To be fair to GP, an error bar of 3±300 is still a quantifiable epsilon. Utterly useless, but quantifiable.

Neovim just gets in the way. I observe the machine code directly through my sacred bond with the machine spirit. And the holy mechanical tentacles connected to my visual cortex.

It's the biggest plastic producer complaining about plastic input (oil) sabotaging a plastic deal. I can sen China dumping oil for power generation but there is no way they will switch plastics production on a dime.

Weakening the orphan rule would probably wreck too many crates. It's one of those changes that sounds great on paper but is a nightmare in practice.
