Ah, thanks, I think I got it now. One problem for me was, that German der/die/das can actually translate to both, “the“ and “that“ depending on the emphasis.

Makes sense - still it feels odd, coming from the “other side“. I wonder when this split happened. About dieser/diese/dieses, that would be tento/tato/toto (this/that here).

I'm a German learning czech and have the opposite problem: the czech (and probably other slavic languages) still have those articles but mostly leave them away. I'm never really sure, when you still need to use them: * ten/ta

Even better: you can let your image server check the accepted formats in the request header and send webp content transparently instead of jpg. Then you don't have to change your markup at all. Browser's don't really care abo

Hmm, all I can see is a brownish blurry ... uhm ... something (Chrome, Desktop). Could someone explain what we are expected to see here?

Thanks. I was afraid to hear something like this. Being a PHP developer myself it's really hard to believe that resource consumption is obviously treaded with so little priority in the rails/ruby world. And some attitudes here lik

I can only tell what I've experienced. I regularly read the release notes, especially the sections on performance. And with each upgrade I'm hoping so much that we get back to loading times below 1 second (like it was with early G

Yeah, and they've promised to work on performance for ages now with almost no improvement. I run a very small installation with only a couple of projects and some hundred issues on a 4 GB machine. It eats up 2 GB (sigh!!!) - and often

Does this basically say, that letsencrypt will no longer work in a virtual hosting setup? What about existing certs? Can they at least be renewed when they expire?

The ambiguity comes from the problem, when talking to someone from “the other system“. I remember that my “viertel drei“ was misinterpreted as 15.15 by someone, who autocompleted this to “viertel nach drei“ following his system.

Really? May be a generation thing. I'm in my 40s now and we learned about that battle around 6th grade. And this was on a Hauptschule (secondary modern school) where I spent two years. Also German TV is full of historic documentaries a

But in that case, wouldn't “unknown“ be even better? I'm not a native english speaker, though, so I may miss some fine nuances in the meaning of “none“.

Not sure if it helps, but you're not alone. I'm a quite introvert person and often feel that things that interest me bore others and vice versa. This can be a real problem if you have to communicate. I'm learning Czech now

Ok, then please forgive my ignorance. Basically that's what I was asking for (links or sources with deeper informations on the subject). Of course I made the mistake to use “only“ where it should have been “so much“ or something. Sorry

Reading about rewards in AI context makes me wonder, why current AI only focuses on the network topology aspect of natural intelligence. What about the neurotransmitters like dopamine or serotonine? Could they (or more specific: their effec

> I agree: there are no rules in a language. Really? Isn't that a bit broad? It may be half true for some languages but definitely not for all. For example in Germany we have the "Der Duden" which is not only a dictionary

That's probably pretty much exactly what Tegmark claims: somewhere in this structure there really is a universe simulated in rust.

After a few seconds I was redirected to an ad site that made my mobile vibrate and that “locked me in“ by some redirect trickery which blocked the back button. Not really what I'd expect from a HN link with so many upvotes. Did no one

I dare to agree. The site is basically unreadable on mobile which is frustrating as the topic is really interesting.

The name of the German valley where the first specimen was found was spelled Neanderthal until early 20th century. But it's Neandertal nowadays.

Lately I tend to think, that talking about “free will“ makes no sense at all. Our consciousness is the product of physical processes. They lead to the decisions we make. That's all there is. Now if you bring a free will into play, wher

That makes me wonder if it's also easy to create a string that is its own MD5.
