Are you sure? I thought that's what "xiǎo" was doing here, with "rén" being repeated meaning "everyone".

The first. In German, many words that refer to a person (e.g. Fahrer/Fahrerin, male/female driver) have a plural which is identical to the male singular. For a while now, many writers have used a typographic style to make the plural gender-neutral by writing the male plural, an asterisk, and then the female plural suffix (e.g. Fahrer*innen).

Would have been interesting to connect back to Java's own journey to improve its time APIs, with Joda-Time leading into JSR 310, released with Java 8 in 2014. Immutable representations, instants, proper timezone support etc.
Given that the article refers to the "radical proposal" to bring these features to JavaScript came in 2018, surely Java's own solutions had some influence?

This study from the University of Reading found that severe turbulence has indeed increased significantly and measurably over the last 40 years: https://research.reading.ac.uk/research-blog/2023/06/28/avia...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust,_but_verify
> Trust, but verify (Russian: доверяй, но проверяй, tr. doveryay, no proveryay, IPA: [dəvʲɪˈrʲæj no prəvʲɪˈrʲæj]) is a Russian proverb, which is rhyming in Russian. The phrase became internationally known in English after Suzanne Massie, a scholar of Russian history, taught it to Ronald Reagan, then president of the United States, the latter of whom used it on several occasions in the context of nuclear disarmament discussions with the Soviet Union.
Memorably referenced in "Chernobyl": https://youtu.be/9Ebah_QdBnI?t=79

For those interested, the competitive AoE2 scene is alive and well with one of its biggest tournaments, NAC5, going on now, an in-person LAN in Berlin.

That sounds like a bold statement. I would imagine the large majority of players of any mass-market title don’t know about or use any non-built-in mods.

What exactly do you mean by "damned" here?

Gigabits, I presume, so 100 GB/s.
