I don't think you've established any factual challenge to either of my statements: > But the only real connection between 'Germanic tribes' and the modern state of Germany is that people from the latter believe the…
I read the whole thing. It's literally a showcase of all the mental tics and obfuscations involved in the construction of artificial national histories as I described in my earlier comment. Accusations of bias, the…
Germanic tribes in the ancient world did not speak Old High German. The status of Old High German as the origin language of modern German is part of the construction of German history in exactly the manner I have…
Modern German is no closer to the language of a randomly chosen 'Germanic Tribe' than English, Prussian, Danish, Yiddish, Swedish, Czech, etc. Most people living in what is now France would have spoken other languages…
Thanks for proving my point!
But the only real connection between 'Germanic tribes' and the modern state of Germany is that people from the latter believe the former to be their forefathers. They are not genetically closer to them than other…
> states ruled from Prague, inhabited largely by Czech speakers, extending to virtually the same territory. More like two polities which share a capital city, but barely have either a language or a geography in common.…
This isn't true. The majority of countries are much younger than this. The thousand year old ones are the exceptions. Many countries have an 'origin story' which implies that they are the same thing as random countries…
Insert Boeing/MongoDB joke here.

SQLite is not 'a little iffy'. It's a) one of the most resilient pieces of software ever made and b) one of the most widely adopted pieces of software ever made.
You're right, my mistake.
The minimum for federal sentences is that you have to serve 2/3.
> this release will break any code that uses threads. > small threaded programs had been run successfully The second obviously contradicts the first, doesn't it? > mixing asyncio with threads will not work with this…
This isn't correct. TFA said that small threaded programs had been run successfully, but that the test suite broke in asyncio. Async I/O and threads are two different things, and either can be present in real code…
You might think that making sure your children will be cared for after you are dead is an impossible desire. You might think that leaving a will specifying your intentions for unpublished work is an action with an…
So the requirement is simply to come up with 'a plausible reason why it might be what [they] would want'?
We only have Otto Frank's word for it that this is what she would have wanted. And he is known not to have had respect for her legacy in every way, for example editing the diary to remove criticism of himself. Also,…
Good luck with that.
It is a good book, but it isn't completely candid about one part of the FT's investigation. When Dan McCrum was under threat of arrest in Germany, that was because Paul Murphy, Dan's editor, did in fact give away to…
This makes sense, since if all the orbit numbers were even the ratio could be expressed in simpler terms.
The last ratio should be 2/3 again.
mipsytipsy also worked with scuba, and she specifically designed honeycomb, an observability tool based on wide events, around the motivating idea that a very imperfect tool like scuba could do lots of things better…
There are millions of young people who dream of working in video games and very few who dream of writing software for a bank or a Telco. It seems to make sense that there should be a pay disparity.
This is right, but it doesn't support what the GGP said. Apple have not historically created new product categories. They have turned fledgling product categories with weird and untried technology into popular and…
