The chromaticity diagram is basically a straight line between 640nm (red) and 545nm (green), so anything in between (including pure yellow around 570nm) can be reproduced with a linear combination of red and green. RGBY televisions do exist

I don't think R&T will ever ship at this point, since the browser vendors are apparently unwilling to absorb the complexity that would be required to add new primitive types with value semantics.

They'd need some very big RTGs to last that long, and I don't think we manufacture plutonium at the necessary volumes for that anymore.

of course this created an interoperability nightmare with third party libraries, which irrevocably forked Google's whole JS ecosystem from the community's 20 years ago and turned their codebases into a miserable backwater.

It's from Japanese, a wasei kango (和製漢語) formation using on -readings of Chinese characters: 絵 ( e , "picture") + 文字 ( moji , "script"). The 字 (read ji ) is the same as in 漢字 ( kanji , "Han characters"

Unfortunately, Ruhlen, Greenberg, and Starostin's work relies on mass comparison and is neither rigorous nor noteworthy. Prefixing languages are rare and most have been suggested to be related to one another at some point on that basis

I have one. The build quality is great. The tactility is second to none. And, it's so insanely loud that it's only really usable alone in one's own home.
