But the alcoholic might need the drink more than food, and the drug addict might need the drugs more than a place to live. Perhaps not being sick for a couple more hours is the best thing for them at that moment. I'm not suggesti

Emacs out of the box works. Unfortunately there is a misconception that you need a 10kloc init.el to be productive. Worse still are the opinionated configurations targeted at newbs.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling f

In English, nouns can be used as adjectives. e.g. School bus, ticket office, computer mouse, apologist answer. "Apologetic" has connotations of regret. I think this confusion might lead some people to take "apologist" as

Perhaps you could see it as justified and something to feel sad about.

I agree with you as long as we are talking about this blog post and not about Knuth's article or McIlroy's critique, which I don't have access to. Knuth republished both, so they must have some things to say about Literate

Smoother, lighter, and more flexible than a less dear Panama hat. The bucket is almost certainly lighter than both, if you're looking to relieve your neck from its tremendous burden. ljw1001 was comparing watches by their ostensive p

Oh but there was VMS and Lisp and others that are gone, with all the ideas. All replaced by the Unix way. The Unix way is gone, too. Linus should be given some credit for that as well. BTW, Gnu's "Hello" is 709k.
