   Nah this isn't true. Among Haredi Jewish communities it's still very often the mame loshn (mother tongue), and they're growing in number. Secular Yiddish has been having a revival for a couple of decades, but to me it seems l

   It's also got a lot of English in it nowadays too, and Dutch. It's a diasporic fusion language so it sucks in the languages of its environment, which for today's speakers means Israel, US/UK, Holland (Antwerp).

   Surely someone will make a movie or a series out of this in the future. For posterity, how long will that take? I'll start the bidding at ten years.

   Maybe not a great completion rate respective to the amount of games you've got but probably (surely?) with respect to other gamers! If someone asked you to pick your favourite three...?

   Side note but what does one do with 20,000 games? Do you actually play this many? Genuine curiosity, not trying to troll or anything.

    Ouch. First time I've heard the alt-right slur 'snowflake' used here on HN. Hope this isn't a sign of the direction we're going. Remember this isn't Gab, folks?

    Shout out to emacs' brilliant git porcelaine magit. It makes doing a bunch of disconnected stuff 'in the zone' and then staging and commiting whichever lines and refs you want totally straightforward and easy.

    So what? Why does this bother you? Young black women are hugely under-represented in STEM fields, so this is a nice story of someone breaking through that and it gets coverage. The insinuation is that she doesn't deserve it, that she w

    I'll admit I'm not someone who really follows phone developments closely enough to disagree. What you say is the standard review of FFs, that it costs more and is technically inferior. But then again I believe it costs what a fair

    Congratulations to Fairphone. This sounds like a massive task especially for such a small team. I run a Fairphone 3 and I couldn't be happier. Sure it was on the pricy side but it's served me well, takes great photos, has survived

    I completely agree! Ikiru had a huge effect on me, and I've never been able to forget Takashi Shimura's facial expressions from it.

    Well it's just a little film about a magician, a 'guesser'. To be honest I think I wrote that mostly because I'd watched it the night before! But as a magician I recon you would enjoy it. :)
