Lots of interestingly similar words between Japanese and Turkish. For example, yabanjin meaning barbarian in Japanese, and yabancı meaning foreigner in Turkish. The word for "good" is basically the same in both languages (ii/

While this is probably generally true, the 2018 6th gen X1 Carbon (I have one and run Fedora on it) has had significant problems with Linux trackpoint support, which still aren't fully resolved. I had to run a firmware update from Leno

Japan doesn't seem to be testing aggressively like some other countries, so the number of Coronavirus cases could be underreported. But I would assume the number of deaths would be harder to undercount? (Also, a government official is

I don't believe this is correct. All the sources I've read say that Tokyo has a growing population. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/07/12/national/japan-...
