Every language course I’ve taken has involved has some active production of language. Day 1 of my Japanese class in HS was introducing ourselves to one another. Language exams also require proof of correct and accurate production of languag

And maybe talk to people in Japanese? And do some writing? Not just passive consumption.

Let's say Hamas returned the hostages. What would happen next? What makes that the "winning move?" My guess is that Netanyahu would say that the war can't end until "all the terrorists are dead" (impossible), a

I don’t think such a middle ground is really realistic. There are plenty of apps that are just thin wrappers around their backend calls and are no more capable of working offline than I am of going without food or water. But if a program is

I live in Westchester County NY, quite possibly the living breathing heart of Reform Judaism in the US (outside the UES anyway). Plenty of genuine supporters of Israel here, even among the Gentiles. I try hard to avoid the topic even with f

The nature of a 'teaching professor' job can vary a lot, but the positions are often very precarious and unstable, as I can attest from personal experience.

Note that all this information is 20 years old and is badly outdated. Many of the facilities mentioned (eg the Nouchimi Outfitters gas station) no longer exist. https://www.facebook.com/TabascoADV/photos/a.69661865

Somebody in real life was just saying something similar about Boston’s appeal as a mini nyc. I was genuinely pretty surprised — I think of Boston as pretty different from New York (much, much smaller, lots whiter, more educated; in my head

Sure, underlying conditions were different and partially explain the different colonizing strategies. Doesn’t change the fact that there were key differences that manifest themselves in evidence like these newly discovered codices.

Yeah Spanish colonialism was very different from English colonialism. The Spanish attempted to coopt and convert the local population, not displace and kill them. That’s not to say it wasn’t a nasty process but to this day there are million

I really like the new IntelliJ UI. It’s a blatant rip-off of VS Code but I like VS code so I’m fine with it. Removes a bunch of lesser-used features from the main view and feels a lot cleaner. https://www.jetbrains.com/help&

It’s too bad the piece doesn’t have any reactions from other physicists. Is this a pretty speculative idea in the field or closer to the mainstream?

Academia is a club of purportedly professional peers, with a strong social norm of supporting one another. If you bring a lawsuit against your advisor you might be able to get them fired, but you will kiss any chance of a career goodbye. Th
