Is this a separate subscription for commenting only? Perhaps this would work: an additional small fee for the possibility to add a comment? I don't know, probably this would also drive away people who comment sensibly. [edit: rewrote a

IT is one of the best fields for working from home. You should consider that or we have a profound bias. And, it's true that commuting and working in badly designed open office spaces are extremely bad for productivity. On the other ha

As everybody knows who have looked at traffic accidents on Youtube this has been misused in Russia. You want a new car for free? Stop then reverse into the car behind you. And that's why dash cams became ubiquitous in Russia and other

Perhaps it is possible to go backwards from solving to matrix multiplication. Your example Ax = b can be solved using a matrix multiplication with the inverse matrix: x = A^-1 b. So if one can solve a linear system faster than by matrix mul

I also voted against it. It's a pity that I couldn't approve the e-ID issued by the government.

One example in Bernese Oberland I like: There's a ski resort Lenk. People say they live «in the Lenk» or they travel «to the Lenk». In German you have to know that the genus of «Lenk» is femimine and use the dative or the accusative: «

It's not coal vs nuclear. Both need to be shut down.

Because it's not a distinguishing factor anymore, so let's give it to the masses.

That's interesting. I am going to reason about this. It's me thinking aloud here. I already know that JS callbacks and promises are somewhat equivalent to continuations. A continuation is something which is to be done later and wh

The problem are the future accidents with the left-overs of nuclear. They are simply uncountable because these are in the future.

That's not so clear cut. Mühleberg near Berne has said that 2019 they didn't make profit, however the operator company BKW never published gains with that plant. https://www.bernerzeitung.ch/region/kanton-bern

That's really interesting. I am against nuclear power but upvoted your comment anyway.

Perhaps because that standard design didn't work out? Even Switzerland is shutting down nuclear plants and they managed to build the longest railroad tunnel of the world without budget overruns and half a year before due date.

Nuclear power also shuts down when there's significant disruption from nature. Nuclear power even might do something even worse than shutting down.

It's not about nuclear vs coal but about nuclear vs renewables. Just shut down both coal and nuclear!

When we relocated, the new building already had the ethernet cables we know today. I was very impressed by the cabinets with the switches. The floors had little covers with power and ethernet. That was in the 90s.

Accidents are bad but left-overs are even worse. I wish people would think more about long-term problems with spent fuel rods. I don't think that burying them is a viable solution as the Asse mine in Germany shows. https://w

Lithium for energy storage is not the only option. Pumped water already has been a thing for decades. Additionally other avenues are being explored like [1] pumped air and [2] lifting concrete weights. [1] https://www.planete-ene

Adding my personal experience from the nineties in Berne in Switzerland: Compared to Ethernet the cables were thicker, more cumbersome to bend and you had two of them, and they were chained to neighbor computers. That was long ago and I was

No. It's not about the order of words but that grandparent seems to have misunderstood something about glosses. He is thinking that grammar is simplified. It is difficult for written glosses to express the complete grammar spectrum of

Maybe you meant glosses? Usually they are all written uppercased. However glosses often omit grammar or better said they aren't inflected because they can't capture raised eyebrows and other non-manual information.

The thing of omitting grammar: That's simply not true, I am sorry. Signed languages have a complex visual grammar. Words are inflected in many ways. I am a somewhat native speaker of the local signed language, and I sometimes discover
