prosody

This makes me wonder about the opposite--taking cues from humans' instinctual child-rearing behavior in product design. Not being a parent though that thought started and ended with using infant crying sounds for emergency notifications, which would probably just disturb most people. Does anyone with experience have ideas?

A society in which civil rights protesters unlawfully marched over the Edmund Pettus Bridge, interrupting traffic, and withstood the violent attempts at suppression by Alabama state troopers, forcing the nation to confront its fundamental injustice and pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965, is _in every single way_ a more just society in which the 'right' of travelers to pass over that bridge on March 7, 1965 is kept sacrosanct.

I'm switching to 10 LTSC (nb they renamed LTSB) 1809 this weekend to get ahead of the curve. Supported until January 2029. 11 came out six years after 10, so decent odds this can tide me over until 12. Unfortunately they reduced their support commitment for the upcoming 10 LTSC 21H2 to five years from release, so the older version is the best you can do.

Also FWIW, Microsoft does kind of give you a choice to obtain 10 LTSC legitimately, it's just a pain in the ass since it's very deliberately not intended for consumers. Described here: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2167558-explicit-inst...

I actually did it (using CDW, total cost US$319.15), in part because I'm a goody-goody I guess and in part because even if you can trust the ISO you got is good by verifying its checksum, god knows what the tool you use to bypass the copyright enforcement mechanism does.

If anyone reading this comment is interested in buying it, you should probably also know that the Open License volume purchasing program that the linked units are being sold under is getting discontinued in January 2022, so might want to decide whether to bite the bullet soon.

It's been a long time since I've done anything with Sanskrit so please forgive any misunderstandings, but didn't Vedic ळ become Classical ड, as in नीळ and नीड ?

What are the security considerations of living in Emacs? Web browsers have battle tested sandboxes, and using individual native applications for everything leverages your platform's process model.

This document caused me a fair bit of consternation transcribing it on a site that prefers DjVu files to PDF:

DjVU: https://ia800204.us.archive.org/28/items/cu31924026442156/cu...

PDF: https://ia800204.us.archive.org/28/items/cu31924026442156/cu...

I don't have an easy way to find all of the errors I observed but typical ones are on page 58 at the end of the third line, 'Germanic' with a little bit of bleed between the serifs at the bottom of 'n' gets transformed into 'Germauic', and on page 420 at the end of line 7, 'compass' with a small dot in the middle of the 'o' becomes 'cempass'.

FWIW I've transcribed a bunch of other DjVu files produced by the Internet Archive and not noticed anything like this.

What advantage does this offer over Project Gutenberg's own Distributed Proofreaders[1]?

It appears to be the case that the attribution at the bottom of the page is accurate.

Inaccurate title. This isn't about Sanskrit, it's about certain schools of pre-modern Indian linguistics (which are very interesting and worthy subjects). Sanskrit is a beautiful language with an incredible literary canon, but there's nothing special about it that makes it stand apart from any other human language. Any other old Indo-European language possesses the same properties. Regrettably, Hindutva activists and their Western sycophants talk it up.

I think the general objection is that the instruction set of the CPU isn't salient, rather it's the form factor. The Surface is presented more like a laptop than a tablet, and there are some 3rd party manufacturer Windows 8 ARM laptops in the pipeline.

I don't know if you were influenced by it, but anonymous text boards are somewhat common on the Japanese internet, and there are a small number of English (and Spanish and German) language derivatives. Unfortunately, even though there are several pieces of text board software, they're all very similar. Seeing something like this which is highly divergent is quite a treat.

Are threads ordered by most recent post or something more complicated?

Maybe that is why they didn't say they were going to do this—the sort of person who goes all in even with nothing to gain is what they're looking for.

(Lest I seem overly harsh, I'm in the same boat.)

There's already a system somewhat like that in place and it was actually referenced in the article. Wikisource (http://wikisource.org) is run by the same nonprofit as Wikipedia, and has a pretty robust system for pairing up side by side transcribed texts and scans. Someone's already started the germ of a Phil. Trans. library (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Philosophical_Transactions). At present the first volume is done and about forty volumes (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Index:Philosophical_Transactio...) are uploaded and ready for users to transcribe.
