Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity is an officially recognized disability in Sweden (this is not recognized as an illness because no diagnosis exists for this condition).” Professor Johansson gave the example of a head ache “ how can one measure the pain or prove the existence of a head ache?” Sweden ranks in the top 10 in the world for healthcare. Magnetic Flux poses the largest threat to individuals with EMHS.

2023.06.04 16:54 slycat34 Native Database for containers

I'm concerned with processor overhead of running multiple docker stacks that require their own databases. Currently have 5 stacks using mysql/mariadb separately and I feel it will bog down my already low power ARM board. Besides that managing a bunch of isolated databases is not admin-friendly.
I already had mariaDB running native for a few services and managed with phpMyAdmin. I am thinking of exporting the container databases to the native instance and then having each container point to native. Easier to manage all in one portal and reduces overhead of running multiple mariaDB instances.
Is this the right way to go? If so should I keep it native install or containerize mariaDB (containers point to native vs. natives point to container)?

2023.06.04 16:49 Andoni95 N5 from zero in 30 days (Reflections, methodologies, and pedagogy)

Introduction

I started learning Japanese on March 22 2023. At the time of writing, It has been about 70-80 days since. Currently I would place myself at N4 level (now studying N3). I became very inspired to study Japanese after (a) visiting Niseko (Hokkaido) and (b) reading a post on Reddit about someone who claims to pass N1 from zero in 8.5 months.
The purpose of this post is to offer (a) alternative perspectives to learning Japanese, (b) prove that it is possible to learn quickly, (c) challenge some of the existing recommendations. This post is part one out of eight articles detailing my journey to N1 from zero in 8 months. Disclaimer, this post will be very long and ranty!
This post will cover some of the study techniques and experiments I’ve conducted for the first month, as well as the results of my experimentation and insights. As for the elephant in the room, I’m currently studying N3 after 60+ days into my Japanese learning journey. I’m sure many are skeptical or might presume that I have bad mastery of N5 and N4 content, but by the end of the post, I’m confident that I would have responded to them. This post is not created to discouarge anyone >< I just wanted to see if my studying tips can inspire or resonate with other people.

Prior Knowledge

I started watching anime since Naruto. I think that was 15 years ago. I’m not particularly obsessed with Japanese culture but I do follow the mainstream anime like Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and most recently Demon Slayer. So I do possess 15 years of acclimatising to the sound of Japanese anime speech. However my Vocab is very limited. I know how to count from 1-99, konnichiwa and itadakemasu, and a couple more words that I might remember if I was prompted. I also know the hand signs from Naruto. Apart from that, I consider myself truly zero in Japanese knowledge.

While your brain can only hold 7-9 items in the short term memory at once, it does not mean you cannot study more than 9 items in a day.

I see most people on Reddit recommending 15-20 new cards on Anki. Personally I think this pace is way too slow, especially for the beginner. Most typical N5 vocab deck would have about 600-700 cards. 15cards/day means that it would take 40-50 days just to see all the cards. I also came across a study that says our short term brain cannot store more than 9 items at a time. This would seem to support support the recommendation of 15-20 vocabulary cards a day. While reading Moonwalking with Einstein, a book on the capabilities of the human memory, I read about a story of a guy who could draw the landscape of New York with shocking precision after flying pass the city on a helicopter once. The book also hinted at the idea that we possess some form of photographic memory.
And so, i tried to do about 50-100 new cards a day. Within 10 days, I’ve seen all the N5 Vocab. Around day 15 or so, i became concerned that cramming so many words in a day would mean that the retention rate will be low. So I tested myself on those 700 words and I think I got about 85% correct.
Personally i was very happy with that score. I thought I could do a lot worse. So clearly, trying to learn 100 new cards a day wasn’t detrimental to retention rate (I will address my thoughts on burnout on a later point). What is happening?
My hypothesis is that while we can’t store more 6-9 items in our short term memory, it doesn’t mean that when we study our 10th,11th, 20th or 100th item, our brain would completely reject the input. You are still imprinting something onto the brain. What this means is that while you should not expect to see a word once and remember it forever, it says nothing about the upper limit of how many words you can simultaneously start on the first stage of the SRS system. We all know that SRS takes time to turn short term memory into long term memory. It could take weeks or a few months. But if we can start 100 words on the SRS system vs 15-20 words, and there is no significant cost to doing more words, then starting 100 new cards a day will bring us to our destination much faster.

Self-fulfilling prophecy

When you read about many people agreeing that 15-20 new Anki card a day is a good pace, or that it takes 300-500 hours to pass N5, then it sets the expectation of what is normal. The reason I was able to Master N5 in approximately 150-200 hours and learn all its vocab a couple of weeks is because I did not pay attention to what other people can achieve.

