This isn't a very helpful observation. By Eastern European, I presume he means the former Soviet Bloc. It has nothing to do with ethnicity, language, or culture, and everything to do with the lingering effects on organizational and a

I'm not dismissing the prognostication that Macs would ultimately run on ARM (though to be honest that was obvious a long time ago). I'm dismissing the breathless way in which the author announced that somewhere, somehow, a Mac w

Agreed, but that's not what I'm annoyed by here.

There's a little bit of cute countryside on the back side of the mountain, but otherwise, yes, it's true for the entire country. Look, San Marino is barely 4 miles across.

by SeanLuke 4y ago
San Marino is "near" to Venice in the sense that Baltimore is "near" to New York. It's a fun place to visit, and its towers are striking, but I'd hardly call it the most beautiful place in the world: it is lar

> Because there is no spacing in Chinese so there can be some ambiguity about word boundary. Reasonable people can disagree, but I think it's safe to say that mh would be broadly considered a word by most. And anyway, languages are

??? I'm not saying you can use it on its own as "no" -- indeed that was the whole point of this discussion. But gramatically mh is absolutely a word. Similarly you can't just say "not" on its own except if you

Sure but it's not just haih. For example, if I were to ask you if you have any snakes, in english, you'd say "no". But in Cantonese you'd say "mouh" (effectively mh yauh: "don't have" or &

In Cantonese you can't just say "mh" (the equivalent of "bu"). It's a negator like "not". You have to say "mh [verb]".

by SeanLuke 4y ago
Sure, Chineses has a word for negation. In cantonese, it's "mh", and can be attached to nearly every verb.
435.
by SeanLuke 4y ago
Not sure about Mandarin and other dialects, but Cantonese has no words for yes or no as well. Instead, cantonese speakers generally repeat the verb asked in a question in a positive or negative way, as in [Speaker A] Will you or will you n

The semantic web is notion for defining data relationships. Datalog and SQL are languages for queries . These have little to do with one another. It's like saying that HTML is failing as a format, so the answer is HTTP.

The term hacker has a long and storied history. A hacker is someone who makes hacks. A hack is a thing, typically a piece of code, which must be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty, regardless of whether it's particularly useful. [

No, that is not at all fair. This wasn't a cold business decision. George Whitman, who founded the current Paris bookstore, and Sylvia Beach, who founded the original, were very close friends. She even toyed with reopening her orig

Wait wait wait. I had to look this up myself: there exists a bookstore chain in New York City and Philly called Shakespeare & Co ? And it appears to have no relationship at all with the uberfamous Shakespeare and Company bookstore in

Can we have the title changed? "To ransom" means to free someone from captivity by paying their ransom. Tesla's not freeing anyone. I think the term the poster meant was "extorts".
