   i find apple fonts too fuzzy. i kept my powerbook for almost a year before i gave up. see this: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/06/12.html (it's a 5 min read) the optimization just gives you really nice smoothing (i wish i could

   yup. that pretty much covers it. funny thing is that XP sucks too. it just looks soooo much better in comparison, that i began to actually like it a bit.

   and yet linux (specially ubuntus 8.04, 8.10) feel pretty polished to me. yes, to a fault.

   Is going the other way possible? That is, could erlang's strengths be expressed through macros in lisp?

    1. power management: works now. no excuses there. 2. kenote: don't know about this, but there are so many choices in this space now. c'mon. 3. ubuntu 8.04 and above are ok with this now. i do it all the time. 4. i'ts more of a bsd-flavore

    i don't know what you mean. could you provide an example? let's take lisp and python. in which "axis" is python more powerful and how? (i'm talking about core language features).

    i myself stopped using my language of choice because it generated this assembler for a simple function: org 100h jmp start table1 db 97 dup (' ') table2 db 97 dup (' ') start: lea bx, table1 lea si, string1 call parse lea dx, string1 mov ah

    the assumption is that languages vary in power, and furthermore that lisp sits pretty high on this power ladder. let us assume further that lisp is more powerful than python (i think that's safe. in this forum anyways). so to say that pyth

    how come? could you give an example?

    could lisp be blub for something else? if yes, what is that something. if you think not, why not?

    i don't think so no. you may have to go with a wrapper script or an alias. do you know if it's possible to do bundles in git?

    git is pretty good at dealing with lots of local branches. it has git-stash which supports that even further (stash it now, come back to it later). it has a staging area which allows you to slice and dice your commits. it seems to be bette

    what's the difference? hg status -someflag | xargs do-something git-status -someflag | xargs do-something as far as usage is concerned -- is hg really less tool like? you're right, it is partly semantics. however the article over-simplifie

    try to observe it from a non-judgmental standpoint (and definitely don't push it away). you might then be able to figure it out.
