Option-Shift-Hyphen.

Just --- only works when you have the text replacement thing on (the same thing that turns (C) into ©).

That sample was complete though as long as there wasn't too many tweets. I.e, as long as your query was specific enough, you _did_ get all tweets.

Firefox still exists.

Why does it have to have a chat interface? What's wrong with entering airports in different fields? I'm not convinced it's needed for a "routine trip" feature, you could just have some sort of bookmark feature..

You uninstall all snaps, uninstall snapd, and block it from being installed via APT.

Then you add e.g. the mozilla PPA such that its firefox package gets installed instead.

You can do that if you want to. It'll just be slower.

While true, that is true for everyone, there's no special law about police.

Nitpick, but:

> At its core, a file descriptor (often abbreviated as fd) is simply a positive integer

A _non-negative_ integer.

Yeah, I think most elephants don't have a good sense of _any_ man-made unit.

It really is, in-universe. Almost noone knows this save other maiar. The wizards are perceived as men by most people, them being maiar is far from common knowledge.

As a Mac user, your best bet is probably X-Plane. There's only a few short tutorials, but given your history you should have no issues :)

Well in a sense you are right that it is lazy, in that it would be quite a lot of work to disentangle those parts.

So they could probably do it, but it would be costly, while just releasing the TF2 code is basically free.

Only technically.

By that name, yes, but much of Markdown was "discovered" rather than invented, having been used in email/newsgroups/... for a long time.

The point they're trying to make, I think, is: Black/Ruff format, or any other formatter necessarily need to operate on universal rules. In context, sometimes these rules don't make sense. I still would love some kind of stateful linter and formatter, where it suggests me changes that I can then accept or ignore (and won't be told about again).

Formatters _are_ a compromise. They make your coworkers' code nicer, and your code worse.

At the very least they could trigger a real qualified human review of it immediately.
