"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • etalon/ˈɛtəlɒn/noun Physicsnoun: etalon; plural noun: etalons

    a device consisting of two reflecting glass plates, employed for measuring small differences in the wavelength of light using the interference it produces.

    I don't see how that word makes sense in that phrase

  • But cars in our world tend to be much tamer.What model did the car companies use to get that result?

    Ah! Nevermind.

    Of course they used the Anger model to make a Tractor, which then turned into a Lamborghini post kicking.

  • Nice.I just tend to open multiple tabs when that's required, but then I lose my exported variables.

    Good to have this. I tend to prefer zsh though, so will try and see a good way to do it there.

  • Hjkl are superior to arrow keys once you get used to them.

    I disagree with this point. I am able to use them quite functionally and I still want my arrow keys, because they are arrow keys. Also, you can use them without exiting INSERT mode.

    I do however, agree with your last point.^[I agree with the fact that you disagree with me. Nothing else.]

    Oh, and I also don't like the pseudo ergonomics of mechanical keyboards.All they do is make it harder to use with a more relaxed hand position.

    Jump

  • Yeah, same as crafts-people now.Assembly lines increased minimum quality while reducing the maximum quality and caused a scarcity of people learning to make stuff themselves.

    So now the people that do, get paid more per amount of work. IDK how much work they get though.

  • Average Rust Error

  • Yeah, C++ would give a linker error.

    But that won't be C++, but the linker.Because as far as C++ goes, all stuff is in a single source file, until fairly recently.

  • They make it easier to fit in many errors in a small widgetand provide the user the option to see the rest of the error right there.Then you have the option in the context menu to go to the actual error text.I expect these things to be basically available in my IDE

  • One +ive for nano is that it has general commands listed down below, by default.So, as long as you understand ^ and M-, which you are expected to (idk why, ask sbd else), if you have been using Linux CLI, you will at least know how to exit.

    Oh, and I just realised: it also says "[ Welcome to nano. For basic help, type Ctrl+G. ]", where it explains what ^ and M- are.

    So nano could be considered an accessibility program for people who are new to the GeNerally Used CLI, while vim is the thing you will configure for yourself when you know what you want.Oh and I am definitely configuring it. I hate the hjkl for movement. I have arrow keys and I am going to use them. And I am not buying your 60% mechanicals no matter how much you make sure that 100% keyboards are not available with good keys.

  • SourceGit - Opensource Git GUI client

    Jump

  • Agree. If it's not part of the IDE I am using, prefer a terminal window.Even if it is in the IDE, in most cases, use the terminal.Unless some functionality is adding value, like getting a git log for the current file, or in-place git blame, or even for a specific line, which would be considerably longer commands to type and IDEs tend to give output with colours and hyperlinks to corresponding commits, which make stuff faster rather than slower (unlike in case of simple commit/stage/push commands).

  • Also, your quotes are wrong, ‘ should be ’ .

    Alright, I am getting confused. What quotes are those?

    I got this from the stuff I copied from your comment: 

     
        
❯ ./UTF8txt2hex ’‘
UTF-8: e2 80 99 e2 80 98
UTF-16: 2019 2018 
UCS 4: 00002019 00002018

    And these are the single quote and backtick I used (of course I had to escape them, because they are the actual ones): 

     
        
❯ ./UTF8txt2hex \`
UTF-8: 60
UTF-16: 60 
UCS 4: 00000060 
❯ ./UTF8txt2hex \'
UTF-8: 27
UTF-16: 27 
UCS 4: 00000027

    And from what I see, your original comment had the correct ones, so was this all to elicit this response out of me?

  • Each runway is only used by one airport

    Nice one.I remember having to sit in an hour long drive to go from one airport to another, because you are not allowed to use the other airport if you have been checked in to one, when landing.So you have to leave one from its exit and enter the other through the designated entry, even though the actual point you are going to, is a 2 minute walk.
