Thanks for explaining it, not sure why you’ve collected those downvotes.

Deebster,
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Yeah, it’s probably shooting the messenger. Reminds me of once on Reddit where someone had asked a similar question and I’d replied with a sourced quote from the dictionary and got complaining replies and downvotes.

Do you also attack dictionaries for explaining offensive words? The person I’m talking to never used the term, they merely explained the meaning behind the number.

What you are doing is shooting the messenger. Please target your outrage more carefully in future.

I missed the news that K-9 was becoming Thunderbird for Android. I used to use it before switching to FairEmail, I think because development had stalled. It’s a solid choice, hopefully they don’t add too much in like they have with the desktop version.

What’s this kind of thing called in linguistics? Where you parse the sentence wrong (for comedic effect in this case), something about dangling modifiers, maybe?

Belgian, Dutch university students join pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protests (www.timesofisrael.com)

AMSTERDAM/BRUSSELS — Students in the Netherlands and Belgium occupied parts of the universities of Amsterdam and Ghent on Monday to protest against Israel’s war against Hamas, joining international student protests inspired by those on US campuses....

I am pro both existing side by side, which is pro-Palestine and pro-Israel. Are you calling the many Israelis who would like to peacefully co-exist anti-Israel?

Deebster,
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

I disagree that being in favour of something means you agree with everything they do, but for the record, I’ve been to Palestine several times and I didn’t liked what Israel was doing back then, let alone the current disgusting atrocities that Netanyahu’s currently perpetuating.

Really I was arguing with the “anti-Israel” part, since I don’t think that’s merely interpreted as meaning you’re not in favour of Israeli policy. I was attempting to agree with the top of the thread’s implication that “anti-Israel” feels like it’s been used as a short step away from “antisemitic”, which Israel has a long history of using in the face of any criticism.

CNLabelContactRelationYoungerCousinMothersSiblingsSonOrFathersSistersSon

The label for the contact’s mother’s sibling’s younger son or father’s sister’s younger son.

I thought it was just a male cousin, but it doesn’t include a cousin who’s your uncle’s son. Which culture needs this?

Maybe his analysis considered this, but the article doesn’t mention real-world factors like the climate crisis, the cost of living crisis, and what feels like the resurgence of fascism and the spectre of World War 3. It’s noted that liberal families seem more susceptible - perhaps it’s because right-wing families are more likely to believe these things aren’t real, or aren’t a problem?

The country

Which country?

aluminum

Never mind.

actually...I’ve just checked fact-checked myself and apparently Canada also says aluminum but 🤷

My absolute favourite is when the examples say something like “production code should not be written like this, this is just for clarity” with no indication of what’s wrong with the code.

Is it just normal Rust stuff like there’s unwraps everywhere and it’s one big file? Does the example have security or performance problems? Is the example unidiomatic or over-verbose or is it ignoring features real-world code would use? EXPLAIN YOURSELF!

Those photos really sell the value of those satellites. It seems ridiculous that we don’t have replacements up there given how many launches there’s been in recent years.

You’re missing Windows 2000, but I guess you can argue that’s Windows NT not mainline Windows. That was definitely in the good camp, and I was not alone in sticking with it for many years (until XP got good).

Edit: I see @NickwithaC beat me to this point.

Edit: I was describing Voyager, not Thunder.

Yes! It’s in a weird place, though.

Set this to Android. It says it’s a beta option, but I’ve not had any problems.

This setting was very welcome to me, since I was forever triggering back when I meant to upvote a comment.

Deebster,
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Oops, you’re right, sorry. I used to use Thunder and got mixed up.

I can’t see how to do it in Thunder 0.3.0, although it’s way less easy to do accidentally, at least. I see version 0.4.0 is on its way but I don’t see any mention of what you want there either.

Question on Logseq advanced query. Can anybody help here? 😩

https://discuss.logseq.com/t/advanced-query-for-pages-that-are-only-referenced-in-certain-pages/26803

I’m no expert in advanced queries, but just to note that you could make things simpler (well, shorter at least) by using a regex to handle all those starts-with lines.

This selects all pages that don’t start with 0-9 or @:


<span style="color:#323232;">#+BEGIN_QUERY
</span><span style="color:#323232;">{
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  :title [:h2 "Query Results"]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  :query [
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    :find (pull ?p [</span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">*</span><span style="color:#323232;">])
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    :where
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    [?p :page/name ?page_name]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    [(</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">re-pattern </span><span style="color:#183691;">"^[^0-9@].*"</span><span style="color:#323232;">) ?regex]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    [(</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">re-matches </span><span style="color:#323232;">?regex ?page_name)]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  ]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#+END_QUERY
</span>

You could also extend the regex to handle the “includes _ or -” bit too:


<span style="color:#323232;">    [(</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">re-pattern </span><span style="color:#183691;">"^[^0-9@_-][^_-]*"</span><span style="color:#323232;">) ?regex]
</span>

@weiming looks good! I am fluent in regex and SQL and I know some Clojure, but these datalog queries are still a bit of mystery to me… that’s the thing I need to visualise!

<span style="color:#323232;">function delete-branches() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  git branch |
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    grep --invert-match '*' |
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    cut -c 3- |
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    fzf --multi --preview="git log {} --" |
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    xargs --no-run-if-empty git branch --delete --force
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

This is really slick.

Yup, I noticed that no-Helix-inside-Helix comment too, but I don’t use my git tools to edit files anyway. I often stage only certain lines, so doing that interactively is 90% of why I’d use similar tools.

Deebster,
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

I just now noticed it was gone. Did it just vanish one day, or did its users at least have some hint?

Compare to MessagePack’s example from their front page:

It answers 90% of my questions in a quick example.
