The number of conjugations is impressive, mostly because of the genders and the plural forms. But regarding the tenses themselves, half of them are formed by adding ‘stato’ to the other kind. Meanwhile English has twelve basic tenses without getting into the subjunctive, conditional and imperative moods (congiuntivo, condizionale and imperativo). The full tense–aspect–mood system greatly complicates things.
has way less verb tenses
Wouldst I have been having an origin and thus a learning experience that might have been comparable to yours, I expect I should will agree with you. But having not had had my way into English from the same vantage point, I am going to have to go ahead and will have disagreed with you, in that in my view tenses in English are son of a fucking bitch.
Why do you think it’s basically the world’s lingua franca?
Afaik until WW2 German still was the lingua franca for academia. What, it became harder after the war? Oh wait, perhaps it’s just fallen out of favor while the US, having not been bombed to rubble and having had an influx of educated immigrants, enjoyed a huge economic boom and resulting political and cultural dominance.
I’m of the view that a bunch of digraphs would be reduced to single letters if Polish used the Cyrillic script. But some commenters noted that other letters don’t map that nicely. However, then again, variations of Cyrillic across Eastern Europe and Central Asia include a range of letters that aren’t in Russian, for example, so idk why Polish couldn’t use those or add a few of its own.
Not how it works. Different people created the spinoff and thus ran the show. Judge had nothing to do in there because it wasn’t his show. Apparently he “allowed the character to star in the series”, although I’m not sure he had the rights anyway.
I’d guess they would let him come onto the show if he wanted. But even the characters that he voiced in ‘B&B’ aren’t in ‘Daria’, and
Other than a brief mention of Highland, ‘Daria’ did not contain any references to ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’.
gcc is the most typical, works on the current line.
I mean, I’m still gonna consider The Beatles’ ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’ and Iron Butterfly’s ‘In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida’ precursors to stoner-rock, and to some extent doom. It’s just that someone was inevitably gonna pick up on that sound and run with it.
Judge wasn’t involved with ‘Daria’.
Yeah, I’ve seen posts on Reddit that went like “I thought surely datura can’t be that bad… I can now report that it’s absolute garbage of a drug and the worst experience I’ve had in my life”.
If you were to say to the grown-ups: “I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, with geraniums in the windows and doves on the roof,” they would not be able to get any idea of that house at all. You would have to say to them: “I saw a house that cost $20,000.” Then they would exclaim: “Oh, what a pretty house that is!”
Vim has a built-in tutorial on the motion commands and such. I don’t remember how it’s invoked, but probably something like :help tutorial. You’ll get an overview of the commands and see which ones might be useful to you right away. As I mentioned, I recommend getting the hang of them one or a few at a time, so they are incorporated in your toolbox.
Speaking of help, it’s generally useful in Vim to use :help {something} when you want to recall how something works. It has consistent naming for the help pages for various functionality, e.g. :help :s shows the page about the :s command, and there are pages for every motion command, etc. — I don’t remember the prefixes as it’s been a while since I used Vim proper, but just :help should give you an index.
Also, if you’re coding in Vim, there are ways to integrate documentation for your language, so that K would show help for the function or whatever under the cursor. Back in the day I’ve had PHP docs plugged into Vim, but it’s been a while, so idk how it’s done now. Iirc there are dumps of docs from the Dash app, which might be available as vimdocs.
It’s very easy to pick up. Out of the box, it’s just Evil, Ivy/Vertico, Org-mode, and several programming modes. The spacebar is likewise employed for many actions, but I don’t use most of them myself: just have about a dozen that I invoke regularly. The enabled modules (readymade configuration) and installed packages are specified in config files, and doom sync handles installing them.
It has some emacslisp helper functions/macros to add mappings, add hooks on modes, etc. — these are more convenient than those of raw Emacs.
I’m not sure why the author switched Doom to Vertico in the upcoming version 3, when Ivy was working fine. I’ve made some configuration tailored to Ivy, so enabled it back via the config file.
I found Doom to be a good middle-ground between raw Emacs+Evil and a complete overhaul of Spacemacs.
a couple of visual mode commands
Those might also work in the normal mode with motions, depending on the text. E.g. gcap would comment out the current paragraph (iirc).
I hope that you use the motion commands at least, because that’s the whole point of the separate modes. If not, you should look them up and add some of them to your workflow little by little.
The most basic ones are wand b to go a word forward or back; 0 and to go to the start or end of the line, or g0 and for the visual line. f to jump to a particular letter forward. { and } to go to the start/end of the paragraph.
V is useful for selecting whole lines. ctrl-v for block selection (or ctrl-q, depending on your setup).
can jump or select to the matching parenthesis or brace. With matchit installed, it also jumps to matching keywords like end or HTML tags.
gc comments out the selection (or uncomments it). Works with motions too, like gcc.
For pasting, you should use p in the normal mode. Also P pastes before the cursor. This is useful for moving text around by deleting it with something like daw, jumping elsewhere, and doing p.
And of course, the regex replacement with :s// is very useful if you have more than a few lines that need approximately the same change.
Pro tip: use Evil.
Another pro tip: if on Windows or Linux, remap alt to ctrl and win/menu to alt.
Org-mode, which is made for Emacs, has built-in spreadsheets.
Now every time I’m trying to do a ternary in Lua, I miss being able to just stick an if in there.
From light pollution. Or it’s just early morning in there.
