This is a great idea and I’m going to order one for my parent’s rental house. Really nice job! As constructive feedback I really wish the favorite places list showed the address of…

Unfortunately, no—by the statute the company’s name must include the string ‘Limited Liability Company’ or ‘LLC’ [1]. Practically speaking it would be impossible for anyone dealing…

Using or not using a regex to validate email addresses misses the point. You should simply be delegating this task to the library that you’re using to send mail in the first place.…

Japanese has a relatively small phoneme inventory, and luckily for English speakers it’s mostly a subset of the English inventory, but there are a few allophonic variations that we…

Japanese and Korean are actually not phylogenically related. In fact they’re both generally considered to be language isolates, which means they don’t seem to be related to any oth…

Actually, that’s more or less how the phonology of languages change internally over long periods of time [1]: sets of phonemes merge, split, appear, and disappear. The particular f…

Yes, I’m aware that he died, but since it’s still up I was thinking that arguably he still has it? I actually was going to say ‘had’ but I felt that would incorrectly imply that it…

Interestingly enough, ancient Greek [1] did happen to be tonal even though modern Greek is not. More specifically, it had had pitch accent [2] which is somewhat different than full…

Yes, that’s exactly the same problem illustrated the other way around. Japanese speakers also fail to make the /l/ and /r/ distinction and it’s a rather stereotypical feature of a …

Having an alphabet, as it does, Korean indeed isn’t hard to learn to read and write. The difficulty is learning how to pronounce it properly—it has a number of distinct consonants …

Hey, would you be kind enough to email me? My address is in my profile. I’ve been looking for a Hindi speaker of Korean for a while. I’d love to ask you a few questions if you have…

I actually don’t use Stack Overflow as a contributor for precisely the same reason: I created my account with an OpenID, the provider is no longer around, and now I can’t log in no…

You’re in good company. The rising tone at the end of a sentence used in a non-interrogative context is called uptalk or a high rising terminal [1]. Its increased use has been a fa…

It’s an excellent name. It’s not supposed to be proper grammar—that’s part of the playfulness of it. It’s not a sentence, it’s a name. What you’re saying is like saying ‘Flickr’ is…

Whoa—I can’t believe this #cache_key and :touch stuff was introduced years ago and I somehow completely missed it. This is the most useful and elegant thing ever!

Are you defining dependencies between the keys somehow so that keys invalidated further down in the hierarchy propagate up to invalidations all the way up the stack?

I am completely, wholeheartedly, emphatically, and unabashedly in favor of finally bringing control over OpenType features to CSS—finally!! But this syntax they’ve come up with is …

Those aren’t f’s, they’re long s’s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s . You should read up on typography before decrying things about it. Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typo…

The comments here are generally calling these “old-style” figures, but—while I’m aware that this is what some people call them—I think the term is a poor one. The old-style figures…

You presume that the point about them being greedy or immoral is invalid Yeah, I am presuming it—because I just laid out how what they’re doing is not necessarily driven by greed o…

That’s an interesting point, and I’d like to read that article, but I think it’d be highly situationally dependent on the particular brand and you’d have to know their internal sal…

No, I don’t think that’s the reason why fashion brands are against knock-offs. They don’t necessarily expect that everyone who buys a counterfeit will buy the real thing. Instead, …

God doesn’t exist: it’s simply an interjection. One that expresses my gladness over the death of someone who is legitimately an evil person.

Thank god.

Hey Larry, I'd love to chat too if you have the time—my email’s in my profile. Thanks!
