It sounds to me like your wife's reaction was not actually about the tea. If she described that as "too controlling", that likely indicates she perceives you as too controlling overall. Regardless of the truth of her percepti

Projects I work on wind up with a bin/ directory containing any number of little helper scripts and tools. With direnv that dir can automatically be first in your PATH when you're in the project, but not on it at all when you&#x27

I'm glad to hear Ardour is working well for you. I honestly had assumed it wouldn't be making much income, though I now realize that was based on just about no information (the sole data point I had was that it worked poorly for m

Exactly. Any product you produce must include full source code, at which point anyone can legally post all your code on the internet. So - very difficult to build a commercial software product with it.

I personally think I owe it to other people to object when they promote ideas that seem clearly false to me. I could be mistaken about their idea's falsity, or they could be mistaken about its truth, but we'll never get closer to

The first time I saw the Canyon in person I kinda went "Oh, cool." I think I was 16. I saw it again a decade later, and got an overnight permit to hike and camp at the Indian Garden campground. I have never seen anything more awe-

It might not be as easy as you'd hope to rebuild. This essay does a good job of explaining why it's probably possible in principle and why in practice it might be quite difficult: https://aeon.co/essays/could-

Deflect much? If you know of an IDE that has anything like smart-dash-mode, I'd be very interested to hear about it.

Keep in mind that all the easily-mined coal, oil, and gas deposits have been used. We might be kinda screwed if something takes out civilization (e.g., the nukes fly). I guess we can hope that nuclear winter is exaggerated or non-existent a

If so, it was a poor one - the Deplorable Word kills every single person on the planet but the speaker. Not a hint of MAD in sight.

I absolutely see ads for the ErgoDox EZ. Granted, I bought one and have put another in the shopping cart multiple times, so they probably have good reason to advertise to me. They know I'm a paying customer who's flirting with pay

That's weird. I use package.el and it only ever updates when I ask it to. The solution to this is too keep your elpa/ directory under version control. I use this hacked-up script to help me do that: https://github.com&#

Because I'm talking about founders and how much control they have over the tools they bring into being. Acts of God are a better model for that than business decisions. Some users will abuse the snot out of it, and a small start up may

Why even ask? Founders don't really have much control over what the tools they create wind up being used for. Assume that some people will use any tool you encounter for the worst thing it can possibly do. If the tool has significant p
