I care about my friends, and if they want to talk about it, I’m happy to listen.

Depending on what the thing is (eg, potential new person) they can be inherently interesting too.

The Tarot of the Bohemians.

I think it’s fairly parochial, and sounds quite infantile to me. Growing up (uk) we just used clockwise to tighten.

Bobby Fingers has the best definition of “woke,” one that I feel all can agree with, even if they are dismayed by the quality of his dashboards.

That was my, admittedly bitter, point, yes. You do have to wonder what the hell weretcollectively playing at.

We live in a world of plenty where we still produce enough food that nobody need go hungry.

It does make me wonder about quantum suicide.

The Sixth Sense.

The beeb. Interviewees were both pro-Israeli and representatives of different Palastinian groups; what could not be distinguished between them was the playground line of blaming the other for their own behaviour.

In the days following the October attacks, the media was filled with spokespeople repeatedly delivering the line, “look what they made us do”.

It comes to the same conclusion regarding the illegality of the weapons, even if it’s pretty lenient in its interpretation of how thousands of devices can be “reasonably expected” to all end up in the hands of combatants.

Are you saying that you’re in the tribe of people who are sick of identity politics?

You’ve linked into it, but I was just going to point at the Git book: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

It’s an afternoon’s reading; it does an excellent job of giving you the right mental model - and a crib aheet of commands to navigate it.

I have observed people taking Rust seriously. You need to reexamine your assumptions.

We have an evolved capability to short-circuit decisions with a rapid emotional evaluation. It means as a species we didn’t die out early [“that’s a lion; I’m a oerson; lions eat people ergo… Agh!” is not a sustainable strategy] - what’s amazing is that we can also apply it to elarned abstract things like an aestetic sense about programming languages. Such instincts aren’t always perfect, but they’re still worth paying attention to. I don’t see a reason not to express that in a blog post, but you can replace it with “this is unergonomic and in some cases imprecise” if you prefer.

That seems like quite a lot of booms.

FWIW I was trying to do something like this and ended up with pretty much what you describe - some custom shading to get everything working.

“Maybe our friend doesn’t like monads.”

Netware was rock solid.

That’s not how legal jurisdiction works in the EU. Member states are still sovereign; if you’re liable for something in France and you get off a plane in Germany then France still needs to ask Germany nicely, and sans an extraditable conviction nothing is likely to come of it.

He’s not smart enough. More like the Grand Negus.
