For some reason, after reading the title of the article, I immediately thought the culprit was Emacs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33524683

I think the author of the post was referring to the fact that Belgium is a multinational state, comprised of Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia.

I could just upvote your comment (which I did), but I'd like to tell you explicitly that your comment was particularly informative. Thanks!

Lucky you! I tried learning with examples generated by ChatGPT and none of them worked at all. I then learned the basics of the API by reading this excellent tutorial: https://osm-…

I don't know if you went to a French-speaking school in Belgium, but I was told the same thing in a French school. The French "continent" certainly refers to a large mass of land a…

Indeed (I guess you meant "much better to have it with ZFS support already enabled"). I simply mentioned this for people unaware of the existence of this script who don't have netw…

The script available there: https://github.com/eoli3n/archiso-zfs makes it extremely easy to add ZFS support to any Arch ISO after it has booted. You can copy any standard ISO to a…

This is ridiculous. If anything, California tends to be liberal - nothing to do with Socialism (let alone Communism). What does being a "woke" State (whatever that means) have to d…

Donald Knuth is (fortunately) still alive.

There's no high horse. Your message doesn't answer the argument. The fact (A) that one wouldn't buy music if Spotify weren't available is not related to (B) not caring about how Sp…

Does it make it more true?

I think you missed the OP's point. This is precisely not about "being useful to you" or "useless to someone else". The point is that not everything has to be useful, and that it is…

This is mostly very silly and is not backed by facts. 1. On "pedophilia in Algeria": a. You are probably referring to the rumors started by Guy Sorman which mention crimes allegedl…

He's thus probably exactly what they are looking for.

So it makes them better?

I am not sure I want to know about your political opinions if you consider Mitchell as being "far-left" (not that I'm a great fan of hers). That is certainly not what the far left …

> Arch is a full time job to maintain I've never understood that sentiment. Are there things I don't know about I should be doing? I installed Arch probably four years ago on my la…

The plugin you are referring to is evil-args ( https://github.com/wcsmith/evil-args ), which is included in Doom Emacs by default.

Please don't patronize me. I am responding to claims, not judging you and will ask you to please do the same. The difference between Open Source and Free software (incidentally, I …

Just because the OP was not specific enough (as they indeed weren't) doesn't make your claim true.

I was simply pointing out the fact that your claim that '[u]sually "open source license" equates to MIT license and BSD licenses' is simply completely untrue. There are no 'might's…

The difference between 'open source software' and 'free software' has nothing to do with copyleft. The vast majority of open source software licenses are also free software license…

Not all 'open source' licenses are 'non-copyleft' or 'permissive' licenses.
