Probably not.

Most of our words are content words, and the near-duplicates are, as you say, the result of borrowing from various other languages. These words don't serve a grammatical role and we could make do without them just fine.

The words that serve to replace grammatical features that exist in other Indo-European languages are a very small subset of our words—words like "will", "may" the prepositions, and similar. Non-natives will reach for other words to substitute for these grammar words when they're unsure which grammar word to use, but I don't think that's why those other words exist.

Memory models are indeed important. That's why Apple extended ARM with total store order capability. A CPU can efficiently implement more than one memory model.
Unfortunately, the reason why they’re sitting on the market is because they are too expensive, not because we have enough houses.

Edit: There are a few reasons why they’re more expensive. There’s the interest rates, then there’s the cost of insurance which is surging in certain places. The market will eventually correct itself but it will take time.
I'm suspicious of CrowdStrike now. If we rip the cover off would we find that it's little more than a reskin of McAfee?
I think this was done because while LLVM was built to be academic, Clang was built to be fast and beat GCC, and so ended up overly low level.

A nicer and newer approach is to use an intermediate bytecode that lowers to LLVM IR; Swift, GHC, and I'm sure several other examples I haven't thought of do this.

I'd like to see this for C because I think -O0 is a bad debugging experience, eg because system libraries are still optimized, and an interpreter running on a C-like bytecode would be better. Really the only thing -O0 is good for is working around compiler bugs.

Lending is really a balancing item on the accounts. By default it happens automatically and costlessly in the currency of issue.

It’s only when the currency in question is somebody else’s currency that what most people understand as lending and borrowing actually happens.

With a country’s own currency it’s more refinancing to a higher interest rate to provide a basic income to those who already have money - all based upon the belief that there is a magical unobservable interest rate that will balance the system. If only we could find it.

A state operating its own currency is self financing. [0]

How to Compile Your Language – Guide to implement a modern compiler for language
>English is not "sloppy", not any more than any other language.

Yes it is, and you say so yourself:

>Unfortunately its spelling was standardized just before it underwent a huge change in pronunciation, and its habit of borrowing words from other languages without changing their spelling, has left it with fairly chaotic orthography.

>A few phonetic features - unusual consonants like th, difficult to learn rules around stressed syllables, nasty consonant clusters (squirrel!) - do make it tricker than it could be for second language learners.

Most other languages don't borrow words so profligately, and have much more regular relationships between their written form and their pronunciation.

>but many features of modern English are the result of so many people learning and speaking it.

Right, and that makes the language "sloppy", which was my point before. You can't have a language shared by so many different people and cultures as a common trade
language and have it stay as orderly and precise as German, for example.

>But the grammar is generally not too difficult - no grammatical gender, no case aside from a few pronouns, outside of a handful of irregular verbs conjugations are pretty easy

Yes, and these features all make the language much easier for people to adopt as an international language, despite the sloppiness. I have a hard time imagining Russian or German having had this success in a parallel universe. As an example, look at Dutch: the Netherlands is another country that got rich from trade, and was also a colonial power. But who outside of the Netherlands speaks Dutch? South Africa is the only place the language actually went anywhere. Meanwhile, the former colonies of Spain all still use Spanish.
Microsoft tried to push back on vendors wanting kernel access in 2006 <https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2006/10/7998/>

"It's not a loss if you don't sell" is harmless for stocks, but has some negative externalities for real estate. REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) demonstrate the issue for commercial real estate where in order to lower the rent for a property the newest shareholders have to give up their shares. So instead of lowering the rent and recording a loss, junior shareholders would prefer to own a part of an empty lot hoping a business will come along and start renting.

Having millions of empty houses near millions of homeless people is a direct result of real estate owners trying to maximize the value of their assets. The solution to this would be to find a way to decommoditize housing, but that would never happen because that's socialism. Land value tax may be an easier jump to disincentive this inefficiency.

