PhilosophicsI've finally published my essay resolving the Frege–Geach problem.
Or have I? You tell me. I had worked to dissolve the problem in February, but I wasn't satisfied. I revised the manuscript in March, but I wasn't satisfied because I felt I could go further – and so I did.

Lustig. Das kann man nicht richtig #gendern, weil der Text drumrum dann keinen Sinn mehr ergibt. Ich habe jetzt einfach die weibliche Form benutzt.
Stefan MüllerI always say that we are one family. Pauline Jacobson, working in #CategorialGrammar, argues that the #GPSG analysis of nonlocal dependencies is right and imports this into Categorial Grammar.

novaTopFlexHype for the Future 139G → How to Install Virtual Machines for QEMU
Introduction With the Quick Emulator system, depending on platform and system architecture, the proper syntax for opening the virtual machine command is qemu-system-, where arch is the particular architecture in question. On select types of systems, such as ARM (32-bit qemu-system-arm and 64-bit qemu-system-aarch64), a specific machine configuration is required, using the -machine or shorthand -M command flag and associated parameter. Even though ARM virtual machines support -M virt, […]
Tim MillsA student in an intro ling class has asked me why the "me" in "not me procrastinating again" is not "I", as the subject of "procrastinating". This is beyond the level we cover, and my syntax-fu is rusty - can any other linguist out there suggest a reason?
Radio_AzureusOpen Meteo
Have you played with api.open-meteo.com
Don't go straight from port 443, otherwise you get this
Instead use https://open-meteo.com/en/docs
Then play with the API from there. You'll learn the chemistry and physics for your area while you play with this fun API.
It's a fun game and you learn (with hand holding) how to play with open-meteo API
If that's not your fancy @stefano may have done all the work for you, check his service here on the fediverse. If you country has not been added yet (it's a LOT of work!) then come back and play with the API just like I do
Have fun with api.open-meteo.com
Don't cross 10000 calls per day!
