Also, I would argue that, if your own train of thought is at risk of being derailed by a person interrupting in order to protect their own train of thought from derailing ... then (assuming you're not aware of it and doing it intenti

Mentioning the other person's name is a personal pet peeve of mine, after having met too many people who seem to think that doing so repeatedly somehow gives them a powerhandle over the conversation.

Let's face it. Chrome is the new Internet Explorer. Especially when it comes to google and microsoft websites 'extending' the standard. They may not be using explicit "Works best with Internet Explorer" stickers, bu

Arguably they are different things. Shirky principle states that stakeholders will prefer solutions that keep them relevant, over solutions that would solve the problem conclusively, but in a manner that makes their existence no longer rele

Mocking is an indeed an anti pattern ... when dealing with tests that pretend to be unit tests but are not actually unit tests (e.g. needing to be aware if IO edge-cases, to quote the article). But tests that are not actually unit tests mas

I wish numpy pushed their structured arrays (and thereby also improvements to their interface) more aggressively. Most people are simply unaware of them, which is why we get stuff like pandas on top of everything.

By definition your expert is not an expert. An expert would have a pretty decent idea how and what kind of pitfalls to prepare for, even if the specifics are largely undefined. Otherwise your expert is simply a neophyte on this context, eve

There's a very implicit assumption in this text that the encyclopedia you buy in 2024 does NOT contain all sorts of AI-generated stuff. Not sure I have that much faith in the world anymore to trust that to be true.

Not sure if it's a bug, but I get different libraries from ldd and libtree for the vim example (e.g. linux-vdso.so.1 appears top of the list on ldd but not at all on libtree)

I'd say between a stupid result out of ignorance or risky defaults, vs a stupid result out of explicitly being stupid and overriding sane defaults, the latter is probably safer. Also, exceptions (particularly checked ones) are not a s

The term "rare" disease should be replaced by "rarely diagnosed" disease. The difference is subtle but hugely important.

The simple answer is "no", in the same way there's no need to write a python script if you really like java. For a non-trolling answer though, for me iy's the ease with which nano's macros can be used and the easy s

I don't know why people gripe so much about the default keybindings. I used them for like 3 days before realisimg they are easy and make sense. I'm now in the reverse situation; these "modern" keybindings feel really clu

This is not a bug, this is a feature. One of nano's best in fact. What you say is not true except in the case of consecutive cuts. So this is a way of cutting multiple consecutive lines without requiring a visual selection. If you don&

Actually, in this particular case, switching OSes is probably the best solution. Matlab supports linux, so a dedicated linuxbox for simulations without all the bloat and clutter makes perfect sense.
