@confuseacat and another one “Premium feature”

Calmed down Wikipedia design a little bit

@colon_three hell yeah!

This is brilliant! Special objects that equal to any value. E.g. any/uuid will be equal to any possible uuid https://github.com/igrishaev/any

@sarna so it’s not like Kotlin is cheaper than Clojure, it’s just unifying the stack across the company?

@thebasicappleguy No. It will be infected with Tahoe

@sarna how is Kotlin cheaper? Clojure programmers ask for more money?

If you throw an exception from the same place in your program multiple times, JVM will stop giving you stacktraces ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All that said, I am not sure I want a notification billboard in the middle of my mac, which I actually use for work. I’d rather not draw this much attention to notifications.

Dynamic Island takes up _MORE_ space, leaving _LESS_ space for content. What is this, a psyop?

@OsitoBurr just keycaps https://drop.com/buy/drop-bees-keys-gmk-zx-keycap-set

@gerrykelly @Lacey I actually have both ingridients at home. But I’m too lazy to do it, sorry

@woe2you @Lacey we finally fixed it :)

@grishka it’s just a keycap set, you can put it on a full-sized keyboard too
