Case insensitive is more intuitive

Are these the same filename?

  • ΑΓΑΘΉ.txt
  • αγαθή.txt

What about these?

  • MY-NOTES-ON-Δ.txt
  • μυ-notes-on-δ.txt

Databases have different case-insensitive collations - these control what letters are equivalent to each other. The fact that there's multiple options should tell you that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to case insensitivity.

This issue is only simple and obvious if you don't know enough about it.

It is a map, though, unlike OP's image!

Sad because the UK's quite small/unsunny and that means most other countries aren't doing much?

I thought that the UK was quite strong in wind, so it'd be interesting to see that charted.

[MIT] does not allow removing the original license and purport that the code was created by someone else.

Sounds like it wouldn't matter which licence he used. Shitty behaviour from Microsoft.

I love how short this article is; it's really respectful of the reader's time.

Forgejo v11.0 is availablet ?

[–] Deebster@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

I'm not sure about the exact setup (default or yours), but is it possible that there's a prettifier that's responsible?

Not quite what you were asking for, but there is https://tomgroenwoldt.github.io/helix-shortcut-quiz/

It's quite good for letting you know about things you didn't know you could do, but sometimes it tells me I'm wrong because I'd do it a different way - e.g. I'd go to line 13 by :13 but it wants 13G.

Also, from within Helix you can do space ? to get the list of commands and any bindings they're on.

edit: also, FYI Helix and similar are modal, not modular (although there is a plugin system on the way).

Still interesting, though. I looked for any more up-to-date news and didn't find any articles, although the ISP's site says they're expanding in 2025.

I have Tasker running, and you can set it up to do this too. Between ntfy and Google's version I think I'm covered already!

Most of the manga I have is amateur translated stuff, so the metadata quality varies with release groups.

The graphic novels are generally retail releases, but sometimes I still want to edit to get rid of marketing words (e.g. the title might mention how it's now a Netflix series or something).

I guess I've just been lucky then! I've stripped DRM off everything else, so I expect theirs would come off using the same tools.

This channel is about architecture, and this video (from Nov 2023*) is about Solar Punk and covers some of the history and real-life attempts.

I was amused that shortly after talking about Solar Punk's rejection of consumerism she did the sponsor section, but that's Youtube for you.

Thank you to linguist Gretchen McCulloch for teaching me about phonetic assimilation, and for teaching me that if you stand around in public reading texts from a linguist and murmuring example phrases to yourself, people will eventually ask if you're okay.

Sorry to make you memorize this random string of digits. If it helps, it can also double as a mnemonic for remembering your young relatives' birthdays, if they happened to have been born on February 5th, 2018.

 

While curious about the Centauri accent, I found this 2001 interview with Peter Jurasik (Londo Mollari) and Wortham Krimmer (Cartagia).

http://www.earth62.net/transcripts/jurasik22feb01.htm

The quick story about the accent, if I can tell you how I patchworked it together, is I was doing a play downtown, a Tennessee Williams play, and I worked really hard on a Memphis accent. I felt like I had really nailed it. But one L.A. critic nailed me and said, "That’s a terrible Memphis accent. That doesn’t sound like a Southern accent." I was really hurt. About that time was when "The Gathering," the pilot, showed up. I called Joe and said, "What do you want me to sound like?" He said, "Let him sound like whatever you want," so I purposely took a couple of different things. There’s a character who plays the parole officer in A Clockwork Orange, the guy who’s always saying, "And night-time is the best time, um, yes?" I took my Czechoslovakian grandmother. I had spent three consecutive summers in Ireland. I didn’t always take sounds; I took rhythms. Londo had a kind of musical thing.

The whole thing's worth a read, they seemed to be having fun.

  • Chechnya officials have banned music deemed too fast or slow, restricting compositions to a tempo of 80-116 BPM.
  • Minister of Culture Musa Dadayev announced the decision at a meeting, as reported by TASS.
  • The ban affects all musical, vocal, and choreographic compositions in the Russian Republic of Chechnya.

Chechnya is a republic of Russia since losing the Second Chechen War but this means that the Russian national anthem, at just 76 BPM, is also banned.

 

This year's (belated, as is tradition) April Fool's XKCD is written in the Rapier.rs physics engine.

It's like The Incredible Machine, but each person can contribute a cell towards the larger machine.
