I also live in Japan and I have yet to find a foreigner that likes the Japanese time zone. What is the purpose of having the sunrise a 4:00 in Summer if all the shops and businesses are closed until 9:00?

He moved to Ireland in 1939. I am sure you are aware of certain events going on in Europe at that time that might have pushed him to leave Austria, as so many other famous scientists did...

> Distances measured in yards for non-US destinations is an insult

FTFY. I live in Japan and it also shows me the distance in yards and miles.

> It's one of the biggest runtimes on the internet; the C code will be some of the safest out there.

Are you serious? This is PHP we are talking about, it has a notorious history of security holes and overall design mistakes.

Are you really telling me that the Hot Dog Cannon from Tyrian actually exists? o_O

Many human languages lack voiced plosives entirely, the most notorious one being one of the biggest languages in the world, Mandarin Chinese.

I don't think there is such a universal sense of continuity considering that tonal languages sound very discontinuous...

Some Andalusian accents can be really thick, but so can be the accents from other regions. It also depends where from Spain you are from: I am from Extremadura and usually don't have any trouble understanding even the strongest Andalusian accent, but some of my Basque and Catalonian colleagues find it really difficult, but the opposite is also true.

No it didn't. Quake was notorious for being the first major game to require a Pentium-level FPU, anything less and it would run like molasses.

Upvoted for using the word "vendepatrias".

For those who don't speak Spanish, it means someone who would sell their homeland, the worst kind of traitor.

If the house is well insulated, keeping it at a constant temperature might be more efficient than running irregular cooling/warming cycles.

Plenty of houses are not well insulated though...

No, he is proposing that lack of excellence → lack of popularity.

> Japan does not have this problem at all, even though they invented the anime aesthetic. Where is the Chinese Mario, Elden Ring, or Metal Gear? What studio is producing a truly original distinct visual language?

I live in Japan and I strongly disagree. The products you mention are the ones strong enough to get exported overseas, but within Japan itself you get a thousand manga/anime/dorama/idols/games per year that all look pretty much identical, everything feels extremely derivative.

Which government?

Many languages still call them "condensers"; from the top of my head, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, and likely many others.

I agree with you. First, "broken" is not a binary, it might not be broken but it might not work well either. Second, sooner or later everything breaks, and you better be ready for when that happens.
