No one is suicidal, but escalation don't always work according to logic. It's people making decisions, and people are emotional. Another thing to consider is, if you're the one up top, perhaps pressing the red button and livi

My father's family was from a village which when invaded by Germans, seen half its population shot (probably worse than just shot, I imagine). Shall we go back and back and back in history, and when exactly do we stop so that the quest

Suckless.org is merely a subjective catalog. Not a bad one, but for a tiling Window Manager, which I have to recompile every time I want to change its settings and need to somewhat know C for that - because what if I don't - that hardl

ALSO: how convenient that a submission with > 100 upvotes appeared at the very top and merely a few minutes later was not even on the frontpage (I have nothing to do with the original post, nor this submission of it). You know guys, you

Since the author mentioned webpages/webapps, to that I'd like to add that the insanity of both backend, but especially frontend frameworks has gotten out of hand. Forget it that I literally hate React more than I hate any other fr
