I think its worth mentioning that rust has the gold standard argument parsing library now: https://clap.rs That library is used by most(?) rust cli tools, so they all have a similar feel. In addition, there is a library built o

I use SpaceVim for everything! In a nutshell, its a "shared" configuration for vim (neovim really imho), as well as an extensable framework for adding new functionality. For example, its nice to have to have plugins offer similiar

Anecdotally, I didn't find the situation internally to be much better. Many bugs internally go unanswered because there is not enough time allocated to fixing core systems and designing better replacements. The truth is, I know persona

I found the premise to be compelling. I was also previously unaware of research surrounding the notion of bigotry. I would be curious what is known ("or found"?) about the relationship between bigotry and various economic factors.

First, let me clearly state that I agree that the "science" surrounding Koko was not great, and that her language abilities are consistently overstated. However, as someone who has met Koko I can also tell you that there is someth

I find this issue much more pressing in the defense industry. I (thankfully) have the freedom to choose where I work. I will never willingly work on weapon systems. There are those that do though. Engineers who design things to kill other p
