That has nothing to do with manifest destiny or even the average American. People are almost completely unaware of how many bases we have abroad, etc. You are trying to paint a por…

They're still collecting that data regardless. I would rather use DDG for that purpose alone.

I’ve been using Zoho’s workplace for over a year now, no complaints. I use Thunderbird on Arch/Windows 10, Airmail on OSX, and Outlook on iOS. I just got it for email hosting at $3…

No, but that at least would be interesting, since it would be playing using the same mechanics as a human, and with the same limitations (of the camera, etc). Not using an API.

Because ~200ms reaction time isn't exactly accurate when people are comparing focus on one action versus focusing on many things at once. Reaction time is going to be delayed then …

That doesn't account for focusing on other things. There are a multitude of things to take into account while playing dota that can pull your attention; you can't always directly f…

What citations do you want me to provide? This is purely theoretical discussion. Do I need to cite that after millennia, we still have different languages? Do I really to dig up so…

This never will happen. People will never agree to upending their culture and language, even in supposed interests of humanity. [Whether this would actually work is arguable]. > Yo…

With phonetic systems like Japanese and Korean, terms like this regularly get represented as-is in the script. Sometimes they don't get translated, as you can see plenty of jargon …

> perversions that it's still acceptable to demonize, namely pedophilia. The wording here implies that we shouldn't be demonizing things like pedophilia, or that somehow, we needed…

It's easy to run your own instance. Mastodon provides a docker image, provided you have a server or VPS that can handle its asset compilation. I think you can get by with 2gb minim…

It depends on where you look and who you follow. Swifter.at became a refuge for sex workers and is one of the larger instances. However, you can filter instances, and/or sign up on…

Good thing Crystal based its syntax off of Ruby then. And it's statically typed, thank god . I do professional work in Ruby currently, but Crystal is just so much more pleasant to …

I've run into this myself, so I'm working on creating an instance that's a bit more geared towards engineering / tech discussion. It's nyquist.space [1] if you're interested. It's …

Mastodon.social has over 150k users, and there are other large non-Japanese instances. [1] After the SESTA / FOSTA bills, switter.at also became a huge instance for sex workers. Th…

Certainly not at you, but at the comment you replied to and a lot of comments whenever linguistics-related topics come up here.

That is not in any shape or fashion how languages are made. Language will never be logical, because humans are not logical.

> spelling words in such pointless ways Define "pointless". Each word has its own etymology, and if we're going to be honest here, the different spellings aren't _that_ complicated…

Something that HN readers often don't understand is that being an engineer or having advanced understanding of a field does not equate having an understanding of linguistics, despi…

People keep on misusing "brutalist". This isn't brutalist whatsoever, it's anti-design. [1] [1]: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/brutalism-antidesign/

Networking. In Meatspace, not on the internet. I got a client from attending my local monthly meetup group, and I got emailed today about work from someone I met at a local confere…

The title of this should really be the tagline of the linked article: The idea of “cultural appropriation” is a silly, harmful concept. Bin it

You don't need to revert your commits if you made them on the wrong branch. [1] Additionally, you don't need to do anything other than forking the repo on Github. [2] Git is a bit …

You can see it on their gitlab instance. [1] Mastodon and Pleroma are both part of the Fediverse [2]. They work with any software that works with OStatus and the newer ActivityPub.…
