I guess the use of "dropped" rather than "cancelled" is kinda interesting

That's not what you get under feudalism; the industrialisation of agriculture won't be undone. Look up modern slavery conditions, because that's what you'll actually get.

Yeah, there are some examples out of "clean code" that are absolutely ludicrous on the "tons of tiny functions" end.

I'd also say letting map/filter and other common operations show is entirely fine.

Arch apparently doesn't want his money. I don't have any actual sources, just internet hearsay, but still, I can still very much understand not wanting to take his money.

Mmm, bottle fermentation.

But I think the main point is more along the lines of expectations for alcohol and general tastes: I find overly sweet stuff a turn-off, and generally need to temper sweet stuff with something sour or bitter.

Also, mixing juice and alcohol can very often result in what a lot of us drank as teenagers, and may have rather negative associations to. Like I don't have problems with gimlets and micheladas or radlers, but I think I prefer them all on the boozier side, and stuff like rum & coke is just … not for me.

So if I go to a restaurant and get what I interpret as more or less teenager drinking swill full of artificial flavouring, Black Tower and general goon sack swill, I'm going to have a bad time, and be left wondering if this stuff is actually representative of what they consider alcohol for adults, or if the people at the restaurant are being weird.

Yeah, same. Was struck by it at a korean restaurant that had the equivalent of a wine pairing, and their selection was just … something for children, only children can't drink. As in, I like straight soju and makgeolli, but I'd rather get some craft makgeolli without sweeteners than something flavoured like chemical blueberry replica.

Yeah, I took it more as analysing and adjusting to one's current situation, as opposed to going conspiracy nut.

Was expecting it to reference parse, don't validate but now seems like the author might be one of today's lucky 10000 (if they read lemmy comments)

W is a double-v for us, so our alphabet goes uvw (u ve dobbel-ve), rather than uwv (ju dabbel-ju vi).

Germanic languages vary a bit in their attitude towards w; we Norwegians use it pretty much just as a fancy old-timey v and could frankly drop w from our alphabet without missing anything (just like q is practically never used).

Germans use w the way we use v, and then use v pretty much like f.

The anglo w sound is something we have to learn in English class, and even then a lot of people start to hypercorrect and pronounce even the "v"s in English as their w. It can be wery funny to listen to, or wery frustrating.

Imagine if that money had been spent on building out renewables instead
