"Neurotypical" means "not neurodivergent". In the colloquial usage, a "neurodivergent" person is someone who is autistic or has ADD/ADHD. More generally, it means someone's cognition and behavior diff

So you have a commercial product under a proprietary license, which forks a BSD-3-clause shell and an MIT-licensed terminal emulator? I don't think you can do that. Edit: My apologies. I was mistaken. Carry on :)

I like your pithy remark! I'm calling that "Flir's Law" from now on, after your username.

Forum functionality is possible; the protocol allows for user input in the form of prompting the user to enter a string and sending that to the server before loading the page. Example: gemini://chat.mozz.us/

You should learn about the Gemini protocol! It's an alternative to HTTPS that uses a document markup language similar to Markdown instead of HTML, and uses a deliberately simplified, feature-frozen protocol with the explicit goal that

Hmm... I wonder what portion of all matter in the Universe is the intergalactic medium? I would conjecture that most matter in the intergalactic medium has never been inside a star.

Zero. Of all the atoms in the Universe, about 98% are primordial hydrogen and helium[1], "primordial" meaning they formed very shortly after the Big Bang. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_the_che

Yes, you are wrong to think that. Every computer is manufactured with the knowledge that we will have superior computers in just a few years. :)

At any point in space, a celestial object at distance d will tend to appear to move away from you faster than an object at a distance less than d. The only thing special about the Earth here is that it happens to be where we live.

If you’re writing a program or a library to perform fast arithmetic computation over large numeric arrays, Fortran is the optimal tool for the job.

That's assuming that society just sits back and dies helplessly while we surpass 30% unemployment. In the Great Depression, that's not what happened; rather, we got a dramatic surge in organized labor, the New Deal, and World War

A website run by a large corporation is very different from a store run by Jane. Jane does not have thousands or millions of people coming into her store, and she also is not selling CCTV footage from her store to advertising companies. We

It means you're trying to bait me with a provocative statistic. Two can play at that game. What does it mean to you that Israel is bombing a population which comprises over 40% children under the age of 14[1]? [1] https://en

Sounds like a cool hack, but why not just self-host with on-premises hardware, or rent a cloud server from a hosting provider like e.g. Digitalocean? Then you wouldn't have to worry so much about what Microsoft wants, no?
