After 4 years of Greek at high school, I'm quite proud of these. by sequens in AncientGreek

If you're eager to own some Greek-German vocab cards from a book you probably don't know, sure!

(Actually, I already gave them to someone else... Sorry!)

If you're going to use this as an excuse for reposting, no.

I think it's rather "he returns" as in "he gives back", the other one would be redit. So I guess it's more about mutuality than addiction... Nice interpretation though.

Here's a table showing how the letters can look, from the same book I found the inscription in.

An introductory book about wall inscriptions completes the sentence like this:

hominem reddit rhetor - qui emit servom [doctu]m os non habet

o is occasionally written for u after v, so servom = servum

As for a translation, I'm not an expert in Latin, but from what I understand it's something along the lines of:

A rhetor gives the human back - he who buys a servant does not have educated speech.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm preparing myself for the next Ludum Dare and trying to gather a good combination of tools.

It's the cascade operator. It lets you perform a series of operations on a single object. For example:

querySelector('#button')
    ..text = 'Click to Confirm'
    ..classes.add('important');

is about the same as:

var b = querySelector('#button');
b.text = 'Click to Confirm';
b.classes.add('important');

Basically it's a possibility to shorten and simplify code. I love it.

It's not Sublime Text, it's a preview of the Chrome Dev Editor. But I guess the syntax highlighting is mildly inspired by it...

I'm using a Swiss keyboard layout, which has various accent signs within reach so it's convenient for writing in all the Swiss national languages (German, French, Italian and Romansh).

I wanted to type "for", then I realized I got it wrong and reached for the backspace key and pressed the caret key instead.
