What is the gap in time between these?

I forget pwd

That's up to them. It's largely the point. To learn what you want so you can do what you want.

The purpose of education isn't production. The purpose of education is to learn.

"Academia" is casting a wide net. Academic administrators are different than academics

Why not 5/5?

There is a sweet spot with buying tools and materials just because you want to and having the right thing when you need it because of an impulse buy. That is me never.

That is a personal attack I do not appreciate

Is this a place to cast shade or self reflect? In the former experimental scientist. They have closets of oscilliscopes, vacuum pumps, cryostats. Enough to furnish 3 or more labs. They always say they'll use it, but the pile only gets bigger.

For me, I have the opposite problen in general. I throw everything away and end up buying or making new shit. Worst is probably code. Fuck making a repo. This is a one off. I can write the same code 3 times before I keep it, but I like to say that is what makes me a decent programmer. And I'll keep telling myself that until I die.

RIP Aaron Swartz. You are truely missed...

...Is it just me or does the shooter have the same smile? I've heard he's really smart.

Those who play with fire often get burned

I'm all in favor of tools that automate dotfiles and make system configuration simpler for folks just getting started, but what benefit is there over using bash scripts

(appologies for no rtfm. Conversation is more fun anyway 🙂)

Israel is guilty of genocide and will be held accountable. I understand this is the Israeli flag, but this meme is treading a line dangerously close to antisemitism. There are those who will not see a flag. They will see a symbol, The Star of David, many peaceful people display.

The Star of David globally represents millions of Jews who are among those most against the Israeli occupation. Not only do they have the same abhorance of the unspeakable violence committed against Palestinians, Israel has hijacked their religion, cultural heritage, and the symbol representing their their passivist philosophy.

Memes like this have the potential to create hardship for Jews in the same way Muslims were persecuted in the aftermath of 911. I have personally seen the defacement of mosques. The same has already happened to synagogues. A jokes may seem innoculous, but they can beget additional violence. Take caution when making ones such as this.

(Before someone fronts Reductio ad Hitlerum, the swastika and Star of David are not even remotely the same thing)

It is impossible for an individual, barring a very niche case. And why waste labor provided by someone else? So far as I know, edge is base on, but not a fork of chromium. If that is microsoft's approach, I can't imagine anyone doing differently. Except for maybe a government "forking" by close sourcing a "fork". (Which someone has definitely done). What's going to come of that? The FSF suing the US department of defense? I'd support it, but good luck.

I imagine the inner circle is very like minded and he's planned for his departure substantially more than Bram Moolenaar ("What's your long term plan for vim?" "keep me alive") My prediction: Linux will remain more or less the same.

Hats off to the best comment I've seen in a while. And there are a lot of good ones

Can't hear you with those boots in your mouth

I'm sure to varying extents. I bet the gun industry CEOs are supportive.
