Ah, I didn't know that - thanks

Good article, apart from talking so much about choosing a language for the user and ignoring the Accept-Language header, which exists solely for this reason.

Most websites seem to ignore this header and just show you whatever their geo-ip says.

I didn't love it tbh. I had the canvas up in half of the screen and was doing something else but would look over too early then just be waiting for x seconds for my next pixel.

Absolutely, that's what I was thinking of when I wrote "tedious"; all the stuff you mentioned matters a lot to the user (or product owner) but isn't the interesting stuff for a programmer.

So was he writing backwards, or did they print a custom flipped t-shirt?

Have you tried using nix on Gentoo? I've heard that this is the best of both worlds: you can use Gentoo to configure your system just so, and use nix for the big binaries, the unimportant userland stuff, and nix-shell.

I think the noun/verb difference is a little more clear-cut than just saying it depends on context.

There's plenty(?) of words that are spelt with a verb–noun distinction:

• since I'm licensed, I can show you my licence
• she advised me and it was good advice
• he devised a clever device
• I practised for years before I got my practice

and more where the difference is only in pronunciation (mostly stress):

• Tomorrow I record my record
• I suspect that that suspect is the one
• She'll present her present

Longer means you're more likely to be able to ride out a power cut, and gives you more options if you want/need to complete something more involved than saving and shutting down.

That sounds quite niche, so I'd be surprised. It's also harder than it sounds, e.g. how do you sync up the video with your sound? Bear in mind that there can be different versions, for example the radio version is often shorter and sometimes the videos have footage at the start before the music kicks in.

If you want the video, why not just play on Youtube in the first place?

I've been impatiently waiting for this to happen for years. I want to see red squirrels! And the pine martens themselves are also great.

Self-fulfilling nominative determinism right there.
