Yeah. I have no evidence that this system invented those shortcuts, they may predate it by quite a bit

When we allow aparthied states to comnit genocidal acts without protest, we signal that other countries should not interfere should our own state turn to aparthied and genocide.

Its either ok for no one or its ok for everyone

Clicked expecting Noodle. It was Noodle.

In the Speedwriting shorthand system, developed in 1924 for use with typewriter, / Is used to denote omitted sylables, so ‘with’ becomes w/ and ‘without’ becomes w/o. Here is a pretty deep guide on the precepts of Speedwriting:

As far as I knew, everybody hated him. He was already a self aggrandizing corrupt piece of shit. He was basically the Democrat even saten island could vote for.

Correction: they were all incompetant traitors

Its been the standard in Europe also. This has been changing, but only recently.

Yes, it is still a quartz watch. The oscillator is still a quartz oscillator. However the mechanism which advances the second hand is replaced with onethat does not need to tick.

The kind of quartz watch is no longer a ticking quartz watch, it is a non-ticking quartz watch.

As for the specific wording of the article, I would assume the authoris not fully versed in partsof quartz watches, and does not know that the oscillator which keeps time is different from the stepping motor which moves the hands.

This invention targets only replacing the stepping motor, not the oscillator.

Having to work with this guy makes you legitemately oppressed

Thats exactly the proposition. Eliminate tifking quartz watches in favor of non-ticking quartz watches.

Say goodbye to the quartz watches that do tick replace them with ones that do not tick

French innovator aims to consign ticking quartz watches to history

The ‘ticking’ is what is being consigned to history. The article is about an alternative to ‘ticking quartz watches’, a non-ticking quartz watch

Its the ‘ticking’ part of ticking quartz

I generally use ‘USican’, pronounced yoo-ess-ican. Every seemseto understand me.

Edit: this may be the most controversial thing i’ve said on lemmy.

Thats true. And then America stopped. And then the people who had actual on-the-ground experiance died of old age. Its really another effect of the slow tragedy that is the auto industry

Thats quite true, but also political blockage prevents the projects from starting. With California high speed rail, the project is going. And we have found that, in addition to political stumbling blocks, California simply lacks access to the knowledge to build this, and must build that up. Its not ‘instead of politics’, its ‘in addition to’.

If you look at the context of my comment, you will see I was replying to someone who, it seems, has confused the California high speed rail project with the hyperloop. The first is an actual thing that is being built, the second is a distraction.

As for comparing the situations, of course it can be done. We can look at how the twa countries built rail, see what are fundamental differences and what are things that can be learned.

This is misleadingly reductionist. California high speed rail has made consistant progess in that time. That progress has been slower than ourslowest expectations. It demonstrates the void of expertise the US has in rail megaprojects. However, that expertise is being built, slowly and painfully. Its still forward progress for a nation which tore up half its rail overthe last 50 years.

California high speed rail is an actual project which has actually been building actual rail since 2008. It is the only rail megaproject active in the United States. It has many challenges, none of them physics, some of which were mad worse by Musk’s bullshit.

Asking for an actual comparison between the circumstances of the Chinese high speed rail network and the circumstances of the California High Speed Rail project is valid.

This response reflects poorly

exactly this. If I need to do development, i’ll use a jetbrains product. If i’m in a pure text editing situation, I want the most powerful thing for manipulating text, and I want it to be available.

Vim can have some IDE-like qualities, if you bolt enough plugins in to it, but by default it affords buttinx text in a file and manipulating it.

I woudn’t classify it as an ide though.
