- Being able to drop in a brand new laptop and have almost all I need out of warp and a barebones ZSH configuration. I used to spend a lot of time on getting ZSH both fast and feature-rich, and it's brittle. Warp by default provides good auto-complete etc.

- Fast rendering and sane graphical defaults. I don't need to do much more than put my font of choice.

- QoL features regarding file rendering etc.

I've never used the agentic parts of it, when I needed CLI my company paid for Claude and I get most of my stuff done with what I get out of my Zed subscription. But I'd be more inclined to do so now.

Agentic AI, broadly speaking. Including CLI agents and IDEs.

Islamic contribution within the context of European history should be both acknowledged and recognized as being autoctonous, but attributing to it things that well attested through other pathways works against it and reinforces myths historians are toiling to get rid of.

The Renaissance as we know it was kickstarted by the conquest of Constantinople in 1204 by the French and Italians, that's well documented and broadly agreed on by historians. All of this happened on the foundations laid down from the 11th c. onwards as the post-Carolingian world was stabilized.

In the late 40s, a lot of them were built from tanks !

At the moment my little brother and my father, who are living in a rural area, have started a collection of vintage tractors by buying everything they can and fixing it up, help that my dad's a mechanic. I'm frankly jealous.

I'm saying quite literally that it's over-represented in Black American artists, alongside with drug abuse. Which is a theme explored extensively by Black American artists themselves, most recently Kendrick. That it happens to white people in a similar set of circumstances (absentee parents and abuse during childhood) confirms my point.

I wouldn't go around DJing an abuser's music but I find it insufficient to stop at signaling about it and cancelling. That's where the work begins, not where it ends.

Stopping at jailing abusers will force them to hide better and prevent the more cowardly ones from acting, but it won't stop before the process behind it is fully understood, internalized and treated. I don't know the story behind it but there's a very high chance Afrika Bambaataa was abused as a child.

That should be a good lesson in anthropology : the delta between knowing something and acting upon it tends to be immediate necessity. We're still an immature species as we haven't learned to be lazy at scale, that is putting the right amount of work early on to do the least overall. But I'm optimistic we'll get there.

A good example of that would be what happened with Docker. Off the top of my head cgroups, namespaces, seccomp, overlays and capabilities had been around for a while before it got rolled up in a nice utility in 2013 and opensourced in 2015. Hence the containerization movement. Solaris zones and FreeBSD jails were nice but they always were let's say a bit too bearded.

After all you might not chose where you live, but how you live and where you die can be up to you. And as far as I can I try to respect what people chose for themselves.

The general debate on what's the objective list doesn't hold weight, and I'd rather see what each corner of the world values.

To the same token, French authors who make it across the Atlantic aren't always the most valued here.
