Yes, they were. I can't remember the exact wording of the question, but I believe it was along the lines of "Are you in favour?" so the answer could be "I am/Tá", or "I am not/Níl". I could be wr

I'm not sure how that's any less ambiguous than answering "I don't beat her".

> perhaps "I haven't it" is syntactically more similar than "I don't have it" to what they actually say Neither is particularly close, as Irish doesn't have a verb for have, and uses Verb-Subject-Object

Apologies. I'm aware of the issues with code blocks on mobile, and I myself even call people out who used them instead of quotes. Here though, I used text alignment to aid in showing which words in Irish correspond to their translation

Interesting to know! I suspected that might be the case, but didn't include it as I'm not all that familiar with the Brittonic languages.

French has "si" from "sic" as well! Used in an affirmative response to a negative question. Pulling an example from wiktionary: Tu ne m’aimes pas, n’est-ce pas ? — Si ! You don’t like me, do you? — Yes, I do!

It depends on the speaker, the usage is much more common among people who haven't learned the language to any degree of fluency (which is the majority of people who claim to speak Irish). Hearing "Níl" in response to a questi

There is a word that negates a sentence/clause, just not a word for no. You're correct that we repeat the verb (tá is the independent form when no particle precedes it, fuil is the dependent form, which here has an initial mutatio

C++ might have the advantage here then: it's a template parameter, in other words, the allocator is decided at compile -time, meaning that no additional storage space would be needed if you know in advance which allocator you intend

std::vector can take an allocator as a template parameter though? For a list, sure I can see that having a separate allocator per element could work, but for a vector, surely you'd want the same allocator for the entire range? EDIT: as

Man, it hasn’t even fucking reached 1.0 yet. The fact that the default install can target multiple architectures (including C dependencies) is nothing short of impressive. Does GCC target any of those in its standard build? Oh. Wait. It doe

Same for my undergrad thesis. I learned so much more about the art of typesetting that year than I did about Hypergeometric Integrals or String Amplitudes: the topics of the thesis. That's why I left before doing a masters.
