  • ‘Don’t reinvent the wheel’. If the earliest (re-)invention of the wheel, known to us, was flawless, it wouldn’t have been reinvented so many times. There will always be new obstacles, new scenarios and new expectations. I get it. It’s intended as a reminder to look up existing solutions for a problem before starting entirely from scratch. But, especially in software development, where this phrase is often used, this reminder is rarely necessary…

    Definitely. But if this specific feature, that isn’t even primarily intended as an accessibility feature, has apparently not been available before in this form, does it make sense to call out Spotify for making that feature available “only” limited on the free version?

    But yes, I’m aware of the community I’m on right now :D







  • I didn’t get far learning any language using free online resources (technically English, but that was/is rather a passive learning experience).

    I mostly used Duolingo to take the first steps and to challenge my interest for the language. At a certain point I prefer language-specific services, e.g. for Esperanto there is lernu (I stopped that, because I hated a few concepts of the language).

    I learn Japanese on and off. I’m currently at my third or fourth attempt I believe xD I tried a lot from (again) Duolingo, JapanesePod101 to Memrise. On the long-term I prefer to use online resources secondary, e.g. existing Anki vocabulary decks to guide my textbook. And for a language like Japanese I like to use different kinds of dictionaries, articles and historical context, because sometimes there simply isn’t a definite answer T_T
