i took it as maybe an attempt to try to catalyse change upstream in Git. i hope i have a commit so controversial someone blogs about it 13 years later. i'd be equally happy to respond with a defense or concession. :) it struck me as an

sorry you're being downvoted. hypocritical, really. i assume you are being downvoted because you are preaching faith: something you feel which is hard to quantify and prove. I call this behavior hypocritical because I'm sure none

the other price is creativity. some ideas don't translate well- or can't translate to English. when logic and language becomes your core cognitive filtering mechanism, you start filtering "nonsense", as defined within th

if we use a liberal definition of "computer and programming literacy", then it's just as much a requisite for math as it is TeX. if we use a conservative definition of "computer and programming literacy", then it&#x

if you use redux-actions your reducer can use an action reference directly- not its "type" string. developing this way I don't need to store references to these "constants" and they're only ever relevant when l

i'm all for computers diagnosing things, just a little concerned with the ethics of "researching" at Facebook-scale.
