It didn't say you can't express the same thing. Of course you can. The point was the present progressive tense is unique to English. Also, the translation of present progressive in English is more often than not simple present in Romance languages. I only know French but, example "I am eating" would be "je mange" in most contexts. The French way to express progressive, as "je suis en train de manger" is relatively uncommon.

I typed the following out in reply to a similar and now deleted comment about German having "Ich bin am essen" etc.:

It's not a boring detail and you're missing the point.

In the examples given in French, German and Spanish, the primary verb is "to be". That is to say, you are primarily expressing your current state. The tense is present. You are expressing your current state and in particular what you are currently doing.

In English, present progressive is a first-class tense. When I say "I'm eating a sandwich", the primary verb is "to eat". I'm telling you my current state as a side effect only. The correct translation in French would be "je mange un sandwich". If the sentence was "I can't come because I'm eating a sandwich", the translation would probably be different.

We also use the same tense to express future or an intention, e.g. "I'm going to town tomorrow", and more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_continuous

It's odd to to see people disputing the uniqueness of the present progressive tense in English. It's very well known amongst scholars and teachers. It's one of the very first things anyone learning English has to learn and, conversely, one of the first things an English speaker needs unlearn when learning a foreign language.
Why segmentation is not personalisation
I own a number of prices of vintage/retro HP hardware including stuff that was from specific divisions (Agilent, IDACOM). I ended up having a number of questions on these things and I’m also in need of missing software. I wonder if these sort of things are on topic here, even though information on them outside the documentation I currently have is a log shot either way.
> This week the FT reported the EU is having trouble building a competition case against Amazon: its theory is that Amazon unfairly steers customers away from Marketplace vendors towards its own products, but one of Amazon’s arguments is apparently that Marketplace is more profitable, so its incentive is the opposite!

It's the Alibaba'ification of Amazon. The ideal - if you're Amazon - is to end up as a floating brand that owns a giant billboard mall platform. You want to leave the sellers to deal with most of the problem of not having any margin, as is typical in retail; with Amazon then having ~70% margins on advertising on their platform. And if you're going to bother with traditional retailing, push upstream to owned-brands, which gives you better margins, which is what their Amazon brand build-out is all about.

I'm surprised Shopify hasn't (seemingly) figured out this is the direction they have to go, full stop, if they want to keep that comical market cap from collapsing whenever sanity returns to the stock market. Scraping by on very weak margins a few pennies per transaction along with modest subscription fees isn't going to cut it (their operating income margin on trailing four quarters of $2.9b in sales was a horrific 3%). I'd bet on Shopify trying to aggressively leverage their position in tandem with advertising to try to create a fountain of cash. When they inevitably do it, turn to the dark side, it'll gradually make Shopify into a terrible platform.
Interesting. Do you have a link to the study ?

I had the same impression. Quite sad that this anti renewable propaganda bit taints the entire post.
This has another side: non-native speakers are expected to understand different accents and flavors of English just like an anglophone would. For example, as a Russian native speaker, I had real trouble comprehending even a slightest French accent, while having zero issues with others. I'd imagine there are a lot of ears "incompatible" with my own accent, so I spent a fair amount of time on getting rid of it.
To put that in context, in the UK the average wage is £38k (we have a much wider distribution than on the continent)

The most we'd pay in tax is £8k: https://listentotaxman.com/38000?

that covers all our health insurance as well. There is no copay, there are no "your condition isn't covered anymore". The only issue now is wait times, but thats because we're balls deep in a pandemic.
My impressions about ads is they are usually not interested in selling you what you actually need, but they try more to get you to feel like you should buy things you don't really need. I suspect it is because it's easier and much more profitable (we would spend less money if you only bought things we want need).

Learning to read english is not simple.

I've been learning dutch, and teaching my children to read (english, native language) The one thing that struck me is how impossible it is to "sound out" english. That is use the letters to make a stab at what the word will sound like.

Unlike dutch, the written word is only a slight guide as to how its supposed to sound.

I can't spell for shit in english, but I can spell quite well in dutch.

Every time I see someone mention 5950x on HN or Twitter, I check Best Buy to see if it's in stock, and so far it has never been available. It could be the standout desktop chip in its market segment, but sellers are asking over a grand for it on Amazon. If the average PC builder takes price and availability into consideration when choosing a CPU, then those factors matter too.
This looks great.

Of course. I agree with what I think you're getting at, specifically that not nearly enough richness trickled down. However, the poorest Americans today are still significantly better off than they were in most any previous decade or century because a bit of that wealth did trickle down.

There are mainly two types of data scientists, A and B [1].

Those B types are probably want to use Go for building data analytics pipeline similar to Pachyderm[2]. If you want to go the way of the compiled language for data science and numerical analysis the best bet now is probably Fortran. The fact that Swift for Tensorflow project was started and terminated recently really showed that there is a need for a proper and modern compiled language for data science and numerical analysis.

