It provides a rare but obvious criticism which these people are sorely lacking. You can tell this is true by how many of them replied to it telling me that the placebo effect made them feel a lot better about this new editor. And of course

Whatever these things are, they can't be very impressive if they weren't worth putting on the front page. Can you tell me one of the new things? Because I can't find any.

Wow! A hundred megabytes? That'll be a huge struggle for my 2002 Never Obsolete(TM) eMachines PC with 15GB hard drive.

It's almost as if Texinfo is the solution to this problem.

How does anyone think this is real after seeing the Python bit?

How exactly does that change anything? It's being run on an increasing array, so the data is assigned every loop. Surely the comparison creates a dependency on the value of the variable which was assigned in the last loop.

You bring up Plan9 here as though it isn't in the same boat as Hurd. Hurd also has quirky file system stuff [1] and many other interesting and relatively novel features, but you seem to treat this totally differently from Plan9 with no

> I don't know why some people consider artificial intelligence rivalling and surpassing humans more dangerous than rocks with useful conductive properties. The person who had this thought should stop having more.

You don't need numbers to do that.

It seems like nothing of use is gained by replacing folder names with numbers that index those names aside from making the path shorter. In a library this is useful because books have to be stored physically in order, but a computer does no

Just finished this game. Great fun and a genuinely unique game amid a sea of mobile shlock.

I'm not sure that the game would work without this restriction. If you kept grip of the ball regardless of if your finger was on the path none of the game's puzzles would work since you could just move your fingers wherever you wa

Option types are inherently a bad idea for languages without value semantics. In rust, the Some variant of an option type can just be allocated on the stack at almost no cost, but doing this here would require a million small allocations ev

The UNIX philosophy is redundant. The only unique part of it is to use text for everything, which isn't a very good piece of advice. It only exists to cover for the mistakes of UNIX. The bulk of it is saying that you should apply the s

Large scale statistical analysis of words used in performance reviews is, to put it in the article's words, very unactionable feedback. How could you go about resolving this? The impression you get from a person is a very difficult thi

>This is autocracy No it isn't. The monarch's position is purely ceremonial. The queen doesn't pose even the slightest risk to democracy in the UK. She has no power to act outside of the government's will, just a bunc

This is wrong. The prime minister technically asks the queen to do everything, he is only an adviser to her. All of the PM's powers are actually the queens, if she was removed he would retain any of his powers (prorogation included). T
