Finally, a non-woke alternative!

A toad is a type of frog. These guys are all posers.

I bet if you asked Alan Turing about Al, he’d say he prefers to be called Alan

A 70% murder rate sounds accurate for the US

A right angle exists between the radius of the circle and the line tangent to the circle at the point that the radial line intersects it. So we can say the radius forms a right angle with the circle at that point because the slope of the curve is equal to that of the tangent line at that point.

Pigeons come with holes in them by default.

Seems like not a real programming paradigm, and I don’t mean in a No True Scotsman way. It really is in a separate category of thing. Could’ve said logic programming or stack-oriented programming.

Tf is “return oriented”?

What about April Fools’ Day?

The ADHD cope to research a thing for tens of hours across weeks or even months, agonizing over the purchase of the thing (especially if multiple options are available) before ultimately deciding that it isn’t worth the relatively minuscule cost.

Modal editing for just raw text input would actually be slower, because you also enter and leave Insert Mode. I find it’s very fast and powerful for navigating around the text, which you probably do a lot more than actually editing it. And when it does come to editing, there are a lot of higher-level tools (at least in Vim) for accomplishing things more quickly, like the ‘s’ command and ‘q’ macros.

I think getting into a mental “flow” state is really valuable, and muscle memory is important for being able to stay there. If your muscle memory is to navigate around using the mouse, that’s great, but Vim feels faster to me.

Acronyms, backronyms, portmanteaus, and puns

90% hyena, 10% raccoon

I just thought Sweaty was a hilarious name for a camel in the desert.

Of course. I’m just talking about folklore as it relates to story elements. Moana isn’t an adapted fairy tale like Aladdin or Snow White.

As far as I can tell, only Maui and the Kakamora (not as cute, little coconut people but as tricky spirits) are specifically elements of Pacific Island folklore.

It’s a better replacement for the built-in >= predicate.

Yeah, you would get a runtime error calling that member without checking that it exists.

Javascript and not Coq?

I disagree. X is a useless letter in English; it’s always copying other letters or combinations of letters. Meanwhile, there’s a special rule where putting an ‘s’ and an ‘h’ together makes a different sound. Why not have a single letter for that?
