Greek-Latin question marks
Actually the Greek question mark (;) looks like the Latin semi-colon (;)!
Last time I looked it up I think I found they are the same characters, and I tried compiling C with a Greek question mark instead of a semi-colon and it compiled fine! But I’m curious if it was because of something else, like my computer’s keyboard layout, or the compiler simply being able to handle them 🤔
Btw Hedgedoc supports making reveal.js slides!
I’ve been thinking, it’d be great if we had an AlternativeTo alternative, but open source and community-maintained 🤔 Right now any contributions we make are owned by that single company, with no way to e.g. make a fork if something goes wrong :(
Does anyone know if something like that exists?
(I know about awesome- lists but their use case is a little different, plus they’re scattered across many different repositories)
This! I also configured my client to hide posts with ~10 keywords (trump, ice, kills, etc), and my feed suddenly had a much more diverse set of topics. Usually there is a common keyword between topics you’d want to see less of; you just need to keep it in mind while you’re browsing so you can find it!

Unpopular opinion: I like the concept of daylight savings: 😅
What’s written on a clock is entirely artificial, made by humans to use as needed in everyday life; It doesn’t matter what it shows, just that it shows the same for everyone
I think we should decide what we want it to mean (e.g. sunrise always at 07:00, middle of the day at 12:00, move the sunset based on concrete statistics that prove it would minimize energy consumption, or anything else we want), and implement it in small increments
In a world where 99% of clocks are digital (phones, smartwatches, computers), no one will care or notice if for 6 months every day they lose 42 seconds of sleep, and then for the next 6 months gain them back again; (computers that need a stable reference point usually use UTC anyway)
Heck, even without modern technology: Germany was broadcasting the time on a specific radio frequency with DCF77 like ~50 years ago, for synchronizing train station clocks, so today it should be more trivial than ever to make this change in the clocks and software that people use 🤔
Throughput metrics
Phase Sanitization 67-85 Melem/s
😆
(Turns out it does exist! But it’s just a chemical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melem )
We now have the technology
