- sayrerYes, can't have .unwrap() in production code (it's ok in tests)
- Haha: Can't find a good Windows laptop.
It's true, most of them are bad. Galaxy Book5 Pro or Microsoft Surface are OK.
- Yeah, "coq" is a grade school joke in French class. It just means "rooster" or something in French, but it sounds ridiculous in English. This one has the same problem.
A company with that in the name made the French national team jersey for a while.

It's Nike now, but it still has a rooster on it.
- It is striking that it sounds like Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)
- They used to! Anyway, Iceland is really easy to travel to. Everyone speaks perfect English, and the coffee is good. I know a little bit of Icelandic because they think I am Icelandic for some reason (I can read the signs at least, so maybe I don't look lost). There's a street with hot dog stands and stuff right in the middle of the capitol, which they seem to like. There are good hamburger places too, but they are expensive.
Greenland is another level.
- No kidding. It is /so/ fast. It has remote development like VS Code, and most of the features I use, so it's my main thing now. Claude Code was the only thing that made me wince, since I wondered if I was living in the dark ages. VS Code of course has many more extensions, but I don't use that many.
- A lot of them use G or F because that is the biggest bass note you can get in a club system.
- Yep. You can see it on the map in the Museo Nacional de Antropología. El periférico ("the ring highway") and other major roads follow the old causeways. I have been there many times in my life, maybe 30 or 40.
- They are using the wrong tactics. They should use the "Kleenex" argument and say it's generic. But what do I know.
- oh, it is "declaration", yes, but not South America. this guy is even on Amazon:

- Yes, that seems right. Not that difficult. This one suffers from some poor penmanship, though.
- It helps to avoid timezone details within a day or two. I agree "a month ago" is pretty bad, but I haven't seen that.
But it's good to say "1hr ago" if I send an email from New York to San Francisco.
- Oxide computer has a really interesting one. This probably hits all of the big points: https://oxide.computer/podcasts/oxide-and-friends/1272104
- I think it's because you have to think it through when they get too big for one machine. A lot of those so-called "NoSQL" databases are really meant to represent graph databases (think DynamoDB) in an adjacency list. I've had success with Gremlin and JanusGraph, but it's a really messy space. It's not a programming language problem in my opinion, but a distributed systems one.
- I sent a correction once, and they did indeed fix it after a couple of weeks. I only knew it was wrong because I had studied the area in non-interactive maps ahead of time.
- I read this comment because I saw some other moderation duty comments and looked at your history. I don't think you should use the word "thither" for transactional comments. It is correct here, I think, but it's somewhat archaic English.
Maybe "over there" or "to that one"? Your way is not wrong, but many will miss the point.
- Oh, interesting. I'd probably never use something like Nolly. So, out of my range. I do use the synth stuff, and I can get the Intel mini to like 50% with some effort, but it's never been a real problem.
The SSD matters for picking the sounds, in my experience. So you're going through listening to a bunch of drum hits, for example. If the drive is slow, this stalls.
Plus, isn't he simultaneously playing 70+ tracks with a CPU-intensive filter on each one? That's not a realistic workload.
- Surprising, but you really don't even need an M1 for those programs. You want fast external SSDs, though. I use the last Intel Mac mini for audio things, and it's fine.
- It is the English term. It collapses the definite article into one word: "the Port" -> "o Porto".
Nothing modern uses this name anymore, though. I always see "Porto", even in American English.
But, it's a recent enough fix that you can still find signs of it. For example, you can book a flight to "Porto (OPO)". Just like you can book a flight to "Beijing (PEK)".
- If you look at the history there, you'll see "naranj" in the Arabic. This is still the word in Spanish: Naranja (البرتقالي).
The wikipedia article is pretty good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(fruit)
That article says sweet oranges originated from China or Myanmar, and made their way west. Introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the people then called the "Moors".
