Really hoped that the fact this came from xkcd was itself an example of citogenesis.

Even in Shakespeare the use of them is pretty inconsistent grammatically but makes perfect sense as a stylistic choice.

Very interesting. My understanding is that even when the KJV was being written these pronouns were becoming archaic. If it wasn't for the Bible and Shakespeare I wonder how many English speakers would recognise them.

That's not King James that's a more modern translation.

KJV:

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Do you really want to press the button, giving us that kind of American civilization?

I miss the days where the British Empire was just stealing supercomputers from Africa. /s

Wanting to be wealthy and competent is dangerously right wing.

Describing stuff as Lisp-like is a good way to sidestep arguments about "proper" Lisp.

What even is a proper Lisp? http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/04/lisp-is-not-acceptab...

It isn't though.

This sounds like most of my dev jobs to be quite honest with you.

This is cool but 2012!

Great she mentioned https://unpkg.com/ which is a great place to start.

Import maps are also worth exploring. Documentation isn't great but I've managed to ditch npm on some side projects and use import maps and CDNs instead. Worth it for small projects without a doubt.

The problem is the Town and Country Planning Act (1947) and endemic NIMBYism. Blaming landlords is lazy thinking.

Not read any but I will rectify that!