How I use Anki

https://preview.redd.it/wdwqgc0ok04b1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=89548a0e0972cfd2cde0c48a58515bfb9fef829b
From my survey on Reddit, it seems that people get overwhelm by the amount of reviews on Anki. And I think this reveals that the are doing reviews differently from how I do it.
When I do my Anki reviews, I only entertain two state of minds when marking the flash cards. The first is I know the answer (the answer pops into my brain instantaneously) and the second is I don’t know the answer (mind is blank). I do not try to recall the answer. Recalling takes time. If I try to recall the answer, it might take me upwards of a minute or two to remember it (and even then, I might still be wrong). Instead i like my Anki reviews to be snappy. It feels like I take about a fraction of a second to answer my Anki cards, although the Anki statistics tells me that I take 4second per card. Still fast either way. At 4s/card I can do 900 reviews in one hour.
Next is how I use Easy, Good, Again and Hard. The rule of thumb is to be more liberal than strict. I try to use Easy, instead of Good as much as I can because I don’t want my reviews to pile up. I almost never use Hard even if I get the card completely wrong. Speaking of reviews pilling up, we need to define what marking an Anki item as Good or Easy means to me.
For a lot of people it means aiming for perfection. That means that the person only click Easy or Good if his answer exactly matches the back side of the card. For myself I set an extremely low bar, as long the vague feeling of what I think the answer is somewhat matches the answer on the back side, I’m happy to give it a Good at least. Why? Because it’s the nature of Anki or SRS system to return cards you previously click Easy and Good. I don’t have to worry about being too forgiving on myself and being ignorant about the fact because I can always count on the card to return eventually. And if I a card I previously marked as Good, came back, and feels difficult, I would then make a mental note to study it in greater detail. Secondly, a lot of the 700 words in a typical N5 vocab deck are so common that you will encounter them all the time in the wild. This is called organic or natural SRS. If you are strict on your Anki at this stage, it can be quite an overkill in hindsight. Of course it may not feel like an overkill in the beginning because you are still gettting cards wrong.

Burnt out

https://preview.redd.it/14138x4yk04b1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4fcb57dc6279850cc5debec8871dbbb8aabbf90
https://preview.redd.it/yo4br6nyk04b1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=c15be37671fe334cb577a8e9ac33974933f00689
https://preview.redd.it/vnsx0umzk04b1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=c69555aa237a3e6bcf538db3014ef410aee3f34b

Okay what about burnout. Surely I might be overdoing it, and wouldn’t burnout eventually catch up to me. Yes and no. I think the phenomenon of burnout is highly exaggerated. I don’t like to use the word burnt out whenever I’m feeling “burnt out” because it has a lot of negative connotations and because negative connotations can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. Instead, I prefer to use the phrase, “I’m tired now”. I kind of compare myself to Shonen protagonists where there’s this big villain coming up and then some special training to level up. The special training is usually quite intense, and sometimes dangerous, and they will eventually be quite tired by the end of the training. But these protagonists always reemerge stronger with new abilities and can now overcome stronger foes.
Similarly, whenever I study too much, I would just acknowledge that I’m tired, watch some anime and something different. I’m usually okay by the next morning. I attribute my ability to resist burn out my thoughts and attitude.

Consistency, multimodality learning, and resourcefulness

Okay the N1 tango book is really too difficult for me. I bought it thinking i could get a headstart on N1 while concurrently studying N3. Its just too much at this point.
I only believe in one kind of consistency, and that is that you have to show up almost every day. But I don’t believe in the kind of consistency that requires me to be on a 365-day Anki/wanikani/immersion streak. This is also one factor that helps to protect burn out. When I feel like doing textbook learning, that’s what I’m going to do. If want to do pure Bunpro and Anki for the next 3 days without reading any textbook, that’s what I’ll do.
I also believe in the idea of multimodality learning. I use everything at my disposal:
All the textbooks (Genki, Minna no nihongo, Tae Kim)
YouTube videos (Misa ammo, game gengo, tokiniandy)
Podcast
Songs
Doing active immersion with anime
Changing my phone language to Japanese (this one unfortunately is a bad advice. I recommend to stay away from this if you are still at N5)
Posters
Instagram and TikTok accounts of Japanese tutors
Websites (tofugu, human Japanese, Japanese tutors’ blogs)
Apps (wanikani, language reactor, bunpro)
Japanese grammar dictionaries
Assessment books
Discord or Reddit or forums
Japanese classes
There’s often this debate on which is better, Genki vs Minna vs Tae kim. If cost or ability to procure them is not an issue, why not use all of them? It’s okay to have one source as your primary source. Mine was Genki 1. But when I wanted to understand a nuance that Genki does not explain well enough, I’ll usually consult my other sources. And if I’m bored of Genki, I can easily switch to Tae Kim, for a change of scenery. If I don’t feel like reading, Misa or Tokiniandy is there for me.
My observation is that many people are usually only using one modality to acquire a new skill. This is causing their journey to be unnecessarily monotonous.

