I don't speak Korean, but I'm a language nerd. Sometimes for fun I write Finnish in the Hangul alphabet in my journal (requires some approximation/adaptation).

I think it's best for universities to train their own future researchers. Research, science, and the university's own core goals should be the focus of teaching. Anything that spil…

Similar situation in Finland. There have only recently been some consequences for the berry companies and reforms are underway. The pickers would come mainly from Thailand with tou…

Disks are magnetic. The optical kind are discs.

I have one stashed away. Bought it from a Dutch importer in the late 2000s. I also ran OpenBSD on it for a while.

They are deliberately not looking at coreutils code because the Rust versions are released as MIT and they don't want the project contaminated by GPL. I am not fond of this, person…

I used to run Gnome on 8 MB in the late 90s

Finnish case markers vary a lot from word to word, because of not only vowel harmony but other features of the word stem, and consonant gradation which is a weird feature of Uralic…

Essentially you could write equivalent code as (vähennä 5:ttä 3:lla) in Finnish

I haven't had any meat in about 20 years. But I also don't live in the US.

But that's what Linux distros are for, package maintainers watch the CVEs for you, and all you have to do is "apt upgrade"

On mine, I don't. Any interactivity is too much hassle for me to worry about wrt moderation etc. I also don't particularly care what random people have to say. If my friends like w…

Or even just a microsecond emergency.

Will the time it takes you to answer depend on the mass of the person asking?
