would it be better if they didn't skip the hard part? (i.e. if they re-designed it from first principles) does something being hard to do make it more virtuous? would it be better …

or even better: :' s/^/> /

if you use ublock origin you should be OK, it warns you when you try to access lubuntu.net

I remember someone making a card game GALGA [1] in Haskell and compiling a high-level "rules" DSL to a low-level "animation" DSL and "primitive" DSL for handling animations and sta…

funnily my friend just discovered that you can split it into thirds a few day ago and now does it whenever he eats a banana

I'd like to present a counterexample: SNKRX[1]. It costs 3€ and is under the MIT license, you can find it on github[2]. It sold >100,000 units[3], and AFAIK no one's massively unde…
