Yes. I'd rather buy an indie game with SOVL and pixel art than a big production. Just seeing the photorealistic images on the steam page is a turn-off. I'll take a game looking like SimCity 2000 or 3000 over that. Btw I'm als

The whole story related to Rowling supposedly being transphobe is crazy. All that canceling because she stated in a twit that "person who menstruate" is a stupid circumlocution around the word woman. Then, like religious taboo, it

Well, kinda like this but more cursive as it has more joins. It's indeed the style I learned at school.

Yes of course, how else would I write? Stopping after each letter and writing them like printed font? I saw some people doing this (especially in East-Asian where people aren't taught proper handwriting for English) and this is madness

Probably not that much, at least when comparing to French or English orthographies. Those two are very complex, and it's easy to forget about it because we used them for decades. But try teaching reading, then writing a beginner in tho

I disagree. I'm writing on paper almost daily, for three different type of tasks: journaling, writing and language learning. The physical act of writing and contact with paper somehow appease my mind a bit when journaling in a way typi

This. And also the fact that read access can in most case be easily bypassed using Sci-Hub (or LibGen for books), while I don't see a way to get around APCs.

Yeah sure it take thousands of dollars to make a PDF. There is a bunch of small organizations and universities that manage to have journal free for reading *and* publishing. There's no reason to pay huge fees for "typesettings&quo

>Why are strings not more popular? It's probably the most popular data type out there, both in data and in codebases. URNs don't bring a lot more than strings on the table, so people go to the easy route.
