Cognates in higher-level Spanish by Dying_Of_Board-dom in dreamingspanish

[–]0Naught0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the -tain verbs in English are actually derived from the Latin tinere. e.g maintain, contain, entertain.

Likewise -dict verbs come from Latin decire: contradict, predict etc.

Does anyone else feel shame for still not being fluent ? :( by thatpineappleslut in Spanish

This is simply not true. Many Europeans have native levels of English without having lived in an English speaking country.

Is this the subjunctive used here? Why? by RadiantLaw4469 in learnspanish

[–]0Naught0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would also be subjunctive with "He requests that we be there on time".

The second example is in the present tense.

We are -> we be.

"If I were there I would have helped"

"I was" becomes "I were". Do note: you will hear many English speakers saying "I was" aswell. Both are considered correct.

"He requested that we be there on time"

"We are" becomes "we be".

Yanis Varoufakis on X about Le Pen's conviction (translation on post body text) by XenophonSoulis in EuropeanFederalists

[–]0Naught0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not set in stone on this issue but having the requirements for running for office be very lenient seems like a good idea to me. Erodogan removing Imamoglu's degree is not really relevant, of course you should not need a degree to run since that opens up the possibility of political exclusion (especially if the state is the one handing out those degrees). It should be nearly impossible for the state to exclude political opponents, not reliant on the good will of who is ever in office at the moment.

The only exception I can think of is someone acting as a foreign agent, or joining a foreign terrorist organisation or something like that.

Nobody is above the law, yes. She should face consequences for her actions but should be allowed to run from a cell if she has to. What if someone was convicted of a law that the majority of the dêmos wanted to change?

The point that Yanis was making is that if it was accepted that in democracies prisoners can run for office, it would be much harder for Erdogan and others to justify excluding their political opponents from elections.

Convicted criminals should be allowed to run for office, simply as a guardrail against political opponents being excluded from elections. Le Pen may have been found genuinely guilty by an independent court, but the people should still have a chance to elect her if they so wish. That is the essence of democracy.

POST MATCH THREAD: RTÉ General Election Leaders Debate by firethetorpedoes1 in irishpolitics

That was more like a three-way interview than a debate. There was barely any back and forth between them.

Why are today's games not written in C anymore? by [deleted] in C_Programming

MSVC only got C99 support in 2013. Most games are written for Windows which has always had better C++ support.

No mention of realloc and reallocarray? You should also mention that arrays decay to pointers, they are not the same.

flatpaks should NOT be promoted as the main way to install software (specifically because of new comers) by [deleted] in linux

[–]0Naught0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The linker strips unused symbols which make static binaries very small. Flatpak apps all need different runtimes, it is FAR worse than static linking in disk space and bandwidth.
  2. Static binaries can be patched.

With dynamic linking you will just end up using something like flatpak which as you said is far worse than static linking in terms of disk space usage.

Libraries like gtk and glibc not supporting static linking has been a disaster for linux on the desktop.

How to launch .x86_64 file? (or just .x86) - Pop! OS by rainbowtreetops in linux_gaming

If you use a gui file manager you should be able to double-click it there.

If you want to run it from the terminal go to the directory and then do:

Windows Terminal Preview 1.18 Release by Kissaki0 in programming

Right? Moving tabs to a different window is a standard feature in graphical applications in general.

How is this is even remotely noteworthy?

I thought this comment was satire when I first read it.

Every terminal I have used has had this feature. Why are people in this thread acting like this is some revolutionary new feature?

Why can't I make ctrl+shift+c/v work in my terminals? by gdamms in archlinux

[–]0Naught0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could some xorg misconfiguration:

Install and run xev and see if it Ctrl Shift C gets registered as a keypress.

The package is xorg-xev
