but why would I believe that?

No inherent reason to believe that, but seems like lying about this should be illegal. The belief is in Meta’s compliance with the law rather than in its ethics, which, according to these claims, is unfortunately an unfounded belief.

Try that argument with your local topologist

relatively easy

Very incomplete list of things about English which are not easy:

• The sheer amount of vowel phonemes
  • French and German do “a lot of vowels” properly
  • Sometimes they’re diphthongs
  • Complete with arcane allophony
• Stress timing ⇒ vowel reduction, weak forms
• Adjective order???
  • Not actually difficult, it’s just weird that it even exists.
• Sequence of tenses
  • Actually might be worse than Latin
• The verbal system is messy, identical forms can specify different tenses/aspects/moods and can be treated differently by the syntax accordingly
  • There are somewhere between 2 and 12 tenses, and I’m genuinely not sure which is it.
  • English verbs are very expressive, but the forms are mandatory. Other languages also have a lot of markers, but they’re often optional.
• Morphology is pretty easy for anyone who speaks a language other than the famously analytic Chinese, I guess.
• Not technically a part of the spoken language, but spelling (at least three spelling systems not even trying to masquerade as one + GVS, also grammatical gender but only sometimes, e.g. blond/blonde).

Some things are not difficult, but I find them endearing:

• English is really afraid of hiatus and will do anything to avoid it
• The GVS messed things up so hard that most English speakers (outside of Scotland and parts of England and Ireland) can’t even borrow monophthongs properly.
• Do-support: to negate a verb, you need another verb, but the new verb has exactly zero meaning (but some verbs don’t require do-support).

Not contesting the practicality though, and I agree that “dumb” is meaningless when it comes to language.

Does it work with SELinux though?

I’ve tried both Nix and Lix and ended up having to disable SELinux for both

264 and 330 (exactly) if you want to justly tune it

“People called Romanes, they go the house?!”

It’s kind of linear, in the largest element of the array. Just not in the length of the array.

The Either monad (also known as Result) provides Go-like error handling, but automated. You only check manually for errors after the last call, the monad handles the process.

But this is just one example of a monad, there are many more.

Similarly, 1/3 = 0.3333…
So 3 times 1/3 = 0.9999… but also 3/3 = 1

Another nice one:

Let x = 0.9999… (multiply both sides by 10)
10x = 9.99999… (substitute 0.9999… = x)
10x = 9 + x (subtract x from both sides)
9x = 9 (divide both sides by 9)
x = 1

Netanyahu only wants one thing, and it’s to stay in power for as long as possible. If a regional war gives that to him (via Ben-Gvir), he won’t mind.

Edit: He currently holds a parliamentary majority. If he agrees to a ceasefire, the more extreme members of his coalition will no-confidence him together with the opposition. And, as it stands right now, he has no chance of participating in the next government.
