After I've patiently explained it to you, you really think that you aren't exhibiting the same behaviour? In a much more worse way because it comes in seemly guise?

Empathising with others and yourself isn't mutually exclusive. What's hard to grasp with that? > I empathise with myself first and will use what ever word feels right in the situation And you're doing the same right now. I

I've found that I can most easily express myself in Perl. I love the feeling that you can never truly exhaust the language. I hated the indentation at gunpoint and overall sterility of Python, and JavaScript is much more disjointed tha

Holy false dilemma, Batman! If that's your reading from what I said, you really can't be helped.

It's certainly about a feeling, and I think superiority has more to do with it than 'empathy'. This much is clear with the aggression, bullying and moral grandstanding that's usually behind the language police. I empathi

I think I lost it when they suggested we stop using the term 'sanity check' or 'sane defaults' because they might offend, well, brain damaged people. I am close to writing a browser extension that does a find and replace

The idea that you will be steadily productive 9-5, 5 days a week, for most months of the year, is a post-Industrial expectation. Our ancestors knew mostly "long" days that ended at 5, followed by "slow" days that ended a

At least Perl encourages a culture of documentation. Getting flashbacks to my job developing Python where I had to learn data structures by literally pausing them in the debugger after starting a big sync job. No docs, and no pointers as to

Perl is like the language of a sophisticated lost civilisation, its arcane incantations frightening to the current generation. But the achievements of that civilisation are unmistakable.

What did you do with it? I’ve always wanted to play with Irix . The UI looks very intuitive. The boxes are hard to find, so I went for emulation but I couldn’t get it any further than a boot screen in MAME.

I installed Snow Leopard on a 2009 MB for kicks and sent in a crash report when Safari died due to something on the modern web. I would love to know whether these still arrive at the fruit company.
