This is only partly true. MRI technology came out of people hunting for aliens in space. The path science and discovery take are rarely as linear as the funders would like them to be.

I hope the irony that your argument is now the Bulverist one is not lost on you :D

Simple. I don't know emacs that well :) I didn't even know emacs had a terminal mode until I looked this up; my main experience with emacs was when I was writing prolog and the IDE was emacs based. I didn't find it as nice to

I appreciate your explanation, and clearly I did not mean to imply you didn't have good reasons for your decisions. I get the point about friction; however, I do wonder, rather than have two or more options appearing with equal weight

It's Bulverism because first you need to defend and establish that your proposition is true before you can start explaining "why" it is true. At the very least the title is clear Bulverism. Admittedly, I did enjoy the article

It's not just customisable, it's also insanely scriptable. Any action that you can do in nano itself corresponds to a command, and you can create "string macros" that you can bind to key combinations. Additionally it can

The big dark pattern in "subcription-vs-ownership" discussions is that it is treated as an either-or situation, when it doesn't have to be. In the past, subscription models were understood as a way to offer "loyal custom

That's actually a good analogy. A novice surgeon operating under the impression the nursing and anesthetics staff will help them if they make a mistake, will kill a patient very quickly. Just because you can't necessarily do surge

I disagree with the sentiment and implied haughtiness behind all those course suggestions, but ok.

Yes, but, even then I feel the point was more "I need to pass to get a job, this currently feels beyond my skills/energy/time, and morals are secondary". The important shift here is that there's increasingly a more

I would disagree that the art is in the "academics and hobby space", though I suppose I may be using a different definition for 'art' here. I read something some time a go and noted it down because I liked the concept: &

Not necessarily an identical thought to OP, but, anecdotally (n=1), my experience teaching the exact same course on Advanced Java Programming for the last 4 years has been that the students seem to be getting more and more cynical, and seem

I had fun reading this. Unfortunately the infinite list of tasks doesn't work for me, because in the end they fade into oblivion but are still somehow important to keep track of, putting them in some sort of no-man's land ...

There's a nice Jordan Peterson quote: > There was a lesson to learn from the holocaust. We're always reminded that: "Never forget, we've learned our lesson." "What was the lesson?" That's the quest

I think he meant to write "Prologue" instead of "PROLOG". I spent a few minutes excitedly trying to figure out how one of my favourite declarative programming languages was used to solve modern robotic sensing problems,

Everyone's different. I lose energy if I do have breakfast. Which results in lack of focus. Therefore I often postpone my breakfast as long as I possibly can, otherwise, with a large probability, my work day is ruined before it even

Yes, obviously I'm making a bit of a strong point here, undiluted by necessary nuance. I don't shun otherwise good projects with a good reputation entirely from a mere sentence if I can avoid it. But the point is, I actually enjoy

Personal nitpick, but whenever I see a project trying to promote itself by actively bashing (no pun intended) the current solution in its tagline, no-matter how catchy the tagline, my gut feeling is to avoid it without spending much time to

I'd be very surprised if this is anything other than a scam to get your bank login credentials.

This is nice, but ... I wish the doc didn't introduce it as "a better cd command", that's very misleading. With the exception of the fuzzy part, which can be added separately, Bash already has facilities for all of those

This is completely misguided for two reasons. 1) you're talking about ADHD which is a disability. It's like asking someone with no legs if they could sprout legs if the reason was compelling enough. The answer is still no. 2) If y

We're not disagreeing, but in the sense that the language we use is important, I would not say it's the profit motive, but uncontrolled greed, that has driven this shift. Reasonable profit is necessary. Something needs to put fo

It is not wrong in the same since that "assuming - for addition and + for subtraction then 2 + 2 = 0" is not wrong.
