In many cases, the religious conflict is just a pretext for an underlying power struggle. The reformation of the Church of England by Henry VIII, for example, was blatantly a political decision, not a matter of religious conviction.

Yes. Tiberian Sun was the first PC game I owned and Westwood Online was the first service I needed a username for (aside from my email). It's been my handle since 1999.

If the software hasn't changed, then it was chock full of bugs when it was new, too. What has changed is that now you know what the bugs are. For a capsule UI, it seems to me that would be better than a new version with unknown bugs.

You'll also find a lot of Google search results for "tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified". I wish it was as simple as just calling tput, but you need to write a bunch of logic anyway.

If you run it in a directory that contains a file named `thing`, the command will not execute. You should be marking thing as `.PHONY`. It's really easy to specify things incorrectly in a Makefile and not notice for a very long time.

That doesn't seem like it would matter much on its own. You can pretty easily guess HN item IDs, too. e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25244871 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25244873

I'm in Canada, but I don't think I've ever seen a gas oven. All my ovens have been electric, and nearly all of them had a self-clean option.