Sloppy learning and conjugations

One very integral component of the Japanese language is conjugation. It’s especially important for the N5. Conjugations can allow you to express many meaning in Japanese. Learning how to conjugate accurately is going to be a struggle for any beginner(think godan and ichidan verbs and conjugating to masu, te, negative forms, etc).
A lot of Japanese textbook and assessment will make you do drills. I skipped all of them. Rather than trying to brute force your way to memorizing conjugations I employ a technique called sloppy learning(this phrase is borrowed from “Japan Like A Breeze” on patreon). I define sloppy learning as learning just enough to acquire the essence of the concept.
For example, ,whether the verbs is in its polite form, short form, negative form or past tense form etc, can be easily recognised by looking at the last few syllabus of a word. If a words end on a “ta”, it must be past tense form. If it ends on a “masu” it must be the polite/long form. This concept can literally be understood in 5 mins.
Thus for me. When conjugating oyogu (泳ぐ）into past tense form, I just conjugate it as oyogu-ta (oyogu +ta) Or sometimes oyota. Now oyota is wrong of course. But that’s all I need at this stage. I desire to understand Japanese, not to get full marks on conjugation drill table. You must always try to look at the big picture. Trying to do well on conjugation drills is an opportunity cost. Ultimately one needs to judge what is worth spending effort on. Hence the idea of sloppy learning is to be deliberate about what to focus on.
Once I can consistently remember that masu means polite and ta meant past, this is where I try to conjugate them correctly. Conjugations is difficult because they all don’t behave like ru verbs. You cannot simply drop the ru at the end of a word and append ta or masu to them. Oyogu for example doesn’t even have a ru ending.
The path I chose was to hope that I can organically (I like this word a lot, but it also sometimes means magically) , know how to conjugate correctly one day. And to a certain extent I acquired some intuition on conjugations without any active involvement from my part. I soon became aware that if a word ends in a gu or a ku, then instead of a ta, it might be ita or ida.
The break through came on day 35. When I couldn’t endure the fact that I wasn’t able to magically acquire conjugation intuition for free. So i goggled “why are godan verbs conjugate the way they are”. And Tofugu came to the rescue.
Essentially they introduced three concepts (a) double consanent with small tsu, (b) assimilation with n, and (c)consonant removal. After that article, conjugating became a breeze. In hindsight, my ability to conjugate only costed me the time to read one tofugu article (and one month of passively intuiting the conjugation patterns) Because I did not spend time on conjugation drills, i was able to progress to the other grammatical points in Genki 1. I didn’t remain stuck in one place for too long.And this is another aspect of sloppy learning. You learn just enough to move on to the next level, you don’t aim for perfection.
Your brain can’t do everything at once. Your brain cannot remember that masu means polite form, and all the rules for conjugating verbs to masu in one sitting. If you try to do that, you can remain stuck, despite already understanding the general idea of conjugation. Better to move on and let the intuition develop. If you judge that the intuition is not going to progress or progress quickly enough, you can always intervene later by supplementing with new knowledge.

Mnemonics when I get something wrong too often

Often there will be a vocab or grammar point that I always can’t seem to latch on. No vague feelings, no guesses, just an empty mind. When this happens, it can be a scary feeling. It may feel like you are not good enough.
Really the solution is very simple. Just add one more inferential step. When I first encountered the word bengoshi（弁護士） , my mind does not produce any intuition or pictures or feelings. What I did was to create a mnemonic, a story. How to relate a lawyer to the sound ben go shi? I managed to came up with “when the judge announces his judgement, the bench(jury) goes “shhhh””Sorry, I know it’s really bad. But when I created that story, bengoshi never stumped me again.I’ve seen a lot of criticism of mnemonics that I don’t agree with

‘they are not for me”>>I’ve seen people said that Anki is not for me. Srs is not for me. While I believe in individual differences and effectiveness in different methodologies, I feel that sometimes people decide too quickly what is or isn’t for them. What is optimal may first have a learning curve in the beginning. And instead of saying that something is not for me and moving on to the next thing, we need to consider if it isn’t we ourselves that should change to make it fit for us.
“If I’m trying to memorize something, how does adding more things to remember help. Now I not only have to remember the word, but I need to remember the story to remember the word.”>> Between a story and a random string of number “89779012879” , the brain can remember the short story more easily than the string of number despite the story consisting of more words. It’s just how our brain works.

On active immersion

Active immersion means trying to pick up words or trying to understand what is being said in Japanese media like anime or novels. Passive immersion means enjoying the content without really worrying about improving your Japanese.
On day 21 I tried active immersion with Weathering with You. I came to the conclusion that active immersion is not efficient for the new learner. I can imagine myself doing a lot of sentence mining and active immersion in the future (spoiler, I’m now on day 70-80 and I’m immersing a lot more now). But definitely a hard no for me to recommend new comers as the only and primary form of learning Japanese.

Why textbook learning and structural learning is important for fast gains.

