The same issue exists in French, as well! "Écureuil" ( squirrel ) is somewhat difficult for English speakers to pronounce, and "squirrel" ( écureuil ) is somewhat difficult for French speakers to pronounce.

For a more fun take on this, the author also has an extremely thorough analysis of the “military history” in Lord of the Rings. He specifically discusses siege engines in the context of the Battle of the Pellenor and food supplies in the co

IIRC, this was fixed in the last few releases- it had to do with OS X's weird user-session/permissions management. At the very least, I was able to comment out the following workaround: bind-key -T copy-mode-vi Enter send-ke

I’m not super familiar with the details, but all the the major Javascript engines definitely do extremely involved runtime optimizations, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the case you described is one of them.

Oh, get over yourself. That quote doesn't have anything to do with web development (and for that matter, it hardly has anything to do with mailboxes, except as a tongue-in-cheek example of an extraneous feature) so I have no idea why y

I think operator-pending is much less of a big deal when you can just finish the command and then hit "u" to undo it. As for visual mode... I just noticed something odd: in Neovim, <Esc> doesn't drop me back into Normal

I think this is one application of the “minimized pane” example the article showed: applications still have a way to show more data than just an indicator. Alternatively, you could let panes be resized smaller than their “native width”, and

I completely disagree. I occasionally use 3-finger swipe to switch between desktops on OS X and the "gentle brushing" motion actually feels more natural than trying to "point and click" with one finger. Now, to be perfec

I live in Seattle, and paper bags hold up remarkably well, even in the rainy weather- and in my experience, they’ve been more sturdy and hold more than than plastic bags, especially when doubled up. We also use them for our recycling- in

I'm not sure I catch your drift. It seems like the point is that it doesn't actually implement the SSH protocol - it just exploits the fact that a real SSH server is perfectly within its rights to send any data it wants to before

I think the author was approaching it from a sense of “what do I need to make a certain drink” rather than “how do these drinks actually differ?” The “edit” in this case is going out and buying a bottle of something. In that sense, it mak

It sounds more to me like the author is trying to illustrate those toxic thought processes (based on his personal experience) using that second-person perspective, rather than actually claiming that those things are true. It's just the

Although I mostly agree with you, it's worth noting that static typing only goes so far. When I worked in a large-scale Java codebase, it always seemed like half the code only existed in order to "work around" the type system

This was one of the first things I thought about when I read the docs. This is primarily meant to replace render props and HOCs, which solve a legitimate problem but are a royal PITA to use, especially with Typescript. This is going to make

I think people are getting too hung up on the "implicit ordering" thing. The only thing that really matters about the ordering of hooks is that the call pattern remains stable between render passes. This code: const [foo, se

100% agree with both points here. I live near an organic grocery store (PCC) here in Seattle which has a very reasonably-priced salad/hot-food bar, all things considered- and they also have a rotating selection of little take-out bento
