Yeah, sure. Here's the quantiles for the median male: > for (q in c(0.01, 0.05, 0.5, 0.80, 0.95, 0.99)) { print(qnorm(q, 6, 1.63)) } [1] 2.208053 [1] 3.318889 [1] 6 [1] 7.371843 [1] 8.681111 [1] 9.79194

I haven't analyzed the data, so I'm going purely off of the article's numbers, but the article states that 1) the median male is a 5.9 out of 10, and 2) each individual's ratings follow a normal distribution. Considering

I tend to agree with your three specific objections: - 5 vowels is actually a very good choice (although the diphthongs in Esperanto are notably odd) - pronouncing the R differently is unavoidable and probably fine - the x-method works okay

This is a great overview, very comprehensive. I personally have a system based on Guix, which is like Nix. One important note is that doing LTO with such a setup is tricky (and I haven’t attempted it yet). It is possible to transform existi

I imagine that for Google, one path that would make sense would be 1) upgrading their C++ to Carbon and then 2) making sure that the Rust + Carbon interoperability is solid. Of course, in a company of Google’s size, I’m sure different group
