I actually don't believe this. The idea that the army of webdevs that find employment for the first time were recruited out of school strikes me as silly. In addition, your respons…

I guess you're right, your experience is universal. SystemD really IS where that comes from.

Void Linux is a nice alternative which defaults to runit. I feel like I'll probably end up in the same spot though, switching to BSD.

Can someone tell me what the Mishima quotation has to do with the content of the article.

Yes, they go together. Sociopaths are low in empathy but excellent at perceiving the emotional state of others.

I actually don't believe it's possible to, in any meaningful way, perceive and vicariously experience the emotions of others and to continue to carry any deep hostility, or to do s…

That's not being highly empathetic, that's being exactly like every other person. Also, unironically taking joy in someone else's misfortune is pretty mean.

Perceptiveness is not empathy, or else we wouldn't need another word for it. Hatred and empathy are not on the same ends of the emotional spectrum. The ability to perceive others e…
