If you click the link for "man" it lists "servant" as one of the Old English meanings, so it stands to reason that a word consisting of the terms for "female" and "servant" would mean a "female s

Sounds like something that would make sense to implement on top of Twitch chat. You already have a payment infrastructure tgat allows attaching arbitrary amounts of money to each message, as well as a baseline reading for either free or sub

Are you a large movie studio with access to the ContentID system? Then you'd be able to just claim any video you like, with no penalty for false positives...

GEMA pissed people off greatly, but the problem wasn't that GEMA is inherently corrupt and harmful (which it is, because it's structured around the needs of large labels in a way that hurts small independent artists). The problem

Didn't know PNG supported palette mode. From a pure image quality standpoint, is there any difference between a palette PNG-8 and a still GIF?

Yes, but that doesn't mean that they consent to Facebook using that data. Whatsapp for example asks "read SMS" permission to verify your phone number. It also requires access to your contact list or else everyone's name

Is the sign up box for a mailing list so you'll be informed when it becomes available in your country? For me (Germany, mobile Firefox) it's completely overladen with animations that showcase all the wonderful file formats you can

A wonderful story, but I've found the sporadic use of German phrases detracted from the experience. Why is any given dialogue in English or in German? There was no discernible pattern. Were the characters themselves bilingual? That see

Today I learned that there were other thenes. I installed every service pack, but I never got them so I just always used classic. Luna was just too bright for my taste.

Maybe not need them, but want them. EA and Ubisoft both launched their own competing platforms, so they have a lot of leverage to negotiate with.

Passwords, if used correctly, are extremely secure. However 99% of my accounts are just not important enough to warrant that level of security. I don't worry about someone cutting off my finger in order to steal my Reddit account. My G

They only exist because nobles wanted to pretend that the food they eat is so much fancier than that of the peasants, so they insisted on using French to describe it.

I know what these words mean. Air is humid and sponges are damp, but in either case it means "slightly wet" and there is very little chance of confusion. There are valid reasons to have more words, such as English's seven

But only if necessary. In most cases the "meat" either implied ("What kind of meat is that?" "Pig") or replaced by the specific name of the cut (Schweineschnitzel, Putenbrust, Lammkotlett).

I am not particularly familiar with Spanish, but with German as my primary language I had the opposite impression that English is a language with an excessive amount of words. There were so many words that have different meanings but offer

The problem is that Japanese developers are not exactly easy to get a hold of. The biggest speed games are Mario and Zelda titles (and among those it's especially the older ones). There are speedruns with developer commentary [1] but i

The IDE is built into the client. You can choose whether you want to make a script's source code available, or if you want to ship your work as a black box. So while you can collaborate on scripts, you can't make a script that dow

You can always invent things first and name them later. Language is not a limiting factor to imagination. Linguistic determinism is something more among the lines of Newspeak from 1984 or Apple's Emoji Gun Control: By making it harder

That sounds like a cool idea, but a complete pain to implement. There's been bugs that crash iPhones with combining Arabic, or freeze Android devices by spamming LtR override. There's the Zalgo meme, where you drown out your words

It's not vaporware. It's available for purchase, and it fulfills its advertised purpose as a video game peripheral. The ecosystem of available games could be better, but it's far from stillborn.
