The entire point of Aeon is to write "longform explorations of deep issues". Not all--maybe not even most--content exists merely to transfer some tiny bit of information.

Yeah: to me, it really depends on the story being told, and frankly even then it might depend a bit on the proclivities and interests of the person reading the story. The one thing I'd say almost never works for reading code, though, i

So, I read your comment and realized that I think it made me misinterpret the comment you are replying to? I thereby wrote a big paragraph explaining how even as someone who cares about personal accountability within large companies, I didn

I do also believe it wasn't ever technically "statically linked", but the dynamic libraries were separately distributed as part of every app (and so I'd think the semantic slippage acceptable given the context). This h

That would've been a fair response, but you just kind of ignored that part of the comment you were replying to.

I don't understand how any of this makes sense given "and you hold patents".

I don't understand what makes this a "code" search and replace tool as opposed to a general text search and replace tool (a la the many many existing options for such). I was kind of expecting some kind of AST structure or gr

They wording was reversed, however; I took this to be an explicit and intended way of righting the scales for what had previously been written.

Or they decided to specifically take that wording and reverse it as a form of poetic justice on the original complaint?

The premise of "design patterns" tend to be tightly coupled with the design of the language you are in, and most things called design patterns are specifically things that make sense in Java.

Your buffer is too big: your terminal shouldn't be sitting there for half a minute, as it should be processing Ctrl-C immediately and unrelatedly to its screen updates and sending it, and the remote process should be blocked on a write

The issue is that usually these terminals mean "higher throughput" when they say "faster", not "lower latency". The lowest-latency terminal in every test is Xterm, often by a LOT. Alacritty for a long time was

SESTA and FOSTA go far beyond the lack of Section 230 by criminalizing even some scenarios where the operator is not using any editorial discretion, might not even have any access to the content in question, and isn't really "publ

This is nonsensical. First off, if someone illicitly uses your site for something Section 230 isn't what is protecting you from that: if I hack into your computers and inject a bunch of content onto it, you aren't somehow more

We need to start shaming the actual UX experts and engineers who build these systems, rather than letting them hide behind the ranks of the giant evil megacorps they empower.
