What you are discussing is called linguistic topology and it is far from estalished fact that Spanish is the easiest. I studied the topic but from the perspective of Arabic language instruction for native speakers of English and other lang

StumpWM window manager, the successor to Ratpoison. Both are awesome (obvious disclaimer: I use both). Not on Github per se, but still awesome.

Well, those Sysinternals tools were open source before MSFT acquired them. If you want to see the magic before MSFT force it behind the wall, here you go. https://code.google.com/p/akeo/downloads/detail?name=s

But the irony for me was, as a language and linguistics major, I liked the difficulty of CS because this was not in my grasp. I ended up in IT, and I routinely tell people how I failed a midterm in Intro to C++, I had to wind out like a 30

As an IT guy in a university (a satellite campus of US university to be more specific), this shit would not be kosher. We evaluate crap for our people because this school is far from a tech school, and we would never be able to get this ou

And now, you can even have Erlang without the syntax, a la Elixir. But as a novice, I do not understand people whining and whinging about syntax in language X or Y. Every language makes choices, and lots of those choices are emphasized by

Meh, I knew library technologists. None of them had any marketable skills for automation. It was a med library, so they knew the intersection of library sciences and a lot about medicine, but few of them could even conceive of editing the

Funny, I saw this myself years ago with a med school library, where the problem was more severe and with like every paper resource they had. But it was interesting problem. Unlike normal libraries, they are so digital they run into a new p

I ran a whole lab of Litestep customized for a library once. I loved it. Later on, when I got into Linux, I fell in love again with the more exotic WM's largely because of my experience with Litestep. I have to admin Winboxen all day

As a proud NJ-raised kid, I can confirm hat others say about Newark, but with my own personal spin: Newark is a shithole, and no amount of money will fix that problem.

Oh oh oh. Now I look like an ass. When I read the Wikipedia article, I thought the transcription meant x->خ, but I guess you show why one must, like a programmer, continue to use IPA consistently or forget only to make very embarrassin

I also use the word sugar and safari in English. The origins of both these words are well-attested. I know they are both Afro-Asiatic languages, but on different ends of the spectrum (Arabic is a not Cushitic language). It could be an ori

I get into it later in my comment: it must be an original concept because no loan words are used in the Somali legal terminology, I point out that might not be true.

I also find the name somewhat ironic. Xeer clearly comes from خير, or khayr, which is Arabic for good. It is good, but in the higher moralistic and religious sense in addition to the normal sense. So I wonder if it goes back to original i

I see no mention of Google Sharing, which is interesting, cuz I have been using that for two or more years now. Just do not use the default googlesharing.net. The link says it is gone, but in fact is now corporately owned for what I imagi

Nice to see work with ARM on the SBCL. Now that I use StumpWM, I went with Clozure Lisp because it has had a ARM port for a while, enabling me to move over to a Raspberry Pi when I am ready. More on target, Khuong's writing and topics

Since no one has said so yet, and I quickly searched the comments, the answer is basically a language called Nimrod. It shows up here a lot, and not many people use it still. Time will tell.

Racket is so much fun. A single rkt file to C++ transpiler? Awesome stuff. Anyone who has done things like this before: is it peformant? The Racket documentation mentions against compiling out C/C++ sources it can emit, because it m

For some reason, it took me one or two minutes of rereading to realize it was ack, not awk. I think this website was going to be some ironic trash-talking about grep. Then I saw "written in Perl" and I got so confused my head al

Did they find a developer to replace the last guy? He wanted out and needed someone to pick up the slack. I thought it is worth noting here. That was a while ago. So is the project still alive and kicking? http://www.vbox.me&

Please keep it up. I go through the motions of reading about many different languages and technologies, and seeing your HN comments about your Guile work keep me coming back.

Yes, most shells are UTF-8 aware, but terminals are largely not Bidi-encoding aware. Bidi, short for birectional, is what allows you to use left-to-right and right-to-left (Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Pashto, Urdu, etc.) and read/write bot

Sorry, I am an idiot. I thought in context you were indicating you did so with US passports. Ignore my know-it-all attitude.

by 616c 12y ago
I would not mention this ever on forums. You could at most have two passports at the same time from the US for reasons you describe, and the paperwork is very specific about surrendering the second the moment you are done with it. So it is
