If any candidate had done this at a place I was unhappy, I'd have told the truth. Honestly, a lot of candidates are drinking kool-aid by the time they walk in the door.

> Startups are not a good place to do research I saw Alan Kay give a talk on Squeak in NYC when I was a little Sega Genesis kid... he made me want to be a programmer because I hoped one day to work on the stuff he does the way he does it

If you want your vote to have any chance of affecting the outcome you have to pick the dem or the gop because one of them will win. Nobody else can afford to win. A lot has to change before our votes really mean anything, and nobody in po

Settlers of Catan was my first modern board game and will always have a special place in my heart Carcassonne is pretty easy and fun too. Edit: My phone corrected "Catan" to "Satan"

I have a hard time getting on the same page as the author. How is a protocol where the owner charges for usage and rewards particular actions with a currency they own "open"? If we are distinguishing between "open" and

Calling evil mode heresy is the same as saying "I wish fewer people used Emacs." Why continue the holy war? You've won many vimmers over... why marginalize us?

With all respect, I disagree. For me rebase has identical difficulty but more flexibility. You could call that "much more complex" and I can call it "just as easy but way more powerful" and we'd both be right, I s
