Let's say I want to retire my laptop to my kid, so I reformat it. Are you saying in the eventuality that federal police then wants my laptop that I have committed a crime? If so, on that assumption, should no one ever be able to erase

I prefer TUIs personally, but I can't see myself use maps, or visual image editing in a TUI for example, but is vi infinitely faster than vscode for manipulating a codebase? Absolutely. Anything that lends itself to keyboard input, pip

If age of conventions is a valuable metric, TUIs have more. The keyboard hasn't change noticeably, and I can work way faster between separate windows/panes in a terminal and tmux, than in various GUI windows, where mouse focus dic

My pushback on that would be that all of the "engineering" concering a rewrite was already done the first time around. It's a glorified translation. I do agree that the port would've taken a lot longer without LLMs thoug

Then you also accept that the asymptomatic (unvaccinated) covid risk of myocarditis is higher than the vaccine risk, because it is.

If we accept your (extremely unrealistic) premise, then sure, but the numbers get worse at just a 5% chance of contracting the virus itself, and downhill from there.
