Not related to Japanese, but to large numbers in general: I just learned that there are to scales for billions - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

Here in Italy Telegram is slowly gaining traction. Even the municipality in my city uses it (for traffic notices and other warnings), very useful. Bonus points: bots, Gif search an…

I still own&use one; I upgraded SSD and ram an it is still pretty ok for small web dev and internet browsing.

Manual car with start&stop owner here; I always use it when driving in the city, so do all of my friends. It's just slightly uncomfortable the first times, when you have to train y…

That, and the integrated gifbot. My teenage sister went crazy when I showed her how to search for stickers.

They aren't. This is the Italian police investigating Italian products.

Thank you, I didn't know that. Do you think that there are key differences between the two?

I don't see the news here. Shirataki is quite popular and quite easily found. I think it became popular with the Dukan diet.

I like Lea Verou: http://lea.verou.me and Nicole Sullivan: http://www.stubbornella.org/content/

Is that available in the US only?

I think he's from Slovakia, which is part of the EU.

...and it's also strange that people read it voluntarily, and not forced by the school. I hated it so much back then, although Inferno was kinda fun.

It happens to me a lot! And sometimes I can't find words in neither of my languages, and then turn to English (which is strange, since I learned English at a later point).

I know it's hard. I know that you think that everything sucks, because I used to think that, too. But there is passionate people around you, there are good companies, there is an i…

They come very cheaply (or for free) with most phone operators.
