@dysfun @mcc I used to define a DOS Device S: that pointed to my source directory \\??\C:\something\something\something to solve this sort of thing. Now that I only use Windows in a VM, I always create a virtual disk S: for source code.

For future reference: “Globe key” or ctrl+cmd+space opens character viewer. Select Math Symbols and there it is.

I don’t think VSCode is really a fork of Atom. Atom forked off Electron as a separate thing which became popular. Microsoft combined a separate project called Monaco (https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor) and Electron to create VSCode.

VSCodium is a direct 3rd party fork build. Eclipse Theia is a clean room clone.

@mwt @mbonsma I had a driver HIT ME in a crosswalk when I had the “white man” crossing light last week in Washington, DC. And the yell at me for being in his way and drove off before I could make my way to the other sidewalk and call 911. Police took an hour to arrive and although I had a photograph of the license plate, claimed they could not track down the driver to do anything.

@mekkaokereke Newsom should not have pre-announced he was going to appoint a black woman. He should have announced he was going to select the most qualified candidate. Then he when he apppinted Ms Butler he should say she was the most qualified candidate.

The pre-announcement that only a black woman is eligible undermines the ultimate choice no matter how qualified.

@mhoye @thomasfuchs Sundar just erased the market gains of his layoff. When does the consequence of the failure of vision and leadership result in replacing the CEO?
