I don't use emacs (except for rendering orglatex) or vim (ever, I do use vi, though!), you're just pattern matching onto "an emacs/vim war" because you want to.

You're not saying what you think you're saying with those facts.

You accidentally used markdown as an example of a plain text format, and programmers have a trapped prior that everything uses markdown, so even putting it after TeX won't avoid this sort of comment.

I am flabbergasted by how irrelevant this reply is. I am agreeing with the original comment. Why would you post that? What is wrong with you?

The point of vim is to be vi but with more features. It's not to configure it however you dang well please. If this were the point, which it isn't, you could use emacs, which can be configured in vastly more dang ways. Including w

That's the whole point of emacs; there is no point to vim, then.

The annoying muddy-low-contrast meme was popularized on screens which were already low contrast. The people doing it wanted that look.

If there's an "m" it's not portable vi and that's a fraud anyway.

You think "true, but what does this author have to say about that?" and continue on to read the rest, that's how.

No, I meant that part to be a little mean, and I wouldn't be upset if the other poster had taken offense at that; it's a tradeoff. I'm offended that they emitted actual word salad at me followed by a random (and actually wild

I think this is right; the chaos of shifting or contradictory requirements can leave scars on the physical codebase reflecting this history, and so can attaining a better understanding of the problem from working on it, if one isn't ca

I'm sorry I replied; I thought you were confusedly misinterpreting the article by reading something about cargo-cult practices into it, but I now think you're just sort of emitting nonsense, and so it turned out to have been point

You sound like you saw the phrase "Right Way Guy", felt it sounded pejorative (it's more gently poking fun at a common thing), and decided it must mean That Type Of Guy I Don't Like. The article is referring to the foibl

Gas stations denominate in thousandths of a dollar, for which there is no coinage.

Yeah, you misunderstood the question; sendmail refers a specific piece of software and source of a lot of sysadmin trauma.

If you ask on / search the history of the mailing list, you'll see that in complex merges with synthetic intermediate parents it can produce some really gnarly output, which is the main reason why (coupled with git's general

zdiff3 is NOT "better", it's a matter of personal preference. it moves common lines out of the conflicted hunks, which may be highly confusing. some people use it anyway

This is really polemically overstating the case, but at least it links to the mailing list threads where you can see what's actually going on. Not that anyone will click them.

It's pretty entertaining how the pro-Altman firehose turned off like a light switch after a couple days of all discussion being choked in an endless stream of Altman praise. At least Adam Neumann is a weirdo with a personality.

No dotcom fortune, just a failed startup that lost its investors money assuming it ever had an expense in its lifetime. OpenAI might in fact be the first time Altman has been in the vicinity of an object-level success; it depends on how you

a github pull request isn't a pull request; a pull request is an email from one of linus torvalds' direct underlings (subsystem maintainers) to linus torvalds "requesting" that he "pull" (hence the name) some t

push to deploy can be made okay by giving it promoting-a-version semantics, with the advantage of having a deploy-history graph, but the concept as it's typically described and the way it's used in practice push people towards b
