No, no. Single politics course, they do exists, but never single Maoism course, single Dengism course, etc. Even in colleges and universities they're combined into one single course. This time it's different, China is having single Xi-ism course.
They never added those things as a standalone subject to primary school & middle school curriculum since 1978. Not even Maoism.
When you represent the Haiku community badly, that's everyone in the Haiku community's problem.
it's truly, truly a sad mental state to consider anyone has to be representing some certain community. really hope someday you can pull yourself out of that.
Although my opinion of you as a person is lowering for other reasons.
lower it as much as you want my friend, seriously wouldn't mind if some random stupid asshole insists considering me a stupid asshole.
If you're an enthusiast of said product, you're doing no one any favors by being hostile.
Ah i see you must be too blind to see others have tried not being hostile, failed and get called out as having "social disability".
Which does nothing for someone who couldn't get it to run on any of the hardware they tried it on.
Sure:
1. People have to help you here no matter what even if you're being very rude. 2. Certainly "it does not work on my machines" to "it does not work on anything" is a very reasonable stretch!
I'm just saying, it's sadly very common, does nothing to help anybody, and leaves people with a negative opinion of their community.
if someone could just not leave other people with a negative opinion of him/her/themselves lol
> keep on venting about social disability bullshit
I don't even know what this means, but have a suspicion that if I did I would have a low opinion of you as a person for saying it.
seriously? lmfao, that phrase goes for you too, shut up and get your shit together.
as for the "does not help anybody" bit, yeah clearly venting like you do helps a heck lot to everybody.
A lot of people have been frustrated about the thing does not work for them (yes including me myself) but why does OP get the hate he/she/they get? If you can't figure that out yourself, you should probably do something else instead of keep posting here.
So op venting about shit is "maybe exaggerating a bit" and "important frustration" but other people venting is just "defensiveness"? Yeah sure people have to be nice to any one lmao. Ars Technica literally made a long article about how Haiku worked on a cheap-ass laptop, still no, keep on venting about social disability bullshit, and you're here complaining about other people being angry about op being this rude. Truly the moral standard everyone should follow huh.
That's effectively not true[1].
Somewhat reasonable title but poorly written content.
For instance, what is called an "Array" in pretty much every mainstream language, is instead called a "List" in Python.
Because it is a list rather than an array (as in C).
Another issue with Python is that it is essentially two different languages, there's Python 2.7 and Python 3+.
It's 2020, you are not supposed to teach Python 2 to newbies.
I was expecting more in-depth discussion, and the whole article is just way too superficial.
Hard to discriminate between captial letter "O" and number "0". Not that good for actual coding IMO.
P.S.: This world really does NOT need any more look-good-only-under-Chrome websites.
One would have expected one in Chinese or Japanese by now.
We do have one in Mainland China, popular in the last decade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Programming_Language
It's somewhat of a disaster, though: its author probably caught up with the idea of "Language = IDE" & "selling the language for profit" so it's really not that suitable for "real" serious uses.
should be N >= 2 because you can't really have 1-input NOR gate...?
One rule of thumb that's worth following is to never waste your time reading blogpost like this. If you ever saw a blogpost structured like this, just close the tab.
Probably not relevant, OS written in Haskell does exists, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_(operating_system)
And don't forget HalVM.
You never confirmed if you were raised bilingually. It matters a lot in regards to what I am talking about.
Sorry to break your imagination but I'm not :)
What I'm trying to say is:
1. What is working is not Esperanto per se.
2. Even if you know English and Esperanto, Chinese will (even if it became somewhat easier for you as you might have claimed) still be a heck to learn (e.g. good ol' "counting words"), because they're so different that the even if the "solid foundation" helps it won't help much. That's why I'm bringing up Basque - I myself have trouble learning Basque even if this is the 4th language I have tried to learn.
As for the rational part, I don't know if you know programming but I'm gonna take programming as an example: imagine someone has only learnt C. Now, could claiming "learning Go will help you form a solid foundation about Haskell!" ever be considered rational? I really don't think it should.
It's not Esperanto itself that works, it's the basic linguistics throughout the learning process, i.e. it's the idea of "how languages work (in their own way)" that has the effect. Facts about Esperanto per se do not help. Take a linguistic course and you'll get pretty much the same effect.
Or should I say, imagine Standard Basque: as an independent language, people might have a better time learning Basque because at least they uses latin alphabets.
Oh, and did i mention how closely related Esperanto and English are that your "Chinese -> Esperanto -> English" claim does not suffice at all? :)
Oh, and don't forget you yourself are actually becoming one of the reasons why people "shit on conlang" - close-to-irrational fanboys :)
Your time spent learning Esperanto may have actually created a solid foundation to learning Mandarin, if that's what you desire to learn!
As a native Mandarin speaker who also knows Esperanto I can tell you this is almost 100% (if not exactly 100%) not the case. If learning Esperanto gives you motivation to learn more, maybe; but the two languages are way too different that it wouldn't help much.
It somehow reminds me of BitBitJump[1].
The "next generation" is always destroyed for there's something out there just for destroying them. In the modern era it's the Twitter/Instagram/TikTok/you-name-it. Before these it's video games. Before video games it's the TV. before the TV it's rock music. Before rock music it's the pesty comic books. It's not that the concern from the so-called "older generation" is totally irrational, it's the case that we have to come up with new strategies to deal with the bad influence the "new things" have, if they ever have any; it's our very own responsibility.
It's not "booming", not in the sense of "it just got big all of a sudden"; it is big, and it has been there (and big) for a very, very long time.
For people who against this, please take a look at the Death of Zexi Wei[1].
And just for context, Baidu is, currently, the only big player, and in most of the time considered to be the only player in the search engine market of Mainland China.
Probably not relevant, we have wikiwand.com, so the UI somehow does evolve after all.
As another lisp dialect Hy might not be interesting enough.
I was hoping for APL/J-style stuff or something like using `map` and `forEach` but no. That's a big letdown.
Outrage is profitable.
Reminds me of what have been happening in the past few months on "Weibo" (think of it like the Twitter of Mainland China). Didn't know the details but surely some people have been trying to profit from deliberately inspiring outrages from feminism issues.
From the wikipedia page:
Solar terms originated in China, then spread to Korea, Vietnam, and Japan, countries in the East Asian cultural sphere.
In Mainland China you have to be really lucky to get such a choice.
I can't understand why people believe that when Google compromise with the Chinese government on censorship things will become worse in the long run. As if it's okay to put Chinese in a position where only not-that-good search engines like bing are available - some people probably will consider that OK because they do not live in mainland China so they simply wouldn't have to care. To be fair, that's just hypocrisy.
As for the censorship bit - you guys really believe that when the US one day do the same thing as the current mainland government do Google will not compromise, aren't you?
Okular is awesome for reading .djvu file as well. Love it.
When you get to the repository, the first page you see should not necessarily be Code.
No. It'd better should be.
