I have also noticed is a kind of ironic use of "it turns out" for presenting personal experiences as being significant discoveries in the world at large.

"To the disappointment of my Asian parents, it turned out I hadn't shipped with the firmware needed to support violin playing."

If that turns out to be recent trend in rhetoric, that is mildly surprising.

When people make ironic uses of some rhetorical device, it inevitably happens that a number of people don't get the humor and start using it unironically, like that's the correct, casual thing to use for that situation.

I don't mind talking to a chatbot if solves problems and doesn't go in circles.

Don't make me talk to a chatbot while there is zero forward progress in solving the problem.

People prefer a pricing model in which support appears free. Free support (that is good) creates the sense that the company stands behind the product and service, and leads to good reviews, so it is a win/win.

Fellow Vancouverites: what ... fall back ... strategy are you planning on executing, as an alternative? :)

> Residents will have eight months to prepare for Nov. 1, 2026, when the clocks would have been turned back one hour, but will now remain the same.

That's an odd read. Residents have eight months to prepare for an event already known to be nonexistent: a non-happening.

I think this means preparing for BC to go out of sync with the US states we normally sync to (Washington, Oregon, California).

However, there is some hope I've heard expressed that this may push one or more of those states to make the switch as well. Unlikely, but hey, a lot can happen in eight months (as this year is already proving).

US states cannot, under current federal law, go permanent daylight time (they can go permanent standard time, though), and they can't unilaterally make the latter have the same effect as the former by simultaneously switching time zones because they can't switch timezones without approval of the federal Department of Transportation. I don't see the current federal government making special accommodation for California, Oregon, or Washington on, well, anything in the next eight months, so...

I actually agree on how unlikely it is but the wildcard is Trump. I mean, he is the kind of guy who just goes with his gut and he has already publicly supported getting rid of the time change, calling it a "50-50 issue" (on which to go with, standard or savings).

The worse case is he pushes a federal change to standard time, in which case I suspect BC would have to go along.

Idiots; of course the language that the 𒀯 compiler should be in had better be 𒀯, or else it is a toy language.

> The literature is clear that repeated, hands-on practice is really the only way to build skills.

The centuries of literature we have on this contrasts hands-on practice with theory: not actually doing the thing, but studying how other people do it, in order to gain knowledge that will be helpful when you get your hands into it.

This is different: this is like having a slave do it for you.

We know from history that the slave owners didn't know how to do the work. E.g. kings and feudal lords didn't know how to herd animals or raise grains, etc.

Where are you measuring the keypress from? The nerve signal to your finger muscles?> Or the time the keycap hits bottom? What if the switch closes before the cap hits bottom: then we are getting a latency figure that looks better than it really is.

I've had a keyboard like that and with it, xterm (and nothing else) felt like it was displaying the characters even slightly before I had pressed them. It was a weird sensation (but good)

Yes, I know this feeling, it's like typing on air. The Windows Terminal has this same feeling. 8 years ago I opened this issue https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/327 and the creators of the tool explained how they do it.

xterm in X11 has this feeling, ghostty does not. It's like being stuck in mud but it's not just ghostty, all GPU accelerated terminals on Linux I tried have this muddy feel. It's interesting because moving windows around feels really smooth (much smoother than X11).

I wish this topic was investigated in more depth because inputting text is an important part of a terminal. If anyone wants to experience this with Wayland, try not booting into your desktop environment straight into a tty and then type. xterm in X11 and the Windows Terminal feel like this.

Nerve signals yes. I just try them side by side, usually running vim on both terminals and measuring how it feels. If you can feel difference, the latency is bad.
