I did the same, measuring my progress by taking the exams from A1 to B2 every three months, and most of the text I can agree with. But I must say this must be one of the easiest language pairs in the world (speaker of English learning Frenc

If you took any Indo-European language and created a new language completely contradicting it with respect to any aspect of the language, you'd get something pretty close to Turkish :-) I am really surprised you think Turkish is simila

I fully understand your point re reddit, but I think a single person's blog is different than that. A blog is like a book and reddit is like a bookstore if you will, if you go to a bookstore selling a book that racists read that is not

I have never read the blog, or have any positive or negative association with it, but after all the attention this story has garnered, I just read both the NYT article and Mr. Siskind's response. The main takeaway from the NYT article

I don't know if this is what you are actually asking but it reads like that. There are no two Russells, it's the same person, just different kind of works in different periods of his life.

I dislike negatively reviewing an article, but the assertion is misleading. All C++ is doing in this case is type deduction, and that is basically unification. Sure, this is a very narrow subset of logic programming. But that would be like

Although al-Zarqawi was the original founder of what became ISIS, the person that made it what it is today is al-Baghdadi, who did spend time in a US prison and I presume OP is talking about him.

This is a crazy form of propaganda instilled by both sides of the political spectrum in the US. Germany's population is 82M+, and much more diverse than you think. You think you have nothing in common with someone in Alabama? At least

Aside from the spelling issue (which is an issue in many languages), English is one of the simplest languages by far (among languages spoken by 100k+ people).

For those who use Telegram, there is a Telegram bot, where you send it the DOI or the URL and it sends you the PDF -- so much easier than legally accessing the file.

I am not an evangelist of any form, but running python code with pypy isn't that bad in terms of performance (especially given the ease of writing the actual code), and you can use type hints if you like since 3.5 : https://

I will consider what you said distinctly from the Swiss vs other models problem (because it is only slightly relevant). I don't know how old you are, but I am assuming you are younger than me, and I would like to offer you some advice
