Yes and no. I find short lambdas easier to read. In lisp you have flet, labels, which allows you to name the elements without introducing external functions.

But of course there are cases where the proposed is useful, e.g. for reuse. I can imagine applyModifiers could be called in more than one place.

Anyway, upvoted because it's an interesting discussion.

on Easy migration from vim? · c/emacs · 5 pts · 14d

I came from vim, but the emacs shortcuts felt more natural gradually, and I never got into evil-mode too much. It did take a bit to be completely comfortable.

You can always check what a key does by C-h k, which is useful throughout.

Nuuk concluded that ordering the containers removed “would not be proportionate,” leaving the government to choose between licensing drilling in an area that may fall under wetlands protection or refusing and risking handing Trump an opening to press his claim harder.

Good article. It describes things in painstaking detail, and gets to the bottom of causes, possible choices, and so on.

I couldn't shake the feeling of AI writing in places, but that's not to the discount the article's value.

Overall, I love the quality this community upholds (from my casual experience).

Similarly to Onno, I write everything in markdown first, and convert using pandoc. Then I use weasyprint to take the resulting HTML with CSS applied on it, and generate a PDF from all that.

The result is quite nice, and this system has served me for more thant 15 years. A friend working in HR shared that it does stand out, compared to most submissions.

Here's a fragment of Makefile to summarize the concept:

docname=2026

all:
	pandoc -t html5 ${docname}.md -o ${docname}.html
	weasyprint -s ${docname}.css ${docname}.html ${docname}.pdf

Haven't played Unciv, how does it compare to Freeciv? If I see correctly, Freeciv is much closer to the original game, while Unciv tries to add some more "fun" features?

Oh man, this brings back memories. Used to play it in multiplayer with a couple of friends a lot at some point. Very well crafted, balanced game. The graphics are beautiful.
