Some of them are plain wrong, as well. The ы sound barely ever shows up in english and their explanation of "it's the I in bill" is not right at all. The closest I can get is the imaginary vowel between the D and the N in the

Comments should be based on intention. If I, as the programmer, am writing a piece of code and feel like there's something that I need to communicate about my intention in writing this, then I should. But if it's just surface le

More than triple if your numbers are right. That does sound like a lot.

The syntax was intriguing, so I checked out their github page: https://github.com/PLangHQ/ First example that caught me eyes: CreateUser - Make sure %password% and %email% is not empty - Hash %pas

Yeah that makes more sense. You compared it to "hundreds of days" of uptime which is where I got confused :)

The steam deck? Mine is terrible at this, I have to shut it down cause otherwise it just dies. Battery holds up just fine when playing games though.

Bootstrapping with forth is a GREAT idea. I think it's one of the best languages to use for bootstrapping. The reason is simple: forth can be almost the first thing in the chain, and it's so flexible that most of the rest of the b

> Which makes it impossible to replace a selection by pasting. In principle this is false with a Plan9-like model of mouse chording. Holding left click over a selection and tapping middle click is a reasonable solution.

Reminds me of that time my mom spilled a cup of coffee on the keyboard — and then dried it with the hair dryer. We spent a few weeks using the other end of a paint brush to hit the keys whose caps melted off until we could get a new one.

Does someone know why these are not reentrant without the GNU extension? It seems like a really weird choice to make a library for hash tables and then make the state global like that.

Exactly. I've heard this argument before, that "humans only need their eyes so you only need one forward-pointing camera" but this makes no sense to me. Humans turn around and look at stuff. Your head moves around constantly.

Maybe, but your life is almost definitely more luxurious (unless you live somewhere where that's not the case). Not everyone could manage to live like this, I think.

A very good way to make writing clearer is to replace the words that you don't care to know with other words that are completely inaccurate. Question: how is it helpful for you to label them as a straight couple? Why would it matter to

I wonder why this bothers you so much as to go on the internet and tell everyone what you personally think about who those two people actually are.

The cheat code is that they have a Patreon. They make things that people like, so people pay them for it. "They don't work" is a bit reductive. Working is producing value, and value is whatever people are willing to pay for.

How so? NES games are genuinely more portable than C programs that do anything involving graphics or IO. A simple example is the fact that they use Plan 9 C. I urge you to try making a simple game that runs on both Plan 9 and Linux. The onl

The game is defined to start with an infinite all-zeroes tape.

And since some states have an extra photo, the title is 100% wrong. There are over 50 photos for less than 50 states :)

Why would ChatGPT have any idea about this at all? Its dataset wasn't made up of estimations for energy funds, and it makes absolutely no sense to ask it about that? I'm not sure why these figures or even their ratio would be trus

This isn't the case if the driver (or, car computer, nowadays) rev-matches properly. Which is a skill that all manual drivers should have IMO.

And of course, you never know where to look for information, and sometimes it's replicated to other official websites with differences. Let's not forget the weird decision they made with the ac- domains, too. Instead of having all

I've written a response but unfortunately it doesn't fit in a comment. I think this is reasonable since your linked article doesn't either. Hopefully you'll consider this: https://pastebin.com/m4TuVvbH

Have you read the article? It's not clickbait, it literally goes on to explain it, and it's only a couple paragraphs. I honestly don't see the issue, and the fact that the author acknowledged a potential question is IMO a goo

> Plan 9 GUIs Mostly just Acme, though. The others are kind of mediocre and don't have this mechanism. Oberon does implement something like this system-wide, and iirc that was the inspiration for Acme.
