I think Twitter is down 60% in advertisers and 30% in users? Elon personality is part of it, but losing so many people handling community, clients, institutions… I am sure the company has lost most of its institutional knowledge.

Pandoc/Quarto markdown gives you most of these. In my experience, it rarely really matters fine control. If the effort is too big to tweak the templates/markdown you export it to an intermediate state (LaTeX/Office/whate

That’s the US perspective. But globally the final of the World Cup (which Messi played) was seen by more than 1.5B people (compared to <200M in the Super Bowl). It is a big name.

I took a look at Yesod and looks more like Haskell’s Sinatra and comes 6 years later than Rails, in 2010. By 2010 a simple web frameworm is table stakes, no huge differentiator.

I am not a user of the language (although I learned it like you). I just came to chime in that (a) there is at least one very popular software written in Haskell and (b) Haskell seems to ship a good amount of software for its popularity. Ha

Funny enough, historically anarchists have been called libertarians and were not against institutions and governance per se. Maybe you are caricaturing a bunch of movements that you do not agree with or are not well informed about?

You can feel it. Specially as 5e92cb50239222b says in throughput. Urxvt is not one of the slow emulators so you will notice it less specially at lower resolutions.

Foot is Linux only and lightweight, take it as a Wayland version of Xterm with good defaults and almost no emulation options. The rest works in all major OS. Alacrity is all about GPU rendering speed at the cost of everything else (at some

It is clear that R is not doing as well as Python. It is not clear that it is not doing well overall. It is still the best in statistical analysis and interactive usage (sklearn, statmodels, etc are not good enough). Maybe there is a health
