I'm seeing a general push for longer lines. I no longer religiously hold Java code at 80 personally.

Sorry, I was sloppy with language just to riff on his words. Of course you are right. I wanted get at the subtext of boxing being exploitative, in particular where it is comparable to something like bullfighting. Are we really aiming for a

Plenty of people think eating animals is barbaric.

by alayne 10y ago
It's not barbarism when it's consenting adults. Bulls and bears do not consent.

We're talking about limiting the actions of government here. It's hardly a "tantrum".

I think he's had that HN redirect for years. He is blocking hotlinking directly to files. Try https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/

Most dentists aren't making $600k per year. I just think OP was being a little bit generous with who is in the 1%, particularly if you look at net worth which is a better metric.

I got the 8 million from here http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/17/measuring-the-t... Feel free to cite a better source.

I have H-1B coworkers that are not particularly highly skilled or in those fields.

And H1Bs are used primarily for hiring people in those fields?

Sublime Text is proprietary closed source. That seems counter to modern Unix/Linux goals.
