I agree it’s not the prettiest, but I had no trouble clicking on “tree” to get to the folder and then “mod.ts” to see the code.

This goes pretty deep in English. I'd argue that the semantic intention behind the colloquial usage of "vulgar" is nearly inseparable from the "class distinction" baggage it carries. Consider these common synonyms and their etymologies:

- Rude: "coarse, rough, unfinished, unlearned" (https://www.etymonline.com/word/rude#etymonline_v_16610)

- Mean: "shared by all, common, general" (https://www.etymonline.com/word/mean#etymonline_v_12495)

And even synonyms like obscene, indecent, or disgusting, which don't evoke this distinction directly, still almost always ultimately rely on separating things based on what is "good" and "clean" according to class distinctions.

Note that, in the abstract, “vulgar” means “common” (as in “vulgar latin”). Indeed, its negative connotations come from that same sense: “common” people are unrefined.

I know this isn’t truly the point of the article, but I’d encourage anyone/everyone to give https://fork.dev a try. Unlimited free trial but well worth it to support the great devs. It solves basically all of the ergonomic gripes I have with the `git` CLI.

This is cool. Although when I looked through the code I thought, “surely there must be a general-purpose Hayes command library for Python”, so I searched around, and didn’t find anything. Kinda wild.

I’m curious about how this works, can you link me someplace where I can read more about it? I tried searching for “cellular over wifi” but wasn’t about to find anything promising.

EDIT: I searched harder and found “VoWiFi”. It looks like this can support SMS and is supported by iOS. TIL.

My understanding is that programs like these work on the hypothesis that violent crime is often a symptom of an underlying public health issue (often mental health, in particular), and so should be addressed by public health resources more than by enforcement resources.
