I always feel a little jealous of religious people when they do these things. I guess us secularised, atomised people should just make our own.

I dont think reading will be much easier. A modern English speaker - assuming he is well read, will know things like "sooth", "quoth", "art thou", "ere", "sayeth"... I feel knowing this stuf

My friend from the UK bought it and it got sent from somewhere locakly. I am in NZ and mine was sent from AU. So I think you should be covered.

SPOILERS: if you give the last section, from 1000 AD, some more modern orthography, and applying a few modern sound changes, it may start to look more understandable. ___ The original: And þæt heo sægde wæs eall soþ. Ic ƿifode on hire, and

co-sign this. Oswald the Bear is an amazing book and taught me how to read Old English remarkably quickly. The first chapter is like a book for toddlers in Old English (with questions and loads of repeated vocab), and each chapter gets a bi

Really? I read German (not at a very high level anymore admittedly), and I find that while Old English is closer to German than modern English is, I would still say a deep knowledge of Modern English helps me more, and that most things have

This is a textbook case of German Schuldstolz - you feel having been militaristic and having mass human right abuses entitles you to lecture others. All you learned in the last centuries and a half is that you dont have the logistics to fig

How could German history have taught you anything about human dignity? You went from a military dictatorship to an unstable republic to a fascist state, then you split into military occupation zones, and then one of your military occupation

I think if you come from a German context the concept of free speech is probably strange to you in general - because no one in living memory has ever had it. Not in Weimar, not in the Nazi period, not in East Germany and not in the Federal

Better than the alternative where they don't, I suppose. Kind of like how for some political things you have to use yandex to search because US search companies suppress the results.

Wait, your operating theory on why the NSDAP became popular is because they... tricked everyone into hating jews? You are not only entirely misunderstanding why the NSDAP appealed to people, you're also completely misunderstanding what

This argument has always struck me as ridiculous. You think if only the Weimar Republic had had Hate Speech laws everything would have been fine?

Right I am probably being sloppy with my terminology. It's more notions that there is no such thing as "good grammar" is just tiresome. We can argue the rules are somewhat arbitrary, but that does not change how people might

The hardcore anti-prescriptivism among linguists does drive me a bit nuts as well. Languages can and do alter because of peoples prescriptivist ideas. They're not just arbitrary rivers of sound changes that people cannot control. Engli

It's not counter signalling. It's just the complete death of high culture. Hoodies aren't some statement about how you're too cool to care, it's just that no one cares to look good.

by LAC-Tech 8mo ago
There's no high culture anymore. Rich people don't go to operas or read poetry or literature. They drink too much and they can't spell. They're just plebs with money.

Wonderful article. I do maintenance programming, and many of the problems you mention with typical react apps are also code maintenance nightmares. Managing a large number of fast moving third party dependencies will destroy your developer

Anecdotally, I sometimes notice my computer fan spinning ferociously... it's almost always because I have left a firefox tab with linkedin open somewhere. Are they bit coin mining or are they just incompetent?

Rust also hides allocation, and both the standard library and community best practices encourage many smaller allocations, which makes it much harder to reason about performance characteristics of your code. So what you say is definitely tr

maybe Rustaceans shouldn't rage so easily?

by LAC-Tech 8mo ago
I wonder to what extent the complexity of the rust language hurts performance. We all only have so much mental capacity, if much of it is spent on the various different intersections of rust's features, that reduces how much we can spe

As a bit of an aside, I've gotten back into deno after seeing bun get bought out by an AI company. I really like it. Startup times are now better than node (if not as good as bun). And being able to put your whole "project" i

Great. Can't wait for equal signs to be the next (((whatever this is))). Maybe it's a secret code. j/k Yeah clearly you guys are the biggest victims in all this... get in there and make it about you!
