In Belgium, I pay 4.5 eur as an adult to use any of the numerous swimming pools around me. Also, I never had to show my ID once in my lifetime to enter said pools. My kids are perfectly afloat and learned to swim with their school by going to the pool every week.

The general idea is that you would type something like :e' to type out é. This allows you to use a single keyboard layout across languages.

It's more about travel distance from your home row. Adding more modifiers or having vim like modes baked in your keyboard help filling the gap.

I still follow my past team definition of a good commit : the commit message should answer in it's first line why this commit was done. Overtime I realized that when I git blame I never care what a commit does because this is always obvious by reading the code of the commit. The reason why, however, is most of the time not obvious at all.

The pedestrian was already engaging on the crosswalk and would have required the car to stop too.

I've been thinking about live coding on twitch but having to think about not revealing any sensitive information would make it a hassle. I will give it a try for some side projects.

It's also on android and this is basically the same but easier.
