Neighboring Sounds is my favourite. It's the only movie I've ever watched that captures the psychology of living in a violent city: the mental load of constantly being in fear that something might happen to you, likely not today, but probably someday.

Weird post. Do dropped connections happen often enough that your users are inconvenienced about it? If not, why overcomplicate? SSE + polling for cached output as plan b is just fine for most people.


This is also my struggle. I've come up with a million ways to cope, but it makes me sad to think of the wasted potential: all the projects I never started, hobbies I never picked up, courses I never finished, books I never read


In their blog post, Coursera claims: "we will not support the financial or reputational benefit of Russian instructors or institutions on Coursera while this tragedy is taking place, nor will we look to profit from doing business in the region amid this humanitarian crisis. As a result we are suspending all business in Russia."

However, they responded to criticism in a related linkedin post by stating: "United States export control regulations prohibit U.S. businesses, such as Coursera, from offering services to users in specific sanctioned regions. You can learn more about these restrictions in our Learner Help Center"

It seems to me that they forced not to do business with Russia by the sanctions, but tried to portray it as their own choice. What do you guys think about this?