Textbook learning is great for fast gains because it prioritises for you. Textbooks are not prepared by a random person. They are usually prepared while respecting certain pedagogical principles in mind by a team of qualified academics. While appealing to authority doesn’t make it correct, we should at least be cognisant that the textbooks might be doing a few things right.
One of those pedagogical principles is incremental or progressive learning. Building knowledge upon what was previously learnt.
Another principle is foundational concepts. A textbook will usually introduce foundational concepts that act as a scaffold for everything else as early as possible. And because textbook learning is progressive, it means that the difficulty is always going to feel just about right. In active immersion the difficulty can be wild because it does not respect your level of Japanese proficiency.

Completing N5 in 30 days.

In this 30 days, I was not only learning Japanese, but also learning how to learn. They call it building a plane while flying it hahahah. The principles outlined here helped me to finish N5 content at an insane rate. I was spending about 6-8 hours a day on Japanese (in chunks). So one point not stated here is time. There's no way around time investment.
On the 30th day I did a lot of mock tests and I performed quite well (80-90% correct).When I started on N4 on day 31, I was really surprised by the bump in difficulty. I gave myself 30 days to clear N4. That was the hardest 30 days in my Japanese learning journey. I’m fact I had a better time when I was studying for N3 on day 65 onwards. In my next post I’ll share why N4 was harder than N5 and N3 for me and share some more insights. Hope this has been helpful in offering new perspectives. Thank you for reading this long rant of mine.

2023.06.04 16:41 alhamdu1i11a Screw EU5 I want a new game engine.

I'm a speed 5 gangsta. And with all this talk about Eu5 vs more DLC, I can't help but think the most frustrating thing about the game for me is how damn slow it runs. It's a 10 year old game; I have ryzen 3600 oc'd at 4.2ghz and an rtx 2070 and I can barely get 15 fps after 1600.
More than anything I want a better game engine - I've heard this one is poorly optimized for multithreaded CPU's.
Pls Fix Paradox.
If low fps is my fault lmk, what settings/tricks etc can I change to make it run faster?

2023.06.04 16:05 Nosky92 Stop Complaining About People’s Attention Spans

The problem isn’t that “everyone has a short attention span”.
The problem is that there is so much out there to watch/listen to/read, that it is not WORTH IT to consume media you aren’t enthusiastic about.
Think of your short form videos and tweets as the samples that prompt more of a time investment.
It’s not everyone who sees your 15 second reel that is going to find your longer form video/products and become a higher value prospect.
It’s a percentage.
If you tweak the content, you can make it more or less of a "filter" for genuine enthusiasm.
Some businesses have wide-spanning “low investment” content, and few mega fans.
Think of the % of people who see a Coca Cola ad, vs the people who have actually opted into the brand’s newsletter.
On the other end, influencers have built the dynamics to optimize for as many “invested” followers as possible.
The more niche and high intent the content is, the fewer but BETTER people you will have consuming it.
If your conversion action is heavy like this, the people who complete it are veritable “super fans”.
If your “second ask” (long form content, newsletter products, etc.) is EASY, you’ll get more people, and they will be less like “Superfans”.
It’s all very intuitive.
We have interests closer to our hearts, and topics we are less into.
This dynamic can be used by people on either side of that spectrum, to segment, test, and learn about the makeup and enthusiasm of an audience.

