It's a shame you didn't apply the same level of scepticism to the OPs links and siblings half truths. BTW did you know Linux and BSD are also written by neonazis? You're welcome The Internet.

Don't both perspectives make sense? If you are working on a relatively small or modular codebase for a long period of time Torvalds perspective makes sense, since the codebase will also benefit from that kind of introspection (ok Linux

Yeah I use i3, but make explicit shortcuts sparingly (pretty much only a terminal shortcut), muscle memory has it's limits, and a lot of mine is consumed by vim.. For the rest, dmenu.

Provided the source is reasonably organised the configurable variables etc are likely separate enough from any code you would care about patching. Patch applying is quite robust, you do not need the code to be identical, the line numbers do

I've been using dmenu for ~10 years now :) can't imagine opening programs in a simpler or more efficient way.

The author is quite good at writing, some of his blog posts are my favourite, the content, the tone, the style, the language.

True yes, i was exaggerating, but there is a pressure to accelerate the transition, and a perception by the general public and policy makers that the faster the better. Even with the ideal EVE battery solution the environmentally optimal so

I think this has been discussed to death, the TL;DR is that H2 is fundamentally really difficult to store safely and efficiently at reasonable densities and temperatures. This is not something that is likely to improve with technology or sc

They should never be allowed to own or invest any business again, in part of full, for the rest of their lives (including as an indirect beneficiary via family or friends). On top of a hefty personal monetary penalty... bring them back down

The "more" is implying something of substance. Reading online doesn't feel like reading. Most offline material is long form and has a clear purpose, otherwise it wouldn't continue existing. When you read it you are more

I have a quest2, I don't think it's anywhere near comfortable enough yet for prolonged use such as development. I've tried watching films in it and even that can get a bit too uncomfortable. As you say they are still a bit he

Oh you're right. it just considers them all multiplications, sometimes powers. Only other difference I can see then is >1 contiguous letters in the UUIDS that didn't trigger it, maybe variables have to be single letter.

by tomxor 4y ago
Those aren't valid expressions. It's when there aren't any numerals after a letter, then the letters can be interpreted as variables and the numerals coefficients (for each term separated by a subtract).

Correct, more generally the problem is often absolutism, and presenting or applying ideas as absolute truths. All of the ideas have merit, they have cases where they work wonderfully, and a lot of places where they do not. This issue extend

That's not representative though. Imagine if the whole world refused to use any car older than 2 years... how many cars would have to be made every year? even if that made any economic sense, it certainly doesn't make any environm

You can pull my analogy to pieces all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that you are using apple-webkit, when you use any browser on iOS, not gecko, not blink... and unlike a car, the browser engine makes up 99% of what the brow

All of those things are ancillary except for privacy (even though privacy capability is closely tied to the browser engine these days). It's like saying it must be a Cadillac... "but I can choose the seat colours and stereo so tha

it doesn't matter what it's called, the underlying engine of any "browser" app available on iOS is apple-webkit. Because you aren't allowed browser engines on iOS, Apple rules, it's all a bunch of skins. Apple