There is, however, a dark horse in the data science and numerical analysis in the programming languages race that perhaps can satisfy both type A and B data scientists. The dark horse is D language. It supports functional, object oriented, borrow checker, inline assembler, REPL, metaprogramming, CTFE, open and multi-methods, just to name several modern features suitable for data science and numerical analysis but admittedly the eco-system is rather poor as of now (e.g. no library for Arrow). It also very fast to compile and run even with GC (the GC is also configurable) and you can selectively opt out for no GC inside the same code base if blazing speed is your things.

But the glimpse of what it is capable of are there already albeit still in infancy compared to the mature languages like Matlab, R or Fortran [3][4]. But hey, Rome was not built in a day.

Maduro isn’t starving his people, that’s US sanctions. Putin is a social democrat that brought back the healthcare system after the shock therapy enforced by the US.

I’m not excusing crimes, I’m explaining you are being consistently lied to. Media in imperialist countries has a vested interest in perpetuating an incorrect but monstrous image of anyone opposed.

Were the missing WMDs in Iraq and the Nayirah testimony not enough to make you sceptical? Do you remember Galizia getting murdered over the Panama papers? Or Black Panthers getting murdered by police over feeding the poor? Or even just Assange being pursued and tortured over reporting on NATO crimes?
This is not that simple at all.
It's not about the French army having committed the genocide but having taken side and let the genocide happen for France political agenda. It's also about the fact that France took side for people committing the genocide and, worse, protected the actors after that.

I think it's really good that we finally can know what happened and why.
Awesome website

It's also worth mentioning that "a buyer who just asked a buying question" can be almost entirely met through contextual search (no need to track the user, just the question ala duckduckgo) - and so you can let go of an awful lot of previously held behavioural data (tracking people across multiple sites) - partly for privacy but also I have not seen any evidence it adds (significant) value
Maybe we should have. This was well over a decade ago now. It wasn't something we could easily prove either. We just had strong suspicions based on the timing and his behavior.
clip.exe works to and from WSL 2.

But if you run VcXsrv you can use the native Linux clipboard and have it shared between WSL 2 and Windows. This is what I do because then tools like Vim, the pass utility and other command line tools can write to and read from the native Linux clipboard and everything will work out of the box.

If you wanted to reproduce pbcopy / pbpaste in native Linux or WSL 2 you can set up aliases for:

alias pbcopy="xclip -selection clipboard"
alias pbpaste="xclip -o"

And in case you don't already have xclip installed in WSL 2, you can apt-get install xclip or use whatever package manager you have. I can't remember if xclip is installed by default in WSL 2 distros.
How will they prevent this from being abused?
These packages you mention are not suitable for the typical use cases of the finite element method. There are some packages in the Julia ecosystem that may be suitable. I have no recent experience on using them though.
> The “-ing” progressive form of present tense (“I am reading”) is unique to English from other European languages (in French “Je mange” can be translated as both “I eat” and “I am eating.”)

At a minimum, Dutch and Spanish, among European languages, are also generally recognized as having a present continuous/progressive tense. Though this is somewhat arbitrary:

In English, the sense of the present continuous can be subsumed by the simple present, too, the present continuous emphasizes the continuous nature, but is not essential to communicate it.

And French has a construct that serves a similar emphatic function (être <conjugated in simple present> en train de + <infinitive>)

So this construct that communicates the exact same thing is not a present continuous tense but the english (to be <conjugated in the present tense> + present participle) construct is a present continuous tense; a fairly arbitrary distinction as to which productions that are applied to verb roots to form an expression which conveys a particular semantic combination of tense (time/location), aspect, mood, etc. is considered a grammatical tense and which productions that serve that purpose are instead considered idiom or something else that isn't a grammatical tense.

Didn’t know it was tax collectors who redistributed wealth during the Russian and French Revolutions.

The comment I replied to indicated violence being used to redistribute wealth. Is one not allowed to defend oneself against violent mobs?
The probability is just pow(0.5, N) where N is the student population, assuming that the distribution has no skew, assuming independence between students, and assuming the students are drawn randomly from the general population. It's an exponentially decreasing function, so it becomes incredibly unlikely for large student bodies under these assumptions.

I disagree with this argument, but that's the basis of it.
Did you read the article as well as look at the pictures?

You do know that it's about someone who plagiarized another person's academic papers as, apparently, his entire output as a Master's student?
Yes, with this example, it is possible to translate the foul language nearly bidirectionally.

The OP was enquiring upon an example of a dick conversation, hence an example of the use of the word «хуй» (a cock / a dick) to illustrate how productive the word formation can be in the Russian foul language.

Another quirk in the sample sentence is that the direction of the locomotion is not explicitly mentioned anywhere but is rather conveyed by way of a specific verb prefix «по-».

Russian verbs of motion can be uni- or multidirectional and employ prefixes to emphasise motion aspects.

