busy bar!

I've owned a bunch of different synthesizers and used a bunch of DAWs over the years and it was clear to me where I needed to make my edits to affect the signal chain.

We do real-time client-side audio processing in Emurse, and there were definitely a bunch of challenges to overcome there, so it would be interesting to hear more about what went into building the tool.

This app was the starting point for presenting interactive content in Emurse. We're currently focusing on filling in areas of language learning that are missing - like phonetics.

If anyone is interested, they can checkout Dogen's Phonetics Course on Emurse: https://emurse.io/courses. There's also an "instant demo" for the Thai Course where you can try a demo without creating an account.

This is where Anki falls short for language study, because we as language learners also want to look at listening & reading comprehension as well as pronunciation.

Any reason why you're using SM-2 over FSRS? In Emurse we're using an algorithm similar to SM-2, mainly because FSRS wasn't out when we started building it. it works well enough because we've come up work arounds for Anki's problem of workload distribution. Looking into FSRS a bit, I am definitely interested in giving this a shot and seeing if it improves it in that area.

So many of the apps installed on my phone could be PWAs, but since the implementation of PWAs is quite limited - a native app is required in most cases.

Having used Turbo Pascal and Turbo C prior to Visual Basic and Visual C, Microsoft's "Visual" IDEs and other Windows based IDEs of the 90's were a step up in ease of use even if they did require more files to build a project.

We worked with Dogen, a YouTuber that does Japanese comedy videos and pronunciation lessons with a course on Japanese Phonetics and Pitch accent - you can find a link in my profile.

AI has its place, but I am also tired of all the AI slop. That's why we're partnering with creators who have already been producing excellent content to build courses on Emurse.

Japan's transportation infrastructure is great!

We're currently working with language influencers to build courses on Emurse. This year, we launched Japanese Phonetics course created by the YouTuber Dogen https://emurse.io/course/japanese-phonetics.

If you want to try out Emurse, we have a free Thai reading course available. You can view the first lesson without out creating an account: https://emurse.io/courses.

Ultimately, there's only so much you can cover in a history class on a very broad topic like "Ancient History" or "American History".

Some people enjoy the process of solving equations and math problems. For me, it's a tough process. Unless I have a tangible goal, I struggle to visualize the problem.

Starting with basic algebra, it would be more effective if mathematics were paired with some practical problems. Computer graphics, engineering, construction, finance and the analysis of data would be good areas to do this in because it's exactly where you'd need said math!

Browser-based word-processing and spreadsheets pretty great. I love VS Code. The multimedia capabilities of browsers are pretty good and up to the tasks I need them for.

If you're into homemade instruments and the process behind making them, bellowphone is fun one to check out. He goes into detail about his builds and also has performances of himself playing his wacky creations.

I was doing consulting work up until a few years ago and it still showed up on a lot of projects, and the integrations were usually full of buggy spaghetti code. You can build low-quality apps in any framework, but the more full-featured frameworks at least to try to set the developers up for success.

I am on QGIS 3.30 and many of the street labels at 1:31860 scale show up in red and are not aligned correctly.
