Yes, one can speak their own first Sinitic language on the mainland (and they do, and many even speak more than 2) and that is not banned. But they can't buy a textbook on their first language because the official policy is that everyt

It is likely that «pinyin» was either used as a generic word to reference a romanisation system specific each of the Cantonese and Shanghainese languages, or it was a blunder on behalf of Apple due to a poorly prepared communiqué. Also like

Definitely 0/10 for recommending learning Russian, except as an exercise in masochism (10/10). Hardly a 10/10 for the BDSM part. Whilst the Russian language has retained many grammatical features of the Proto-Indo-European

Yes, with this example, it is possible to translate the foul language nearly bidirectionally. The OP was enquiring upon an example of a dick conversation, hence an example of the use of the word «хуй» (a cock / a dick) to illustrate ho

In English why do you need to say “exacerbate” when you can say “make worse”? Or “defenestrate” when you mean “toss out the window”? The usual answer I hear is that it’s because it makes the language more beautiful and precise. I think it

Compare how Chinese immigrants in the 19th century might get names like 王 Wong, 李 Lee, or 魯 Loo, whereas Chinese immigrants today have names like 王 Wang, 李 Li, or 鲁 Lu. I am afraid, your observations and conclusions are incorrect. Wong, L

App uploads to the iOS store in the LLVM's own Bitcode format is a distant echo of the CPU ISA agnostic IR approach IBM employed at the time. Bitcode is transpiled down to the underlying CPU instructions via the static binary translati

Advantages of having a common set of conventions might not be apparent if you look at them through the lens of a single ISA (x86 in your example); however, if you consider that porting UNIX and a C compiler to a new hardware architecture wa

Laptop upgradbility is a game of luck and a guessing game, in general. Laptops are, by design, a finished product, and it is a lucky happenstance, if it (and what) can be upgraded for a variety of reasons. My 2008 Sony Vaio VGN-Z17GN laptop

You would need to look into the addressing modes at length. * --i = * j++ is directly a «mov @(r0)+, -(r1)» (provided * j is in r0 and * i is in r1) whereas * i++ = * j-- is a «mov @-(r0),@(r1)+»; i[4] = 1 is «mov #1, @4(r1)» and * (int * )
