This is going to be great with Asahi

What do you mean, "broke" it? What they do is always correct, and it's the user who doesn't understand, is attached to legacy technology, lacks the courage to make the change, and doesn't understand Apple's vision for the future.


I read the title as "traditional butt puzzling" and expected something slightly different


I relate more to the inarticulate bus


well spoken are its wheels


Truly a hub for circular reasoning


Yes! And. Please bear with me:

SONG OF INDRA

Thus indeed, thus is my mind : kine and horses will I win. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

Like the roaring winds the draughts of Soma have roused me up. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

The draughts have roused me up, as swift horses a chariot. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

The hymn has drawn nigh to me, as a lowing cow to her dear calf. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

As a carpenter a seat for the chariot, round my heart I bend the hymn. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

Haha, had to. This is such an absurdly beautiful translation of a Vedic hymn by Thomas. Source: page 50: https://archive.org/cors/vedichymns00unse/vedichymns00unse.p...


I thought ⌘ denoted a place of interest. I found many an interest spot just pulling off the road when seeing that


It is derived from that, exactly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_key

> The ⌘ symbol (the "looped square") was chosen by Susan Kare after Steve Jobs decided that the use of the Apple logo in the menu system (where the keyboard shortcuts are displayed) would be an over-use of the logo. Apple's adaptation of the symbol—encoded in Unicode at U+2318—was derived in part from its use in Nordic countries as an indicator of cultural locations and places of interest.

that’s a better source :)


I still call it the Apple key ("omppu" in Finnish, colloquial form of "omena") even though the symbol hasn't matched for a long time. I use it when thinking about shortcuts as well, like a screenshot being shift-omppu-4.


The article explains precisely how I feel about MacOS


Good, but having a plot subtitle "Tree style visualization of the first two letters of a word Visualization showing whether the first two letters of a word are enough to determine whether it should have “a” or “an”" isn't very informative. Tell me how to read it


I'm glad the abominable child sexual predators were mentioned. Poor Aisha bint Abi Bakr


My username checks out


So it's the opposite of smartphone, where keyboards are UI driven
