It has been my experience, anecdotal as that may be, that a considerable portion of Wikipedia editors are fervent deletionists about anything not found in a paper encyclopedia, Molly White's impression notwithstanding. The mind-set is, that at some point in the future, Wikipedia will actually be printed out somehow, and any extraneous pages just add more cost with no redeeming value. My own vision is more along the Encyclopedia Galactica line - the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes to mind - where notability is a very low bar, as opposed to the current policy. Should there even be a deletion policy? Why? Maybe a better system would rank the topics by page views and surface the better ones. Why are some editors gatekeepers about public knowledge with their speedy deletion trigger happiness? That's not the way it works in science publications - ooooh, I guess we need more that one Wikipedia to make that work.

You've obviously never opened a document (with tabs) where your IDE setting doesn't match what the author used. It looks like shit. Spaces are never, ever, misinterpreted. Tabs are. If your experience in viewing a document depends on a setting that the author had in their IDE, then it is a failure. This is why .PDF files are so ubiquitous, it doesn't matter if you created it in Microsoft Word with a uniform tab setting, or TEX in a console, it looks the same to the reader. If you cannot guarantee that the reader sees your source files as you see them, then you have failed. Full stop. Tabs should be cast into the dust bin as an archaic pre-optimization that failed in the real world.
Code indentation should never use tabs, only spaces.
My concern is that this will prolong the life of fossil fuel generation in Minnesota (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Minnesota) which is twice as much as all other generation sources combined (8662MW vs. 4453.3MW). So, it's hurting the environment to assert sovereignty - which is probably not what the average Canadian wants.
Just so you know. Maybe I'm late to the party.
I take pictures of letters that I write in longhand (yeah, I do that, I'm old, and weird) just so I don't repeat myself in subsequent letters.
Yesterday, I searched in Google Photos on a word in the text of a letter, and it worked!.
So, I surmise that Google is using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to index pictures of handwritten text and using that in it's search algorithm(s). I assume it has been going on a while since it found something I wrote months ago.

OK, it's really a mathematics equivalence, rather than a scientific fact, but Euler's Identity:
e^iπ^ + 1 = 0
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_identity
it shows a profound connection between the most fundamental numbers in mathematics.

Disheveled hair. If you have long(ish) hair and you're going out in public, at least drag a comb through it so you don't look like a bed-head.

This is 100% a China and US problem - nowhere else in the world would these Wankpanzers be a status symbol. What's required is a re-education of the Nouveau Riche to make a better choice.
I think there are a number of word phrases in English that would be, what are called, Trennbare Verben in German. To give English speakers the idea, when somebody says they "work out", it's not like just "work" - it has a specific fitness idea because of the additional word "out".
In German, the equivalent verb would be "outworking". In common English grammar, the "out" is always separated. In German, many words can be inserted between working and out - so like "working on the elliptical machine out". That need not be the case in English, but it often is.
In English I would like to say "I outbuffed the scratch in my car with a chamoisé.", or "I uppicked a record from the flea market." or "I uppumped my tires last week." or "I downfell and broke my ulna while skiing."
Which is more correct: "I pumped up my tires last week." or "I pumped my tires up last week."?
In German it could be "I buffed the scratch in my car with a chamoisé out.", "I picked a record from the flea market up.", "I pumped my tires last week up.", and "I fell and broke my ulna while skiing down."
I'm just saying we should normalize these two-word combinations as a "standalone verb" concept so the trailing qualifier is not so difficult to parse and locate correctly in a sentence - since each of the meanings absolutely requires both parts of the verb.
