To get the unicode codepoint. For example, you need this when you want to render a character, or convert it to another representation.

A huge number of journalists is being arrested in Turkey. Turks who say bad things about Erdogan and/or Turkey on social media often get arrested.

True, but is also a public secret that people who vote against Erdogan are being threatened.

Only in America

No, if you want to use Vim then use Vim."

The things that are priorities in the USA have always puzzled me. Students pay an absolutely insane amount of money for an education that is very mediocre. It is clear that the American education is failing. About half of the population voted for a man who does not believe in science. But somehow, the main priorities for universities seems to be enforcing diversity and gender-neutral pronouns?

I am not saying that thinking about this is wrong, there is just a deep disconnect with the realities that people live in, and many people seem to have a problem viewing things from another perspective.

That is absolutely false. Since I have my computer science/math degree my linkedin inbox has been flooded with messages from recruiters. I can guarantee you that they are not looking for an English major.

> PulseAudio also didn't do bugfix-only releases, you either backported or waited for the next major release and hoped it didn't break anything else.

Haha, that is ridiculous!

Sometimes you just have to bicycle close to cars. Even if you take the effort to see inside parked cars (it is probably better to just watch the road), it is simply impossible to evade suddenly opening car doors if they are opened at just the wrong time.

Its a bit like saying that cyclists just have to avoid you if you would suddenly jump on the biking line.

I am quite surprised that PulseAudio has a bad reputation. I couldn't get ALSA working on Arch Linux, and simply installing PulseAudio resolved all my issues.

From the sentiment here I get the feeling that it might stop working any moment.
