I think that confirms my suspicion. Even the guile-emacs in guix is based on a commit from 2015-05-12.

It depends on the lab work. Particularly when dealing with long-running biology experiments, not keeping up with certain "maintenance" can ruin months of work. And if a researcher is going on a honeymoon, they likely need to do so

It's possible my information is out of date, but I am under the impression that guile-emacs development stalled five years ago.

I'm not sure I would consider Emacs's technical foundation rock-solid. Elisp is a bit of a relic, with little in the way of modern niceties, some anti-features, and a slow implementation. And heavy use of cons lists causes a lot o

You're quite right about my example! I was too focused on other things and wrote a poor one. Fortunately the Canadian Department of Justice has a better example, with a legal focus: >"When an applicant notifies the other reside

Singular "they" is very old and was not frowned upon when those were written. But there was a long period from 1800~2000 where it was maligned, particularly in formal writing. This shift was apparently down to grammarians of 18th

Do you have more detail on this? Is there supporting detail from other sources? It's not clear from my brief reading that the association was conclusively for self-defense and held no insurrectionary or political aspect.

It's a weird problem with the language. Despite many attempts, with proposals like "xe" and "thon"[0], English never picked up a good gender-neutral singular third-person pronoun. [Yeesh, that's a mouthful of a

Hydrogen embrittles metal, combusts too readily, and generally must be stored at pressure for transport; pumped hydro requires the right geology/topology; batteries wear out; kinetic energy storage is low-density.

Yeah, it wouldn't be enough to make such a huge difference. Nor would it explain the different RPM. Just wanted to note it for the sake of completeness.

One possible error in ground speed measurement: the tire likely grew in diameter as it spun faster. I don't know how large the effect is here, but it's worth checking or noting.

Most of the Latin subscript glyphs are from the Phonetic Extensions block. They only added those that were actually used in various phonetic notations. This Wikipedia page has a good list of why various ones were added, in addition to those

There's a statement both sides can agree on! (They are, of course, agreeing to opposite understandings of the statement. But half a horse is better than no horse, so we will consider it a show of political unity.)
