@clacke That's what I suspected. I wonder what percentage of their trade is using this versus SWIFT, but that's probably a difficult number to find out

@clacke I hope you're right, it'd be great if it really did displace SWIFT. As that linked article mentioned, the Caribbean also needs something similar (and maybe they just link in to the eCNY)

implying that about 38% of global trade could bypass the US dollar dominated SWIFT network
I'd be curious to know what the real figure is, but 38% is a potential, not a reality

The US and UK tracking and arresting people for political speech is a reminder that even if you're doing nothing wrong, privacy is important

@loke two letters whose names differ only in a voiced/unvoiced distinction, what could possibly go wrong !

@clacke It's interesting that we're about as far from Middle Chinese as from vulgar Latin, but the change seems more than in the Romance languages ? Though I guess if French had a billion speakers, it might have diverged even more

@juliobiason Please don't.
I know someone who had an idiot motorcycle crash into him like that. The idiot died, and my friend is still traumatized about it despite it being 100% the fault of the guy who hit him

@clacke One of the funnier songs I stumbled upon recently, is one I know from the Irish tradition, and where there's a dragon that's slayed. Same theme in English and Scottish versions of the song.
The Appalachian versions feature a wild pig instead of a dragon, which is just wonderful

@clacke Pete, and even more his sister Peggy, Seeger were huge figures in folk and traditional song across the English speaking world. She was a first-rate song collector, and spent much of her life in England.
Your broader point of course stands, but there's an interesting conversation amongst all the English folk traditions, plenty of songs move back and forth across oceans and seas, giving Anglophone folk an oddly cosmopolitan bent

@hanshuebner I have parens-require-spaces set to nil, to prevent that from happening with M-(
If that doesn't fix it you'll need to share what you have ( bound to, and any active minor modes :neko_glasses:

@juliobiason grep -l for the exit status, then cat the listed files ?
