my father in law has a vw caddy (sdi). it has something like 120k in it even though it looks beaten up. i once told him I'm surprised. he told me that's 1.120.000km as the analog dial goes back to 0 after a million

My gaming PC now runs Zorin, my dev box rund Omarchy. It is time. Commercial OSes are dead.

I loved the olden era. When everything was new and amazing.

Yeah they can, if the want isolation, no internet or water and no friends around them.

For immutability to be effective you'd also need persistent data structures (structural sharing). Otherwise you'll quickly grind to a halt.

Why would you quickly grind to a halt.

Without persistent data structures (structural sharing) - every change requires copying the entire data structure, memory usage explodes, time complexity suffers, GC pressure increases dramatically.

With persistent data structures - only the changed parts are new; unchanged parts are shared between versions; adding to a list might only create a few new nodes while reusing most of the structure; it's memory efficient, time efficient, multiple versions can coexist cheaply. And you get countless benefits - fearless concurrency, easier reasoning, elimination of whole class of bugs.

why do you have this self imposed inability?

does this support ligatures? or is it designed in a way that you dont need them?

What are the alternatives that you are considering?

I would also block/reject a person like this. I had my fair share of these phishing attemts so I'm not asking questions if someone is trying to touch my infra.

Without conversation, despite email? What's your project so I cns make sure not to use it then?

This sort of contribution seems easy enough to review.

I want to learn German (as an adult). What should I do then?

Already mentioned elsewhere, but take a look at https://www.goethe.de/en/spr/kur.html , search for "Goethe Institut" on Google Maps, consider working with someone from https://www.italki.com/en/teachers/german , search for "learn german" on YouTube, etc.

Babbel was mentioned a few times, Pimsleur as well (they're different companies/methods), https://www.languagetransfer.org/ ...

Mix and match to find what works for you - what seems fun and motivating.

Oh, and consider informal irl meetings as well - https://www.meetup.com/topics/german/ (depending where you live ofc)

Thank you, I'll take a look at these!
