Iirc Wilhelm rewrote and Jacob Grimm was against it.

But it must also be understood that the first edition already was a retelling of story material and not a true transcription of the tales told.

It’s also that they actually didn’t have all that many sources when collecting stories.

Sometimes I feel like the industry has just given up on solving people problem and is trying to fix stuff with Dockerfiles and yamls..

I would say if German english (Denglish) would pick up French english Idiosyncracies and vice versa, so if the speech patterns aren't just a result of making mistakes in a foreign language, but if they are acquired by other speakers. The Euro-English article gives as an example of Euro-English "Planification" for "Planning" which seems to stem from french / spanish https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/planification . So if the Germans start using planification they would have learned it from the french/spanish Euro-english speakers (I never heard "Planifikation" in German although its actually a word in the dictionary, I looked it up). And that would mean that certain Euro-English features propagate throughout Europe and are more than just Denglish/Frenglish/Swenglish and more than just English-learners messing up vocab/grammar.

While we are talking about language, there definitely are also those folks who move abroad and after a few years when they return they have picked up peculiarities of the language of their host country. The daughter of a neighbor moved to Paris for example and after a few years she started to sound more french. Still spoke perfect german but with an accent. Similarly a coworker who is a US expat in Germany told me he caught himself using some Denglish constructions.

It's an interesting page, but I think at the moment it only summarizes common errors of english-as-second-language speakers of other European languages. But there might be a pattern there.

Also I doubt that there is a continuity between the mentioned Erasmus students and staff in the European-union for example. I would assume that's a later addition to the wikipedia article when the most likely subject of Euro english is about patterns of the use of english-language in the EU bureaucracy. Maybe a better title would be EU-administrative English or something of the like.

What's not so often talked about is of course that the pronunciation of english by non-native speakers is different and I do think there is tendency for some convergence among some aspects of pronunciation that I observe in meetings and zoom calls at work. Aspiration of consonants, clearer separation of individual words. The result is that native-speakers - while being more eloquent in English which puts them at some advantage - sometimes have a disadvantage because their advanced use of language is not understood well. IIRC MTV Europe realized that british hosts wouldn't be understood across europe, when english-speaking french/german/italian hosts would.

It must have been something that predates arable farming (sowing seeds on acres), just timeline wise humanity spread before farming became a thing.

On the other hand I don't think that this must be a one-factor kind of a game changer thing. I could totally think that two to three changes occured in the food chain (meat, starches, food preservation, improved social skills), that combined amplified each other's effect and lead to the development.

If you are referring to sodium nitrite which is used (as part of curing salt) to preserve meats. Its also not terribly healthy in foods IIRC (of course its healthier to eat cured meat than to eat meat with Botulinum bacteria).

Thou shalst not make a machine in the likenes of the mind

If i recall correctly zensunni in the book also used/read the orange-catholic bible.

Overall I think the topic of religion stays vague apart from Herbert making use of the trope of a Messiah and using syncretism as a symbol that major shifts happened in the human societies that brought opposing religions together.

My comment of course was primarily about the swimming part (you involuntarily swallow some water).

Youtube is full of methods for making water safe on hiking trips / camping etc. Boiling can also be a honking great idea of course.

I grew up swimming in our local river. Obviously the river Thames is a different kind of beast with currents, etc.

However I nowadays would be very reluctant for swimming in rivers as soon as one is downstream of a sewer leading into the waters.

Furthermore the river I swam in is downstream of an area that industrially was heavily involved in galvanics. While the water itself is clean, who knows what heavy metals are still in the river bed and mud.

I can only imagine what the mud of the river Thames and its sources contains.

Oh and even in the mountains I remember how - on a hike - a friend contemplated drinking from that clear water stream shooting down the rocks and was glad not to have done that after seeing the poop from geese and cattle just a 100 m upstream.

Amoeba, E. coli etc are not fun.

Quite typically there is basic service via a welfare system and additional or premium service with insurances. I pay into the public health system at a rate proportional to my income (which is more than what I would pay if I had a worse-paying job for the same service), and I have an additional dental insurance which insures my teeth.

Not all public insurances perform these elections but some, e.g. Barmer GEK, Techniker Krankenkasse, DAK-Gesundheit, Kaufmännische Krankenkasse – KKH, Handelskrankenkasse und BKK RWE and I think also AOK.

Geographically it does, ever looked at a map?

Politically its part of Spain of course.

Forgejo forked Gitea IIRC because of problems in the Gitea governance of the Gitea trademark, a limited company was founded by some Gitea contributors, without consent of the larger group of Gitea developers.

So I only find it natural that a group of people who split off of Gitea took extra care to set up some kind of governance model.

Those who dislike the idea of a code of conduct can of course also contribute to Gitea or Gogs, or fork Forgejo, etc. This is free software after all.

With 23 open and 1.381 closed PR forgejo seems like an active project, it's in use at codeberg.org which means it isn't a random fork.

Mom shopped at Aldi but didn’t mention it to Dad

I took notes by pen in my theoretical physics lectures and typed them up later in latex.

I think u never made it past the first 300 pages and now I wonder whether I should try again. I also wonder what happened to my copy of the book…

Glass door? How much energy does it need?

To me Go seems like almost a copycat of Oberon with channels added. But I neither used Oberon nor Go so that’s more of a spec-reading impression. What would you say having used both?

Isn’t that common knowledge? Or let me rephrase this: this can be observed by laypeople in their communities.

I am glad that it’s also scientifically studied if the body of evidence hasn’t been large enough so far

I would assume they compensate with other senses and so if they get blind at high age they are at equal risk.

I imagine: "As a MS Edge user, I would like to have Chromium tabs readily available when I open MS Edge, so that I can continue working in MS Edge seamlessly ...."

That investment was done to a degree that upkeep is to expensive nowadays.

It’s pretty dangerous according to German law to disclose security issues.

Everyone should be aware that someone hijacked the Anki name, so there is the genuine anki project and some copycat SaaS anki service with mobile apps in the app stores using the same name

HJson https://hjson.github.io seems a nice 'in-between' between YAML and JSON without the indentation-based syntax, so closer to the JSON side but with comments and less quotes.

What I don't really get is why the cloud providers / tooling implementors have never drafted up a "YAML-light" that just throws out the rarely-used headache-inducing syntax elements.

I actually never used the live bootable cd of the grml project, just the zsh config

> The Historian Richard Rutt conservatively suggests that knitting originated in Egypt between 500 and 1200 A.D.

Haven’t watched the video but the evidence for knitting in England under Roman rule certainly isn’t there. There were other methods to make knitting-like garments though so maybe this is explained in the video but I doubt that Romans knitted with this

Grml zsh is all I need https://grml.org/zsh/

less clutter for string-only keys.
