    What about having it listed with the actual name, but when you're viewing it in the program launcher you have a hint in gray? Something like this: - Okular Document Viewer

    If I have two PDF viewers, should both be called "PDF viewer"? Gnome seems to love hiding the actual names (the gnome document viewer is actually called evince).

    You say underpromotion, but something people are surprised by is making a second queen ime. People sometimes assume promotion is actually "taking a captured piece back".

    What order are the bytes in 0xabcd intended to be used in? I don't see how making it 0x[ab, cd] would be ambiguous, it's the same assumption of reading left to right.

    I think the iBooks were made like that.

    That applies to GLSL in general. I tried once to emulate that using C unions, but quickly realized that there's no solution for v.xz, v.xw, v.yw, etc. You can write functions like …

    That's such a perl/raku thing, and I mean it in the best way possible.

    Of course it does - endianness interferes with any sort of numeric literal. Doesn't matter if it's hex, decimal, underscored, whatever.

    From what I can tell, sd has a feature that reads a comment or something from your scripts and displays them in the tab completion. So 'sd ' would show a summary of commands and ap…

    This is the reason why I love it. Yes, it's not pretty, but you can hack anything into it really quickly. The fact that it's so 'informal' is the reason why it works so well imo.

    In my own experience, it's just as fast if not a tiny bit faster, but what it's _really_ good at is customisability. With sublime I tried once to write a small plugin for gofmt and…
