Hmm, not quite an apology, but sort of a tacit acknowledgement that what you wrote wasn’t quite what you meant. Good enough for me.

I'll re-quote it for you: > Thinking that you're a programmer that doesn't want to constantly build software for your own sake is a delusion - it's like a cook that hopes to turn o…

"Emacs is a tool, not a religion" yeah that's my point. You framed not investing in it as a delusion. We can all agree on the importance of tooling. I am responding to the tone of …

To summarize: your claim is that choosing to spend your energy on anything other than your emacs setup is a catastrophic failure in terms of ROI, a delusion, and a sort of derelict…

No fair! I live in a place with lots of tourism and the roads are terrible.

I’m not saying violence didnt happen, of course it did! I’m saying the evidence is not that neanderthals were simply eradicated like animals that were hunted to extinction and that…

This is accurate for post history but evidence doesn't support this for prehistoric hunter gatherer tribes.

Ah yeah looks I wasn't on the mark here. The "outcompete" framing is more accurate for neanderthals but for many pleistocene extinctions "hunted to extinction" did happen in some c…

Lions, bears, wolves, etc all survived us

Great question. When people say outcompete it can certainly include violence but we’re talking about populations spread over continents over thousands of years. Factors like techno…

Common misconception, more likely outcompeted

They weren’t shilling at all, it was a passive statement of fact. In fact, they didn’t mention LLMs at all and a kanban board could be built in a weekend without one so it’s not ev…

We were talking about covid era trends specifically. Covid peaked around 2020-2022 and it's difficult to determine what other trends during that time period are directly caused by …

Money doesn’t buy happiness but it does buy groceries, day care, car insurance, etc.

COVID is highly correlated with many other things that would increase dangerous behavior. For example, COVID saw an increase in alcohol use, which in turn would result in increases…

> Keyloggers, etc. are on all the computers you’re given. I was curious about this claim and I dug up this article from 2024. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/inter…

Yeah feels like the only way to find a quality product now is to find a good niche reviewer on YouTube and watch 5 hours of content.

Curious if the generic one had YKK zippers and the Jansport did not, since people frequently emphasize their value.

Not sure if you're misreading what I wrote or arguing in bad faith, but either way I'm done here.

Personally, I have multiple messaging apps. I have notifications on for work slack, which is high signal, and I have notifications off for personal discord which is noisy and low p…

Making the product worse for everybody because a minority can’t manage their own settings is a terrible strategy.

This comment doesn't respond to what I actually said. I said that heavy-handed CGI tends to read as CGI. You responded by "informing" me that more nuanced CGI is commonplace. Every…
