Reminds me of Transport Tycoon bug where extra multiplication caused big cities to generate absurd number of passengers. Only few years ago it was fixed (as option) in OpenTTD. Fascinating how it went under the radar for 20 years and surviv

And some like xylitol are highly toxic to dogs, must be careful around them.

Most people learn it once and then they go around the city largely on autopilot. Some stress is there but more manageable. Doing on autopilot is not possible in large orgs, or if it's possible it's prone to make you feel unfulfill

How does anyone use that? Phones are already too thin to be comfortably held without inadvertently touching the edges of touchscreen.

Are you aware that the main issue here is not with string literals, but with glob expansions? Literals are quite easy to check statically as mistakes usually cause havoc with surrounding code syntax. Even so, I avoid nontrivial use of them.

There are ways, no idea why doing anything here is so reviled. Find and xargs can delimite filenames by NUL, which is not allowed in filenames. Best practice in SQL was to abandon parameters escaping completely and pass them out of band. F

I had some mandatory philosophy at STEM university. It utterly failed to evoke any intellectual curiosity, perhaps even inoculated us against trying to get interested. And don't let me start on history education.

Can you imagine the makefile was made by someone else and you are now suddenly confronted with the result of 10 years of tuning.

Oh that must have changed. `npm install typescript` output was totally scary some year or so ago.

It pulls so many dependencies and the npm situation is frequent topic of conversation here. And the hype makes it attractive target. No idea how MS and Gihub relate to that.

I consider myself quite promiscuous when trusting software but sometimes just can't. Seeing how signal desktop does 100MB updates every week, or the big ball of coalesced mud that is typescript compiler, made me avoid these. Why there

It affected early CD burners too. Which did not have large buffers nor underrun protection. They would write garbage when data stream was interrupted because any other software used system resources. Win95 was not exactly known to manage t

Leo editor allows to keep in sync its outline which combines your annotations and external files. Obviously it isn't bulletproof and needs maintenance when it can't merge external changes automatically. https://leo-edit

I would agree only if psychology caused some kind of progress to increase life expectancy or reduce violence. Which I'm not really aware of...so if not that, what was the improvement?

Not interested in blaming psychology or anything else. Just wanted to know why you sound so sure of that. Regardless of whether psychology is effective or not quite, I think epistemic hell is involved. Very good explanation: https:/&#

It's posible to draw such clear line? Surely, it's rather easy to convince oneself you have all your relationships nicely compartmentalized..till reality does otherwise.
