I also try to work effectively but quietly, but an epiphany I had after working on a couple of technically interesting problems I thought were a big deal but were met with "k, thanks, bye" after being finished was the question: &q

I also imagine the things I search most rarely may be the most pressing compared to the ones I do all the time (as an individual, the things I search most often, I probably know where to go to find the info directly -- API docs and such).

This assumes the breadth of "things I will ever want to search in the future" is contained in whatever these "people" consider to be useful knowledge. Should we create such a group and have them thoughtfully consider eve

Do you have a link to official publications saying this?

There's an easy enough way to prove or disprove this: fork the project, rename it, and overtake the original product in quality/features.

Isn't this by definition not blameless?

One day, this reasoning will formalize the use of "would/could/should of" and I will rage quit English as a language.

I guess it depends on the person. I have a Samsung tablet, and would rather it was running the stock Android launcher. I also detest that there are (Samsung or otherwise) apps on there I do not want to use and cannot uninstall.

Yes? What's this question supposed to imply? No one should use Gnome?

Are their phones that bad? I have never bought any of their flagships (typing this on an X30), but I've found that the phones are excellent for their price point, plus they put pure Android on them, which is quite rare these days for n

The extremely wealthy (think Koch and friends) probably have done a lot worse by influencing the world to remain dependent on fossil fuels much longer than it should have. If the strides we are making now were made in the 80s, we would be

I always assume that once you're in, it's hard to push you out or increase rent unreasonably. How close to market rate was the flat priced when you moved in?

If a space telescope is delivered to astrophysicists for use without being able to do what a telescope should do, hell yeah that's misleading. There's a massive difference between "I want to build thing x -> I'm build

I will set aside money during my productive years and pay for food when I'm old. Just because the food is not made by fruit of my loins doesn't mean I'm being a parasite.

I think my comment was probably unclear. My problem is the comparison of the reported lines of code between the Debian Project and Oberon OS. The reported lines of code for debian include everything in the repos. The OS, compilers, interpre