I am trying to load a file but it fails. I tried different URL formats:

- https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data/blob/master/data/events/15956.json
- https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data/raw/master/data/events/15956.json
- 15956.json

None of them worked. It would be good if the field already had an example filled in with the expected format, or maybe a better hint in the error message indicating why the file was not loaded. Was it my URL or another internal problem?

Still, it is a very interesting demo, and just like airstrike suggested (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41096570), now that the main engine is in place, more filters would be make this even more interesting. Well done.

The definition of a phoneme is that there exists some pair of words that are only distinguishable because of a difference in that specific sound (called 'minimal pairs').

As a trivial example: "hat" and "bat" => /h/ and /b/ are phonemes.

A more complicated example: "teeth" and "teethe" => /θ/ (voiceless th) and /ð/ (voiced th) are phonemes.

We have many other sound variants—phones [0]—which are important to get right if you want to not have an accent but which aren't actually used to distinguish one word from another. Pairs of these are called allophones [1], and probably the easiest example to think of in English is all the many ways we pronounce /t/.

What this definition means is that you can't get it under 40 if your goal is to be understood 100% of the time. We have 40-49 sounds (depending on accent) that are used to distinguish words, and if you don't have one of those in your toolbox then you will occasionally be misunderstood.

You could probably select a few that make it unlikely to come up often (/θ/ and /ð/ are good candidates), but you could also likely do the same for any other language, Navajo included.

People are busy. Not everyone is willing to spend their time diving into the latest ad block tricks. Some have decided that it's a better use of time to just avoid sites that use dark patterns and aggressively anti-user-friendly design to get you to click on ads instead of the actual content you came to see. This doesn't mean they lack skill — it's possible they just have different priorities.
> E.g., almost any linguist will tell you that you can't objectively measure a language's difficulty, because it always depends on what's the native language of the person asking the question.

Eh, I’m not sure. There are probably ways to infer whether or not e.g. Mandarin Chinese is harder for Chinese children to learn than English is for American children to learn. In fact I’ve seen a fairly convincing argument that this is the case!
This tool looks like "submodules, but lighter", while repo is "submodules, but heavier". Looks to me like the motivation is for dependencies that are not hard enough to justify a submodule.

Repo seriously sucks to use, but I also can't imagine many tools living up to AOSP-type workloads without being specifically designed for it. My gripe with repo is that it's really hard to pin the entire repo state if you have a bunch of prototype patches across multiple subrepos. I usually end up having to modify the XML directly.
> Because meta-mathematical proofs often use transcendental induction and associated "non-constructive" and "non-finitistic" arguments. The diagonilization argument itself is an instance of something that can not actually be implemented on a computer because constructing the relevant function in finite time is impossible.

Humans reason about transcendental induction using finite time and finite resources-the human brain (as far as we know) is a finite entity. So if we can reason about the transfinite using the finite, why can’t computers? Of course they can’t do so by directly reasoning in an infinite way, but humans don’t do that, so why think computers must?

Nope, they aren't ready to pay for another platform that is their choice . If customers paid for linux or mac support there is no shortage of developers ready to cater to that.

The difference is UX and aesthetics. Planet eBook is a more pleasant experience if you're a casual consumer browsing around for a well-known book to read, while Gutenberg's site suits someone with more specific needs wanting to explore the long tail of public domain content.

To borrow a DevOps analogy, Gutenberg's website handles books as cattle, Planet eBook treats books a bit more like individual kittens insofar as they're hand-picked with (presumably) humans selecting the extracts and covers. The Gutenberg site has an early 2000s programmatically generated UI aesthetic that is similar to Internet Archive and the Wikipedia homepage. (At least in the case of Wikipedia, I've heard there's considerable community resistance to any significant UI changes - it's not just a budget constraint.)

A UX example. Search for "1984" on Gutenberg doesn't yield the book of that name. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=1984&submit_s.... Planet eBook site does: https://www.planetebook.com/?s=1984

To be clear, Gutenberg has been an incredible resource and gift to society. It's just that there's a need for custom front-ends to match different needs.

