I don't really know what the regulatory deal is, but on my block there's a 7-11 and a fancy organic store. The 7-11 sells CBD gummies (and kratom, and Soylent...), and the fancy organic store sells CBD coffee. Has there been a pro

Consider the possibility that turning Youtube into Google News is the goal of the people who talk like this. The internet democratized publishing. That made a lot of people unhappy - not just because of nonsense like Q, but because it let

Went there to check if Twitch was listed. Twitch chat runs on IRC, or at least can be connected to with an IRC client - are they involved with the ecosystem?

I've noticed that search results in the closest thing I have to a field (linguistics) are usually not very good unless I already know exactly what I'm looking for. If I search for information on some language, unless it's v

Flash. The transition to JS + canvas wasn't too bad for games, although JS games can't be distributed as single files, but for animation I don't think there's anything like it anymore. And we forget how much of early int

Some roads were shut down for construction near where I work a few months ago. Uber and Lyft don't seem to take data like that into account, so I had a hell of a time getting home from work - I'd have two or three canceled rides b

Most of the computational methods stuff I see in historical linguistics is about trying to put a computational gloss over lexicostatistics, which I don't think is a very promising field. Preliminary surveys of probable family groupings

Not even close, but it's an unusually easy field to follow from outside academia.

Are there any probable cases of laryngeal alternation? I'm not aware of any. Radical consonants (which the PIE laryngeals probably were) can be stable under certain conditions and unstable under others - they seem to be less stable in

h1eǵhs can't be related to h2eǵ-, since the laryngeals and plosive phonations are different. The plosive phonation distinction isn't as relevant here as the laryngeals - for one thing, the reconstruction h1eǵhs isn't certai

It helps if you're tired. I'm not sure if it helps with focus or if most people just have dismal sleep quality.

Yes, modafinil. The majority of the people I know use it. (So do I, but that's because I work an overnight shift... maybe once I finish this side project I'll be able to land a nice 9-5 software job.)
