If something has been falsified, then it is clearly not unfalsifiable. If something is false, it's a much stronger claim than that it is simply falsifiable. That is the case here. What's your point?

There's no audible difference between signing "she's said" and "she said", the s's blend together. Any possible difference would be entirely obscured by stylistic choices. Even vocalizing normally the diff

Have you considered that, perhaps, virtually nobody wears it because the police will stop you on the beach and fine you for wearing it?? (As has actually happened, indicating that people do in fact wear it. And have been dramatically disinc

A precinct where reason prevailed over tradition would recognize that new legislation is required to adapt to changing demographics and find a way to enforce cleanliness without infringing on religious freedom. (Off the top of my head: offe

Ok, still the folks were religiouslly harassed then and maybe getting some money back years later doesn't change that. And the point still stands for swimming pools, which is basically the same. https://www.cnn.com/202

I made something sorta like that specific to recipe videos. Basically converts recipe into an idiomatic format (inlines ingredients, detects and renders timers) and links each step in the recipe to its timestamp in the video for easy indexi

Well if I knew for sure why it didn't work I'd fix it ;) I think it works better now than before, but it's hard to be sure because I neglected to measure the downtime before/after the modifications. Essentially I had a

Wild that people have accepted a 5000ms delay between starting their car and seeing behind them. I suppose I'm more sensitive to downtime than most - I recently (unsuccessfully) tried to add a ton of capacitance into my head unit'

An unsolicited PR that adds new syntax and changes the bytecode layout would 100% not be welcomed. There are stages to redesigning languages and that is the last one. But instead of having a discussion about it (stage one), people like to p

Okay, so make the lambda's binding refer to several of those 'structs' and have .( dispatch to the correct one based on the airity at the call site.
