@izaya well possible for some subsets of program. I'm thinking of programs that could be represented by a lookup table
I have fiber optic internet service, yet I'm still, somehow, waiting seconds for web pages to load 
gonna have to do some digging on this...

I eat raw lemon "flesh", but have only eaten the peel, pith, and a couple pips cooked (and I didn't like it).
@pounce so, they have some proprietary components and distribute under a non-open source license. I wouldn't say that's disqualifying if it's substantially open code. it doesn't make it a "scourge on humanity" either.
still don't see your point regarding other editors. that all seems like a problem for people who make cross-editor plugins: that's a pretty narrow group, nah?
@pounce
> hasn't been open source until last month
what are you talking about? it's been MIT licensed for years
I don't even know what you mean about "pushing other editors out of the way". last I checked, I can still use vim, notepad++, intellij, ...

it took me way too long to pick up on the "joke" of OSCAR

This rock almost looked surprised that I was coming back! Thankfully, I was able to collect another sample here to replace the one I discarded earlier. This may be one of the oldest rocks I sample, so it could help us understand the history of this place. #SamplingMars
@pounce why? apparently it works pretty well for a lot of people, especially for js and typescript
I'm trying out #antennapod. so far, it's pretty clunky for my typical usage pattern: paste in an RSS feed URL and play episodes from a point I choose in chronological order. I can at least get there though, which is more than I can say for #VLC.
what's a good FOSS mobile podcast player? I've been making do with VLC, but it's beyond shitty for this purpose

Use the *median*, not the average, to aggregate individual preferences in one-dimensional domains ⚖️
E.g. "what temperature should we heat the room to?" 🥶🌡️🥵 "how much money should we budget for the project?" 📈 💰 📉
-> incentive for everyone to answer truthfully
-> extreme responses don't skew result (manipulation resistance)
-> theoretically and intuitively evident that most-prefered option ('Condorcet winner') selected
@trinsec 😛that's not what it means and you know it 😆

very cool interview. I think that quote, "Nothing is more important than what you are doing right now," will stay with me. I don't have an ops and planning team behind everything I do, but I often find myself working on subordinate, sometimes fairly boring, tasks in service to a larger goal. keeping the attitude suggested by that quote really helps to bolster my spirits for such things

It was then that she began to realize that software versioning might be more complicated than she had ever imagined...
@mathew well, I commented as a software engineer and user of interactive Internet services: it was fun!
#copyright claims on config files are so stupid and probably not even enforceable but we add them anyway and i hate it
