When I was starting to learn German, I found it quite intimidating, but once I started having a grasp of the language, I found it actually pretty easy. The trick is just being able to recognize the subwords. Take a word like Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung: once you know Arbeit and Schein, it already starts being easier to see the meaning.
Interessant: Ich habe immer an diese Situation gedschty als jemand der die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft beantragen will. Aber ich glaube du hast Recht und es wird ermöglichen, dass Deutsche im Ausland auch einen ausländischen Pass beantragen dürfen, ohne die deutsche Staatsbürgeeschaft zu verlieren.
Ja, das ist natürlich eine echte Sorge von mir. Ich habe irgendetwas gelesen, dass irgendjemand wollte, dass es in der Zukunft möglich sein soll, die Staatsbürgerschaft von Eingebürgererten wieder wegzunehmen. Aber ich glaube das wurde abgelehnt.
I wish this was exaggerated, but it isn't at all. Every time I try to learn Haskell, I end up in some tutorial: "You know how you sometimes need to represent eigenvectors in an n-dimensional plane with isotonically theoretical pulsarfunctions? Haskell types make that easy!"
I started off this year with Go, and after the first three days, I was so happy to switch to Rust for today. It's one of my absolute favorite programming languages, but I never use it at work, so it's one of my joys of Advent of Code.
Thank you for sharing this. I also wrote a regular expression with \d|eno|owt and so on, and I was not so proud of myself :). Good to know I wasn't the only one :).
As a follow up, I've been playing with Elpaca, and they do indeed have a changelog. You can run elpaca-fetch-all and see all of the new commits for each package.
I'm still playing BG3: I've just recently started Act 3, and I am still loving the game, though I'm finding it harder to stay focused at this point. I'm also starting to think about how to play a more evil character in my next playthrough without being a total asshole, but we'll see how that comes along.
I never really thought of it as science fiction (see her MaddAdam series for something more SF-y), but I love the book and think it does a great job of extrapolating from various political trends into where parts of the "western world" could end up going.
I'm also not surprised it's a candidate for being banned, either from people who think it paints religion or conservativsm in a negative light, or people who think it might make anyone under 18 uncomfortable. Is it appropriate for 5 year olds? Probably not. 16 year olds? Seems reasonable to me.
I think "bad" would be the wrong word. I usually describe it as "weird". And it feels a bit smushed together somehow: lots of different things that don't really fit that well together, in my opinion.
It may well be worth reading, but as the first entry on a list of best science fiction and fantasy, it feels out of place to me.
I've read schockingly few of the ones on the list, and from what I know, I feel torn. Some I'm happy to see: NK Jemisin is a great author, and although I haven't read Exhaltation by Ted Chiang, everything I've read of his has been incredible.
On the other hand, seeing Perdidio Street Station as the first entry really threw me for a loop. The book is totally fine, but it is extremely weird, and I definitely don't see it as a must-read.
Hah, I do know what twerking is, but I never associated it with this phrase. A follow-up: are you actually touching the ground? What body part is touching the ground?
In our first game of Clank Legacy, we thought that as long as you died above the Line of No Return, or whatever it's called, you got points, regardless of whether you had an artifact or not. This had...implications for some of the story choices that we made.
I watched a few slightly older shows recently: Killjoys, which I really couldn't get into, and now Dark Matter. I'm finding it a bit cliched, but I like it so far.
