I was looking at South Africa's biggest annual developer survey today, and lo and behold some are using it for coding work.

I would assume it's people who pay for Twitter pro or whatever it's called getting Grok as part of the bundle and not wanting to sign up for another subscription.

Although I think "pure" is alright to use in this context, I would probably have gone with "beautifully simple".

I'm from SA and I knew about IBM and the Holocaust, but not Apartheid. Thanks for putting me onto that.

I heard a very small one somewhere that really isn't meant to get them, through a TV show in earbuds. Perhaps the volume has something to do with what's happening beneath the surface vs magnitude? In our case, as far as I know, the epicentre was a ~5h drive away (and out at sea), but it sounded about the same as loud subs at a concert to me.

Blanking on a source right now, but I recall reading about a study on the 'oldness' of languages and found that the unique sort of phonetics in !Kung and other Khoe or San languages appeared to reduce over time, and simpler hard consonants would emerge in their place - implying that they are indeed some of the oldest languages still around.

Interstingly, there are a number of words from these languages that are still widely used in South African slang: Dagga for Marijuana, Eina for "Ouch!", Gogga for Bug or Insect, and Kerrie for Stick, usually used as the neologism Knobkerrie. Very possibly some of the oldest slang in the world!

Spent a few months writing a pretty hefty Cqrs app in Go last year, had a fun but pretty unintuitive experience with rustlingss, and V really does seem like a cool in between! I look forward to taking it for a spin

Super cool! Fun, useful and slightly cursed indeed

I had always assumed it was due to Brendan Eich being the face of the project. Or the built-in adblocking. It's my preference for these reasons as a chromium default - I don't know anyone using Brave who touches the crypto stuff.

maybe give it another shot? I wasn't able to replicate the issue but haven't seen anyone else have it

yeah this is what I was referring to, thanks

This is very cool, hadn't heard of it before. Thanks.

Glad you're enjoying it, always open to nitpicky feedback. I'll put all of these suggestions on the backlog and see how they play together - thanks!
