Years ago (1991) in Canada, there was a massive change to the sales tax structure. It was quite convoluted, where things like 1 donut incurred tax, but a dozen had no tax. Potatoes had no sales tax, but of course, GST was levied on car sa

Tpope's naming of those bindings is meant as a bit of a joke, maybe? I've always felt that Emacs bindings was leading to Repetitive Strain Injury; and really appreciate being able to use Vim bindings, even at the shell prompt.

Any such IDE needs a way to communicate with the services that are going to enforce the permissions. The DSL is a good way to do this. It allows inspection, diffing, and access by other tools, instead of being locked away in some hidden I

I don't think those examples are equivalent at all. Food isn't just about taste, but could literally kill you. Not many people have friends who recite poetry. And as for love, that's something that takes years to meaningfu

Yeah, i'm not a fan of Ubuntu either. But if Linux isn't for you, that's great. I don't think any of us should work to convince you otherwise. We're fine. You're fine. No problem. P.S. Chromebook is Linux

I think most people eventually figure out hardware that works fine under Linux. Granted, nvidia is still a sore point, and it doesn't really have a viable alternative for some important scenarios. But in the end, it's usually no
