But the team persevered and scanned at higher resolutions and eventually found letters: https://scrollprize.substack.com/p/finallyletters-in-scroll-...

Now they've managed to bring out the ink across the whole scroll. Truly inspiring, can't wait to read up on how they did it.

I think bang-interro just didn't sound as nice and that's probably why it is called an interrobang.

"A > B" reads as "A greater than B"

"A -> B" reads as "A to B"

If this is all self imposed by tariffs, which as far as I know it is, what industry are the tariffs really defending? Certainly not Uruguayan electronics manufacturers, there aren't any. The only people that I imagine benefit are customs officers and companies that import stuff to sell in Uruguay. There isn't any new capability to build things that the country gets in return. We learn from exporting talent instead.

And if we want to compete we need to do it globally. Our market is too small, the population is ~3M.

As soon as any complexity or validation is needed I move to python, which is usually a better fit, and arguably even more portable.

build() { ... }

run() { ... }

cmd="$1"

shift

$cmd "$@"

How is rc better than bash or zsh? I've read the bash man pages and I couldn't figure out exactly how bash expands commands before executing them. Every time the shell see's an unquoted variable name (e.g. $foo) it will do word splitting, which is why you have to write "$foo" instead, or "${foo}bar" to distinguish "$foo" from "$foobar", etc. Add history and filename expansion and command substitution, weird syntax for control statements...

The best feature of rc is that word splitting and globbing happens once, and it results in a list of strings. There is no longer a need to quote variables all the time. No need to use filenames without spaces.

Here's what bash does:

    $ files=*; echo "$files"; echo $files
    *
    file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
    $ # echo $files -> echo * -> file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

    $ files=*; echo $files
    file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
    $ # files=(file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt)
    $ # echo $files -> echo file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
