Installation of Windows and MacOS defaults to US + local layouts.

I'm from a non-English country. I only ever use layout of my locale when I write in my language. That's how it was ever since I was a kid who knew little English. And that's how all computers I've encountered in my count

Today I learned that there exist people who use non-US layouts when coding. That’s spectacular!

Rust compiler checks things for you. People trust the Rust compiler because it enforces rules they want, so people don’t have to be in its place. Your suggestion is to be that checker to LLM-generated code. Back to square one.

yes, really, don't do it. it's a danger not only to yourself, but to others as well.

yes, i agree, nix should be considered the bible of bad documentations. it’s very bad at spotlighting the essentials and putting the non-essentials aside. it’s especially surprising for derivations, because nix is really, in the end, a fron

one great property of the terminal is that it’s not a continuous canvas. it’s a grid of discrete cells, just as it is natural for computers to be. instead of laying interactive objects out in virtual space, you’re pushed to think in discret

a stack frame is a runtime object, while a type exists only to the compiler. the suggestion to create it in a call just makes no sense. a type is a definition, not an instance.
