There's r/linguistics, tho quality content and well-intentioned participants are limited. Y'know, general reddit things. There are some other subdiscipline specific subreddits too, tho all fairly small. This is a multireddit I made that contains the ones I know of: https://www.reddit.com/user/gkayaalp/m/linguistics/

The best community I know of is the LinguistList. I follow their RSS feeds to keep on top of what's happening in the field, but they also maintain many mailing lists, which you might wanna give a look.

There's also linguistics.stackexchange which does have some good content and answers.

There's some small linguist presence on Humanities Commons (https://hcommons.org).

LingBuzz is like an arXiV--discussion board hybrid thing.

If you're into conlanging, I know that some communities/subreddits exist but IDK the names or URLs, unfortunately.

Other than that sadly we don't have anything to the extent that CS or physics enjoy.

Edit: You're welcome, BTW. If you want to ask about anything more specific, resources or otherwise, I'd love to help.
Hello, I have worked on campaigns in Detroit and throughout the state, so I have some clarity on the ways in which the city and the state’s elections can be fraught. If the supposed anomalies in voting patterns amounted to meaningful misconduct, the 2 GOP commissioners would not have certified Livonia, which experienced anomalies at a proportionately higher rate than Detroit. What you are sharing is evidence that the process has been increasingly captured by partisan interests, which is bad for everyone.
> Among this powerful elite which include all Central Committee members and provincial standing committee members, the share of women has gone up from a dismal 7.6% to a still-dismal 8.4% from the 18th CC to the 19th CC. Among the post-62 cohort active in the 19th CC, only 11% of the elite are women. To be sure, as more cadres in the post-62 cohort enter the vice-provincial elite, the share of women may rise, but it would be surprising if this cohort had more than 15% of women in the end, which, again, is still dismal. The small share of women among the more promising members of the post-62 cohort suggests that the gender pattern in the CCP elite will continue with the dismal status quo of one female Politburo member at each congress, along with two to four full Central Committee members and a handful of alternate members. This status quo may well persist until the 22th Party Congress in 2032, based on current trajectories.

I count four "dismals" :-)
It's actually a marvel that it can even JIT translate the output of another JIT...
Well this statistics on "elite university" is close to meaningless in analyzing the current iteration of CCP leaders.

The reason being that current iteration mostly are 50 years or older. Put them as born before 70s, at the time of their age of entering university, pretty much any one of them are elite in the absolute sense, when compared to US concept. Note that it was until late 90s that the higher education is considered accessible to more people.

This study is kind of too shallow in this sense. But that's expected, judging from how the US president's understanding of China...
I mean, hacker news can probably also identify users based on which articles they click on, and how often they jump straight to the comments. I hope they don't.

But a system such as I'm describing is probably the only one that can be entirely consistent with the two disparate requirements of fully anonymizing users, and being useful to both programmers and ophiologists studying different things called "python".
and then...otoh...there was Sparta.
I’m very familiar with Safari address bar issues, where sometimes Safari just fails to navigate to a URL and you get an audible bell, or just general weirdness when you type too fast, and can say I have yet to experience these same issues in 14. I’m sure there are other problems but Safari has generally improved with every release.

RE: extensions, I run Adguard for Safari and that’s pretty much it; it’s free and it catches most ads. Safari also has built in tracker blocking now, which is nice to have but more or less ignorable.

The nice thing about having Safari be your main browser is that you can reserve Chrome for development, and having a vanilla Chrome browser where content scripts don’t haphazardly log things to the console or block requests is really nice.

> 1. You're not going to get 20 hours of battery life.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not going to get 20 hours of battery life in real world usage on the M1 either. The early tests show about 10-12h, which is the same as my (and many other) laptops under regular usage.

> 2. Don't forget it's not just the M1—it's the unified memory, the 8 GPU cores and the 16-core Neural Engine. Most CPU and GPU-intensive apps are going to run faster on the M1 than on your machine. Even x86-64 apps using Rosetta 2 on an M1 Mac may run faster, since those apps are translated to native code on the M1.

Now it feels like you're just regurgitating marketing talking points. Can you tell me what "unified memory" even is exactly? Is it zero-copy support, because AMD has had that on its APUs since... 2013 or thereabouts. Is it LPDDR4 on a pop package, because all that means to me as an end user is I can never upgrade my memory and that I'm limited 16GB of memory (which I regularly go over - I am using 19GB of RAM right now just with browser tabs open). As for performance, we already know from the early testing that the M1 under-performs 8C Zen2 for heavy MT workloads like compiles and renders, so ... what are you saying exactly, somehow running software via emulation/translation will magically make that faster?

> 3. Mac's SSD is probably faster; it's essentially a 256GB cache for the processor.

