The GGGGP (who you’re talking to) asked the GGGGGP if a country having a Latin based alphabet would really be easier for a non-speaker than another alphabet (in this case Cyrillic). I stated I only speak English for context (I can get by wi

at the most basic: 1 kilometer is 1000 meters 1 kiloliter is 1000 liters etc. 1 mile is 1760 yards 1 foot is 12 inches 1 gallon is 4 quarts etc. dunno, seems simpler to me.

I probably stated it wrong, but meant the first two characters between them, that was my mistake. As in first position of each. Kind of repeated it initially.

Agreed. I think looks wise, Fusion has been one of the better of their offerings (granted, didn’t love the switch to the blimp looking/rounded grill). I’d think it would make sense to keep the Fusion line.

the quoted is one scenario if the similarity to words applies (this doesn't always apply in Spanish or French either). But to your example, I'd feel more comfortable fumbling around looking in a English to Turkish book looking for

I wish we would. Conversions would be so much simpler.

while I think it seems pretty reasonable to assume that their tourists are currently from countries with Cyrillic-based languages, they're making a concerted effort to draw more Western audiences. How that'll play out, not sure, b

Okay, how about this then: If it is in Latin script, the tourists from countries with Latin-based languages can phonetically butcher whatever it is they're attempting to communicate with the other party. If it is in Cyrillic script, th

emodendroket - in the case of Quebec, they've moved heavily towards French only (currently, French predominantly). I have zero issue with this and it would beat everything looking like my emails from corporate where they're blocks

I speak English only. I find it much easier to translate either online or via English-to-X dictionary if the other language uses Latin script. Could it be done? I'm sure it is possible, but without previously interacting with them, not

Eh, I like it. It loads quickly and doesn't tap resources. I typically use Visual Studio as well, but I do it when I need to do a quick edit of a file or quickly see syntax highlighting on something to review. Basically, Electron isn&#

VSCode, as far as I'm aware, uses Electron and is great. Twitter's React web application was so good on performance and hitting all of the marks I used the mobile native application for that I was able to delete the native applica

Is the person's app going to automatically end up on your device or did I miss something here? If Apple's review board feels the app is trash, it will be rejected as such. And the original poster wanted to just do a website instea

As someone who is both, there are times where you'd like to create a quick web application to do a task that is either very specific to one's needs or only needed for a brief period of time rather than going wholesale application

From what I've seen, and I could be wrong, David Muir seems to deliver in a way that doesn't seem heavy in bias. Admittedly, I don't watch ABC a lot so I don't see a ton of him, but his content seems pretty impartial.

While I agree they're not all the same or approaching the median at the same rate, my statement was in their propensity towards editorializing. Whereas people view them (well, typically if they agree with them) as newspeople. I was goi

While I agree, I think I'd be saddened by what it would suss out: that people don't really want news. The sad part would be that even after this, people would still look to the Hannitys, the Maddows, the Carlsons, the Lemons of th

Torn here. On the one hand, I hate the "must run" items, yet on the other hand, I see this as being a slippery slope if they were to punish as that'd be dictating to a company what is allowed on their stations. Having said th

If that's the case: 1a) Why would it matter that Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, and/or Apple object to W3C DOM 4.1 if they don't implement it? 1b) Why would Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, and/or Apple care enough to object to

Purely anecdotal, but I was a kid during the Nickelodeon era. I bought 1 little plastic container of gak at that point. It was neat, but not novel enough to consider a big memory. My daughter? Had me buy a book for her from some girl that s

The problem with Electron apps is that they can be done well, or they can be done poorly. And if they're done poorly, wow, may as well add cryptominer code for the drain on battery you're going to cause. That isn't to say Ele

Not sure, personally. The scandal is that the company is exposing user data, not that employees are siphoning data and selling it on the side. I can understand it if you're in a situation where the bottom can kind of dictate the compan
