Yeah I agree. I think transient is one of the less appealing things about magit and isn't really very emacs-y. Also, you still have to memorise them anyway

Not my experience with bakeries in rural France, which I have more experience with than Paris. I’ve spent much more time trying these things in rural France than in Paris. I can say that Nice was good though It’s much easier to find better

I’m often surprised at how strong these things run. And while I would prefer to use a mac than anything else for a few reasons, I find it very strange when my boss praises me for being the only one who is happy making sure our software work

> exercise of utter worship It’s insane to me that you deify their computers so much. It’s just the only popular computer company that has a coherent set of high level APIs and good hardware. It’s sad that they’re the only one but it doe

I love everything about the new design

> Why not use a faster language in the first place? Well for the obvious reason that there isn't really anything like a Jupyter notebook for C. I can interactively manipulate and display huge datasets in Python, and without having t

Well, that's not true at all. Scientists care about performance, but it turns out that Python is really good for number crunching since it is really good for using very fast C libraries. I know people who use pandas to manipulate huge

Every time someone says this I ask them “what is your solution for maintainable software architecture?” And they say “what is software architecture? I just write code”

I had the same but it wasn’t even edgy like on X, really just sad twee millennial American politics commentary

I’m British and definitely not. I only saw the new notes because I went out of my way to find them

How do you know someone goes to Berghain? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you

This is just a short rant, more like a tweet, and should not be here

Yeah everyone seems to have horror stories that pushed them to Apple, and of course there are some more minor horror stories from Apple too but they just don’t reach the same height for most users

I find it weird how often these takes act like the AirPods are some kind of terrible failure rather than one of the most successful Apple products

I’m really impressed at how usable that visualisation is on mobile. It’s also really great aesthetically. Japanese artists can still do the best sci fi designs about

It’s the market rate in my city in Germany (not Berlin not Munich). I pivoted from non CS academia and entered software at 73k

I can’t imagine why someone would want to work for a specific company. Even team to team can go from terrible experience to great experience

Really refreshing to read this. Sometimes I feel like an alien among the weird for having gone over to the “dark side” (to the normies)

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be demanding when this refusal negatively affects a lot of other rust software
