I vaguely remember someone doing this during a conversation in a bar in Japan years ago, and I saw it again in a manga. What does this mean, if anything? I don't remember what the conversation was about, and we were all drinking so I wouldn't trust my memory anyway
After searching online, it seems everyone knows that "たけのこニョッキ", which was a game from a TV program aired Wednesdays at 11 PM from 2003 to 2005? It's a game where several people call out numbers in order starting from 1, and if they overlap, they lose. And judging by the name, that posture is a growing bamboo shoot.
You mentioned it was a bar, and this does seem like a game suitable for a noisy bar, so it's plausible.
TL;DR: Since April 2025, The NixOS Foundation and Framework are officially partnering to improve NixOS support on Framework devices. This formalizes earlier community efforts, enabling selected community members to contribute to testing, documentation, and support for current and future hardware.
The encoding/decoding model of communication emerged in rough and general form in 1948 in Claude E.

I've been using Insomnia, but it seems they've enshittified. I started it up after an upgrade and found that Environments are now paywalled/behind an account. Is there a true open-source alternative to Postman/Insomnia anyone recommends?
My primary use case for Amber is when I need to write a Bash script but don't remember the silly syntax. My most recent Bash mistake was misusing test -n and test -z. In Amber, I can just use something == "" or len(something) == 0
Currently, Amber does not even support Bash 2 because Bash 2 does not support the += operator. (ticket) However, I believe that POSIX compliance is on Amber's long-term milestone, and that it will eventually achieve this as its support range expands.
All Korean keyboards, including the one on my LG Gram (which is a Korean model), have a dedicated key for switching between English and Korean (the "한영키"). Everyone who isn't technically inclined uses this key. Using Ctrl + Space is a bad user experience.
I assumed an ordinary person. My parents use the "한영키" to switch between Hangul and the alphabet. While I'm geeky enough to configure my Caps Lock key to function like that switch, most people wouldn't even imagine that functionality is configurable.
Mine is also a joke. KakaoTalk, the most used massenger app in South Korea does not support Linux, a Wine approch is half-broken, and a WIP reverse-engineered Typescript & Rust based open-source client is not yet fully developed and never.
I am Korean living in Korea and this is a not well-known massacre even in Korea. I just heard the public does not pay attention to this though they should. (I am the one of public)
I have edited my comment. The public should do pay attention. At least the government, politicians, or mass media should. The most famous thing from the island currently is its fruit. Thank you for sharing this link because it made me visit the article.
Japanese people, what does this pose mean, if anything?