Dutch isn't an international language because they just weren't as good at colonisation as Britain, or Spain. (And Belgium would like a word with you if you think no-one else speaks Dutch.)

Look at the international languages before English - Latin and Greek - both beasts of languages to learn. Vulgar Latin's simplified offspring (French, Italian, Spanish) are largely the result of second language learners casting off the bits of Latin they couldn't or wouldn't learn.

I don't believe that English borrows more profligately than any other language. Historically it was hugely influenced by Norman French but nowadays I'd suggest more languages borrow from English than English does from other languages. The eternal fight between the Académie française and the people who actually speak French over borrowed words vs "native" ones is a good example of this.
That's a good insight, and I agree with everything you wrote.

Side note about horoscopes, or something similar. My sister is pretty far out on the 'woo' side of things, and one of her side gigs is doing 'readings', based on some method that (as far as I can tell) she largely made up. She's a bit canny (at least with me!) about the extent to which she believes in the fortune telling side of it, but she firmly believes that the process opens people up for self reflection, and that the conversations she then has with her clients (some of whom have been with her for years) provide real value. I believe her about that! She's a wise person, and I value her advice a great deal, even though I excuse myself from the 'woo'.

All that's to say that self-reflection is useful and good, and deep conversations with trusted people even better. I try not to be too critical of anything someone finds leads them to those valuable experiences. (Unless, of course, it costs life-changing amounts of money, or otherwise damages other parts of participants' person or identity. There's a special hell - or should be - for people who prey on vulnerable people in those ways.)
It's similar to when folks say "big corporations" or "oil companies" are responsible for climate change. No Karen, you are the reason those companies can and do sell their products. It's a method of diverting personal responsibility, IMHO.

> And without employees there would not be any business. At the end of the day they put the work as well.

Successful businesses always attracts employees, that has never been an issue. So the scarcity here comes from the business side and not the employee side.

The other way around would be that employees starts a successful business if there is none around, but that isn't the case. Good setups that enables good jobs are hard to create, you see what happens when those leave in the Midwest after the car industry left.

In the end it is up to each area to ensure their workers are competitive on a global stage, either price wise or skill wise or some other advantage. Otherwise there wont be anyone who wants to pay them.

Arch has a pretty useful key enrollment tool that I'm sure exists on other distros too. Only command line, though. There's also tooling for enrolling a custom key database if your firmware doesn't accept the standard API by creating a bootable key management update tool with your preferred keys.

There's a guide for both approaches here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware.... You'll need to make sure whatever distro you use has the right hooks to sign the boot images after each upgrade (i.e. an apt callback rather than a pacman callback) if you're not using Arch, of course.

Using the sbenroll tool, the process is three commands (generate keys, enroll keys, sign current bootloaders) plus whatever extra BIOS interfacing logic your computer needs on top of normal secure boot stuff like unlocking the BIOS through a password.

If you don't have rent control or NIMBY blocking construction, you've got a free market and everything will be fine. The legality of Airbnb is completely orthogonal to this.

I'm not even suggesting that cities should ban or restrict Airbnb, just that doing so can be rational and business owners need to take the risk of this into account. Given the delta in profitability, the market does understand this.

I did not claim that Airbnb units aren't fungible with rentals, that's obviously true, and rereading this discussion I don't understand how you believe I made that argument.

Housing prices are "sticky", which means when demand goes down, prices don't fall quickly - things like this happen initially. Then if it continues, prices eventually drop.
This is up from 60% a year ago, so it's not like this is some huge aberration. Tbh it seems like a odd metric to use as an indicator, since it seems like more of a reflection of how long ppl are leaving listings up rather than how quickly stuff is selling.

The fact that they didn't go with more straightforward metrics like transaction volume or avg price tells me there's nothing really there, and this is just content marketing built on confirmation bias.
