x is text editing style, y is efficiency.

That's fascinating. I'd lumped IDA in with e.g. Photoshop. Was wrong. Did they ever retract their public freaking out?

It's expected that hobbyists will pirate it.

If jobs of all levels of difficulty are to be compensated the same, what then counts as a job? Would I be able to get paid for sitting around thinking? It also sounds like you're b…

I like how it takes them six paragraphs to say "VR is underperforming." I really need to learn how to speedread...
