Your “proof” is that there isn’t a position that will win approval with everyone?

That, and Troy McClure’s house. 😄

June in London looks pretty atypical.

This would be better with a more accurate projection, like Dymaxion. That black area is so much bigger than it looks here.

You get used to it sooner than you’d think. There are libraries to convert between regex and English. Maybe it deserves a Unicode code block like APL?

Not something I’ve encountered.

Wait until you see what they do to avoid learning SQL or Regex or JSON Pointer or XPath.

I use them fine with my left hand. There’s no reason to stay on home row if you’re doing a lot of copy and paste. Of course, if you’re doing that much copy and paste, using an extension that allows VIM shortcuts would be much faster.

If you don’t like BÉPO because you want familiar letter-based clipboard shortcuts, you’ve already made a better layout selection impossible. I learned to use the older clipboard shortcuts: ctrl+ins for copy, shift+ins for paste, and shift+del for cut. Those are still as universally supported.

This thread makes me wonder how much contemporary American English is to blame for people being able to exploit ambiguities surreptitiously. Dog whistles have to start somewhere, they don’t seem to be prearranged.

I think the rationale is that, when it’s a single individual, they can’t pass the buck or blame the group. It’s a final appeal at a human level.

The trick is not electing a troll.

Yes, and if that’s the only issue that matters to you, and you ignore the impact on all those other people, I guess that’s fair to say they are the same. But does all that extra suffering serve a purpose? Are you volunteering yourself to bear any of it, or only others?
