Janet was the first Lisp that made sense to me. Its simplicity is what helped make it 'click' in my mind. It's nice to see my sentiment towards Janet echoed here.

The basic, starter-level equipment in order to do this is very easy to obtain. You should be able to find a unit that will convert component and/or S-Video into a digital signal for very cheap.

Because Lemmy does not replace Reddit for me -- but rather, it's a different thing altogether.

Oh this could be a lot of fun! The game is charming, at the very least. I'm kinda excited!

The Not Just Bikes guy absolutely understands that the need for most cars disappears once city planning is done properly. The whole message, the very thesis of his entire YouTube channel is all about exactly this. His series on Strong Towns is a good example of this.

He knows what the important issues are. This is just one video where he demonstrates in detail that the detrimental design of SUVs in the US is just one part of the overall picture. That's why the video matters! The planning of cities is, among other things, tied to the willingness to accommodate huge, wasteful vehicles.

The sheer fact that he is calling out this trend -- his willingness to point fingers at the auto industry for manufacturing a nationwide desire (or a misguided "need") for bigger, heavier vehicles -- that's what makes it NOT an American perspective.

Truthfully, I've not tried them.

I was about to make a comment along the lines of "I've already learned how to do command line things, my OS already comes with a few shells, why SHOULD I take the time to learn a new shell?"

but then I reflected on this and realized something: it's the same thing as saying "Windows comes with Explorer/Edge, why SHOULD I go through the trouble to pick up a new web browser?" And yet, I unquestioningly download Firefox first thing when I install a new OS, hmm.

You've made me think :]

Maybe one day I will actually understand the appeal of all these super fancy shells. They seem kinda cool on the surface but I also feel like I'd never use any of their actual features.

Great article. Tying it to notions of public health is a good step forward in advancing the conversation we should be having about the centrality of cars.

I liked the the "Motor transport form" juxtaposed against the "Non-motor transport form" questionnaire -- in particular, asking"If somebody leaves their car in the street and it gets stolen" versus "If somebody leaves their belongings in the street and it gets stolen" has me thinking.

awk is wonderful! You can do some very incredible things with it.

Is the AI making "Very Dumb Errors" really the problem, or is it the fact that people thought it was a good idea to let a computer program write articles for them and then publish them in the first place.

Mmmpf, tar czf archive.tar.xz directory is Just Wrong to me. The "z" means gzip! Use "J" if you meant to use xz compression!
