OP meant that "yes" is not a word in Spanish. The word "sí" is indeed the affirmative and it's used mostly the same as yes in English.

You're probably referring to Cycles X [1], which if I'm not mistaken has already been released. It will never be on-par with Eevee's performance though as they are fundamentally different approaches to rendering: Cycles is a

Oh, I thought IceWeasel had been renamed to IceCat, but the repo you linked to has recent activity and calls it IceWeasel, now I'm a bit confused. Glad to see it's active though.

I'm doing well! Hope you are too. I sometimes come across your comments here, but I rarely have a chance to reply. I almost write the year as 02020 above just in case you found it, now I'm sad I didn't.

To add to that, quoting from the paper [1] (published in 2020): > ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: > Dylan, Juli, Bruno and Massi are a group of 18/19-year-old friends from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The original idea came to Juli while having a s

The page's background turns to fairly unpleasant pink once you scroll past the middle point. Is that the norm for design.google blog posts or is it some kind of subtle messaging about the new gradient? Also the replacement of the mouse

I would guess so. Their blog also has a big gap between 2020 [1] (when the Servo team was laid off from Mozilla) and 2023 [2] when they found new funding and restarted development, with nothing else posted in between. 1: https://

I think the title (and the article to a degree) is misleading. Something like "Japanese bureaucrats finally plan to update severely out of date official romanization scheme" would be far more accurate. The examples in the top tabl

When typing in Japanese I tend to type "tu" instead of "tsu" or "si" instead of "shi" because the end result is the same (つ/し) and I save a keystroke, I assume most people who regularly input Jap

Yeah I think you're right, unless you often visit those places it's more common to just see their names only when you pass by their train stations or see them on the train maps, so the "mb" spellings stand out more.

Tokyo Metro romanizes 日本橋 as Nihombashi, you can look up the station on Google Maps and check out the photos, the signage showing "Nihombashi" shows up pretty soon. Google Maps itself also romanizes it as Nihombashi. Same applies

What a great resource, thanks to whoever put this together. To anyone who enjoys contorting the language to make it do weird things for fun, quines, and those sort of things, I really recommend Tomoya Ishida's talk at RubyKaigi 2024. I

Yeah, happened to GIMP as well, for a while they didn't have anyone in charge of macOS builds, so they just skipped the platform for a few releases.

For me it's gotten a lot better since one or two versions ago. There's still some lagginess, but it's nowhere near the horror show that it used to be, and they fixed some excruciating screen resolution issues as well. I used

I haven't used Graphite, but from what I've seen it allows for non-destructive procedural editing using nodes (à la Blender), which Inkscape mostly doesn't do.

That's very quick judgment based on pure speculation. Do you know what the numbers look like for your own country? Are those stats even published?

Monthly inflation since December 2023 has followed these numbers: * Jan - 20.6% * Feb - 13.2% * Mar - 11% * Apr - 8.8% * May - 4.2% * Jun - 4.6% * Jul - 4% So yes, inflation has gone down. Inflation for August is not yet

But the number 3 is there just because we decide to calculate digits in base 10. We could encode Pi in binary instead, and since it doesn't repeat it necessarily will never be a point where there will never be another 1 or a 0, right?

I use SwiftKey with multiple languages and only need to switch when I want to use a non-Latin-script language. But I agree with the main point, will wait for FUTO Keyboard to support multiple simultaneous languages before I try it.