2023.06.04 16:03 vegicom Veganism VS Carnivore Which One is Better

It’s the clash of the dietary titans: veganism versus carnivore. You might wonder, “Wait, aren’t they complete opposites?”
But amidst all the noise and clashing opinions, the question remains: which is better? You might be trying to support one of these groups, but how much are you sure you’re right?
Join me as we explore the merits, drawbacks, and various considerations that come into play when comparing veganism and carnivore diets. Let the food fight begin!
Veganism has come a long way in recent years, and it’s no longer just a niche lifestyle choice.
Nowadays, you can find vegan options in almost every grocery store, and many restaurants have started offering delicious plant-based meals too.
But what about carnivores? If we put veganism vs. carnivore against each other, which is better?
Some people believe that veganism is more expensive than a carnivorous diet.
But hold your tofu dogs, my friend! While some specialty vegan products can be pricey, a plant-based diet can save you some green in the long run.
Staples like grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables are often cheaper than animal products.
Plus, there are plenty of budget-friendly recipes out there that can satisfy your taste buds without breaking the bank.
Let’s remember the ethical side of things. Veganism promotes compassion and respect for all living beings.
By choosing plant-based options, you’re standing up against animal cruelty and supporting a more humane way of living. That alone can bring a sense of fulfillment and joy to your life.
Picture this: you’re an athlete looking to boost your performance and achieve your full potential.
You might have heard some buzz about plant-based diets and wondered, “Can going vegan really compete with a carnivorous diet?”.
One of the common concerns people have is whether vegans can get enough protein to build strong muscles.
Well, fear not! Plant-based protein sources like beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, seitan, and even good old-fashioned quinoa are packed with protein.
These plant proteins provide all the essential amino acids your body needs to repair and build muscles.
Plus, they often come with the bonus of being low in saturated fat and cholesterol, making them heart-healthy choices.
But protein is just one piece of the puzzle. Vegan diets can also provide abundant vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants vital for optimal athletic performance.
Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds offer a plethora of nutrients, such as vitamin C, iron, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants like vitamin E.
This can be tricky when you try to find veganism vs. carnivore; which is better?
Proponents of the carnivore diet argue that it can lead to weight loss, improved mental clarity, and reduced inflammation.
However, it’s important to note that scientific research on the long-term effects of this diet could be more extensive.
One of the potential health risks associated with a carnivore diet is nutrient deficiencies. Since plant foods are excluded, important nutrients like fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can become scarce.
Another concern is the high intake of saturated fat and cholesterol in a carnivore diet, which can increase the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular issues.
Additionally, the absence of dietary fiber can affect the gut microbiome negatively. Our gut buddies, the beneficial bacteria in our intestines, thrive on a diet rich in plant foods.
Without those fibers, the diversity and balance of our gut microbiome can be compromised, potentially leading to digestive problems.
Not easy, huh? On the one hand, our furry friends deserve to live a life free from harm and suffering.
On the other hand, we have our dietary requirements as human beings. So, how do we navigate this moral maze?
Let’s start with veganism. This dietary choice is about saying no to animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and honey.
Vegans argue that animals have their rights to life and freedom, just like we do.
By adopting a vegan lifestyle, we can drastically reduce the demand for animal products and the harm caused to animals in the food industry.
Some folks might argue that a carnivorous diet is more natural for humans. After all, our ancestors used to hunt and eat meat, right?
Recent scientific research suggests that a well-planned vegan diet can meet all our nutritional needs just fine.
Buckle up because we’re diving into veganism versus carnivore diets. And yes, I’m a big supporter of veganism, so prepare for some plant-powered enthusiasm!
Considering you are a carnivore, what do you think is the result of veganism vs. carnivore? List your reasons to see if you are right.
Let’s start with greenhouse gas emissions. Animal agriculture, especially livestock production, is responsible for many global emissions.
Cows, for instance, release methane gas, a potent greenhouse gas contributing to climate change.
Water usage is another issue. Animal agriculture requires a huge amount of water.
From growing animal feed to providing water for the animals, it’s like a never-ending thirst quencher.
And with water scarcity becoming a serious concern, we must rethink our priorities.
Certain nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids are harder to access on a vegan diet.
However, with proper planning and attention to nutrition, getting all the necessary nutrients from plant-based sources or fortified foods is possible.
Some people believe being vegan means being perfect and avoiding all animal products. However, veganism is about doing the best you can to reduce harm. It’s a journey, and everyone starts somewhere.
Now, let’s briefly touch on carnivory, the opposite end of the spectrum. Carnivory is the practice of consuming an animal-based diet exclusively.
Firstly, the meat industry has a significant environmental footprint. Animal agriculture contributes to deforestation, water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and biodiversity loss.
Secondly, from an ethical standpoint, many vegans advocate for the rights and welfare of animals. The mass production of animals for food often involves factory farming, where animals are subjected to overcrowded and inhumane conditions.
So, what are the health benefits? Well, research suggests that a plant-based diet can positively affect your well-being.
First, it tends to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than a carnivorous diet. This can help lower the risk of heart disease and promote better cardiovascular health.
Plants are also fiber-rich, which can keep your digestion happy and may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, such as colon cancer.
Now, let’s talk about veganism. Vegans take the plant-based diet to the next level by excluding all animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and even honey.
On the other hand, I am not happy to say that excessive use of red and processed meats can easily cause an increased risk of certain diseases, such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, and even type 2 diabetes.
Regarding ethics and animal welfare, veganism shines as a compassionate approach.
Vegans believe in minimizing harm to animals as much as possible, excluding animal products from their diet and lifestyle.
Veganism is all about recognizing the inherent value and rights of animals. It’s about acknowledging that they can feel pain, experience emotions, and have their interests.
While respecting people’s dietary choices is important, it’s worth considering the ethical implications.
The carnivore diet is often based on ancestral eating habits and the belief that humans are meant to eat a diet primarily composed of animal products.
Choosing a carnivorous diet might inadvertently contribute to the suffering of animals, as it increases the demand for meat, dairy, and other animal-derived products.
Choosing between veganism and a carnivorous diet ultimately boils down to personal values and priorities.

2023.06.04 16:02 BeleagueredTreasurer [UK] Will be getting laid off in the next 6 to 9 months. I am looking for a new Finance role but am having real problems with getting anything that isn't in Accounts Payable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Background:

30 years old
Currently working in a senior Accounts Payable role.
On the autism spectrum
Fully AAT qualified (MAAT), currently studying ACCA and due to sit my first Applied Skills exam in a few days.

