I don't know if you can do it in Norwegian, but in colloquial Polish it's possible to specify how much time will pass until the next full hour without specifying what hour it is. So, it's possible to say, for instance:…

If/when that becomes feasible, I assume moving the fetus to the artificial womb would become a more humanitarian (if more expensive) equivalent to getting an abortion.
Wow, finally a good orthography for English!
How many uses can you find for Fortran 77 besides legacy systems?
Not using a feature X yourself means you might still need to deal with code written by somebody who uses the feature.
> Because Python 3.X is not backwards compatible and we have millions of lines of production code in Python 2.X. I believe the common subset of Python 2 and 3 was created to ease that transition.
> Python 2 is like FORTRAN. It might not be sexy anymore but it's not going anywhere. Except Fortran is, and is going to be, further developed. (So, if a new useful programming concept appears, or a major design mistake…
I think 1000 is a more realistic estimate of how much words you need in a language, than 100. Toki pona is nice in concept, but too restrictive in practice.
> I've seen very prominent NN-course, suggesting Python 2.7 for all assignments and code samples, and quite useful library (also NN-related), supporting 2.7 only. Oh, that's plain silly. Isn't the whole point of Python…
It was already fixed back when domain names had to be plain ASCII. It was West-centric, yes, but it allowed for a unique and legible ASCII identifiers. And encouraged non-ASCII languages to create a unique (or,…

Depends on the human.
Is it similar to getting heavily drunk and then keeping asking the same question because you can't remember having asked it?

How did they destroy Snapchat? By adding a couple of frames and overlays? My mobile phone had that “feature” ten years ago already.

I guess if learning 90% of something takes 90 minutes, the remaining 10% will take 10 years.
Yet another attack vector yay!
Nice. I'd change it, though, so it would disallow both Windows and OSX.
