I remember back in the day, overly Unix people had a mantra, a filesystem is not a database which is kind of a non-sentence like a Macintosh is not a typewriter , also common at the time. The dominant storage technology then, disks, had

Post 0.5 neovim, vscode-neovim is great, well for me it is. But there were three problems. Command mode sucked but it's much better now. If I could close the results window with an escape character, that'd be just great. If you na

If you need to forget a bad HS English class, and most of us do, you might watch some of the excellent movies made from the Austen novels. Pride and Prejudice has been made at least 17 times including an excellent Bollywood version and a

P+P is rollicking fun and all the P+P movies are rollicking fun. I do however, prefer Persuasion . And I'll admit that I didn't spot that Clueless (which was awesome) was based on Emma until I heard something on NPR. I ju

Fibonacci is the poster child of hotspots. A JIT should be crushing an interpreter at Fibonacci as it is simple to generate good code for. Yes, it's just a microbenchmark; so you shouldn't make SPEC type conclusions from it. But y

Republicans need to take responsibility for their decisions. First, Republicans chose Trump in the primary. They had choices. They chose Trump. Then they supported him in the general. Then they supported him for re-election. That isn'

Biden has grown on me. Exiting Afghanistan helped. Were it not for Manchin and Sinema, his BBB package had a lot of progressive goals stitched in its fabric. He is, like Carter before him, an utterly decent man.

I think you'd be surprised that "not Hillary" wasn't on either the 2016 Republican primary ballot nor on the 2016 general election ballot. Trump was. He was also on the 2020 Republican primary and general election ballot

The detail of game 6 was just that, a detail. Most people thought Nepo would cave after a loss and that's what he did. Magnus proved with Karjack that he doesn't cave. I thought Caruana was a much better match up, and he held serv