I am making this post to both ask for some help/advice with finding a new job, and to get everything that's happened over the last fifteen months off my chest, because my experience has honestly been demoralizing to the point where I find myself no longer wanting to work in accountancy.
Recently, my employer announced that it was looking to outsource most of their Finance department and make loads of people redundant. The reasoning isn't necessarily a financial one.
To tell you the truth, this place has honestly been one of the worst employers I've ever worked for and I could be here all day writing a huge list of grievances but I'll summarize. It's a mix of things like low pay, a draconian annual leave policy where a whole 30% of the calendar year is strictly off-limits for booking holiday, abnormally high workloads, awful ERP systems that continually crash, having a massively high employee turnover rate, making loads of desperation hires who can't even do basic things in Excel and expecting me to train them on no additional pay, dangling further progression over me like a carrot on a stick, refusing to fund anything higher than AAT for Accounts Payable staff (when I joined on the basis of my employer offering study support), etc.
Also... on the subject of the desperation hires. I raised burnout issues nine months ago and instead of adopting any suggestions I made to ease my workload, they hired an underqualified replacement, made me take the brunt of training them, then moved me to a different list of suppliers, only to announce that they were hiring an entire small team of people to look after the subledger of suppliers I used to.
This is the fourth Finance role I've worked in and to tell you the truth, I hate working in AP. It's thankless, it reminds me of the days when I was a minimum wage phone monkey, and it feels like an afterthought to many businesses, including my current employer. On top of this I'm sick of being continually pigeonholed into AP roles by every single recruiter I speak to and I feel like nobody else working in finance takes me seriously. Any time I actually go for a position outside of it I get flat-out rejected.
The only two reasons I've stayed as long as I have are because I'm shackled to a lengthy notice period (6 weeks basically makes you unemployable, some people in my department are on worse) and because the redundancy package I'll receive if I stay the full 6 - 9 months before being laid off is generous to the point where it's making me consider whether to halt my job search for now.
My concern isn't necessarily the money. It's that I've worked for 2.5 years in Accounts Payable roles and want to move on to something more relevant to my qualifications. I've also had enough of coming home from work mentally and physically exhausted. My experiences are honestly making me reconsider whether I want to continue working in Finance or move to a different field entirely.
Put it this way, I didn't spend several years studying three levels of AAT and gaining my full accounting technician qualifications so that I could earn less than a warehouse worker...
How do you get out of being typecasted into Accounts Payable?

2023.06.04 15:49 MayorOfKirkstanistan Shift & Turn vs. Stack & Tilt: My instructor's take

So I'm taking weekly lessons this year in an effort to go from low single digits to even lower single digits, and part of the plan of attack is weekly lessons, which I've actually never done (previously I would just ask for a lesson when I was struggling). We like to talk swing philosophy so I took the opportunity on Friday to ask his opinion on the modern shift & turn swing versus stack & tilt. I have never loved stack & tilt and kind of assumed he didn't teach it because he clearly wasn't teaching it to me. However, that assumption was wrong. He does teach it to some students. Here is my best paraphrase of what he said:
Stack and tilt is something he does teach, but it's primarily taught to someone who picks the game up later in life and didn't play sports growing up that promoted hand eye coordination. For example, an ex baseball player who picks the game up at 30 and is still reasonably athletic he would not teach stack and tilt to. For some though, stack and tilt can be "simpler" in ways and can get them hitting the ball better in shorter order.
The big reason he doesn't teach stack and tilt primarily is that he sees it as a ceiling limiter. He doesn't think the ceiling is the same for an athletic person using shift & turn vs. stack and tilt. The person who is using stack and tilt will primarily be at a disadvantage distance wise. There's nothing to say you can't be incredibly accurate and "good" with stack and tilt, but distance matters so it's not a philosophy you see being taught to the young athletes starting up. This is especially true if their goal is competitive high school golf potentially followed by competitive college golf.
Would love to hear if other instructors on here (I know there's a few of you) agree with this take. Again, I am paraphrasing, so I hope I represented his views well but it's certainly possible I misinterpreted or misunderstood something.

2023.06.04 15:20 Competitive-Ad-247 Recovery %

Friday I had a weird sleep day. Had a 2.5 hr nap after work by accident lol which played in my favour because I was going out that night. This lowered my sleep need to 4.5 hrs. Ended up going to bed at 2am and waking up at 7:30am. No alcohol was consumed that night. Accumulated a strain of 7.7 for Friday (it was a rest day).
Woke up with a decent recovery (70%) on Saturday. Had a pretty strenuous workout and accumulated a 16 strain on the day.
I had more sleep need for Saturday night (8 hrs) which I hit (8.5 hrs). Woke up with a lower rhr (49 vs 51), same hrv (92 both days)...but lower recovery score? Anyone know why that might be? It's just weird to me because I feel like my numbers would reflect a better recovery for today?
Thanks in advance!

2023.06.04 14:27 Little-Blueberry7441 Is it worth continuing?

