As a vote in favour of that comment, it has to be one of the most consistent and best games I've played recently. Trying to say as little as possible, it has gameplay that made me feel clever, _fantastic_ sound design, effective use of

That does sound like something that could go wrong while writing a book.

If I understand correctly, you're the one setting unrealistic deadlines for yourself. Underestimating the timeline for work is something I'm guilty of myself, especially when I know the rough outline of what I need to do. If you w

Not sure why this is being downvoted - a quick Google search gives me numbers ranging from 250-450 million, and 350 million sits comfortably within that range. It's possible that the article refers to the number of readers of Arabic sc

Yup, that's the exact point they're making. Non-Arabic-speaker sees Arabic script and assumes it's the Arabic language, so presents it to users that don't understand it, such as presenting Farsi text to Egyptian Arabic s

"type" is a very common and overloaded word. Consider its meaning for designers, programmers, taxonomy, keyboard enthusiasts, diabetics, Pokemon fans, and so on. The website being called "typenetwork" doesn't clarif

Doesn't that only apply if you stop the entire suite upon receiving one failed test?

Nice accessible article - the title required 3 or 4 attempts to correctly parse though :)

I suppose so. The article does focus on Serbia pretty heavily though, and states that rakija originated there.

Nearly started making these sounds before I realised I'm on a busy train and caught myself. Oops. If it helps at all, in my experience of learning to do alveolar trills, the key was finding the precise amount of resistance to apply wit

> (never gonna be able to roll Rs) Curious about this. Presumably you've given it plenty of effort after more than 3 years of Spanish study. Where do you feel that you're stuck, and what have you tried?

Hmm funny thing, if it had been opt-in (maybe by finding and clicking a semi-hidden button) I probably would've been intrigued and searched for all the variations. Just a thought.

Why does my mouse say "Visitor" when I hover over the text?

Incomprehensible to me. Learning the grammar of a language is the most fun part, in my opinion! Vocab is hard work, but learning ways to form a sentence? Magical.

You seem to be conflating languages and scripts. I'm not sure what language "Main Rang Sharbato Ka" (Hindi?) but as you point out, it could be written in another script, I assume Devanagari or Arabic script. It would still be

Is that linked post an example of a "Russian doll style pattern-comment chain"? Genuinely curious what you meant by that

I wondered, but I'm not sure what the telltale signs would be. In any case, I firmly believe in the human ability to produce unclear writing :)

Damn, I got beaten to the "I only read the headline" comment. I did read the article though, and I found it a bit confusing. Assuming it is written in good faith by a real person, my concern is that the central analogy to open sou

OP recommended 1g/pound which is more than double that 77g for a 170lb person. Not saying that the comment you responded to is necessarily right, but they were talking about significantly higher amounts of protein than you.

That's a new SCP to count amongst my favourites. Reminds me of Coding Machines [1] and Second Variety [2] but with the added twist that it's not even a computer. There's something elegantly horrifying about it. [1] https:&#x

Only tangentially related: what is the best general-use single hand tool? My feeling is that it would be some kind of small sturdy knife. "When all you have is a knife, a lot of stuff looks passably doable"

This comment just helped me to answer the question of why there's instantly condensation on the outside of the pot when the gas stove is lit. That one had me curious for a while. Brilliant, thanks!

That's interesting, I never considered cooking with hydrogen gas. I think I assumed the steam production and very rapid burn would make it unsuitable, but this article from, er, the American Hydrogen Association says otherwise: https:
