@lethalbit Presumably it's the "just works" factor that makes it popular.

Bloplang Pull Request #48592: Add zip method to iterators 
This is a proposal to add the zip method to iterators. This would allow you to join two iterators together, alternating between results from both. E.g. tens.zip(hundreds) would give [10, 100, 20, 200, 30].... This has been the most requested feature on our wishlist for seven months, and my initial implementation here provides a 12% speed up on the test_cases/thousands_of_types.blop. 👍 532 👎 12 🚀 226 👀 114 😕 3
BlobBot says: Hi red_bean ! Thanks for opening a pull request to Bloplang! I've run your code, and found this: Maximum regression: 0.05%. Maximum improvement: 12.03%. I've assigned curly_brace 
to approve your code. Don't forget to leave a star! 👍 221 🚀 179 👀 12
BlopBot added the "BlopBot Seal of Approval" "No regressions" labels.
I've never heard of "zip" before. Googling it, it seems to be a compression algorithm? Not sure what this has to do with iterators. I suggest naming it interleave instead. 👍 23 👎 34
zip seems to be pretty widely accepted. For example, Rust and Python call it zip. 👍 27 😕 1
yeah i've never head of zip before. interleave is too long tho, how about weave 👍 54 👎 27

How about spritz? In the idiolect of English spoken by my Discord server, spritz is very commonly used to refer to mixing things together. EDIT If you're going to laugh react, please leave a comment explaining why. 👍 5 😆 143

That's a bug with your Linux distribution’s zip command, which has nothing to do with Bloplang. Open a thread on the Fedora forums to discuss that, although they'll probably tell you that Fedora 32 is EOL. 👍 66
Okay, so we have 17 votes in favour of zip, 12 for weave, 5 for spritz, and somehow only 2 for interleave. Oh, and 1 each for sprinkle, intersperse_at_least_two_iterators_with_each_other, and sum. I'm beginning to suspect botting. 👍 7 😕 12
Hey read bean - this pull request is out of sync with main. Could you rebase on top of the twelve thousand commits that have occurred since you opened this? Thanks! 👍 63 🚀 2
:gale: whats stoping this from being merged? can we get an eta 👍 12 😕 2
It's mostly a debate on the name to use. I'm not sure why people aren't voting for interleave. I've provided numerous arguments as to why it's the obvious option, and I've even linked a conversation with ChatGPT 4-o proving that it makes the most sense. Sigh. 👍 2 😕 70 😆 11

One of my favorite orgs that doesn't get enough attention is glia, which maintains a GitHub org filled with open source medical devices such as this stethoscope or this otoscope. All their projects are all licensed under the TAPR Open Hardware License. This is in addition to their actual sending of doctors and medical staff to war zones and underprivileged areas.

@archeokluit Ah, de spaties zijn in het versturen weer normaal geworden. Bijzonder. Maar goed, hopelijk nuttig zo :)
uittreksel van boek, lang
@archeokluit Dit is de tekst volgens de digitale kopie (de spaties zijn een beetje gek, ik weet niet waarom):
‘Radiogolven,’ zei hij, alsof dat voldoende uitleg was. Het is krankzinnig als je bedenkt wat je allemaal niet weet, achter ieder ding dat je niet weet schuilen weer honderd andere dingen die je niet weet en nooit zult weten, het is afschuwelijk.
‘En wat is jouw favoriete planeet, Johnny?’ vroeg Benji. Ik was blij met zijn goede humeur, wat konden die radiogolven mij verder schelen? Radiogolven konden muziek vervoeren, dus waarom geen foto’s over een afstand van een miljard kilometer?
‘De Aarde,’ zei Johnny knorrig. ‘De fucking Aarde. Dat is nogal logisch. Wat heb je nou aan die andere planeten? Aarde, wat een stomme naam ook, konden ze niks beters verzinnen.’
‘Iets als de Pale Blue Dot,’ zei Benji.
Toen begreep ik dat nog niet, die Pale Blue Dot, ik wachtte op uitleg. Maar Johnny was het blijkbaar zat, hij draaide het raampje open, waarna een verschrikkelijk gebulder de auto vulde, zodat we elkaar niet meer konden verstaan. Ik kon er niks van zeggen want het was inderdaad bloedheet geworden, en het was nog maar acht uur. Manen, dacht ik, wij zijn manen, Johnny en ik, we cirkelen om ons broertje heen. De oorzaak van dat cirkelen: zijn zwaartekracht. Manen cirkelen om planeten, planeten cirkelen op hun beurt om sterren, en sterren weer om zwarte gaten, als ik het goed heb. Inmiddels was er een rood lampje op het dashboard gaan branden.
Great, apparently today is one of those days where every single attempt at focusing is foiled. Some software suddenly breaks, or someone down the street suddenly starts hammering on something, and so on, and so forth.
I hate days like this.
@archeokluit Kun je de eerste vier woorden van pagina 27 en van pagina 28 noemen? Dan kan ik de tekst uit een digitale kopie proberen te halen (die heeft geen zinnige paginanummers).

Help!
Wie is er in het bezit van het boekenweek geschenk "De Krater" van Gerwin van der Werf?
Bij enkele exemplaren in mijn directe omgeving, is het met drukken mis gegaan op pagina 27, waardoor er woorden en zelfs een zinsdeel weggevallen zijn.
Wie heeft een exemplaar waar wél alles leesbaar is op pagina 27?
Ah great, and Fractal is doing the typical GNOME thing of failing to work but not giving you any kind of useful error message whatsoever, so no way to figure out what exactly the problem is

Re Microsoft win 10 machines.
Don't believe Microsoft
"because they can’t be upgraded to a supported OS there will not be the normal secondary market for those buying new hardware. This means there’s no boon for charities or other good causes, and instead this is a recycling or landfill choice.
This is criminal.
Recycle to Linux.

Hm. Which of these two is the Cybertruck?
@schoentoon Dat is exact wat het is, inderdaad.
@Ninji The reason for this is most likely that companies don't actually *want* this - they care much more about having corporate branding and styling with something bespoke to their application, and having total control over the interaction flows (because they constantly get 'optimized' for increased profits and engagement)

I really wish it were wider knowledge that most of the content on Forbes.com is basically unreviewed blogging that didn't go through an editorial process. I still see a lot of people trust random posts they see there because they believe it's a business publication with actual reporters and editors. *Some* of the content is but a lot sure isn’t!
I don't blame individuals for not knowing, but I definitely think a lot of people'd be able to judge stuff better if they did.
