Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•can anyone recommend an English to Taiwanese Mandarin translator with pinyin or bopomofo as well so I learn both the characters and its pronunciation?English
2·3 months agoYou wouldn’t be using pinyin for this.
Pinyin is specifically tailored for the Beijing dialect (which is now what you call mandarin) back in the 1950s. Other dialects or regional variants do not translate well into pinyin.
For example, Shanghainese and all Wu-style dialects have 5 tones instead of 4. If you’re using Pinyin you’re using the Beijing pronunciation.

Futurology@futurology.today•U.S. researchers have successfully genetically modified a hookworm to deliver a therapeutic drug. They say hookworms may be the ideal delivery mechanism for long-term drug release.English

If the hawk is stuck, you’ll just have to consume a Rudy Giuliani on a hunting trip and hope he doesn’t accidentally shoot you as well.
Nah. The dumpster fire known as gcc still survived until this day.
There’s a reason why almost every new optimization/language starts with llvm.

I don’t. The tech I cleared out is old enough to still be useless even in the current landscape. Mainly boiling down to:
It’s battery tech so old the cost of a replacement battery is more than the tech itself
It uses connectivity (wired or wireless) that is no longer compatible with current tech without maintaining a separate set of workarounds (I’m keeping the PS/2 keyboards though)
The compute is so limited it’s easier to spin up a tiny container on my existing hardware
The last phone I threw away was so old it literally couldn’t run RPGMaker without lagging on every tile move. It did not have USB Type-C HDMI output due to hardware limitations and relied on Google Chromecast only. At that point, there really is no reason to keep it anymore.
