@Keltounet @hywan I watched my mother progressively (and completely) lose the ability to use her iMac during her final decade because Apple kept f*cking around with the Mac OS X user interface, the way Mail worked, the colour of the window maximize/minimize buttons, and stuff that probably looked trivial to a 30-something UI designer but was deeply disruptive to an 80 something with impaired memory. And by losing that access, she lost touch with friends (via email).

I wish `git` had something to hexdiff files out of the box, instead of that weak excuse of "binary file differ" 
Screw banks and their "security" policies 
I should write a huge text about how #Haskell is a great language and is getting better all the time.
Just to dilute the stream of negativity constantly appearing on feeds.
Maybe *you* should too.
Gosh, I sometimes hate that the LSPs are a thing now. People really like to dunk on #Haskell and its "toolchain" for LSP deficiencies.
Come on, people, this stuff is barely mature by itself.
And you really can do without it.

software licensing
Just spotted some blurb on the net and it made me cringe in pain.
> Some people, when they first encounter REUSE, run into a couple of things that are very different from what they are used to. They miss the long legal blurbs at the tops of files, miss the COPYING/LICENSE file in the root of the repository, think that .license files clutter the directory, or find it very strange that even insignificant non-code files get licensing headers.

And they are fucking right! Software licensing^W lawyering is bullshit and basically a cancer.
My retirement plan is entering postsingularity before running out of funds 
I've heard that Australian media magnates are wild, but this is quite something.

All of you are dead. I am alive.
Finally, the language that wins a majority of the vote in every head-to-head comparison against each of the other languages – that is, a language preferred by more people than any others!
Shoutout to Squiggle, where you can get a reasonable guesstimate for a composite outcome (deadline, cost, etc.) while having slept through your Stat-101 classes.
(1) If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.
(2) The mean time to complete a task we know nothing about is actually infinite.

Could I promise the spacecraft wouldn't eat an airline meal?
Or should I promise I would eat TWO meals, to make it look like a human was in that seat?
Could I declare the model an emotional support spacecraft?

I've curated a timeline of hardware architectures for functional programming languages. From the foundations of Church and Curry, to modern programmable hardware 100 years later.
Best viewed on a desktop or laptop.
