That's a fun game! I found out I have muscle memory for j/k meaning up/down, instead of w/s.

It’s astounding that we, as an industry, are so averse to licensing developers. It solves the resume spam problem and the repetitive LeetCode round(s) that every company now wants. We also don’t have to settle for the licensing process other industries have—ours can be more inclusive of alternative development backgrounds, while still providing a meaningful quality filter.
What do you mean with licensing? What’s the difference to a university degree?

After reading that piece, I’ll do my best to avoid flying with a Boeing airplane. I hope the author survives his article.
I find it a little disingenuous that the author keeps dropping the TLD and describing the emails as cool@<poo>, when the TLD is still part of the email address. Interesting experiment, anyway. I'm surprised that it worked well enough to get a functioning email service working with it. A lot of systems must assume that an email address or domain name wouldn't include emojis.
I was wondering how „bob@[rocket]“ works… Thank you for clarifying.

With nuclear power (especially with new plants) Germany could transition off CO2 producing fuels faster.
Remember: renewables are not actively good for reducing CO2. They don't suck CO2 out of the atmosphere, they are at best neutral. Renewable are good insofar as they allow us to move away from fossil fuels.
It takes decades to build new nuclear plants. This won’t solve anything until they are built.
Renewables /are/ good for reducing CO2, as every kW produced by renewable is not produced by CO2-emitting alternative. Plus, they make you independent from foreign energy sources.

I wonder how this is left unnoticed for so long. Yes, there was a bug tracker but for one year there’s no fix? Clearly, I don’t understand enough about it.

If I can go "man [", then why doesn't "man (" work? And why aren't there man entries for the rest of all the punctuation marks that bash uses?
They look similar, but to your shell they are different: [ is the name of an executable, ( is a syntax symbol of bash. The man page for the syntax is the man page of bash.

that lower-cased LANG is invalid on macOS, so the system will silently default to LANG=C
