I'm not an expert on alphabetization, but AFAIK kids actually have some trouble getting the letters "the right way round", I think especially if they start very early. They might be learning the abstract shape first and the l

I see the point you're trying to make, but we've applied for many other grants without requiring help.

I'm seeing quite a few startups who seem to focus on helping people document and discover their environmental footprint more so than changing it, often with a focus on compliance. This is obviously great if it does lead to real initiat

My company applied for an EU innovation grant last year. The way you do it, apparently, is you contact one of a handful of companies who specialize in helping with these applications and you promise them a cut of what you might get. It&#x27

I remember talking to my old boss, who was something of an "old money" type, about summer holiday plans, some time in the middle of last decade. My then-girlfriend and I were going by bus to Berlin, 600km or so, to hang out, see A

Quick calculation says it'd take me and my wife about 100 years to pay it off if we don't spend money on anything else.

I'm sure that difference is very important to him.

Seeing this headline I'm not actually sure my OpenWRT router/WiFi AP has been upgraded since I installed it in late 2015. I haven't really thought about it at all, actually. I think that counts as praise? EDIT: ... turns out

Sometimes the shear amount of repetitive code you need to have to accomplish some task is in itself an impediment to understanding, or it will encourage unfortunate shortcuts later on.

I was actually under the impression that this is more or less what they do, but that not everything can be recovered this way, in particular the various materials that get encased in epoxy for ease of handling, like most of electronic compo

I'm fairly certain "recycling" in this case means extracting the gold plating from the circuit boards and maybe the aluminium from the case. I think they're starting to do the batteries as well, but I'm not sure it&

It seem absolutely bizarre to me that a 2014 Mac wouldn't be usable for web browsing, I wonder how much of it is just a matter of taste, or if Apple are playing down-clocking games like they do/did on their phones? My daily driver

It's not similar in function. It's an etymological curiosity, and one that many Danish speakers are not aware of, we're certainly not doing multiplications in our head when we use them. The words are just words. The underlyin

I think the America parallels to this statement would be God, democracy, "our way of life" and such, references to which would not at all be unexpected in a letter such as this from the 60's.

Danish counting is no more base 20 than English (that is, it is until 20). The words for 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 are derived from an old word for twenty, but it's really no different than English having "twenty", "thirty&

Why learn to play an instrument when you can just buy a CD? The goal is not to have a browser, but to build one. This browser is affiliated with the SerenityOS project, which is reimplementing an entire desktop OS and all applications from

The secret is that they always write "you" as "u" and then spend all the time saved on programming.

Apple had a bunch of interesting projects at the time that they never got out the door. You kind of get the impression that it was very developer-driven, I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like all of the cool features worked

When I last checked a few years ago, self-hosted Discourse forums needed to self-publish an app to have push notifications on iOS. Hopefully that won't be the case anymore, it's a great community communications platform.

It's not very necessary when you take the structure of the languages into account. In most cases the vowels are predictable from the grammar[0]. Your question is a bit cart-before-horse, really - they have a writing system that is perf

Zulip, too, has done a similar thing for a while, I think, with threads in categories. The UI is a little more chat-derived than most forums, but there's an obvious connection. It's good. I hope it becomes more a popular thing.

How well does that work? I (not a gamer) only recently learned of the Wii U and thought it would be great for that exact thing.
