It’s always amusing when the Neovim users pretend to like Lua. It’s not like Emacs Lisp is the best language out there (it’s not, and I’d much rather Emacs was configured in Scheme, they’re working on it…), but at least it’s a good fit, by design, for configuration.

Maybe unconfigured. Even Jesus Christ wouldn’t be able to handle the Vimscript.

I’ve never understood the need for fish. The shell experience is basically the same as zsh, and although it’s much more pleasant to script for, you miss out on compatibility with POSIX-compliant snippets, and besides, if you’re writing long and complicated scripts that need anything more than a handful of scalar variables you should probably be using Python (or Perl if you’re an old-school masochist).

As if modern websites care about Firefox

IIRC pressing the power button once silences the call (but doesn’t reject it) and pressing it again rejects the call.
Also if the phone is already unlocked, there’s a button to decline. I don’t know why it doesn’t appear when the phone is locked.

The finding held when the researchers accounted for people being right-handed, right-footed and right-eye dominant, and was seen in both male and female walkers.

I think they’ve just been trained on corporate speak

It’s kind of linear, in the largest element of the array. Just not in the length of the array.

people have a very hard time with the idea that language in general […] evolve[s] over time

Writing is not language. Speaking is language (edit: in this particular case), and there’s no phonetic change here. If a spelling is due to another language that the parents, or really anyone, speak, that’s fine. But if your language (read: English) has such a terrible spelling system that people can do these things completely arbitrarily and the spelling is still somewhat readable, there’s something wrong with that writing system (not with the people!)

The Either monad (also known as Result) provides Go-like error handling, but automated. You only check manually for errors after the last call, the monad handles the process.

But this is just one example of a monad, there are many more.

It says “strawberry morning”, lit. “morning of strawberry” (might be misspelled??)
It’s a variation on common Arabic morning greetings, “good morning”, “morning of roses”, “morning of light”, etc.

Floor/door and poor might differ depending on dialect

And the whole point of zoology and cooperative is that they aren’t digraphs (hence why some super posh people write coöperative)

Definitely. East and Southeast Asia, the entire Indian subcontinent, most of the Middle East and parts of Greece and (maybe) Italy?!

So unbalanced.

Ctrl+A, Ctrl+E

Many more basic Emacs keybindings work, actually! Including C-f, C-b, C-p and C-n (if you prefer them over arrow keys) as well as M-f and M-b to move by words, C-k, M-d and C-y for killing/yanking (but not M-w) and C-SPC, C-w, C-x C-x for region manipulation (tested in Bash and ZSH)

For some reason, Lot and his family were considered the only ones worth saving in that city.

Only because Abraham pleaded with God to save them

Yes. Is it all religious fanatics? No, that’s a minority. Secular Zionism is a thing too.

Kind of? Zionism started as a secular movement, and although Israel still has a secular majority, we’ve seen a kind of inversion where the religious Zionists have become the most extreme and committed. Don’t get me wrong: Zionism is still dependent on the consent and support of the secular majority, and wouldn’t be able to achieve anything without it, but now it’s largely being pulled further right by the religious branch,

Not necessarily of two-party systems or FPTP, I think this is a property of single-member districts in general. If you have multi-member districts (say 4 or 5 representatives per district) this becomes much less effective. Statewide PR solves this by removing districts, which for most people isn’t ideal.

Are H and J compatible?

I can see the instagram version with yt-dlp

I interpret this being more about how GNOME apps function in general, also on other desktops, which is fair criticism.
