I’m gonna second French and Arabic for sheer amount of speakers (native or as secondary language), as well as geographic variety.

Other than that, I would’ve said that Russian would serve you well in the post-soviet sphere of influence, but that changed recently for obvious reasons. You very likely don’t want to travel to Russia, and her neighbors don’t look to kindly on Russian either, now. Will still do in a pinch

okay, and one joke answer: Japanese, you’ll find weebs to talk to in every country

The bullet train is wholly irrelevant here. It does not transport cargo now, does it? Build a fucking freight train line. Every time some tech bro suggests a solution involving pods, a civil engineer has a stroke

Build a god damn train

Unless “it” is a pipe bomb or a fresh piece of shit

At the end of the story, Kushmaro is offered the task of pressing a button to denonate a building.

Cool, he’s no longer a journalist under international law then.

It’s also likely a war crime.

Pushing that civil war narrative again, when Russian troops were involved from day one? Nice

Stay classy, .ml
Straight up Russian propaganda at this point

You don’t believe how refreshing it is to find someone who actually listens and is open to change their position in the face of overwhelming evidence. Good on you!

Israel was responsible for something like 80% of fatalities among journalists last year, worldwide. So yes, easily

So Hamas is training child soldiers /s

Stop lying. He stumbled over his words, this is not at all what that statement was about, and if you look at the whole thing you’ll see that.

a bank isn’t a civilian location

what the fuck is it then‽

(I heard there’s a tunnel network full of Nazi gold under this person’s bedroom)

Does anyone still actually believe this garbage?

At this point, even the people hopping into every thread to defend Israel’s genocide must know they’re full of shit

of course they’re not a drop-in replacement, as the cli is getting a major redesign, but as per your source

nix shell and nix develop are still experimental, so nix-shell is sticking around despite doing the same thing

it seems like they are made to fulfill the same purpose

Interesting, didn’t know the history of the command. But that post confirms my understanding, that nix shell/develop are the new replacements for nix-shell, with nix shell for temporary package installs and nix develop for debugging and developing

My point is more þat we don’t really need þe distinction, a lot of other phonemes are ambiguous in English, and þey’ve not coexisted for a long time historically. Early English mostly used eð, middle English mostly þorn. Not faulting you for using boþ at all, I þink þat’s also valid

Source on the second statement? My understanding was that nix-shell is legacy for systems without flakes and nix-command enabled, and are being replaced by nix shell/run/develop

Careful, there’s three different terms in the mix here:

NixOS: an entire operating system, you don’t need this.

nix: the nix package manager. This is what you’ll need to install. look for single user install in the instructions.

home-manager: a module for nix. It’s aim is to allow declarative configuration of a users’ home configuration (and allow easier per-user install of packages on a global nix install).

If you want to go down the nix route, which I would recommend if you enjoy tinkering and having fine control over your system, you should start with installing nix. With that, you can already setup a shell that has the newest version of python available.

Going beyond that, I can link you some more resources, if you want c:

hell yeah, þorn and eð user in the wild!

alþough I stand by the opinion þat þe voiced-voicless distinction between þorn and eð is someþing superimposed onto English later on, as eð and þorn were used interchangeably for a time and it was more a question of time period raþer þan voicedness
