For a while, I used to hang out in a subreddit for people who are learning Spanish to give advice (I'm a Spaniard). You wouldn't believe the amount of times I was "corrected" with suggestions that were clearly, blatantly

I can understand the concept of "how the work affects readers" in terms of, say, literary value (for lack of a better word) of a novel, or poetry. It's much harder to translate that idea to essays or educative works, though.

Isn't it even disputed among experts whether Machiavelli's the Prince is satirical or not? I can't possibly imagine how one can both treat a source as holding profound and transcendent views and be uninterested or unsure of w

As you say, there is no objective "good parts" of js, what exists is basically a large language that can act as a framework for you to create a language you like by leaving only what you want in the subset allowed by your linters.

That one's funny for a Spanish speaker. It's common to hear things like "tu abuela nos entierra a todos" (Grandma will bury us all) to imply she's really healthy for her age. I never even considered the alternative

No need to look for them. I was there just recently and you practically need to push them away. Even when I got an uber back to the hotel the driver tried to sell me weed, some kind of gas canisters with laughing gas or something, and a han

Ever since I started using vimium, it's become a need for me. It's the reason I don't use safari despite its better performance on a macbook. Weirdly enough, none of the people I've tried to convince to use it has stuck

Madrid's subway works that way. Each line is identified by a unique number and color, and the corridors feature the color of the line - so if you're in a red corridor you know your entering or exiting a line 2 platform.

I can see them stopping the sale of windows, but not really using an online OS. I think they've just given up on the OS war and will try to get users to subscribe to their walled environment (office, azure, onenote, etc). They're

As a European from a poor-ish lower middle class background, I can tell you that even free university doesn't cut it economically. The thing is, every year you stay at school is a year that you're a financial drain to your family