The same sentence can be changed to: «Эти хуи, на хуй, это захуярили и потом вместе захуярили отсюда на хуй» to mean «this bunch of not very nice men have done a sloppy job (of something) and then have locomoted out of here in a particular direction (likely having something specific on their mind)». The prefix of «за-» disambiguates the direction and the purpose of the motion. Also notable that «захуярили» means both, «to have done a sloppy job of something» and «to get out of here / commence the locomotion».
Unpopular opinion and it's not applicable to the US.

Because it's unpopular, it also won't get discussed anywhere... ( My perception could obviously be wrong, bit it would get silenced immediately for bringing it up)

We have a powerfull union here in Belgium ( connections with politics) and since a lot had already accomplished, they keep fighting for ridiculous things for the mere purpose of keeping themselves relevant.

One of their most favorite is classifying teachers as very hard labor. Coming from a background where my dad worked 18/24 and 7/7 that stings. I know multiple teachers and I don't consider that hard labor. It's important labor, yes. But they don't have a lot of stress of other professions, not much working hours and a lot of vacation.

Keeping your course up to date every year is not stressful ( if that even happens. A lot of professors copy-paste their work)

Important note: depending on the students age they teach ( toddlers, middle aged, adults. I do believe it gets harder and they need to add more hours. But classifying everyone as one is a mistake in my POV.

That need is fulfilled by languages like Fortran, which is quite modern with OOP and generics, the age of punch cards is long gone.

Go is nowhere close to offer such capabilities.

It's likely not as bad as in France, but in a shifting economy, German unions are still hurting the manufacturers. Just last year they got the CEO of Volkswagen fired for wanting to invest massively in electric cars. Workers specialized in ICE drivetrains can't have that. Much easier to block the innovation at board level than to retrain. That will go on until somehow union dominance is overcome or the companies are dead in the water against new competitors.
You are right but still there are no countries that go as far as to deny Egypt's right to exist as a state.

Also Suez Canal is not a new invention and everyone is already using that, as the alternatives are worse. This would not be the case with that hypothetical Israeli channel, as it would be brand-new, and the alternatives (Suez Canal) would be better.

Even accents from Britain itself can be weird. Ever spoken to a Scot, a Liverpudlian, or a Brummie?

Even people who've spoken English daily for decades will do a double take if they're not used to it.

If you listen carefully, the range of vowels is quite wide, for the same word in different accents. The probably throws off a lot of people.
I know what a rate is. It’s true we don’t know how much debt is too much but apparently it’s enough to spook the bond markets.

rising interest rates in treasury yield have been caused by the bond market as a response in part to this figure increasing to much too fast. Rising yields is bad news for debt holders.

Or just ask any family about the increases in their food bill some reporting 20%, but hey! The CPI looks great.

Difference is that MEB or Ultium are developed internally in US or EU. They gonna engineer essentially identical part that most people not gonna care for. Differentiator is UX - this is where Tesla still winning and where Apple wants to step in.

Plus manufacturing in Taiwan gets you near China costs + top notch engineers minus wariness of Chinese EVs (which most people scoff at yet they are inevitable winners).

p.s. I don't think it makes sense for Apple to be selling cars themselves. Rather they can make new iteration of CarPlay and partner up with Foxconn to sell the package to traditional car companies or other third parties - who just select trim, tyres and cabin based on the local market demographics.

This sounds like a pretty plausible motive and source of the Gates conspiracy theories. Some loud and aggressive minority strongly disagrees with their objective, but figures that saying «contraception is bad» or «helping poor people in Africa survive is bad» is passé. Instead, they go full-tilt spreading vicious conspiracy theories to discredit them.

An army of useful idiots picks them up and spreads them worldwide, lowering the rate of people who will accept help from Gates the presumed supervillain. Partial success.

Useful tool indeed, thanks for sharing. I use clipper[1], which delivers a similar function through a different implementation.

I agree with the premise of the article. I started going to International school (all classes in English) at age 9. Got two University degrees in England. Have several academic papers published. There are still moments where I'm made aware that I'm not a native English speaker - for example I sometimes translate German figures of speech into English, where they don't exist.

However I'd disagree that the article's premise is unique to English. I've been learning Japanese for the past few years, and while it's definitely more difficult to learn than English for someone who's coming from another European language, I think the long tail of being native-like is equally infinite. It's just based on different things. Examples would be は vs が (this is a beginner-level topic as well, but comes back in a different way much later), sentence-level pitch accent, the fact that writing in formal language is basically the world's most elaborate game of madlibs, etc.

Similarly, if you're using tmux there is the very handy tmux-fingers[1] plugin that kind of works like the vim-shortcut browser addons but inside tmux.

You initialize the plugin and it shows you hints of what to copy, you press the wanted key and it copies the text next to the hint. Works with bunch of things (hashes, urls, numbers) and usually highlights what I want to copy, otherwise tmux with it's normal keyboard shortcuts work fine to manually select things.
