Signal FTW


Can you recommend a guide to do this?


Yeah sure. It's extremely easy. Where did you get the phone from?

That is do you have the EU version, Indian model or the Chinese version?

If you have trouble finding it, look for MIUI version in settings.In the 'About' section of your phone.


The writer would of had an easier time if he read the Ubuntu docs. 16.04 works flawlessly on the 6th gen X1 Carbon. I've been using it for work for the past 4 months without issue. https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201712-26045/


So who would you recommend?


If you are looking for high availability - Google Cloud Platform network is the best. In some other things AWS is better, but GCP network quality is awesome.


I don't really have a low budget alternative. I know that for our service we're evaluating both google and amazon cloud offerings, but only for our high availability services. I figure DO is in the same boat if not worse.


I've been using Hetzner Cloud and have been quite happy with it.


This is quite useful as I don't always remember syntax.

Are there any available for Ruby or Linux?


For Linux, from the same author: https://gto76.github.io/linux-cheatsheet/


I found your comment interesting. If you have a longer version or blog post written anywhere I'd like to read it.


If you look through my history long enough you'll see several versions :-) I'm afraid I don't have anything current that's public. Some day I'll try to find time to write up something more concrete.


I have been learning Spanish for 3 years and have played around with a number of different techniques.

I think Duolingo is awful at helping you retain the vocabulary you have learnt. It doesn't give you a good grounding on context or grammar so you'll end up in a situation where you may know a lot of words but not how to string a sentence together. Exactly as detailed in the article. I will normally put Duolingo in the same category as Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone and not recommend them at all.

There are three apps that I do recommend: 1. Italki - You can book lessons with tutors or teachers in your chosen language and have structured lessons online. 2. HelloTalk - A language exchange app that works better than on Skype. It has a large userbase where you speak to individuals in your chosen language and practice what you have learnt. 3. Lingvist - A vocabulary app that gives you words within the context of a full sentence. This has helped me remember words a lot easier plus my level of reading comprehension went through the roof after using it.

Aside from the apps, it is always a good idea to visit the country of your target language and just try speaking. You will find out what works and what doesn't much faster than any other method.

Finally it is important to remember not to be afraid to make mistakes. It's only words and not the full amount of how we communicate. Keep trying.


If this is in response to the BitConnect drama. I think it is unfortunate but it will be a good idea in the long run.

On one hand there are tokens and coins created with good intentions who will have to find other ways of marketing their values. On the other hand it prevents scam-coins like Bitconnect and DavorCoin from taking advantage of the less informed on a grand scale.
