Right, begining of the Old English period , not language. It's not like the ol' Angles went to bed one night speaking Proto-Germanic and woke up the next morning speaking Old English. "English", "Old English" and "Proto-Germanic" are all labels we arbitrarily tack on a...

Is this not a matter for the Computing thread?

It would be if it were not for the fact that I am bummed I can't have real continuations...

You do know there is no good answer for that.

I implemented what I thought were continuations for zeptoscript... but it turns out they are not. Reason being that my "continuations" freeze the state of the stacks* in time, for it to be restored verbatim any number of times, but proper continuations apparently allow the stack(s) to be m...

Two in one day!

Re Low German: What you have in Germany are regiolects. The South is different, but in the North they are not based on the old dialects, but on the Standard, they only take over some features from the dialects, like intonation / accent, and some regional words. People normally don't feel constraine...

I think you're lumping a lot together here, and also accents like Milwaukee (would you call it a dialect? is the grammar and/or vocab that different from the standard?) are relatively new, as opposed to all your other examples that are of very old varieties. The main differences between Milwaukee d...

I fear that, next time, you may have to ask the barista to repeat your order back to you. Or be less stubborn and just use GenAm when ordering :mrgreen: That's what I did the time before (not with GA proper but with a locally-accented version of GA rather than full-on dialect). This time I had figu...

These conspiracy theories about the student encampments are really getting bonkers. First, a relatively sane friend shared a headline about how 80% of the protesters arrested at ASU you were not university affiliates with the question "Wondering what percentage of the participants of these pro...

I again got a barista (I'm no sure if this was the same barista even though it was at the same coffee shop -- in both cases it was over an intercom) who did not understand my order for an Arnold Palmer. This time, after I repeated my order, my order was made... except I was made a cold brew coffee, ...

I fixed the major bug I had encountered in zeptoscript, which really had nothing to do with call/cc or multitasker and everything to do with the garbage collector running when execution tokens are created, which had a bug where the top of the stack would be duplicated. Now the multitasker works beau...

Thank you for clarifying. I should point out, though, that the term ‘intifada’ is generally associated with violent resistance to Israel. (I feel like I see this kind of ambiguity a lot… pro-Palestinian people using terms which are widely associated with violence, then claiming that no, actually , ...
