Well mergesort's out. No mergesort derivatives. No binary search. No A*, no Dijkstra. Long division? No, long division's out.

one thing I miss about switching from spotify to a local music collection is being able to share my banger playlists with friends
I've made a playlist of great english folk music (called "Ingerland") for my cycle tour of the peak district this weekend and it slaps
suspicious phrases uttered by algebraists: "oh yes I've just moved here from cheltenham"
[Musk's] subterranean prison cities [on Mars], in which survival would depend on extreme technological intervention – the slightest interruption of which would mean instant death – would make the worst terrestrial dictatorship in history look like a yoga retreat. [...]
This is the only planet in the universe to which we are adapted. Things we seldom think about – 1 bar of atmospheric pressure at the Earth’s surface; the magnetosphere, which, with the atmosphere, shields us from cosmic radiation and solar proton bombardment; ambient oxygen; 9.8 m/s2 of gravity; an average surface temperature of 15C – create, alongside the living systems that feed, water and shelter us, a place that would sound like paradise to anyone removed from it. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

I'm using Agda for my master's thesis in type theory and my god. I thought Haskell was a language with some insane design decisions due to being written by academics, but Agda really blows it out of the water. Who makes a language with untypable unicode characters as obligatory parts of the syntax??