Again would you simply assume that a Mac's SSD is "probably faster"? It in fact is not. The 256GB SSD on the M1 MBA was tested at 2676MB/s reads, my value NVMe SSD, a $200 2TB ADATA SX8200PNP does 2917 MB/s on my laptop. As for SSD as cache - what are you talking about? L2/L3 latency is typically about 10ns latency. NVMe latency is typically on the order of hundreds of microseconds, roughly 10,000X slower.

> 4. The Mac can run iOS/iPadOS apps too.

Poorly, but I mean, but surely this irrelevant to Linux performance?

> 5. If done right, Linux compiled for the M1 will likely run faster on an M1 Mac than it does on a machine like yours, especially if Apple provides a way to access certain hardware features.

Which hardware features? This is rhetorical. I know this is just hand-waving.

> We’ll have to see what happens but expect these machines to be pretty popular with users, even those who need to run Linux when that the distros are updated.

We'll see what happens. You can track the state of Docker here, for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25119396

> We shouldn't forget that the underpinnings to all of this is Darwin, the BSD-derived Unix layer which is already running natively on M1, including the compiler and the rest of the toolchain.

Darwin/macOS may be POSIX compatible, but it is not production compatible with Linux. Like lots of other devs, I've used Macs in the past (for many years) and you always run into compatibility issues small and not so small until you're either running either a completely parallel devchain via Homebrew or MacPorts, or in a VM. Honestly, WSL these days is a more Linux-friendly dev environment than macOS. But then again, it's even easier/better to run Linux and Docker these days.
IMO this is a stronger reason - it's not that nobody gets the intended meaning, it's that enough people get the unintended one and every HN thread is derailed. If that's the sentiment on a community with downvotes and a strong culture of "we just care about the technical issues", imagine the sentiment on a team considering adopting it.

FWIW I will never proactively advocate for this DB or try it out because I don't want other coworkers to feel squicked. I'll do my job if I find myself on a team using it, of course, but in my many years working on software, I've found that you can't make the computers happy unless the people typing into the computers are happy. Limiting the pool of people who can be happy reading CockroachDB docs when they're paged at 2am for an outage seems not worth the chance that it might page us at 2am slightly less.
I'd prefer the LGPL to the MPL for projects where a less viral copyleft is wanted.
I think Android and iOS killed the idea that you're ever going to be able to use a bunch of apps that behave consistently, because nowadays you're always using apps on at least two different platforms (phone and desktop). And it's far more important that Discord on my phone should look and feel like Discord on my desktop than having it match my other phone apps or my other desktop apps. So people have got over the idea that the platform is important and that apps need to match the platform conventions (rightly IMO; the platform is there to support the applications, not the other way around - of course it would be better if the platform makers could come together and agree some consistent cross-platform UI conventions that every app could use everywhere, but they didn't, so here we are).

> The Hakka are an impoverished and stigmatized subgroup of Han Chinese whose settlements are scattered from Jiangxi to Sichuan. Socialist revolution meshed well with the Hakka tradition of militant dissent, so that their 3 per cent of the mainland population has been three times more likely than other Han to hold high position. Six of the nine Soviet guerrilla bases were in Hakka territory, while the route of the Long March moved from Hakka village to Hakka village.(Compare Maps 1, 2, 3 and 4.)1 In 1984, half the Standing Committee of the Politburo were Hakka, and the People's Republic and Singapore both had Hakka leaders, Deng Xiaoping and Lee Kwan Yew, joined by Taiwan's President Lee Teng-Hui in 1988.

> Hakka political history remains almost entirely undiscussed, and Chinese sources virtually never use the word "Hakka," but a vital subset of political alliances appears as soon as Hakka networks are decoded. Hakka solidarity also illuminates how a small sub-ethnic group can gain significance when it meets an historic opportunity. In the early 20th century Hakka poverty made land reform worth fighting for at precisely the moment when socialist organizers desperately needed the traditional Hakka strengths: mobility, military prowess, strong women and a strategically-useful common language.

While at the same time, imposing huge tariffs on other products (notably sugar), drastically increasing the prices of those products domestically. So if you're one of the people concerned about the usage of HFCS in pretty much everything, the blame lies squarely at the feet of the government for artificially raising the price of sugar.
I was going to negatively answer your comment until I remembered that I have had [pull]rebase=true in my config for almost 10 years, so it have always been the "normal behaviour" to me. I never looked back to this.

So I agree with you, the default pull behaviour that pollutes the branch with useless merge commits is plain stupid.
Disagree hard. This piece is interesting because it is a relatable window into the history of database concepts and what it's like being on teams that work on them. For anyone who has done serious work on databases its a fascinating read. For example, IBM was working on a cloud native analytical database that separated storage from compute!? They could have had the next snowflake on their hands.
It's long since targeted aarch64 on Linux though, so it's not too surprising to me that they have it ready so quickly.
Were they really "far off" outside of Wisconsin and Miami-Dade county? Those were the only two results that seemed truly surprising. Results like North Carolina going from Biden ahead by 1% to Trump ahead by 1% or Michigan going from Biden up 7% to up 3% are perfectly normal polling errors. In a normal election, I think there would have been a good chance that the polling miss in Wisconsin would have been an afterthought after Biden was declared the winner late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
My favorite part is the tooling. For example when you hover over a method name in VS 2019 it will show you its signature and what parameters it takes. If you right click on it and select "Go to definition" it will show you the code for the method. Just above the method name you'll a little chunk of text that says "2 References" which you can click on to see all of the places in your project where the method is invoked and links to review them. What makes ASP.NET fun is the quality and completeness of the tooling.

