Only six years ago, China built the world's longest bridge, connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau.

Today:
"Grandma went to Zhongshan on the new bridge."
"But you said she went through Shenzhen, did you mean Zhuhai?"
"No! There's another new bridge!"

June this year (TIL), the Shenzhen-Zhonshan Link opened, half as long as the HK-ZH-MO Bridge (HZMB), but still very impressive to see, stretching past the horizon, only 32 km north of the HZMB and only 27 km south of Humen Bridge.

It takes a lot of links to build a one-hour region for 60M+ people! Every week is infrastructure week.

It’d be nice if Rust IDEs automatically added debug_handler in Axum projects for better compile-time error messages.

Italian 'sì', Spanish 'sí' and many more Romance words for "yes" come from Latin 'sīc', which meant "so; thus; like that". In Popular Latin it got an extra meaning: "yes", born out of the sense "like that", i.e. "like you said".

French 'oui' has a completely different origin. It comes from Old French 'oïl', a univerbation of 'o il', literally "yes, it (is/does/has etc.)".

'O' stemmed from Latin 'hoc' (this), which became 'òc' (yes) in Occitan, whose name was derived from this very word.
