English Noun Incorporation?

I was at a talk today with some Ojibwe data where invariably the claim that "English doesn't have incorporation" or at least incorporation of objects came up. We have "vacume clean" but generally we only incorporate the instrument. I remember a similar discussion coming up a few years ago in 2007 and I asked myself about apple picking. My colucators said, sure, but you can't say apple pick right? I thought about it a bit and came up with a linear string of words that might get google results. I remember I searched for "we apple picked" and found a few results, indicating to me that some people say it, generally when discussing their weekends. So, having my Android with me at the talk I googled again. This time I found a lot more examples than before, 394 to be exact, all of the first page clear examples with native speakers, speaking naturally. I've heard this claim can be traced back to Baker 1988. When I got home I googled the claim &quo

10.6.8 update spells Joy for Minimacs everywhere

If, after updating to 10.6.8 you get into a reboot loop, never fear the update is the same as every other update, except there is a step involving replacing the kernel. This is very easy to do if you either (a) download it and save it on your Minimac before you update to 10.6.8, or (b) you have a mac formated USB key that you can copy it onto after your Minimac starts looping. Here is the super-condensed minimal effort path to get you into Minimac heaven... (no not a dead Minimac, a running one), at least until Lion comes out. On another computer (preferably a Mac or Ubuntu) Download the legacy kernel [mirror] Put it on a Mac formated USB key * On the Reboot Looping Minimac Hold down Shift as you boot At the boot loader screen type (once you start typing it will apear in black letters on the bottom of the screen) recovery=yes, -x Once it has finished loading, plug in the USB key Copy the legacy_kernel-10.6.8.bz2 to your Minimac Double click on it to unzip it M

The consequences of archiving open source repos

For this year's vacation, my plans were to add more integration testing on the FieldDB prototype and start converting it to work offline again due to the Chrome store discontinuation of support for apps . Instead, my plans became to update the services to use Node 12. We had switched to using es6 in the web site in 2016, and most by now build tools are intentionally (or unintentionally) dropping support for pre-es6 versions of Node. The path to the Node 12 update was relatively short, though bumpy. The starting point for this work was that we were using a yarn.lock on the webserver app, but the EC2 instance didn't have yarn installed, and so when installing using npm we were getting install failures due to node-sass. While we are at it, let's update everything. NRC deleted their Github repo At some point between the last successful build October 29 2017 and July 15 2020, the NRC had deleted their repo https://github.com/nrc-cnrc/InuktitutToolkit. The result was test
