> I don't feel that I'm homeless in the virtual space. I simply don't inhabit it That's refreshing. Frankly, I think there's something pathological about it when people conflate online media with places.

I'd believe it. I got shitlisted at one place for being the only dev with the mathematical insight to know that multiplying pesos by a dollars:yen ratio doesn't yield a correct conversion of pesos to yen. They let that one slide w

I was confused too, but this actually explains it pretty well: http://www.5z8.info/freeanimalporn.com-start-download_s2e9hb...

The pitch doctoring rule is an anachronism. It's a leftover from when they'd use the same ball until it was brown and falling apart. From before stadium lighting. They blamed the spitter for killing a guy who couldn't see it

My understanding is that it's actually the opposite of what you're thinking. Small scale wasn't an issue because wood type was used for large letters. This is because large scale was an issue for metal type, which could cool

Even that is only true if you're coming from a system where branch, tag, and checkout mean something else.

It could be hard if you never took Discrete or another course that introduces graph theory. Or if you cheated your way through or barely scraped by. I can see how a CS freshman or someone from another field might struggle, but even then i

It might work in Dragonball, but IRL they would probably come back with wrecked joints and compressed spines. Not to mention whatever effects you'd get from having blood rushing to your feet and away from your brain.

Heads up: that's probably peameal back bacon and not the pork belly bacon you're expecting.

My preferred editor font. No code should ever be taken so seriously that you wouldn't render it in Comic Mono.

Thanks. That's a really helpful perspective.

I don't know. For example, I'm not even active on Twitter but rabid social media lynch mobs scare the hell out of me. Sometimes an imaginary group of people imagines itself into existence and decides you will be the main character

I think the author did the right thing by being transparent about the incident. IP trolls need to be exposed, disgraced, and defanged. We don't need another SCO.

This is the "never using r-pl-t again" nail for me. I never understood what people meant in online arguments when they accuse others of centering themselves. Now I get it.

So is the conversation now split into a preunretweeted half and a postunretweeted half, or is it a retrounretweeting where we act like it never happened?

IMHO it's better if we convert it to the strongest form of the argument: > The lesson for me here is to internalize that even though I'm just an unfrozen caveman lawyer, I still have a responsibility towards our community and s

This is an Anti-Pattern in OSS. Start a project to build something you want/need. Update it as you want/need more things, but don't build other people's businesses for them.

Pretty sure "Hello World" develops a major security vulnerability in a dependency you didn't know about if you go two weeks without looking at it.
