Seems cool, but it’s currently missing some pretty important languages (Hindi, Urdu, Thai, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Swahili, etc). I’d put up with something limited like this if it was FOSS and/or selfhostable but it appears not to be
Just noticed in euclidean geometry, for any two line segments touching at a point there is exactly one triangle you can draw, i.e. a triangle is uniquely described by any two of its legs. In spherical geometry, there are two choices for the third leg!
This film was amazing. I love Joe Gilgun. Never finished the sequel TV show, should probably go and do that!
Did you make this? I would get it printed lol
If someone can find me this shirt I rly want to buy it
I read somewhere that this phenomenon is so unlikely that if we ever need to represent our planet in an intergalactic context, the solar eclipse would be a good candidate for a symbol to put on a flag [citation needed]

I think this’ll be good. Pixar’s Soul had an incredible electronic soundtrack
Yeah, I’d be frustrated too if the chips were that far from my body and I had to lean over to get more…
My college dorm was like this. Every bathroom was ungendered. The stalls weren’t fully floor to ceiling, but were slightly better than the average public bathroom. 99% of people got over it after a little culture shock at the very beginning (maybe 2-3 days).
There was still one women-only bathroom in my building; I believe it was for a few students who asked for religious consideration. No biggie though for almost every student.
It only led to one embarrassing moment for me: I (a guy) was singing Frank Ocean at the top of my lungs while showering. When I came out of the shower a girl was brushing her teeth and made eye contact with me and kind of snickered/giggled. Racewalked back to my room 💀
I don’t think there’s any consistent association between side of the road and side of the escalator. E.g. within Japan, I think either Kansai or maybe Osaka specifically does it opposite to most of the rest of the country.
I went to a trivia night at a local bar with a guy from high school and his family. We were in contention for the top. The whole night I was useless, since most of the questions were about European sports legends or actors or singers from the 20th century. The guy starts feeling up the last question:
“This is a tricky one and one of my favorites. Going to the realm of technology… What is the name for a unit of measurement, named after a Disney character, which is related to how far your mouse moves?”
The whole family looks at me, cause I’m known to be a tech guy.
Complete blank. Flustered. Uhhh uhmmm it’s called DPI? Pointer speed?? Is there a Disney character called Peter Pointer?..
We lost. They were disappointed, but not as disappointed as I was in myself.
Went up to the trivia guy at the end to ask him to show his sources. He pulled up a legit looking wikipedia article so I accepted my defeat.
Sequel to cocaine bear looking good
Nix being an expression based functional language, it doesn’t really make sense to have something like let x=y; since this looks to most people like a statement (i.e. a line of code that gets executed as part of a sequence). This doesn’t exist in nix—instead you have expressions that get lazily evaluated, possibly out of order compared to what you’d expect. let x=y in makes it more clear that the variable binding you’re doing is only in scope for the current expression, which reads something like “let x refer to y in x + 3”
The function definition syntax is unusual but definitely not unintuitive imo. It captures the simplicity of the function semantics of nix—a function is just a mapping/transformation from one value (or set of values) to another. I don’t think it’s too much overhead to learn that they use : to mean this instead of =>
In terms of why they picked this syntax, it follows the traditions of other functional languages such as the ML family, Haskell etc.
I guessed the same. I have annoyingly wide feet, so I might give this a try, but I feel like it would leave too much loose lace
How exactly does the parallel lace one work? Like I don’t see where the laces come out underneath
Look, Raymond: a yellow-crested warbler.
If that promo picture is anything to go by I think we missed out on a “so bad it’s good” opportunity
