For a more user friendly tiling desktop environment, you should have a look at COSMIC. It is still im alpha, but I use it as a daily driver…

No, but the process to identify the ones that work is all part of the modern medicine. Before that, placebo and lack of scientific methods made it impossible to separate a working substance from snake oil.

Yes, historical medicin was so good, lets work our ass off to recreate it…

Are you saying that it is common that people use utf8 characters that you cannot easily type on a standard keyboard? I’m very skeptical of this claim.

Good to know that every time I feel the need to use ALGOL 68, I must remember to disable ligatures. Still not sure this is going to be a huge problem 😂

Well, that was something… I have used ligatures in my code editor for quite a few years now, and I have NEVER been confused about the ambiguity this person is so upset about. Why? I have never ever seen the Unicode character for not equals in a code block, simply since it is not a valid character in any known language. In fact, I have never even seen it in a String where it actually would be legal, probably since nobody knows how to type that using a standard keyboard. This whole article felt like someone with a severe diagnose have locked in on some hypothetical correctness issue, that simply isn’t a problem in the real world.

But, if you for some reason find ligatures confusing, then you shouldn’t use them. But, just to be clear, there is not a right of wrong like this blog post tries to argue, it is a matter of personal taste.

Splits, ligatures tabs and more

Cosmic term is nice. Still just alpha, so there are rough edges though.

Have he said something even close to the stupidity of Trump? Like suggesting bleach against Covid? Why should all Trump opponents be measured with a different scale then Trump. Could you imagine the number of headlines required if Trump would get a headline every time he does anything on this scale?

Well, not sure an inflation, twice the size of the GDP is positive for a country…

My company actually used a whiteboard instead of a DNS for our internal network. We used it as a temp solution during setup, then 5 years later it was still in use. It worked quite well.
