Great stuff! Does it have a Session/Workspace concept? Maybe we can learn from how Alacritty does it integrating with tmux?
As many have pointed here Mandarin, Thai, Cantonese and Vietnam are tonal languages and the meaning of words are depending on how you speak the syllables inside the words. Mandarin has four, Thai has five, Cantonese has six and Vitnamese has six tones. Overall about 20% or 1.5 billion of the world's population converse daily in tonal languages.
It will be very helpful if someone come up with automatic tonal detection systems for language learners to automatically check the correctness of their pronunciations as they speak in real-time. This can be accomplished by using time-frequency analysis that detect its accuracy similar to these language pronunciation apps like ELSA speak for English [1][2].

Isn't true that Cantonese has 9 tones?

>>Almost immediately, Facebook’s ambitions collided with the reality that building transit systems in the United States is extraordinarily complex. Across the Bay Area’s nine counties, there are 27 transit agencies, each with its own agenda.
This article seems to touch on a major issue with railway expansion nationwide
State-wide railway system is definitely something only Fed can help on, I don't think even as big as Meta/Google can do much with them.

What's the Americans obsession with checks? I worked and lived in other countries , including Asia, Europe and Latin America. Most of them moved on to digital payment (especially China) where I found the US and Canada still heavily relied on a piece of paper to process a large amount of funds with no security.
In US, I realized even buying groceries they accept checks written at the counter.
Why can't the US just move on from checks?
I ignore macOS updates as a self preservation technique until something forces my hand such as buying a new computer or Xcode complaining it only runs on a particular release.
Between macOS, cpu architecture changes, and the fast pace of Electron’s release cycle (node ABI vs native modules), I’m constantly terrified about keeping builds running. Each upgrade … I’m just clenching my chest waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I never thought I’d become a late adopter of technology. But here we are.
So what about your company's IT? I am sure they want to push every updates to you as soon as it is released.

One of my previous companies use their self-hosted Gitea. That's all good and stuff, but they don't have a dedicated DevOps person, so we actually have to spend extra maintenance on it.
Moreover, we were going through SOC-2 auditing at that time and it is much easier to just store our source code in one of the SaaS option like Github/GitLab/Bitbucket for our auditors to check without having me to screenshot everything for them.
The ease with which the term limits were removed indicates that they were never a real limitation in the first place. What prior leader was actually bounded by them?
Jiang and Hu both stepped down after 2 terms. So yes they agreed to it.

I hope this will shatter the dream of anyone who think it is worth while doing business with China.
I don't even know why would anyone "dream" or "think" they have a chance to do business with CCP after what happened in what they did to Alibaba, etc.
