Great. I would like to be able to do that.

Danke Merkel!

I need a sabbatical. Canada maybe or New Zealand. A retreat to a monastery also sounds nice. I will rebuild an old farm house. Something along these lines. :)

It doesn’t have to be the truth, or does it?

Some people are just one hit wonders, so it could be für nothing. But it would be worth a try.

It’s definitively better than to give the idea of nuclear fission to Henry Cavendish in 1766. Right now we live in the sweet spot between discovery and… broad practical application.

It felt unusual at first that they attached semantics to (white spaces and tabs as) non-printable characters. On the other hand other n.p.- characters like line feeds always had a meaning (I.e. within multi line strings).

So why not, when it helps to reduce the amount of (printable) characters to describe your thing and increase clarity? 🤔

Be aware that there are over 30 books by him out there.

All in all there are are like 40. At some point you will wish there were more.

Guards! Guards! is nice.
I also liked The Wee Free Men and a Hat Full of Sky.

If you like Andy Weirs novels, Tchaikowskys books are worth a try. I.e.:

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky

I proposed an extension of the feature set. The current behaviour is still possible. You can use the added feature but you don’t have to.

The issue for me: The current landscape in lemmy has a lot of sparsely filled groups - I do not browse by group (filter by subscribed or all and sorted by new or hot).
In this view multiple identical posts with distributed replies are shown. This adds redundancy in the comments and reduces clarity.

Edit: The idea rises the question, how the ownership (or relation) of a post to the group and its replies should be handled. Using an x-post-like approach is just one idea.

Allow multiple groups per post (use them like tags). This would have some interesting implications regarding moderation and the handling of replies to the said post.

Having multiple identical posts in different groups with distributed replies doesn’t feel ideal to me.

Why do they wait in line for one guy? It’s just a select and there should be multiple employees at the counter, or not?

So many orphaned comments and no post. Strange.

“You are the number 1111 (base 255) for me.” isn’t even a backhanded compliment any more, or is it?

I mean, that puts the person in question behind 16.843.008 more favourable people (unless I’ve miscalculated).

You mean used their digits? There are only 8 fingers. But then there is also the octal system. And together with a friend you could count in hexadecimal… :)

I just realised that digits translates to Finger in german. And finger also translates to Finger. But you have 10 of the former and 8 of the latter. Funny.

I looked up miter joint and butt joint and I’m beginning to understand what you wanted to say.

Yes, maybe.

It doesn’t hurt to know the basic commands to insert, copy, paste with vim. But with bim, handling the tool always consumed a too big percentage of my attention in respect to doing the task at hand. I still use it for small file changes.

Oracle happened to OpenOffice.

Ah. It makes sense now. Thanks.

Why update before select? Shouldn’t it be the other way around? (I’m clueless. )

Uncached server side rendered response times in double digit milliseconds.

Thirst thought, that sounds slow. But for the use case of delivering html over the Internet it is fast enough.
