not only in Sweden, in Germany and Switzerland as well. I guess it has the same origins in the trade unionist purchasing cooperatives at the turn of the century from the 19th to the 20th
Same. On Google Docs it auto-corrects to an en-dash (–), which is annoying, but I find the double dash (--) more easy to spot and read on computer screens.
Also, cosmetically I don't really like how em-dashes are used without spacing (e.g. "this—then that" instead of "this — then that"). Feels like we're trying to import publishing styles from newspapers and books heavy on serif font to places where monospace and sans-serif is the norm and it doesn't quite fit well.
i often find xargs ends up biting me, and i have wanted some alternative for a while... but i don't think this is the one for me.
it feel like the syntax here is odd. it still requires me to write quote my command i want to run? unfortunately i'll have to pass on this.
personally i'd want some variant where i can still auto-complete commands and have just have {} as a placeholder. (maybe time to learn how to use xargs for real?)
