This is a really good point that I definitely failed to grasp when first hearing about these tools. At least for me, the best way to use these tools is as a way to free myself from having to spend time thinking about the things that aren&#x

Maybe I'm just less popular than your friend (or have better filters set up for my notifications), because on average I look at my watch maybe three or four times an hour. On the other hand, even with no phone or watch around, I will b

You're making it sound like suggesting that "blog posts" are a category of "writing" is some sort of random arbitrary choice on my part, and yet you've still refused to elaborate on how or why you think they&#x

Verbatim, you said: > The social convention is for conversations. > How is a thank you supposed to precede it in a blog post? That's a pretty clear distinction between a blog post and conversations. Now you're saying: > B

From my perspective, what you're saying sounds like nonsense. I'm not sure why you're more concerned with my karma than I am, but since you're curious: no, I did not spend much time thinking about the one singular downvo

It literally can't precede it, that's the entire point that's being made; it sounds rude in a blog post because the social expectations are being violated . When social convention says a phrase is rude in certain circumstanc

Whoops, good correction, I did misremember public option versus single-payer, and I guess technically Liberman was not a Democrat at that point, but he had been for a while up until shortly before then and still had committee chair position

For what it's worth, Obama did actually initially consider a public option[0]; it was Congress who made it clear that they wouldn't pass it that caused him to pivot to what we have now. [0]: edited from "single-payer" to

Most of society also doesn't require paying for indirectly via employer subsidy (driving up the cost to people who are between jobs or have money by other means). If your objection is to a system that operates differently than the rest

Fair enough. I imagine it's probably not hard to guess that I would similarly be in favor of fixing that!

Saying "you're welcome" without a "thank you" preceding will sound passive aggressive to quite a lot of people; it's the type of thing that a parent does to chide a small child who forgets their manners in the

Shell scripts on their own already are so perilous without static analysis. I'll never understand how we ended up deciding that embed them in yaml instead of requiring an external script file was a reasonable idea.

We're talking about healthcare, so you're essentially claiming that the reason the GOP has failed to repeal the ACA despite numerous opportunities is because they actually like the policy, not because they're afraid of the po

I mean, the original plan for what became ACA was single payer. They didn't have the votes from the moderate democrats though, which is why the "private plans on public exchanges" became a thing instead. You're not wro

At the risk of stating the obvious, there are a lot of legal rights that are human-specific (voting, holding office, filling lawsuits, etc.). It's not at all obvious why you think that you as a human being legally allowed to learn fr

The idea of being able to quickly switch a bike back and forth between a regular one and an e-bike seems cool. They lost me at the "smart" though...

Interesting, thanks for the context! I hadn't realized it was mobile-only, which is probably part of why I hadn't realized it existed. And yeah, it does seem like they maybe didn't know what they were talking about if the eng

What other examples of companies paying for something specific to be developed outside of their ongoing paid support contract can you point me to? I'm open to the possibility that this is more common than I realize, but I've yet t

To clarify, I'm not saying that support contracts are uncommon. I'm saying that going out of their way to then additionally sponsor development of a specific testing tool on top of the support contract is not something I've h

This feels a bit like asking why I would send my coworkers a Slack message instead of an email. For some things, send and wait for them to look at it is fine, but if I want to have a conversation, it's a lot less work to use something

Even if you're not both typing at once, being able to trade off quickly without having to manually pass the ownership back and forth has had value for me in the past.
