Isn't that exclusively what that indicates?

It's a university in a French speaking region for one.

Not quite: it's a collab between both ETHZ (Zürich, German speaking) and EPFL (Lausanne, French speaking). According to the website, the actual hardware is distributed all over the country (including in the Italian part).

Name a single metropolitan area in the US with infrastructure on par with any single European one.

New York City. Compared to small cities like London, Paris, or Rome there are areas where it's not on par, but its multimodal transport, energy, heating, water, sanitation systems is larger and more comprehensive than most cities in Europe.

We have to pick some metrics, but I bet per capita buses and train cars are dwarfed by even cities well below the tiers you listed compared to NYC.

Buses and train cars are a small part of infrastructure, regardless of whether it's the only part of infrastructure certain information ecosystems speak to. But sure. $30 billion per year over many decades for those parts, in one city, provides pretty extensive systems that don't even make sense in smaller cities.

And I will find even smaller US cities with even better metrics.

I love the name (from zellige): (architecture) A form of terracotta tilework covered with enamel in the form of chips set into plaster, characteristic of Moroccan architecture.

Cool, I didn't know that. It always makes me think of Zellig, the Woody Allen movie.

Makes me think of Intellij

In every parallel universe where a different person invents bitcoin, every single one is familiar with becks ideas from a decade earlier.

I have opposite opinion, that using an alternative layout on a standard keyboard is a greater improvement that a split keyboard. Coming from someone who uses colemak on a split column staggered aka as ergo as it gets. When I have to use my laptop keyboard its not so much worse.

Colemak objectively better than workman for same finger bigrams. Also installed by default on more computers.

What's marathon?

One of the original shooters where you're a Marine getting orchestrated by a series of warring AI at different stages of rampantcy.

Lol terminal is better for everything except maybe the one case you mentioned: first time use feature discovery, and that's debatable

That seems a little harsh. GUI tools can give us a more vibrant and useful interface.

But, I think the main problem is that although there have been many attempts we have not gotten to a standard way to compose different GUI tools easily or repeat actions.

I spend half or more of my time debugging and I think I would quit if I were forced to only use terminal based tools.

I am sure you would!

In the past three weeks a couple of projects I follow have implemented AI tools with their own github accounts which have been doing exactly this. And they appear to be doing good work! Dozens of open issues iterated, tested and closed. At one point i had almost 50 notification for one projects backlog being eradicated in 24 hours. The maintainer reviewed all of it and some were not merged.
