Those are the little water goblins stealing your moisture while nobody’s looking.
In other words: a[b] is just sy tax sugar for *(a+b)
Subscript operator (in C) is just syntac sugar. i[0] fails because you’re dereferencing an integer not because the operator isn’t defined. (also, arrays are just pointers)

I mean, the cold milk will stay plenty cold (maybe it helps that I use a cup)
if you set it up (put it in a cup) then have the rest of your breakfast first and then have it last, that’s usually enough time for the coffee to dissolve. (Or if you prepare before taking your morning shower)
“Gender is cringe and we should get rid of it”
On a more serious note: I do not think that groups that define themselves in terms of exclusion are very good long-term. And neither do I think that issues of social inequality or discrimination are solved through segregation.
Especially when it comes to gender we see huge cultural divides and I think we’d have a lot healthier a society if we could share more understanding.
In particular I don’t think that exclusion based on gender or sex characteristics can build a healthy community. Not an egalitarian at least.
The same way that white-exclusive or black-exclusive groups would be pretty corrosive to a society where people of either skin colour coexist.
Furthermore I’d argue that this kind of strict segregation of people along gender lines into specific roles and social groups is how a lot of sexism is (historically and contemporarily) maintained.
I firmly believe that the only way to achieve the society we want, is to live it. How are we going to have temporary measures now but trust me, in the far future we’ll fix this (if the measures are not temporary you’re just engaging in principled discrimination imo) if we want a more equal society we should live it, fight for it, be the more equal society.
I want a more equal society.
It dissolves alright. Some stirring, some waiting
I do this every day… It’s nice. More milk in my coffee.
so true
Sponsorblock go brrr


GPL or GTFO! On a more serious note: Permissive licenses open a project up to unilateral exploitation by commercial entities and can lead to fractured ecosystems.
On a more principled note: permissive licenses (as compared to free software licenses) undermine the free software ecosystem and the freedoms it brings in the long term and the thing that uutils is doing - that is taking a GPL licensed project and rewriting it under a more permissive license is corrosive to free software. GPL applies not when corporations use a piece of software, but when they distribute binaries back to you. This is not about limiting the rights of corporations but about protecting the digital freedom of people.
I checked it out for fun some time ago. I really appreciated how unmonetized and not emotionally manipulative it was. There’s like no people on there though.
Vim9-script is a bespoke DSL introduced in vim 9 which was to replace vimscript (the old config language) It was recieved as a bit wacky with its support for classes among other things.
