Also, it's one of the rare remaining flagship-tier phone who still allows headphone jack, which is the main reason why I bought a Zenfone last year.

Oh, I haven't realized that the name of the book wasn't in English! It's "Des destinées de l’âme", which translates to "Of the fates of soul". From what I've gathered it's a writer/poet&#x2F

Well at least I would brag that I have a great-great-grandfather at Harvard :D. Joke aside, I see your point.

The binding of the book is part of it's value. It's an almost 150-old piece of skin. Everyone who interacted with that poor woman is long since dead. Everyone who interacted with someone who interacted with that woman is either de

So, with the same argument, nothing of value was lost when taliban destroyed the statues of Buddha, since we can read about those in books? There's value in physical artifact too, it's sad to destroy those out of righteousness. As

Well, if it's not a significant item, does it need to be changed in the first place, then? I agree though about passing things that could be preserved, but it usually involves a tradeoff, when things are too costly to maintain, or old

Because it's a fundamentally historicidal act, it's destroying some past artifact solely on the ground of contemporary morality. While not on the same level as, it's the same though process that leads to the destruction of bu

Another trick I use frequently is to map a shortcut to activate/deactivate the vim plugin on the fly, which allows me to keep using some non-vim shortcut and behavior (especially search or selection) without having to go deep into conf

It's in line with internationalization, shortened as 'I18n', while doing a cute play on world 'ally', not sure what the fuss is about.

So much this. I'm a Emacs guy, and still use it when staging/stashing/committing stuff, but when I rediscovered JetBrains tools, it was such a joy to use, I've used WebStorm (with Datagrip paid plugin) as my daily driver

True, but here lies thus the paradoxical thing about tools: a good tools is one that stays out of your way when you want to do something, while a bad tools is one that requires you to focus on itself instead of the underlying objective. Thu

Reminded me of that tech-oriented colleague who never heard of an NFT last year. It figured out it was best for him to continue that way.

No. Working on an efficient and product-oriented company can be a joy, and 100% capitalist. Working projects that are just politically driven, or where process took over common sense, that's depressing, capitalism or not.

Teams is nice enough when it works, but it tend to break far more than any other chat app I used. Stuff like getting the call notification (won't work on Firefox, I have to launch Chrome even though I can join a meeting on Firefox). Th

Imagine your therapist and your significant other had a mailing list where they expose all the confidences you said to them. If that's not privacy hostile, then honestly what is?

This, so much. I do like SPA also, but some of the nicest projects I've worked with could be run locally by launching `python3 -m http.server 8008' on the right folder. I'm happier when I can do something without a processing

Downvoted because holy cow you're out of touch with reality if you think that a $1M windfall, or even a 'meager' 40k/year wouldn't result in lifestyle change for a lot of people. I really don't want to be mea

Related to that, the "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" book is quite often featured as the go-to programming book in manga, creating the meme of the anime girl holding a copy of SICP.

Yeah but masculinity is also a good ideal to strive for, for you know, roughly half of the population. The key is that it's not the only ideal men (or women !) can strive for, and there are people blurring the lines, which is absolutel

Exactly. I had the luck of working with a codebase that knew how to harvest the power of vanilla CSS (though vanilla CSS in 2020 was already the same as vanilla CSS in 2014), and it's quite powerful. Add to that the browser devtools an
