Trying to learn pronunciation through some sort of visual language annotation is one the most counterproductive ways you could approach it. Pronunciation varies subtly from person to person and even from situation to situation, all this information can only really be conveyed from actually listening to people speak, where as most systems for transcribing pronunciation have to optimize for regularity. The end result is that it only conveys the minimum amount of phonetic information needed to distinguish between morphemes. If you add more information then the categories become more and more subjective and harder to distinguish. For example try to do some IPA transcriptions for a language you do speak, or listen to trained linguists try to pronounce words in non-native language.
Think of it as trying to compress several kilobytes of information down to several bytes of information and then trying to reconstruct the original data all in the CPU when you have dedicated hardware several orders of magnitude more powerful and which uses a non-compatible black box compression scheme.
India has full on communist guerilla groups fighting the modi government with no 2nd amendment. In the past 200 odd years of "gun rights", Americans have never been able to overthrow the same ruling that founded this country despite multiple attempts with both legitimate and illegitimate grievances.
You live in a democracy. If you hate your government organize against it. Siding with foreign agitators only makes you look like a neoliberal pawn and delegitimizes your position.
It's foreign state media that's been caught falsifying footage and known to have intelligence assets from both the UK and US working there. Even British people occasionally complain about partisanship. You can call me as many names and grandstand about their nonexistent "journalistic integrity". Doesn't change the facts.
The BBC is accusing Modi of committing genocide in an incident that started with the other side burning 59 pilgrims to death. India is right to block what is a naked piece of propaganda made a foreign state.
> But for the sake of the argument, let's replace all class="...", id="..", and data-event-name=".." with strings of the same length consisting of "回". That grows the filesize from 118K to 151
You're missing the point entirely, the amount of characters you used is enough for 2 or 3 sentences. This was not an example constructed in good faith.
Your argument uses a website whose code was written by English speakers. There would still be ASCII but verbose element names like "vector-page-toolbar-container" would definitely be shorter both in utf-8 and in utf-16 if they weren't written in English
First it's "The government can't stop me from saying anything I want", then it's "Corporations can't stop me from saying anything I want on their platform", and now you've progressed to "Private individuals running their own instances have to federate with me and listen to what I say or else they're witch hunting leftists". It's my own instance, I will federate with who I want. You have the right to run your instance, I have the right to tell you to fuck off.
Downs Syndrome is caused by a random mutation. It's not inherited so the long term rate of it occuring would be unaffected. Given the massive amount of inbreeding in Iceland they have bigger concerns.
Targeted harassment for the purpose of getting people to kill themselves is illegal. People have gone to jail for less than what KF gloats about. All the free speach absolutists crying about "censorship" just shows how ridiculous their ideology is. Instead of whining about cloudflare they should be looking for lawyers.
The big counter celebrating the number of people they've harassed into committing suicide? People have gone to jail for it. CF should be the least of their concerns right now.
Just tried OpenSCAD a couple days ago. The fact that intersection and difference operations often result in z-fighting is extremely frustrating. I read that that it was standard practice to manually account for this by "cutting more than you need". Such bandaid workarounds shouldn't need to exist. It's disappointing because conceptually OpenSCAD is very promising, but fundamental issues like this combined with the overly verbose syntax are holding it back.
By your logic a World of Warcraft reference is also nationalistic. Western engineers can make the most convoluted cultural references possible with no criticism but something as innocuous as naming a processor after a fictional metal attracts accusationa of nationalism.
I see what looks like an Arduino on one of the pictures. That combined with the plexiglass construction makes it hard to justify the $3000 pricetag for what is essentially some highschooler's hobby project.
> That covers the whole of NASA's response so far to IEEE Spectrum
IEEE Spectrum was the same paper that got duped into publishing a story about a self driving car that didn't exist. It's a tabloid piggybacking off of the IEEE's brand recognition. The fact that a NASA spokesperson bothered to reply at all surprises me.
