alcohol is a carbohydrate with a twist.

That's neither chemically nor biochemically accurate.

You twist carbohydrate and you get hydrocarbons. It is just linguistically accurate :)

I can't remember when exactly I found out about `git bisect` but it was life-changing and I never looked at git repos the same way.

git bisect is life-changing, but make sure you know about git rerere also. I don't use either of them on a daily basis, but when you need them ... wow, just wow.

Baader–Meinhof phenomenon or Frequency illusion

It happens to me when I want to buy a specific car. I see it everywhere.

It happens to me with the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon every time I hear about the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon

Soon: Apple introduces narrow-beam-tubular-copper-audio-point-to-point-transfer-apparatus which increases bandwidth and removes the need for additional batteries or chargers.

This time it's 3.1mm (slim connector).

This is genius, and all of you HN nerds trying to laugh at this post are fools. Apple is onto something here: they could completely eliminate the annoyance of Bluetooth by creating a physical analog that you can patch into other devices at will. If they're able to figure out how to route power deliver and high definition audio through the same cable, they'll be lightyears ahead of the market.

2.5mm is already pretty common in the audio industry, so the size of the connector shouldn't be an issue.

3.05mm :D

It will be called: WirePods™

I was considering EarRods®

With time, difference between Apple devices and the Playstation is shrinking. I am fine with using any OS that gives me a terminal emulator with vim and unixy friends.

However, I detest artificial platform limitations and software that wants to "nudge" and manipulate users, hostile defaults and "optimized expiriences".

My last used Apple device was from 2015.

Which is why we use Linux on the desktop. All 5 of us, sigh.

that explains dig?

And java -version

Java never supported single letter options, which is why any other meta-character is necessary at all.

ls -la == ls -l -a, but then you can't ls -all because it's the same, you need --all (or +all).

Java supports -cp or -classpath but in both cases the token after the - always identifies a single option, so you don't need the second dash.

I get the logic, but it still creates cognitive load to have to keep track of what a given cli utility supports

java -version AND java --version

Maybe because java was intended to run on multiple operating systems, although both look out of place on MS-DOS!

java --version only works on Java 11 and newer.

"Nim" game is also solved with XOR.
