Formal Farsi borders on being its own dialect. I grew up only learning informal "street" Farsi, and find formal Farsi to be almost impenetrable (granted I've never tried to learn it).

America was an economic backwater until the 1900s. France was, and to a greatly diminished extent still is, a global power. French has T-V distinction. French has arbitrary noun gendering. The noun gendering alone makes it significantly eas

How would you construct such a chart without it being so busy as to be useless?

This has been covered extensively elsewhere, even in 101 level macroecon courses. Literally the worst method of protecting “strategic” supplies is to subsidize the industry producing them.

I have no comment on this specific case, but in general: all of those things—all government interventions that ostensibly protect an industry or company—make it more brittle, less efficient, and more likely to fail. That is precisely the po

How about in terms of power consumed? When I was a kid, it was cheapest to use electricity at night, because that’s when industrial demand was reduced. Now, my rates for electricity at night are significantly higher than during the day, bec

Are there any examples of successful organizations, maybe even with SOC2 compliance, that don't have code reviews? From my research, I think Netflix might not have them, but I'm not sure.

I've been considering adopting the gob package. I haven't used it before, so I only know what's in the docs -- and all of your claims are surprising to me. Could you share more information? How is it possible that they were g

That’s an interesting distinction. And, I would think, a much broader rule. It is inclusive of the “popular belief”: if you falsely identify a work as copyrighted, but it’s not, then you are misrepresenting your authorization because there

I’ve found it surprising that none of the wasm runtimes I’ve seen support dumping/restoring memory state. Would be very valuable.

I haven’t seen that key combo before, but I wonder if part of the thinking is that they are all next to each other. I’m not sure fine motor control is needed for fn+ctrl+option+cmd; the side of the hand would be enough.

I bought two new cars 10-11 years ago.Both Toyotas. Neither has ever needed a repair that wasn’t my fault or normal wear (batteries, oil, tires). When washed and cleaned, they almost feel like new again and I wouldn’t be surprised if they a
