Counterpoint: when people do this to me, I instinctively assume that the true reason is laziness. On top of that, I feel alienated – what, you think you're so important that you can brush me off just like that, and I'm not even wo

Thank you for the link to that paper. I've been looking for a casual but comprehensive analysis of the situation for a while. Thank you!

Mike, this is super cool. Two requests: 1) Cantonese doesn't have a flag. Maybe just use the Hong Kong one, at the risk of upsetting the rest of Guangdong? 2) For hanzi-based languages, it would be super awesome if you could (optionall

Whether or not it was the only possible outcome is a question of determinism, which at the quantum level looks like it should be answered with no. That doesn't mean, however, that the outcome is random; it rather depends strongly on th

I'm sure that he – as someone who spent years developing his own input method as a hobby – is acutely aware of all of this. Still, as a side project, I would consider this a success: he's done his research and he came up with a re

Hear, hear :) Same for many others, e.g. Montserrat or many of Vernon Adam's designs. That being said, I find the redesign wonderful and long overdue. Maybe now they'll find the time to update their collection.

You know what, I've found it immensely valuable to get acquainted with Haskell, even though I've never used it (and likely never will). The concepts are timelessly beautiful, simple to understand, and can feel enlightening to run-

Super interesting, and somewhat disappointing as well. Also — off topic, but I really wish they'd provided graphs, or at least given those tables some formatting love. Does anyone know of similar benchmarks that have?
