Of course. If you define a term differently than the majority, you'll find to wonder why everyone uses that term incorrectly (from your PoV). "Western" with a capital W is different from "western" with a lower-case

The problem with endtime's argument is that it's a non-sequitur. It comes down to: > There is a country where government-run healthcare is bad. Therefore a proposed government-run healthcare system is probably also bad. This si

Not sure if /s :) With a FUSE filesystem, you're still incurring the syscall overhead that's causing this performance disparity in the first case, plus now the kernel has to context-switch into the FUSEing process. So what

From a quick glance, my issue with Tree Notation would be that it's not enough syntax, i.e. it does not provide enough structure for me to grasp the overall structure with a cursory glance. Maybe it would work better if GitHub had a sy

If possible, prefer what tools in your vicinity use. My team uses Kubernetes and Concourse extensively, which both use YAML, so I tend to stick with YAML since people are already familiar with it. (More recently, I've come around to pr

Verbosity certainly is an issue with XML, but far from the only one. IMO the main problem of XML is that it was designed as a markup language, but then misused as a data structure serialization language. When used as a markup language, the

Do you think that, if the Nazis come to power and there are no censorship laws, the Nazis will just shrug and say "too bad that the government cannot change laws"?

That's actually a more fitting comparison. When Starfleet talks to the Borg, it's a singular voice coming from the general direction of the Borg ship. But when Rick talks to Unity, she uses one person at a time to talk, switching
