But… How do you even know you can smell ants? Why did you try it? Or can you smell them from meters away?

I might be wrong but I assumed it’s perfectly obvious to OP and it’s the kind of joke where something is funny because you stretch the meaning to read it literally. I chuckled actually, despite it making perfect sense.

Of course, but when indentation has a syntactic meaning the formatter often won’t be able to fix it.

It’s probably more prone to mistakes like that, true. But in practice I really never witnessed this actually being a problem. Especially with tests and review.

Yeah, that’s definitely a good point. But it’s a minor thing. Adjusting indentation takes 2 keystrokes in vim, I barely notice it.

So I’m going to say what I always say when people complain about semantic whitespace: Your code should be properly indented anyway. If it’s not, it’s a bad code.

I’m not saying semantic whitespace is superior to brackets or parentheses. It’s clearly not. But it’s not terrible either.

As someone who codes in Python pretty much everyday for years, I NEVER see indentation errors. I didn’t see them back when I started either. Code without indentation is impossible to read for me anyway so it makes zero difference whether the whitespace has semantic meaning or not. It will be there either way.

I’m so excited for Cosmic!

So, your original comment sounded very relatable and I never heard about an AQ test before. Just took one and got 34. Well…

(For the unfamiliar: 34 out of 50, over 32 means you should probably go and get a real diagnosis.)

The article is very interesting but the fake cursors are infuriating and make it nearly impossible to focus on the content. It’s a clever joke but without a way to disable it, the author is just sabotaging his own content.

But Nothing Phone isn’t a Pixel, is it? Yeah, I think it’s probably closer to the Pixel’s clean software experience than Samsung’s bloated one, but still, this doesn’t seem to be fair comparison.

In case anyone is curious (like I was) what the “gold foil wrap” actually is, here you go:

Multi-layer Insulation, or simply MLI, is a type of high-performance insulator that uses multiple radiation-heat transfer barriers to restrict the flow of (heat) energy. In simple terms, it’s a form of thermal insulation made of multiple layers of thin sheets that is used to cover spacecraft and other space equipment in order to reduce heat loss by way of thermal radiation.

This is really interesting and I would probably never read it if not for this post. Thanks!

I used Samsung until about a year ago and now use Pixel since that time. Pixel software experience is infinitely better for my tastes and needs.

I mean, ok, you do you. There’s a huge amount of people (me included) who find paying with their phone extremely convenient.

Also, this article is about giving users more choice, not forcing anyone to use a wallet app.

I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I love it. I like it more than any app I could find on the Play Store and the fact that it’s open source is an awesome cherry on top.

Huge thanks to Vaxry and all contributors, Hyprland is great!

Man, I’m just chilling and relaxing after a week of SE work and this resonates with me very deeply

I didn’t expect this to be something I would actually use but I was mildly excited to try it out just out of curiosity. Then it asked me to log in. Login to a fucking terminal emulator. I have no words.

I’m very excited for COSMIC!

Good job Cosmic team!

I really hope Cosmic can be the first DE to close the gap between tilling window managers and DEs we have today. Very excited for it!
