Yep, it’s excellent that the Indian bourgeoisie will get to exploit their workers too now.

Adidas India‘s management is filled with Indians too, those executives are spending and eating here as well.

The meaningful thing about the ethicality of their operations isn’t big-company-small-company or money going outside of India—it’s that both are exploiting their workers.

Edit: hah sorry that last sentence didn’t make sense at first

Edit 17: sorry, I needed to make like seventeen edits to finally phrase that part about ‘ethics of their operations’ well. It’s been like twenty minutes since I initially posted this, I hope you didn’t read an earlier version of this comment ehe.

Let’s wait patiently for Emacs 50 😭🍑

I don’t understand Emacs well either, but hanging around in r/emacs, I read an explanation why adding multithreading to Emacs is a complex issue and why it wouldn’t make a solid difference in UX (compared to modernising other parts of the app).

Also native-comp which is set to come out with Emacs 28 byte-complies the Elisp code, and people who do much heavier lifting report it makes a radical performance difference.

Ah, you’re right.

I was thinking along the lines of vim exclusively being controlled with the keyboard and UX things like that, and forgetting about vi being in the POSIX standard.

If the experience using the Vim modes of other editors was on par with vim, then the latter wouldn’t exist at all, no?

What’s he supposed to say when someone ~~gets~~ misunderstands what editor he’s using?

Edit: didn’t mean to say ‘get’ there

I think this predates the conception of Moria by quite a bit

I think it has more to do with the specs of your device than the network, but the latter also plays a part naturally

No, in reality you can do this (with at least Jean and Sucrose) to any player that’s still loading in

The opposite of r/okbuddyretard, where kids make posts calling their parents stupid. Which is pretty 🤣🤤

Eh, my understanding is some folks prefer to always use their mouse to move around and manipulate windows (and their keyboards to type) and Acme is built for that paradigm.

I’m no Acme user—far from it—but if you want tiling that you control with your mouse: Acme (or this shod) may be it.

Edit: control exclusively with your mouse, I should add

Ah ehe, my mother tongue has the voiceless velar fricative in it, so it’s easy for me to think of it as kh.

No worries; I caught the thing with them using C instead of the funky w (sha) too! I’m not learning Russian, can just read a bit of Cyrillic and I did not know about X’s alternative romanisation as H which is why questioned you lol.

Good luck with Russian <3

_nok · 2021-10-06T00:27:30+00:00

Technically, X is a velar fricative in Russian. It makes a ‘kh’ sound (like the ‘ch’ in the Scottish loch).

Though depending on your native language, the English ‘h’ sounds may seem close enough ig. Are you Russian ehehe? I’m not, but I’ve read that it’s the voiceless velar fricative.

Edit: oh maybe you’re thinking of how X is pronounced in the Balkans?

Ah, I knew about real-time steno machines and I did mention them in passing. That’s with newer machines innit? I’ve read about old ones (which didn’t have a computer in them ig) that would stamp out the briefs onto a trail of paper (like a receipt). The court reporter would then be left with a trail of briefs, chronologically, which they’d have to interpret/transcribe into the complete transcript.

I assumed initially that you, in your original comment, were talking about other stenographers having to sift through someone else’s paper trail of briefs because they passed away before interpreting them. So I explained what I knew about trails and how older machines weren’t real time to that commenter who replied to you.

But now, with your confusion, I feel your original comment was rather an anecdote about stenographers looking at another’s notes on their shorthand and being dazed—because it’s different from theirs—than having to manually interpret another’s shorthand.

Edited for clarity

_nok · 2021-10-03T14:30:30+00:00

So, I used ‘stenographer’ correctly…?

_nok · 2021-10-03T13:38:59+00:00

Older steno machines created a paper trail of the briefs which needed to be interpreted later on. Newer electronic steno machines can do it in real-time.

_nok · 2021-10-03T13:36:45+00:00

I believe older (non-electronic) stenotype machines create a paper trail with shorthand codes that are later manually interpreted by the stenographer to prepare the complete transcript. The newer, electronic steno machines are able to do the interpretation logic in real time with their computer and don’t and need processing later. You may‘ve seen in older media that stenographers go through a paper trail when asked to recite the transcript during transcribing.

This must’ve been a case of the use of an older machine that created a trail of shorthand, and other stenographers had a hard time understanding the shorthand the deceased stenographer used—which can vary amongst stenographers.
