That was interesting and I looked it up, because it's also used as a vulgar word in Greek. Apparently the Greek word is a loanword from Romanian (which got it from Latin), but what's more interesting is that although we both use i

Though now it's long buried in internet folklore graveyard, there once was a popular shock image (and an associated website) called "goatse". (If you never heard of it, you better NOT google it). For awhile, people had been s

About half of these designs would confuse me. Some would make me right out refusing to run your software - even from the installation step. I get it that designers like to innovate, but please innovate somewhere else. I want my UI/UX b

Back when [1] it was fashionable to advocate FOSS as ideology [2], we were thinking about tons of FOSS adversaries and how to protect from them - some real, some imaginary. The death of FOSS would come from big closed-source vendors, or fro

I heard there's a country where they can even SWAT you out of existence with a simple phone call, but it sounds so outrageous this must be some evil communist dictatorship third-world place. I really don't remember.

Not just C++. Even C parsing is context-dependent because of typedef. Requires a bit of hackery to parse in a conventional LL/LARL/LR parser.

No, we aren't. It was this exact part of the conversation that touched me negatively too. marsf expresses some very valid criticism that, instead of being publicly addressed, is being handled by "let's discuss it privately&qu

And how would they know if my cheese has holes, given that there is a non-zero probability that a random cut over a piece of cheese goes through no holes at all? They would have to make so many cuts that the cheese becomes grated. And grate

Of all the places I've been, Singapore. They have a population of 6 to 7 million people in an area of 700 square kilometers, resulting in a population density of 8300 people / km^2. Substantially more than that if you account for

They're warning everybody, not just Singaporeans. It's just that Singaporeans are the most likely to go travel abroad, have some fun, and then come back like nothing has happened. But if somebody inbound gets caught in a random dr

Nowadays the Indonesian law requires at least two words for the person's full name, and the full name is regarded as a single entity no matter how many words it contains. Older generations of Javanese, having only a single name, usuall

Most (though not all) Greek surnames are also gendered. The common practice is to inherit your fathers surname, changing the gender if you're born female. For example, a quite common surname is Papadopoulos (masculine) / Papadopou

Even the assumption that people have (something that can be used as) a last name is incorrect. Currently I'm living in Indonesia, where a surprisingly large number of people have just one name (plus, when they have many, they're m
