golang doesn't statically link everything by default (anymore?), this is from FreeBSD:

    $ ls -l axe
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root wheel 12830781 Mar 12 22:38 axe*
    
    $ ldd axe
    axe:
        libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0xe2e74a1d000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0xe2e74c27000)
        libsys.so.7 => /lib/libsys.so.7 (0xe2e75de6000)
        [vdso] (0xe2e7366b000)

That's not a proper explanation IMO. The thing is - all these settings are introduced "quietly" as new defaults and you have to opt out. So one day you decide to upgrade a package, brew updates itself, and then starts doing all these things that weren't present before (and are most likely not needed at all). It's very annoying, and a dark pattern to say the least.

I got bitten by broken upgrades in the past, when you were still able to simply "brew switch" to the old version if it was there. In addition the cleanup time is annoying when upgrading a lot of packages, so I kept the setting.

I think that's on purpose/by design, so that users are nudged into exploring. Things like these were pretty common in adventure games back in the days, which I probably spent too much time on playing...

Clicking on the right side (pointy hand) worked for me.

Open the notebook and flip through it. Drink the coffee (drag the mug downwards). Put the floppy in the device. Put the VHS tape in the device.

You can avoid the SyntaxError by abusing boolean expressions a bit:

  > obj = {}
  {}
  > obj != null && (obj.bar = 42)
  42
  > obj
  { bar: 42 }
Not as pretty as your LHS case, but it works.

...never deviates in spelling.

In South Slavic languages it's spelled Danijel as well (same pronunciation).

They had most of their (unique) equipment stolen a year before NYC Ghosts & Flowers was released[0], so they used whatever they had in their studio and put out an experimental album. Not my favourite record (Washing Machine and Daydream Nation for me), but I don't think it's that bad. Their later releases were also pretty good and the "really experimental" SYR stuff is quite interesting as well IMO.

Tab switching with the keyboard was already possible previously, IIRC you can use Alt+<N> (or maybe Ctrl+<N>) to switch to the N-th tab.
