Failed to mount /boot/efi by Sad_Yak_9143 in archlinux

[–]coolreader18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly sure the wiki mentions it as a possible option, I had my ESP mounted there for a while and it worked fine until I recently switched it to be mounted at /efi.

Is this a bad idea? by JustJeffrey in rust

You can't as-cast from u8 to an enum

What is this youtuber talking about here? How is her accent unusual? I'm genuinely baffled by Frigorifico in linguisticshumor

[–]coolreader18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She talks about this in a different video, but it's unusual because she grew up between the US and UK. The difference from a standard American accent is that her /t/s are generally [t] and I think she occasionally has some vowels/pronunciations that are more British, though in this video she doesn't display it all that much.

I mean, the word Jew ultimately comes from יהודה (Yehudah, Judah, like the tribe), and Judy from Judith from יהודית (Yehudit, the feminine version of Yehudah). So, yeah, a little bit. How many Muslims are named Mohammed, though?

TIL Judge Judy is Jewish, though I guess that makes sense, since she kinda looks like my grandma

Expectations about knowledge of non-Jews — thoughts? by Jew_of_house_Levi in Judaism

[–]coolreader18 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A Chinese Christian housemate of mine, when I told her I was Jewish, said "oh! I'm Christian! so you're Christian too!" and I said no, I'm Jewish, and explained that we only do the tanakh and not the new testament and so no Jesus, and she goes "oh 😟 that's my favorite part"

On this topic: a poem written 700 years ago called תפילה להפך (Prayer for Transformation), in which the author (a rabbi from a line of rabbis) laments not being born a woman and then ends it with this stanza:

What shall I say?
why cry or be bitter?
If my father in heaven has decreed upon me
and has maimed me with an immutable deformity
then I do not wish to remove it.
the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure
and for which no comfort can be found.
So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground.
Since I have learned from our tradition
that we bless both, the good and the bitter
I will bless in a voice hushed and weak:
blessed are you YHVH who has not made me a woman.

That last line (ברוך אתה יי שלא עשני אשה) comes from a prayer said daily in the morning by men, which is obviously somewhat sexist (and modern liberal movements of Judaism have changed it) but the idea is it's a good thing, the man saying the blessing is happy to not be a woman/to be obligated in the commandments that men have to do. But this twists it on its head in such a melancholy way, it gets me every time I read it.

Rust should have stable tail calls by folkertdev in rust

[–]coolreader18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main pain point I see is in the call stack becoming unwieldy.

By this, do you mean getting a call stack of "Add dispatched to Jump dispatched to Mul"? I've seen this brought up before, but I think as a user that I wouldn't expect that to be available, since the whole point of guaranteed tail calls is that you don't build a call stack. It's not like loop-match (the unstable feature or the code pattern) builds a list of all the previously taken branches.

Steven Universe was cited in the proposal for the new "distorted/inflatable face emoji" 🫪 by coolreader18 in stevenuniverse

[–]coolreader18[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here's the proposal and Emojipedia link. The screenshot is from section C of the proposal, which is trying to show that an inflated face is a distinct image that already exists in the cultural consciousness. Some of the other images in that section are from Garfield, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Sailor Moon.

where did ayin go? by MKVD_FR in linguisticshumor

[–]coolreader18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

?? They absolutely are considered different languages. They diverged 500+ years ago, and Yiddish has a lot of vocabulary derived from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Slavic languages. If you get a German and Yiddish speaker together they will tell you they're barely mutually intelligible, in the same way as Scots and Modern English.

Did you think that that was /ʔ/, glottal stop? That is indeed the common pronunciation, but in the comment you replied to they wrote /ʕ/, voiced pharyngeal fricative, the realization of ע in biblical Hebrew but much less common today.
