I'm not quite sure what to make of your post. First of all, Spanish has a whole other problem, because there is no "official" Spanish AFAIK (even though people from Madrid claim that), compared to e.g. German and "Hochde

That is not true in my experience, the LEDE site is quite active, spewing out builds very frequently, even fixing KRACK almost immediately. Don't know what you consider as "nothing has really happened"

Isn't it that way: On the field, the language of the common man prevailed: sheep (e.g. german: Schaf). When being prepared in the kitchen, the meat becomes the mutton (french mouton). As far as I was told, this is from the time when th

Oh, yeah, the nouns are gendered - everything is gendered! And it must be memorized, there is no rule. Same is true for all Romance languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French, etc.) AFAIK. Btw. it is "das Frühstück" as well. But you g

Thank you for your remarks, I appreciate them for being constructive. I sincerely believe that becoming perfect in a language requires a lot of daily hard work and actually living in a respective country. In fact, seeing my parents misusing

FYI that's the article, in particular "der/die/das" are the definite articles. "Incredibly stupid" sounds a little derogatory. They are not particularly necessary for understanding the language, the correc

Huh? Our verbs have no gender? Care to explain? What German does though, is a declination of verbs through all cases and times, often irregular, accompanied by gendering pronouns which seems to be the hardest part of German for learner&#x27

My native language is a German dialect, I grew up talking Portuguese, learned French in school for 5 years, 3 years of Spanish and I strongly disagree. The French language is full of irregularities and weird, complicated sentence constructi

In a perfect world there would only be open firmware for all devices. We don't live in such a perfect world, and even Linux users might have e.g. a Logitech unifying receiver. And nobody should disallow them to use one with Linux. Mode

If you are referring to the image at the top of the article, I'm afraid it is not. It is a reference to the origin of the name for "Mechanical Turk" [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turk

This only holds true if you consider lock-in IMO, e.g. you need a mac to develop iOS or mac apps, or you need a windows machine to develop windows apps. Otherwise I don't care which browser you are using to look at my pages, or which D

Don't know what (which program) you are referring to, I was referring to official MacOS shortcuts and the Finder [1] (Search for "Command-E") [1] https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236

CMD-e used to be "eject selected disk" in Finder/desktop. Will thus also cause the error-"bloing"/"don't know what you want"- sound on most macOS versions, if nothing suitable is selected.

I think you're wrong, the theory of evolution has been suffering under the oversimplification that is 'survival of the fittest', that also led to e.g. Social Darwinism, which is dangerous and completely bogus. Evolution Darwi

I guess you consider me one of those offended, and let me assure you, I am not. It is just weird if a technical presentation doesn't even mention the environment (lack of a better word) at all , but considers PowerPC multicore history

Please mind that the rudeness is your interpretation. I was just astonished how it doesn't mention BigLittle at all . Not a single word. On the other hand, he had enough time to go on a history lesson about multicore for PowerPC first

Is the author seriously so deep in the "Apple-is-the-world" bubble that he has not yet heard of BigLittle? In what way is the A11 different?

Sigh <strikethrough> You're statement is the kind of thing I was stabbing at with my critique: a hidden (shallow) argument, that going with LiMux is worse than going with MS, and it would have been wiser and cheaper to stick with

Well, that everything will be and work the same. Particularly regarding interoperability with existing workflows (MS Office), this is either a lie or incompetence.

There is a lot of hyperbole, idealism and straight out lies around this story, from both sides unfortunately. All idealism aside, it is important to acknowledge that there were (always will be?) issues with documents made in MS Office sent

I think your conclusion falls under the term non sequitur . It does not show anything about Canonical's financial incentives or their strategy, your statement is basically stating an assumption what the reason is. Further I would

Moving nodes are summarized under the term mobility, and in RPL it is usually handled by reconstruction from the top or re-discovery of parents by the node itself. Timers play an important role, and mobility is a known weak spot of RPL. The
