Dear right-to-left script users, what behavior of arrow key caret motion do you prefer in a text editor?

"Logical" means Windows-style—cursor might jump and invert direction on bidi boundaries
"Visual" is macOS style—motion corresponds to arrow on the key

I wish the GNOME community would embrace one of two viewpoints:

- Code formatting does not matter
- Code formatting matters, and is *entirely* maintained and enforced by a tool (cf go fmt, rustfmt, black)

It's heartbreaking to see code reviews which ask only that the authors change things which have no semantic meaning. What a waste of limited time that we could spend on making the software work well.

Working on a new productivity technique I call "diffractive procrastination", in which I make progress on a task by putting a bunch of much higher-priority items ahead of it on the to-do list, then I put off working on those items.

The garbage fire that is iPad multitasking is a good example of what happens when you start with an oversimplified interface paradigm and then just bolt more complex stuff on later, because you're afraid of people rejecting change.
