There is no right answer. It just depends on convention. It’s like color vs colour, neither has been shouted down from the heavens to be the only way to write something, it depends on culture.
I believe they do mean the fact that subtraction is just adding the negative and division is just multiplying by the inverse. You can look up field axioms to see how real arithmetic is really defined. It’s much more convenient to have two operations instead of four.

Another commentee has already said that Artemis is a political stunt. I believe it’s worked magnificently. Space travel is being used to whitewash USA’s reputation and at the same time display the US’ continued military and technological dominance. It’s another message to all other countries in the world that they are going to stay slaves to US imperialism and dictatorship.
As shown by the comments here, the USians have no problem with their government if they get to see shiny new nerd pictures.
The flag -y refreshes the package list (like apt update). For some reason, you use the flag -yy to force it to clear the whole package list and redownload everything.
To allow package downgrades when upgrading you use -uu.
These are very commonly suggested fixes to arch package management problems, for example when you leave your arch install to suit for too long, it will be impossible to update it because of dependency problems. So you google it and people are saying to run “pacman -SSyyuu” or other such commands.
Those additional options should be their own flags, command line flags should be idempotent (it should flip a switch on, doing it multiple times shouldn’t change anything).
Pacman flags not being idempotent (-SS, yy, uu and such existing) is so unbelievably horrible that I can’t use arch just because of it.

Night in the Woods touches on a lot of similar ideas as Firewatch, but from a different angle. One of the GOAT games for sure.
