My college dorm was like this. Every bathroom was ungendered. The stalls weren't fully floor to ceiling, but were slightly better than the average public bathroom. 99% of people got over it after a little culture shock at the very beginning (maybe 2-3 days).

There was still one women-only bathroom in my building; I believe it was for a few students who asked for religious consideration. No biggie though for almost every student.

It only led to one embarrassing moment for me: I (a guy) was singing Frank Ocean at the top of my lungs while showering. When I came out of the shower a girl was brushing her teeth and made eye contact with me and kind of snickered/giggled. Racewalked back to my room 💀

I went to a trivia night at a local bar with a guy from high school and his family. We were in contention for the top. The whole night I was useless, since most of the questions were about European sports legends or actors or singers from the 20th century. The guy starts feeling up the last question:

"This is a tricky one and one of my favorites. Going to the realm of technology... What is the name for a unit of measurement, named after a Disney character, which is related to how far your mouse moves?"

The whole family looks at me, cause I'm known to be a tech guy.

Complete blank. Flustered. Uhhh uhmmm it's called DPI? Pointer speed?? Is there a Disney character called Peter Pointer?...

We lost. They were disappointed, but not as disappointed as I was in myself.

Went up to the trivia guy at the end to ask him to show his sources. He pulled up a legit looking wikipedia article so I accepted my defeat.

I think neovim with kickstart has out-of-the-box support for go, or if not, should be configurable with two added lines (add the treesitter parser and LSP). Unlike nvchad and lunarvim and stuff, this is not a "distribution" of neovim but a good starting point for a config that makes it easy to slowly learn how to add stuff and change stuff as you see fit.

At the beginning, you can add languages that you need support for pretty easily by adding to a list of LSPs and Treesitter parsers that should be installed; later on you can start adding and configuring plugins as you wish.

I'd say it sets you up about the same level as Helix or a little less than VSCode.

Sequel to cocaine bear looking good

Why? The quotes will be consumed by the shell when you execute the command, unless you do like "'{}'"

Look, Raymond: a yellow-crested warbler.

Saving money/space on building the parking and increased pool of potential workers seem like the two arguments that are written in the language that corporations speak. Not sure how effective they will be, but they're the most likely to work out of the ones you posted. Good luck!

My solution for this has been on my Linux machine, using keyd, to swap alt and super, and map super+c, super+v to copy and paste. (I also map super+L, super+R, super+T and super+W in Firefox to the control- equivalents using keyd's per-application bindings functionality)

Switching it at the terminal emulator level should work fine for every CLI/TUI though, right? Just have your terminal send 0x03 when you press C-S-c and copy selected text on C-c. I haven't tested it but I'm sure that alacritty, wezterm, windows terminal and probably tmux can do this.

My favorite song by BTS is probably Spring Day (although I'm not really a massive kpop listener)

you can make it sort the first k elements and it will still be O(1). Set k high enough and it might even be useful

You don't need the and right? Can't it just be return a or b

This doesn't work if a is falsy non-null actually

I used boba u4 silents on my custom keyboard. Absolutely love them. Wish they made a consumer-grade keyboard with them (or maybe they already do?) But I've been working on a MacBook recently and tbh the keyboard there is pretty good now. So next step for me is to build a low profile keyboard

On my colemak keyboard I put arrow keys on another layer under where hjkl are on qwerty. Beyond that, most of the keys are remembered by mnemonic rather than position imo

Last one is the derivation of the quadratic formula by completing the square

If this is about line endings, surely a simple shell or python script could correct them?

I love the idea of using multiple font faces at the same time while looking at code. I wonder if (hope?) terminals will one day soon support switching fonts with control sequences.... Would be pretty awesome!

It looks like it's not an actual height difference, but the smaller width makes the second i look significantly smaller than the first, also implying a lower height.

Where is this? Naan looks good!
