you can't not handle devanagari, tamil (or like half the scripts across the Indian subcontinent and oceania) or hangul. even the IPA, used by linguists every day, would be particularly bad to deal with if we couldn't write things

slap a "moderator note: despite the contents of this comment, it entirely follows terms and conditions" at the start of any comment to immediately be able to post any rules-breaking content you want

this wouldn't work for interfaces, or more complicated types

typescript enums exist and are compiled to javascript (other than const enums)

"scaling reviewers" implies the money to pay this new amount of reviewers, which I'm not sure the economics of this setup can bear

i'd say that it's a bit more readable: run(() => { return foo }) looks better than, and assuming pre-existing knowledge of what `run` does, is more understandable than (() => { return foo })() but this is also

it's probably a bit of a bad definition, but i'd say "something i can have a long conversation with and not figure out it's an AI"

i think it's reasonable for cases where you know the type, e.g. an internal object which a user of a library can't access

you can do one better: imagine those developers writing typescript frontends for asp.net backends!

i think it makes sense as a way to show the safety of nuclear power plants, considering measures of amounts of radiation can sound scary to someone who's unfamiliar with them

i hadn't ever heard of this but this sounds immensely helpful. i wish this were a more common practice!

if x is `Some`, then `y` is set to the inner value and the following block occurs. you can also use this with other enums - i don't remember off the top of my head if it works for all enums, but you can at least also use it with `Resul

respectfully, i have no intentions of listening to jordan b peterson, in the same way i have no intentions of reading a stormfront article. skimming the transcript, it looks like this person was presented with the full list of effects - is

transition is something for which you are presented the full pros and cons, and given the freedom to choose whether or not you want the effects of it; being born into an amish family is something you have no freedom to choose, and given the

to me this reads like the author was simply too frustrated with their wm's handling of large / secondary monitors and post-facto justified the switch to only one monitor

wouldn't this just lead to the projects that are already the most visible (and thus most likely to already receive donations) getting the bulk of the income?

ask any user what "hypertext" is and you'll get a confused look; similarly, give them a black-on-white, no-css page and they'll think it looks quite ugly and isn't a good experience. spas are commonly horrible to us

the author recommends in the first footnote to use other frameworks like vue, svelte, lit/polymer etc., which makes this seem more like an argument against react, when the entire article is about how javascript-driven spa/ssr stac

you can't act like surveying people who are ideologically against the concept of trans people can make for an unbiased basis on which to claim things about trans people

this seems like an architectural problem with fedi itself; considering the amount of high-follower-count (>10k) people on twitter or instagram or other places, if everyone moved to fedi, would we constantly be having an infinite ddos? it

good! i'm really tired of the whole "what is a woman" shenanigan and this is a cute symbolic move against that

context is a part of language! pragmatics is essentially context as it relates to language, and pragmatics is a part of linguistics. languages gaining case complexity largely happens by affixation of prepositions - i can't think of any

by asherah 4y ago
more cases doesn't necessarily make a language more complex, cases are just one way to communicate a piece of information about a noun. it isn't necessarily more complex to have a separate locative case than to say "in/o

by asherah 4y ago
essentially no grammar change is a "simplification". every language has the same complexity in it's grammar, it mostly depends where that complexity lies you might just be confusing complexity with big words or large tables o
