On one side you were a employee, so he needs to treat you kinda like a regular employee. If what he did to you would be normal for another employee, then he has a point. Doing different could even be seem as unfair for the other employees.

How do you compare the value of these things with other things? In capitalism that is the role of price system. How 1 hour of house painting compares to 1 hour of dog walking, with 1 hour of a neurosurgeon, 1 hour of dish washing, of 1 hour

The problem is not ls. You use hundreds, thousands of commands, tools, programs, libraries every day, today is exa, tomorrow could be a different one, and then a different one. In 5 years you update your linux distribution and exa stop work

Great. So a researcher publishes their code, we can replicate it, find flaws, and correct it. If only every paper were like this. Congrats to the authors for making it easily accessible and the OP for trying to replicate and fix the problem

I agree with but and I find it difficult to avoid those types of comments myself, I need to try to control it. Something I found very cool was in one subreddit where the OP could tag the post to exclude any off topic comments, then comments

Completely agree with you, if reddit didn't provide anything useful it would be really easy to just leave it and go somewhere else. Reddit has built a massive community of users that everyone takes for granted, it may be easy to replic

Please tell me which currency does not suffer from inflation and lost most of its purchasing power over the last decades.
