> The former have been table stakes for interpreted languages

I used to think so too back in the day when I was getting into Clojure. It was much later when I realized that when Lisp people talk about the REPL they’re usually talking not so much about the interactive CLI where you can evaluate commands easily but more so the ability to connect your program to a live session where you can quickly evaluate forms within your text editor and in the context of your running application, which enables much more interactive development than in other interpreted languages.

I’ll try to take your comment in good faith. And of course - that’s the trouble with issues like these isn’t it? I did find some reports online of the same but when there’s no consistent way of making it happen, there’s no simple solution either.

I ran it with no extensions and out of the other chromium-based browsers I’ve tried it’s the only one where I’ve had crash issues.

I actively used Vivaldi for several months until recently - on my Mac it would intermittently crash for no reason I could find. I’ve since switched to ungoogled-chromium - it’s only a couple of weeks so it’s early days but so far it’s been very stable.

New York, US only - can the title be updated to reflect that?

It’s just another word for a group, same as people.

Personally, I’ve spent a lot of time on both film and digital and currently I’m a lot happier with the results of my film work. Is it a combination of the camera, lens, medium, and process? I’m sure it is. Could I get similar artifacts out of digital? Probably but the key difference is that I don’t and the medium for me doesn’t make me want to. In the end creative work like photography has as many manifestations as people and your comment reads as rather dismissive than curious.

> No keyboard backlighting

When was the last time Apple had a laptop without keyboard lighting?

A long time ago I made a smart home automation web page for my Kindle, so that should definitely work.

Tipping culture has been around in Germany for a long time, hasn’t it? It’s surprisingly common there

I agree with this. I was curious and tried it out just now - there's a good part of the inside corner that is draggable and a decent amount outside as well. The cursor changes to indicate resizability make it quite difficult for me to make a mistake here.

Creating calendar events and reminders too!

A feature set that has remained unchanged since Siri’s launch…

Why would checking be duplicated? One would need to check only the discussions in this case, since issues will be created from discussions once something is ready to be worked on (as I understood it)

> unless their parents decide otherwise

is a key point I’d say.

> keeping screen on

`caffeinate -d` in the terminal - it’s built-in
