Why the fuck would a cop do this??

Oh, Florida. That checks out.

It's a three ton steel knife that does zero to sixty in three seconds, it's literally designed to shred human bodies.

Mariah just wants walkable cities and reliable public transportation. I can get behind that.

I dunno, Nestle owns basically the who's-who of terrible processed food and snack brands. Avoiding them isn't just good activism, it's good for your health, too.

More old trivia is that the original OK Cupid system was written in C, including the actual web server that served the pages. They wrote it in C so that the matching thing could run real-time, which is super impressive, even if writing your own web server is actually pretty dumb.

I loved the days when people just wanted to make fun, useful, quirky stuff on the internet and not just peddle thirst traps and Chinese merchandise.

No, you really can't.

I mean, in fairness, "vegetable" isn't a scientific term at all, so whether potatoes are vegetables (or tubers, or roots, or something else) is totally up for debate.

But they're a hell of a lot more of a vegetable than pizza is!

Bram was notoriously possessive of the Vim project and consistently avoided bringing in other lead maintainers or adding widely demanded features (like async processing). Maybe that changed while I wasn't paying attention, but it had a lot to do with the very successful neovim fork. Bram eventually added an async feature but not before neovim exploded in popularity.

It's tragic to hear of Bram's passing, and at such a young age. I will be interested to see what happens to the Vim project now, in his absence.

Jehova's witnesses aren't allowed to wear yellow come on. They can wear any other color though as long as it's black or white.

I'm happy to see Inkscape continue to get big updates!

I recently got a pen plotter and Inkscape is the main way anyone feeds drawings into these things so it's good to know it's being looked after.