We are currently combo feeding with formula and pumped breast milk (no longer breastfeeding for a variety of reasons). I have what I understand to be a very low supply (0.5oz total per 20min pump session every 3 hours during awake hours with one overnight session). It's so much work for such little output. My baby is 3 weeks old and will eat 3-4oz about every 3 hours. I feel like what I make vs what baby eats is negligible. I've worked with lactation consultants who don't have an explanation for the low supply. I've tried power pumping to increase supply which helped somewhat but had to put power pumping on hold due to nipple pain/sensitivity, clogged milk ducts etc. Every time I sit down to pump, I just end up questioning if all the effort is worth it.

2023.06.04 14:22 Andoni95 N5 from zero in 30 days (Reflections, methodologies, and pedagogy)

Introduction

I started learning Japanese on March 22 2023. At the time of writing, It has been about 70-80 days since. Currently I would place myself at N3 level. I became very inspired to study Japanese after (a) visiting Niseko (Hokkaido) and (b) reading a post on Reddit about someone who claims to pass N1 from zero in 8.5 months.
The purpose of this post is to offer (a) alternative perspectives to learning Japanese, (b) prove that it is possible to learn quickly, (c) challenge some of the existing recommendations. This post is part one out of eight articles detailing my journey to N1 from zero in 8 months. Disclaimer, this post will be very long and ranty!
This post will cover some of the study techniques and experiments I’ve conducted for the first month, as well as the results of my experimentation and insights. As for the elephant in the room, I’m currently studying N3 after 60+ days into my Japanese learning journey. I’m sure many are skeptical or might presume that I have bad mastery of N5 and N4 content, but by the end of the post, I’m confident that I would have responded to them.

Prior Knowledge

While your brain can only hold 7-9 items in the short term memory at once, it does not mean you cannot study more than 9 items in a day.

Self-fulfilling prophecy

How I use Anki

From my survey on Reddit, it seems that people get overwhelm by the amount of reviews on Anki. And I think this reveals that the are doing reviews differently from how I do it.
When I do my Anki reviews, I only entertain two state of minds when marking the flash cards. The first is I know the answer (the answer pops into my brain instantaneously) and the second is I don’t know the answer (mind is blank). I do not try to recall the answer. Recalling takes time. If I try to recall the answer, it might take me upwards of a minute or two to remember it (and even then, I might still be wrong). Instead i like my Anki reviews to be snappy. It feels like I take about a fraction of a second to answer my Anki cards, although the Anki statistics tells me that I take 4second per card. Still fast either way. At 4s/card I can do 900 reviews in one hour.
Next is how I use Easy, Good, Again and Hard. The rule of thumb is to be more liberal than strict. I try to use Easy, instead of Good as much as I can because I don’t want my reviews to pile up. I almost never use Hard even if I get the card completely wrong. Speaking of reviews pilling up, we need to define what marking an Anki item as Good or Easy means to me.
For a lot of people it means aiming for perfection. That means that the person only click Easy or Good if his answer exactly matches the back side of the card. For myself I set an extremely low bar, as long the vague feeling of what I think the answer is somewhat matches the answer on the back side, I’m happy to give it a Good at least. Why? Because it’s the nature of Anki or SRS system to return cards you previously click Easy and Good. I don’t have to worry about being too forgiving on myself and being ignorant about the fact because I can always count on the card to return eventually. And if I a card I previously marked as Good, came back, and feels difficult, I would then make a mental note to study it in greater detail. Secondly, a lot of the 700 words in a typical N5 vocab deck are so common that you will encounter them all the time in the wild. This is called organic or natural SRS. If you are strict on your Anki at this stage, it can be quite an overkill in hindsight. Of course it may not feel like an overkill in the beginning because you are still gettting cards wrong.

Burnt out

Okay what about burnout. Surely I might be overdoing it, and wouldn’t burnout eventually catch up to me. Yes and no. I think the phenomenon of burnout is highly exaggerated. I don’t like to use the word burnt out whenever I’m feeling “burnt out” because it has a lot of negative connotations and because negative connotations can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. Instead, I prefer to use the phrase, “I’m tired now”. I kind of compare myself to Shonen protagonists where there’s this big villain coming up and then some special training to level up. The special training is usually quite intense, and sometimes dangerous, and they will eventually be quite tired by the end of the training. But these protagonists always reemerge stronger with new abilities and can now overcome stronger foes.
Similarly, whenever I study too much, I would just acknowledge that I’m tired, watch some anime and something different. I’m usually okay by the next morning. I attribute my ability to resist burn out my thoughts and attitude.

