Do you know the etymology of these words? My understanding is that they aren't exactly "Yes" but more "As you say" or something similar. But I am no arabicist.

Arabic doesn't have a word for "yes". I don't think most semitic languages do either [Classical Hebrew does not, but Modern Hebrew does, however, the word they use in modern Hebrew is the word for "Thusly", that is now a particle]. In fact you can see that proto-indo European didn't have a word for yes: Greek is ναι, but the romance languages are si (I am pretty sure French oui is actually derived from the same root as Spanish and Italian. Could be wrong) and if my memories is correct (and it may not be) classical Latin didn't have a word for yes. And the Germanic words yes/ja have a similar origin. I can't speak to the other IE languages unfortunately.
I know there are also language families that don't have a single word for no, but use a negation mood on the verb. I unfortunately can't give you an example of this. But it should be fun to look up!
I use a foldable cone, and a dual voltage kettle. I'm thinking of adding a vial of electrolytes and minerals to add to distilled water. Many places I travel have absolutely terrible water, and water makes a big difference!
It's no longer parody. It's prophecy
I don't know any hieroglyphs, but I do know cuneiform. Would rather read cuneiform than regex!
This is the one I use! Might have to look at regexer though
I wouldn't complain about using VSCode if the team i was on primarily used it (a la Typescript). But yeah, I'm glad I am more independent... And not doing web dev.
I honestly was persuaded to start using neovim (again) because of theprimegean. I don't like his content, but I was so tired of VS Code being so fucking slow and not part of the terminal. I used vim a lot, but with too many plugins it slows to a crawl. So when theprimegean talked about neovim, I was like great, yeah, I should try that. And then a few videos later I blocked his chanel because, yeah, it's not great.
Do you think chrome is too useful? Do you think Google is not creepy enough? Well I've got a new browser for you! Introducing OpenAI clippy browser! OpenAI can now legally steal all your data. With chat bots crammed in every corner. Help us boil the ocean!
Yeah, because I know this, and the research it self doesn't sound interesting to me.
Oh. Good one. Markdown everywhere. Slack always pissed me off for it's sub par markdown support.
I'm still using Airsonic-Advanced. I know there are alternatives like gonic and navidrome. But, eh. I like buy music from Bandcamp or directly from the artist, and then upload it to airsonic. Works nice.
