Introduces confusion how? Because it doesn’t agree with the arbitrary convention you happened to grow up with? Why is your preferred convention not equally objectively bad? I thought Americans were supposed to be the egotists.

I’d love to hear what’s objectively ‘wrong’ with this one. They’re arbitrary symbols. If anything, isn’t the decimal more akin to a full stop, while a digit separator is more of a pause?

What reputable VPNs these days offer port forwarding? That’s a big part of what keeps me on a seedbox.

C is a little older than namespacing and object orientation. C++ wasn’t even a glimmer in Bjarne’s eye when these conventions were laid down.

And yes, having to google it is part of the design. Originally C programmers would have had to read actual manuals about this stuff. Once you learn the names you don’t really forget so it works well enough even now for ubiquitous standard library functions.

And yet, C was an ergonomic revelation to programmers of the time. Now it’s the arcane grandpa that most youngsters don’t put up with.

Oh, so it’s Hashcash; cool to see that idea getting real use.

Combine them into a blazing fast 14.4 MB RAID 0.

He’s absolutely right! He’d be violating a trademark, not copyright.

My sleuthing suggests I Saw the TV Glow (2024).

Plus having any rendering engine have a monopoly is terrible for the web long term.

Gentoo or Manjaro are to Arch? What do you mean? Those two are very different from each other especially in their relationships to Arch.

Eh, huel is like liquid clif bars. Sometimes you just want something quick and easy but reasonably nutritious.

Turns out massively parallel computation has applications beyond video rendering.

It doesn’t need to sound the same though, as long as the listener can spell ‘egg’.

Religion hasn’t had its time so much as it is rapidly evolving along with the rest of society.

Religion does not have to mean sky daddy or even have to imply belief in the supernatural.

That’s essentially it, but Gentoo has never required systemd.

Don’t besmirch the cult of vim like that!

That’s just one thing the editing language does, though. There’s no single feature you can point to as the smoking gun; it’s all the small advantages added together that make vi worthwhile.

Not just the next parenthesis that appears, It jumps to the matching one that opens or closes the one under the cursor. Hitting it repeatedly bounces back and forth around the text that pair of parentheses enclose.

It works not only with brackets and curly braces, but also with opening and closing tags in XML etc.

I feel like other editors must have an equivalent feature, though. I’d say the fact that vi can put such a specific action under just % rather than some nasty chord or mouse operation is what really makes it shine here.

Nano is extremely basic, it’s not really the right comparison. Vi competes well with heavyweight GUI editors and IDEs, yet is available about as ubiquitously as nano.

By learning vi, I can have my no-compromises favorite editor equally available to me locally or remotely. The terse, low-chord (looking at you, nano) editing language in vi means I’m not even that hampered when I do remote editing from my phone.
