In latin, æ or ae was a (di)graph for the /ae/ diphthong. In English, it is typically pronounced using the /i/ phoneme, which isn't a diphthong. I have heard it pronounced as /ai/ dipthong, but only rarely

The difference is that normally when you make fun of a language like that, it's mostly a joke. You don't normally use it to completely dismiss a whole argument that could actually have real substance. The only other langauages I s

Sure, but I think I've heard far more about RIIR and the Rust Evangelism Strikeforce than I've actually seen it in action.

It does, it just depends on your register, and they also change regularly. Shit and damn used to be taboo, but they haven't been now for a while. However (in the American dialect, I think) "cunt" is pretty taboo, as well as t

I doubt it was a "ha-ha you're a stupid idiot" laugh but more of the sort of laugh you'd do when a toddler does something that makes perfect common sense, but violates social norms (like discussing their bowel movements

Practicality is a big part of the politics, but there's real politics at play as well. Different developers will have different levels of comfort with different tool chains, and different capacities to work outside their comfort zone.

For what it's worth, this problem predates Stack Overflow, and to some degree Stack Overflow tried to fix it. Before SO, the typical way people would find answers would be to go to their favorite search engine and type their query, and

You misunderstood. The people who presumably get 'hooked' aren't the workers, but the customers. People don't sell drugs as a pleasure act either.

I agree with your general sentiment, but not about the traffic lights. The whole reason traffic lights work is because 99.9% of the time, those hulking monstrosities we call cars, can just barrel right through on a green light, and when the

Would it be better just to solve that by putting up stops on both sides of the reserve's border?

That's true, but we do have populations that are closer to control. There's still quite a few people who engage in subsistence farming in less industrialized nations. For example, the rice farmers in the northern Philippines (excl

In some places, the people who hold the purse strings are rather far removed from the actual developers, that it's a lot easier to just go with something that's "free". I think this is one of the reasons why cloud comput

I'm not sure this will really add anything to the discussion, but I think the common usage of the term "cold" is for an endemic, mostly-harmless disease, not just any viral respiratory illness. Also, my quick read of that pap
