I imagine a current generation high school English class would be giggling right from the first line about gooning while on pilgrimages.

Also why the non-rhotic American accents are all by the East Coast, they were influenced by the non-rhotic British visitors while the inland areas were spared.

Stanford's Youtube channel is also a goldmine. There's actually a lot of professors that put their lectures on Youtube, you just have to look (or watch enough that the algorithm finds them for you).

For regular readers of this blog, that would be like defining USB for a general tech audience. Other articles by this author expect the reader to also know terms like I2C and SPI.

The governor of Utah used similar language:

“For 33 hours, I was praying that if this had to happen here that it wouldn't be one of us — that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country… Sadly, that prayer was not answered the way I hoped for… But it did happen here, and it was one of us.”

A long time ago, before SEO spam, I would Google parts of what I had written phrase by phrase (with proper nouns removed or generalized) and if the number of results was under a certain threshold, I'd assume I was wrong.

I believe they are basing that on the spread of genes from the Natufian culture that built the earliest settlements corresponding to the spread of Afroasiatic languages. Similar to how Turkish people have low levels of Turkic ancestry.

Are there any affordable robot kits you recommend for learning control, CV, RL etc.? I was budgeting for the SO-101 so I think I'll get OP's device and then something that's not an arm for variety.

Claude Shannon's master's thesis in 1937 is the one that proved the usefulness of Boolean algebra and binary for digital circuits.

Portuguese did not retain the Latin nasal vowels, it was an independent development after the Latin nasal vowels had been lost.

The Turkic and Mongolian languages all came from the area around south Siberia and Mongolia. So ironically it is those Turkic people in Siberia who are the ones that stayed closest to home!

The Huns might have been a Turkic group, but that's hard to prove or disprove since we don't have any records of their language beyond names and a few words that were probably borrowed anyway.

I have DSPS and 10 mg melatonin works very well for me too.

Same with me and my Geocities page from 1997 :(

Hmm, I never even give a second glance to people taking the Segway tours in my city (Chicago). But whenever I see one in my neighborhood, 7 miles from downtown, hoo boy is it hard to not stare.

I think it makes a lot of sense for Uber Pool, at least, because shitty riders make the experience worse for other riders. The last time I took a Pool, we picked up someone who booked the ride for one person but had a friend with her. She tried to argue and say she would give the driver a tip at the end, etc., while the driver tried to explain that it doesn't work that way. Wasted about 5 to 10 minutes of my day because of that.

It's really ironic that Westerners are disgusted by fish heads but Asians will fight over them at communal meals. I spent time in Japan and China and I'm a convert too. The heads are full of delicious fat. Whole fish in spicy Sichuan sauce is my absolute favorite splurge item at Chinese restaurants.

They also need to play fewer games. The Cubs' star Anthony Rizzo said he would gladly take a pay cut. Teams play 162 games a year. That's just insane considering how demanding the sport is and how frequently players get injured.

I'm just an armchair historical linguist but the 19th century books and dictionaries written by British missionaries dispatched to China, that are freely available in abundance on Google Books, are just as fascinating as the cutting-edge monographs of the past decade. They lacked proper training but their observations are fascinating. For example, the pronunciation guide in a dictionary of Shanghainese notes that older people would say Beiging (I'm going to avoid linguistics jargon and true Shanghainese pronunciation for the sake of understandability) and younger people would say Beijing. So we know exactly when this sound change (palatalization) spread to the Shanghai area. The author didn't call it as such and seemed to have the attitude of "kids these days don't talk properly" which makes it really amusing to read.

Horrible tragedy. When news first broke a week ago with the only details being the time and place (for non-Chicagoans, the location is filled with bars and very drunk bros) of the murder, people assumed it was a bar fight that escalated. Turns out he was murdered by a homeless man during a presumed robbery.

Back in 97 I had a PS1 (then known as PSX) news site on Geocities that had a weekly newsletter with game reviews contributed by other internet randos. I actually got some free games to review from companies. I was too young to think of making a backup when it fizzled out, and I couldn't find it on that Geocities archive site. That made me deeply sad.

My recollection matches with yours, except I learned about it in the first week of Embedded Systems 101. If it isn't a standard part of the curriculum at every college embedded systems class, it should be! It really drove home the point that bad code can kill.

The classic combo of Matrox for 2D and 3Dfx for 3D. Surprisingly Matrox still exists.

My thoughts exactly. When I read the headline I thought, how did London suddenly get to 500 AQI? Then I read the actual article and it's "just" 200.

The floating Tesla was pretty cool too...

That's why I moved to Chicago, and staying at Airbnbs while looking for an apartment was fantastic. It was hostel style so while most people were tourists, I also met friends who were in the same position as me.

Care to elucidate on the choice of ravens? I would go with cassowaries and emus as examples of "oh yeah they totally are dinosaurs"...

Huh, on the contrast, I find myself wishing beer flavors were as varied as weed flavors. I frequently find myself trying a new strain and having to smack my lips after each hit because I want to savor the flavor as much as possible.

Exactly. I CTRL-F'ed for Chicago in this comment thread to comment on this. I live in Chicago and I was very happy about this news.

What the actual fuck? Is this by design or do a billion people all manage to game the system?

UV actually had a Rust based OS class four years ago! The language was at something like 0.7 so I'm really excited to have this course with up-to-date Rust.
