I cite Dickey's site often in documentation regarding terminal programming. I enjoyed learning about curses history and ESR being a dick http://invisible-islan

  That's really remarkable. ed: I admit this isn't the most, like, informative comment, but I don't see why it was downvoted.

  It's always remarkable finding new ways in which Eric Raymond is an ass.

    That whole thread stands in stark contrast to ESR's recent "I'm more reasonable and responsible than RMS" narrative.

    More delightful than remarkable -- Remarkable suggests something unexpected. ; ) That whole ncurses licensing thread is fantastic -- it takes a while to pick up steam, but around a quarter of the way down we start getting some gorgeously understated quotes to soak in. Of Zeyd: ... but he was still ~30k of diffs away from my version -- and his wouldn't work, because some of the diffs were pieces of bugs. So I told him there was no point in discussing it until he got in sync - I assume he's sulking. Of Eric: He also demanded a copy of my bug-list, which I declined. I did send Eric a copy of my bug list some time ago -- he responded with several patches that made the list longer by introducing more bugs -- so I'm rather reluctant to add to my overhead.
