But at age 6 you've already been immersed in the language for 6 years. The problem there is to link it to its written form.

When you learn a second language you have the baggage of the first language hindering you (talking about orthography here), and you normally don't start by speaking the language exclusively for 6 years before learning how to read. If you don't know what the language is supposed to sound like, of course it's hard to understand how to read in it.

Unless the ice rest on land, like in Antarctica, which the article points out.

> The people in nordic countries seem so naive to me. They trust their governments, their authorities to do this stuff, to both determine the greater good and then implement it. The political class couldn't possibly act immorally, for their own benefit, apparently.

Not everyone is happy with this change, if that makes you feel better.

Also, this is implemented by the city, by real people (yes, politicians are people) that Stockholmers voted for.

Political class as a concept doesn't make much sense in Sweden, just FYI.

I live quite far from Stockholm and commute there by train. My office is just outside of the zone.

Most people I know at work own a car, but no one drives to work. Why would they?

Seems like people driving in downtown Stockholm are the kind of people that can afford EVs anyway. (Of course, disabled people etc. But they are also covered by the new rules.)

Do people really go to NK by car?!

Maybe this video about how the Swedish Air Force uses the JAS-39 Gripen helps?

i² = -1, so it all works out

And, similarly, the 斤 (jīn) is defined as 500g.

Seems a bit overkill with a brand + domain name for every new vulnerability.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice find and all, but I'm really distracted by all the fluff.

I try to always add comments to such code that explicitly says exactly that. Something like:

> This is a best effort hack based on X and Y. It might not be 100% correct. Feel free to improve it.

How does this work? You have $1000, spend $600. You now have $400. How does the bank allow an overdraft here? Why isn't the transaction rejected?

I guess this is a debit vs credit card thing?

Our situation is the same. I think it works well because we are both quite restrictive by nature, so whenever one of us wants to buy something the other often encourages them.

Not sure how it would work with a couple that tends to spend more each month or a situation where one has an expensive hobby and the other doesn't.

Yes! I agree, it'd also be nice if the "select equipment you want to use" instead was "select what you have available".

I'm a noob. I have some stuff. Show me what I can do with it!

> It could be alternatively argued that the more complex syllable (due to more tones among other things) in Cantonese allowed it to retain single syllable words without having to add extra syllables to clarify any ambiguities.

Yes, pretty much.

From my understanding Mandarin has a lot of two-syllable words and in many of the words the second syllable doesn't add much, if any, additional meaning.

Contrast that with Cantonese, which I believe still uses a single syllable for most words. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

So it makes sense with less tones, because you have more syllables to disambiguate.

Not really the main point of my comment, but okay.

Firstly, mapping symbols to sound is arbitrary and based on convention.

I don't speak French, but I wouldn't say français.e.s is that much worse than français(e)s, pronunciation-wise. But I do agree that -.e.s is a bit odd. Kinda like w/ and w/o in English. I mean, seriously, why isn't it w. and w.o. like any other abbreviation.

Sounds like you have an ax to grind. The whole comment comes of as very dismissive of the feminist movement (which might be justified, I know nothing about feminism in France).

> [..] nor would I accept them if I got them (political militantism doesn’t make a good employee, especially if they pretend including women is a new thing).

I don't know what to make of this, you'd reject candidates because they used dots instead of parenthesis, citing political militantism?

<> is simply "<" or ">" in the same way you have >= (">" or "=") and <= ("<" or "=").

It's obviously not meant to look like ≠.

> In fact, learning English as a native Korean speaker, one of the greatest difficulty was asking questions - you can't just start your sentence and make it a question later, you have to mentally pause, construct your question in your head, and then invert the first word! It took me years.

This is quite interesting to hear, but I assume you mean that you always knew if you were going ask a question before you asked it. So the issue was the actual construction of the sentence itself?

If not, there are plenty of ways to bail out of a statement midway through a sentence.

- Korean is more efficient than English... right?

- Korean is more efficient than English, isn't it?

- Korean is more efficient than English? (raising intonation at the end)

Writing by hand leads to optimizations, such as not lifting the pen a lot. This means that the movement between strokes also gets drawn. A 10 stroke character might end up being one single continuous path (effectively 10 strokes + 9 connections). Depending on stroke order, the results can be wildly different. So consistency makes sense for the result to be intelligible.

Yup, I think some (all?) cities have banned ICE scooters. I only ever saw electric ones there (though this was 5 years ago now).

Proof of... proof?

There's a big difference between parsing HTML and

> using regex to parse data when the data you're scraping has a constant enough structure

Regex is fine, just don't parse the HTML itself.

The default Android keyboard (Google keyboard) had/has an issue like this. It really likes to auto-complete a to å and ä even though the keys are at opposite ends of the (Swedish) keyboard. If I wanted to write "här" (here) instead of "har" (have/has) I would've used ä...

A bit disappointed that it wasn't literally "the f-word" that was found.

You could use one guess of BCP to gain more information. That'd eliminate 3-4 out of 7 words in your example with the tradeoffs that you won't win with that guess in particular, but it's better on average

But what are you gonna do with that income if you're constantly working?

Defunct indeed. That was just me being defensive, and the video makes it very clear just how defunct/debunked the theory is. Thanks!

The Wikipedia article for this proposed language family is quite interesting. The linked article makes no mention of the Transeurasian family not being widely accepted. I wonder if these new findings help the proponents' case.