Consistency, multimodality learning, and resourcefulness

I only believe in one kind of consistency, and that is that you have to show up almost every day. But I don’t believe in the kind of consistency that requires me to be on a 365-day Anki/wanikani/immersion streak. This is also one factor that helps to protect burn out. When I feel like doing textbook learning, that’s what I’m going to do. If want to do pure Bunpro and Anki for the next 3 days without reading any textbook, that’s what I’ll do.
I also believe in the idea of multimodality learning. I use everything at my disposal:
All the textbooks (Genki, Minna no nihongo, Tae Kim)
YouTube videos (Misa ammo, game gengo, tokiniandy)
Podcast
Songs
Doing active immersion with anime
Changing my phone language to Japanese (this one unfortunately is a bad advice. I recommend to stay away from this if you are still at N5)
Posters
Instagram and TikTok accounts of Japanese tutors
Websites (tofugu, human Japanese, Japanese tutors’ blogs)
Apps (wanikani, language reactor, bunpro)
Japanese grammar dictionaries
Assessment books
Discord or Reddit or forums
Japanese classes
There’s often this debate on which is better, Genki vs Minna vs Tae kim. If cost or ability to procure them is not an issue, why not use all of them? It’s okay to have one source as your primary source. Mine was Genki 1. But when I wanted to understand a nuance that Genki does not explain well enough, I’ll usually consult my other sources. And if I’m bored of Genki, I can easily switch to Tae Kim, for a change of scenery. If I don’t feel like reading, Misa or Tokiniandy is there for me.
My observation is that many people are usually only using one modality to acquire a new skill. This is causing their journey to be unnecessarily monotonous.

Sloppy learning and conjugations

Mnemonics when I get something wrong too often

‘they are not for me”>>I’ve seen people said that Anki is not for me. Srs is not for me. While I believe in individual differences and effectiveness in different methodologies, I feel that sometimes people decide too quickly what is or isn’t for them. What is optimal may first have a learning curve in the beginning. And instead of saying that something is not for me and moving on to the next thing, we need to consider if it isn’t we ourselves that should change to make it fit for us.
“If I’m trying to memorize something, how does adding more things to remember help. Now I not only have to remember the word, but I need to remember the story to remember the word.”>> Between a story and a random string of number “89779012879” , the brain can remember the short story more easily than the string of number despite the story consisting of more words. It’s just how our brain works.

On active immersion

Why textbook learning and structural learning is important for fast gains.

Completing N5 in 30 days.

my studying regime for the first 30 day
the kanji problem (this one i struggled to settle on a study method. i was trying a lot of different strategies)
the psychological lived experience of studying japanese. the truth is, there is another battlefield happening in the mind realm. i often have self doubt and fear creeping. knowing how to address them is essential to a happy journey.
engaging in the larger conversation between Taekim, Curedolly, Refold, All japanese all the time, Moeway, immersion schools of thought, matt vs japan etc etc. I feel that a lot of my fundamental beleifs regarding where i stand can be glimpsed in this post. but i want to make my beliefs explict.

I will try to share more in the next post. If you have any questions on the specifics, I'll be there at the comment section ^^

2023.06.04 14:00 Grilledcheesing Enough is enough. Let's all turn this around.

Freedom protestors = those who believe Canada's policies are becoming more and more authoritarian.
It is possible to support/ be neutral to 18+ same sex or other romantic relationships, sexual preferences, gender identity preferences and NOT WANT IT PART OF AN ACADEMIC CURRICULUM for those under 18.
It doesn't make you a bigot, Neanderthal, idiot, or cult member, etc.
Parents have a right to educate their children as they see fit so if your preference is to teach them about these other types of relationships and identity notions then you CAN and should do so at home.
There is a time and place for all learning and I believe schools should not touch these subjects regardless of which "side" you land on.
The entire curriculum needs an overhaul regardless in order to help the kids become more self reliant, critical thinkers with a focus on academic subjects etc.
Let's focus! We can get out of the "them vs us" mentality. It is narrow minded, no matter which way you spin it.
I'm begging everyone to stop generalizing "BOTH SIDES" of this equation. This is only dividing the human race further and keeping us stuck.
Current important issues in Ontario. +Housing crises +Homelessness +Nursing shortage /Healthcare crises +Mental health crises +Drug crises +Poor schooling curriculum
Some proposed solutions +Reducing incentive to be corrupt**** +A collectively agreed upon great curriculum (let's look to academically successful countries for some inspiration) +Fair wages and access to nursing/doctor education/more funding into public healthcare +Better social and emotional programs for youth and adults +Lowering hydro, internet costs, water costs +More affordable housing for low-medium income +More cultural and community events for all ages and humans +Shorter work week for balance +No student debt or FAIR tuition fees. Etc
Please chime in with more suggestions and solutions to make our city, province and country a better place to live.
We the people, need more trust in each other. This means we all take personal pride and responsibility into being moral upstanding citizens, being safe adults, guiding our youth by being proper examples.
Can we work on making our region better and stop getting distracted and divided?
Please don't distract and divide in the comment section. If you insist, please provide (minimum one) non-sarcastic, specific solution for your proposed issue.
Thank you for considering another way.

Hi everyone, I got this psu for about 6 years now and 4090 from october last year. Regarding 12v rail, there are readings from the motherboard, 4090 and my psu(corsair hxi feature) using hwinfo64. 3 of them have different readings, my mobo reading can go as low as 11.4v under heavy load, the 4090 can go as low as 11.5 v under gt2 time spy extreme, meanwhile in the psu reading only show the voltage drop only go as low as 11.96v.
I don't know what to trust because that mobo and 4090 readings is pretty on the edge tho.
