    Why take what he said at face value after "Calm down; this is just an experiment... but actually I'm gonna merge this huge thing in a week"?

    I think some people just get an irrational block about learning particular things. Like maybe you struggle with a music class in school and just identify as being incapable of lear…

    Just went through this myself. I gave in and made the account, only to then find out I was too late to give them my direct deposit info anyway. (If it's any peace of mind, I did ev…

    Similarly, when all of this started happening I went and bought some history books for anything that seemed like it would be useful later.

    What incentive does a dealer have to know or care why a sale fell through? Bizarre question

    If I'm understanding that they're waiting this 5 minutes when they try to launch the game, there's a setting (go to Downloads, scroll down) to do the shader compilation in the back…

    I similarly used it to finally facilitate a switch to Arch to a couple months ago. Not technically a tool, but it was very convenient to take the Arch wiki, and personalize it by s…

    What are your thoughts on the Io situation? Has your work been with the Io plans in mind from the beginning?
