So, there's this custom in Germany when someone is diagnosed with celiac disease that all the other celiacs will come and chase the newbie and try to hit them with bread.
It's called gluten tag.

A new sorting algorithm for integers!
let nums = [0,39,28,34,2,1,6,99]; nums.foreach(num => { setTimeout(() => { console.log(num)}, num) }

Doesn’t code from npm require you to give attribution when you reuse it?

Good old sleepsort.

It's not a new algorithm. It's code reuse; the scheduler will already have a temporal sort implemented.

@dkf All y'all are really trying to out-German the German here, right?

Probably the only thing around the house where I'd use a point-and-call routine to set it up though

@topspin I award you one point, we are all dumber for having seen this, and may God have mercy on your soul.

@DogsB vi and apple. Hard to decide, let them both share the 1st place in usability.

@obeselymorbid I work for a web design agency, so naturally I have a MacBook. Unlearning muscle memory has hurt quite hard.

@HardwareGeek it's one of the nice M1's though, doesn't get hot at all except under load (which, frankly, means macOS shat itself) and runs whisper quiet at the same time, while not being sluggish (except, well, when macOS has shat itself)

@Arantor they’re really great laptops, all that’s missing is a sane keyboard layout.
Or, for that matter, printing the damn special characters onto the keys.

@topspin And even that's fixable for $10 and a short trip to the nearest compumart for a new keyboard.

Honestly the hardest part with a Mac keyboard is that they rigidly implement the USian quote location - shift 2 on a UK keyboard is double quote, but shift 2 on a Mac keyboard is @
Putting double quote as shift-single quote makes a lot of sense but the UK never did it so I have to switch muscle memory between work and home :(
Pipe is shift-backslash which is right next to the enter key. The only other one is back tick which is down next to Z.
But you know what I do have? Next to that gidfirsaken Touch Bar, I have a physical Esc key so I won’t be trapped in vim forever.

@DogsB said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
Someone there needs a newer computer. (My MBP has the touch bar… and a physical esc because it's just too damn useful, even for non-vi users.)

You know what the Touch Bar has on the pre-2019 Macbooks?
I know, but still
-
@loopback0 Apple sometimes do listen to their customers () and reinstated the physical Esc key after complaints.
-
@Atazhaia yeah my 2019 work Macbook has a proper escape key but I never really saw the fuss either way.
now considering the Touch Bar isn't on the newest Macbooks.

Back in the days of manual typewriters, the double quote was always the shifted 2. Single quote was on the 8, and the 6 had an underscore.

Now, you couldn't erase per-se, so you'd need to shift to white and type the same letter back over any errors, mind. The earliest models included a small Welsh child to move the ribbon, but this system was gradually superceded, first by a foot-pedal, then a knife-switch, then a simple cam lever (once the cam was discovered in 1957.)
The eventual expansion of typing enthusiasm outside the onion-farming community spurred many further changes. The onion symbol, in particular, was stylized to the modern @ after certain events, familiar to those involved, which are not mentioned here.

@da-Doctah Even back then each country had its slightly different layout.