Surprised you didn't mention the more salient implication: cockroaches are bugs.
An arms race is a problem if it drains the resources of both participants. But the situation is so unequal here that this "arms race" would be more akin to a checkmate in one. Imagine this arms race would force both Russia and the US to invest $100BN more annualy in nuclear weapons. That would be economically devastating for Russia (who has a current defense budget of about $65 BN), and it would barely register for the US, with a current defense spending of $700 BN.

You're still imagining a centralized solution with a single source of truth and less power than Git. Git history is a directed acyclic graph, not a single linear timeline.
Be that as it may, even you concede these were "anomalies". So Krebs sounds like a partisan hack to me. Some places are still counting ballots. Some are finding misplaced ballots, or "glitches" which just happen to always benefit Biden, and so on. Dead people voted. This is all fishy AF.

Assume this is deliberate, since real domain hijackers would use a valid cert. Also helps to ensure browser vendors don't disable cert validity bypass. Very clever.
Extremely dangerous idea down the rabbit hole towards annihilation of open society. Reprehensible, but not imminently-dangerous, speech must be allowed because that is, unfortunately, the price (tradeoff) of an open and free society. Otherwise, it becomes a more closed, fascist society with thoughtpolicing and political correctness enforced by law by the fashions of those with power. F that!
> Fructose is the monosaccharide and is the problem

Glucose is also a monosaccharide.

"sugar" (table sugar, maple syrup, etc) are mainly sucrose, which is one part fructose and one part glucose (joined together, into a disaccharide)

I agree that fructose is the troublesome part of this pair. But when people say "sugar", they aren't referring to fructose, they're referring to sucrose.
> phrasing everything as a question.

I wonder if this is generational or cultural?

Personally, I dislike trying to interface with a machine using natural language, because I know it can’t really understand me, and I’d rather read and interpret the results for myself than have an algorithm pick the “best”.

I actually find speaking to machines (e.g. automated phone systems, Siri etc) using natural language quite embarrassing, as if we were pretending that real life was like Star Trek.

“It seems like some of these people were people who don’t buy that part of our product line right now are eager for us to develop silicon to address the part of the product line that they’re most passionate about,” Federighi told me. “You know that their day will come.

Other way around no, the Krebs in the news is the different Krebs?

Electron performance is a lot better than Swing in terms of latency and startup time. Electron may use a lot of memory or whatever but that doesn't really matter; how fast it feels to the user is what matters. Meanwhile even basic Swing applications tend to come with a splash screen like they think they're Photoshop (remember Azureus, a freaking torrent client that took about 10s to start up?).
Right -- what I was commenting on was that if you have the Mac version of CS6, you can no longer "cross-grade" to the PC version (or vice-versa).
So the M1 computers all support 2 displays—1 internal and 1 external for the laptops, both external for the Mini.

That's still flagged as passive voice by this abomination of an editor.

> Phrases in green use passive voice.

The meaning of that is less clear than the original. The phrase isn't using anything. We are talking about how it was written: facts about its construction that happened to it. The only way we can do that honestly and concisely is with passive voice because the phrase is only passively involved.

Rules like these are toxic nonsense.

Same. Safari is by far the smoothest experience for me today.
I have a Surface Pro (2017), which comes with W10 Pro by default, and I can confidently say that Windows 10 Pro still nags the user.

The most prominent example is the full screen nags that, although can be skipped, use dark patterns to trick the user into changing settings.

Since I use windows with a local user account, instead of a Microsoft account, it often nags me to switch. Even when using a Microsoft account to sign in it still nags to set a pin to log in, instead of just using a password. I haven't found any setting to disable these permanently.

Windows 10 LTSC is probably the best option, although I haven't tried it personally.

Thinking you can design a better search engine by yourself is either egotism or ignorance. Assuming you based it on state of the art search engine research, and could somehow avoid patent encumbrance, it'd still take you 5 years to match Google's results (and even then not likely) sans all the SEO bullshit.

Most people still believe that it's possible for one search engine to help anyone find anything without it knowing anything about them, which is just ridiculous. To get good search results you practically have to read someone's mind. Google basically does this (along with their e-mails, and voicemails, and texts, and web searches, and AMP links, and PageRanked crawls, and context-aware filters) and they still don't always get it right.

There is no magic algorithm that replaces statistical analysis of a large corpus along with a massive database of customized rulesets.
