Git is an awful tool but for most use cases it's much better than CVS, SVN, or perforce or something. I wish the docs weren't so abysmally bad, and I wish it did a better job abstracting away the internals. I don't have time

Indeed. In my old job, the number of times I'd hear "criss, j'ai fucké cette affaire la" or similar was beyond measure.

I really think Lisp's strength is also its biggest weakness. It's so flexible that it causes massive fragmentation. Everyone has their own toy interpreter. There's a massive schism between Lisp and Scheme. Nobody really s

I get about 940 megabit down with Telus, on Vancouver Island. Not on speed tests but pulling down torrents, etc. Close enough to gigabit that I don't sweat the delta.
