It's not a native English plural, it's Latin straight from the nominative plural <indicēs>. You will find that <indexes> is far more common in English. The supposedly "correct" plural, <indices>, is som

The IPA is invaluable for studying human language, not just _a_ language. I.e.: For linguists. For individuals wishing to learn a foreign language, the IPA probably isn't super helpful. Your mind needs to learn to pick up on new sounds

Unsurprisingly there's some regional variation. Wikipedia says "Central Standard Swedish /ʉː/ is near-close near-front [ʏː]." Note that [y] and [ʏː] are not the same, but very close. Fascinating! https://

Edit: The Wikipedia phonology article says it's /ʉ/ However, I stand by the fact that the IPA symbols do not always reflect exactly what a speaker produces, so you may be picking up on that (or the speaker in the IPA chart

The top of the page states that /p,t,k/ are non-aspirated. These sounds are always aspirated in English when word initial (in most if not all varieties of English). That means that the only difference between /p/ and &#x

I'm curious if you say the same thing about airplanes (which aren't exclusively American either). They are also quite noisy.

I had the same thought. The first HOWTO I looked at was encrypted root FS and contains sections for configuration of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Just slightly old. I was pleasantly reminded of the advances that 2.6 brought, however.

The Gentoo wiki is good too (for any distro, just adapt to your needs).

Not squandered at all because it's not too late to learn something like programming, for example, and knowledge of Debian will help you get started. Linux is a great platform for programming. Languages, libraries, IDEs/editors are

I've never owned an IoT bulb but I imagine you leave the AC power on to them all the time and they control the light themselves. I'd much rather have IoT light switches.

I haven't used this app, but if the issue is a binary file where the app is expecting plain text, you could base64 encode your file. Maybe with some dummy password data. Then your arbitrary encrypted file is just another line in the pl

The proxy-compositor over RPC sounds workable. This is how the Nyxt browser[1] interfaces its Common Lisp runtime with WebKit. [1]: https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/article/technical-design.org

Commercial AR/VR products are not designed to military specifications, nor have only one possible customer.

Former Infantry here also but still serving part time. I think the immediate use is for training. The Army is big on simulators for all MOS's because it saves resources, reduces training complexity, and reduces risk. Sims such as VBS3,

While I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, a good chunk of the contract must be for R&D. The US Army isn't buying a ready made, commercial off-the-shelf product.

"They" is a plural pronoun. Obviously.

I liked this video. https://vimeo.com/230220635 I had similar preconceptions from Python's REPL. Now after reading (at the least the first section of) the article and watching the video my mind is blown. I've also

Thanks for sharing this! Replies to my comments are interesting but I've been curious about an efficient way to see new comments on a given article _that I haven't already read_. I think this site plus a good feed reader would do

I always leave some unallocated space in LVM in my machines. However, in a cloud environment it's probably easier or only possible to delete that 8 GB file.

Interesting perspective. However, there are plenty of online platforms that use free software that are worth paying for. The ad supported ones have their model because the platform is not worth paying for (to consumers).

What gets me about this is that it's always a "laptop" being discussed. Shouldn't we be discussing a hard drive? Or is the incriminating evidence on the keyboard?!

It doesn't have to be specific. Warfare has driven human technology for millennia. It would be great for our species if technology were driven by a lofty, unifying goal as space travel/colonization instead.

Learning the concepts behind programming is far more important than any particular language. And, IMHO, Java is highly overrated anyway.
