It’s actually a collection of four books, which I think these days are sold in sets of two.

It’s got some fun stuff, like an author who’s convinced of his own infallibility, and fantasy-like vocabulary, except none of the words are really made up, it’s just applications of somewhat obscure latin and greek words. I’d also kind of encourage going into it blind, since there are some bits of it that are more fun to figure out as you go along.

Bonus for /c/finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world players: it has Ascians.

Yeah, I can imagine it’s kind of in the Lovecraft category, as in, clearly influential, but, uhhh, yikes.

Kind of the inverse, but you may enjoy Gene Wolfe’s book of the new sun, and the Numenera TTRPG.

I guess Vance’s Dying Earth series, that inspired how spells work in D&D, also would fit there, though I’m not personally familiar

I escaped reddit for this?

The O is for the kind of whooshing sound

I think some of the stuff you worry about as a kid will just arise naturally. Ideas like not stepping on cracks, or imagining monsters in dark places are likely produced spontaneously and naturally by an underdeveloped ape brain.

But it’d be nice if we didn’t tell kids about old superstitions, yeah. Wait until they’re old enough to react with dismissal about the stupid stuff people used to believe.

I thought we were calling the thing you speak Strayan!

Wer braucht denn eigentlich Jon Oliver, wenn wir Jan Böhmermann haben?

Alternatively: Finally I can practice my school German!

Må innrømme at jeg ikke er kjent med uttrykket. Er det en dansk eufemisme for tysk?

I also get the im pression that the memes with German com pound words take off be cause English split all their com pounded words with spaces, so you get stuff like “chain saw” in stead of “motorsag” and so on.

We Norwegians who in stead make fun of people who write com pounded words with spaces (orddelingsfeil, wortteilenfehl oder so) don’t really get their fascin ation.

I do like the idea of having an intent level character. And once we have that, we don’t need AltGr7 etc (curly braces) to denote which level we’re at either, the whitespace has all the information we need.

But ultimately I just use whatever is default for the language formatter these days. My own personal preferences on that isn’t actually that important, and I find that’s a common feeling once someone just works with the default for a while.

yeah, ä and æ get transcribed as ae and is a different sound.

Same thing in Norwegian with “tøy” (verktøy, fly, kjøretøy, plus fartøy for water-faring vessels) … and then tøy by itself means cloth or clothes (also available through klestøy)

Yeah, I’ve experienced that as well. A summer party is often nicer than a winter party too.

Depending on the country you might get some collision with midsummer celebrations though

I think my usecase of curl is entirely covered by hyper (I just use it for http/s with a small handful of flags); but I also have absolutely no idea what goes on inside curl or how my distro chooses to build it.

Rebuilding curl to use Rust here and there (it still supports rustls and quiche) seems like an interesting undertaking, but yeah, I suspect most curl users don’t build it themselves and have no idea what experimental features it could be built with. Guessing the curl survey has data for that.

Stenberg seems like a cool dude and this seems like an amicable split.

I generally agree, but

1. People who haven’t used a package before likely aren’t interested in release candidates.
2. Axum is one of the few pretty well-known Rust libraries. I’m willing to give that a pass on describing what it is for an RC, much like I’d do the same for FastAPI in a Python community. (But a little default blurb about what they are would be nice anyway to people who are new to the language and/or ecosystem.)

In addition to the other comment about the exit code, you might be interested in the exitcode crate, which offers up a BSD convention for those exit codes.

They are, essentially, just numbers on unixes and don’t really have as much standardization as e.g. HTTP codes afaik. Various programs may have their own local conventions as to what an exit code means.
