A department chair at a university is usually not the most productive researcher, as far as I can tell. And if they are, they tend to leave the position quickly to refocus on research. As far as I've seen it is not unusual for people w

You can get cheap wired earphone splitters and share what you're listening to on long bus rides or flights. I miss that. Maybe one wants something between needing to be on and conversing and the isolation of separate bluetooth listenin

Having a detailed and auditable report of how money is being used is really helpful for creating the understanding you are talking about. That is what accounting is for and why it is so essential to modern life. The site is obviously just a

Lean 4 is uses constructive logic. If a closed world assumption requires that a statement that is true is also known to be true, and that any statement that is not known to be true is therefore false, that is not true of constructive system

Those are both valid reasons to use both languages. The "only" (whether true or not) is what the argument hinges on. It is roughly the same as saying that the only advantage of X is that it is popular, but Y is also popular and ha

It is interesting how accommodations can reveal dysfunctions in educational practice. In my courses, requests for accommodations generally change the course design for all students. This is because the accommodation does not alter expected

I want to be happy with proton but their poor linux support across all their products makes it difficult.

It seems like the central claim of the study is that there is an increased use of center embeddings in legal texts in comparison to non-legal texts and casuals peach. I'm seeing a lot of debating and presentations of opinions about var

I got turned off of F# because it seemed like knowing C# libraries and tooling was assumed if one wanted to do anything non-trivial, kind of like some of the functional JVM languages always assume some amount of Java knowledge and use of Ja

It is called evidentiality. It doesn't have any direct relationship to time, as one would expect with a tense. Southern Quechua has a reported event evidential affix as well. A friend who is a speaker of Quechua was once horrified, hea

It definitely seems misleading to talk about coca leaf use as cocaine use, given the common expectation for what that means. People reading the newspaper probably don't know all these details, and it isn't spelled out. I can'

I suppose the better term would be synecdoche, since the similarity in pronunciation isn't coincidental, like "The sun rose in the morning." and "Look at the pretty rose petals." but is a form of motivated polys

There is no reason why one has to enjoy a haskell-like syntax over Bourne shell syntax but I think you're wrong about the tool. The author states that "It should have no abstraction capabilities (classes, data types, polymorphic f

As far as I could tell, they weren't denied use of the code, just a bunch of other services that are not covered by the GPLv2.

Maybe it is "including linguistics" but most of the world's languages don't have the data available to train on. So I think one major question for NLP is exactly the question you posed: "Is there any other paradigm

Toasters have been around for a long time. So has Javascript. I suppose that I can buy a modern toaster or an antique toaster. Still, they both seem unremarkably like toasters to me. Likewise, I can run an old Javascript program or a new on

I feel like the art scene is where the artists go to get a drink, meet one another, and then go back to their places to collaborate. It seems like a lot of the most accessible venues are places that are not explicitly arts venues. I've

That is a hard question because there are so many ways that one can understand regex. I learned how to read and use them using Unix tools like sed, but I think that my path to starting to understand them probably began with papers like &quo

I use protonvpn because I pay for protonmail. It is frustrating because I feel like I need to pay another VPN provider to get decent service. The client is ridiculously unstable and doesn't have the features found on other platforms. I

Right, these are exactly the types of claims we try to debunk in Linguistics 101. It is a horribly misleading article. If one wants to see if something about a language is difficult for human beings, I suppose one can look at the point in d

I work with a man in the Ecuadorian Amazon who is a member of an ethnic group that reached a low of possibly only 400 individuals before a cultural change that made them more open to marriage with outsiders and healed some internal fighting

It is well known that due to his economic interest in enslavement of native people he did not attempt a great deal of conversion. It is discussed in La Caida de Cristóbal Colón, for instance, in chapter 7. I believe there is a general conse

I think that in academic work this is reasonable. People sometimes claim to have done something novel, when it is clearly a repetition of something older. Perhaps the citations of the works being criticized didn't make it clear that th

In Ecuador a new mac is way too expensive for most people. The availability of used ones are low. I imagine this is because people can't afford them new so they don't have any to resell. Computer literacy is such that most people

It works with DuckDuckGo as well. I like the privacy focus of DuckDuckGo but it doesn't seem much better than Google when it comes to promoting garbage sites like slant.co over information written by a well informed human being.

This is why the British and people in the US do not act the same. The British have their behaviour while us Americans have our behavior. Totally different.
