This is of course anecdotal but one of the reasons I never got into emacs is because every person I’ve met who was really into it was a pathological tinkerer. I’ve worked with people who got no work done in half a day because they were rema

The claim was "death rates in America are almost entirely the unvaccinated by now", which is correct. And cases are going up. Excess mortality, in the past few months no less, is completely irrelevant, not only in scope of time bu

The price of anything is what two people agree upon, right? So if you pay me 10 dollars to get 9 dollars in 30 years, that means we're betting against eachother: you think the economy is going to tank and only losing 1 dollar will be

To be fair, if you mean that these changes are “bloat” and that git should be kept “simple” (not easy but non-complex), I don’t think this has much to do with Linus, because as far as I know he’s no longer involved in the development of git

The whole point was that "given this assumed rare bug, one can know it's pretty rare". Whether the example is actually rare enough is completely beside the point. If it's not rare enough for you, replace it. The argument

"For the sake of argument" does not mean "I invite you to debate this", it means the exact opposite: "let's assume this is correct/we agree/etc. for a while and debate what comes after". So in th

I believe pricing is one of the most important decisions any business can make, and $5 does not make any sense to me. You're probably betting that this is a niche game that likely will take you more time than its worth in sales: in tha
