I'm not so sure that the meaning behind The Rat Race is that a human being participating in a rat race is a rat.

100%. The guy is leaving something behind that doesn't fulfil him in pursuit of something that does, and what do the best minds of HN have to offer? "Well actually"

Different strokes for different folks. At least the author of the OP had the humility not to call anyone else's perspective 'crap'.

I'd be surprised if you appreciated if the 'art' that is 90% of graffiti appeared on the exterior of your home or business.

You do not seem to have a grasp on Vim which qualifies you to assert that it is overcomplicated.

>Those editors also let you use shortcuts without having to switch through different modes making you more efficient. The modes are what makes editing in Vim efficient.. you don't …

It sometimes seems like a lot of the Vim, ew crowd think that the sole reason for using Vim is gaining some kind of god-like ability to physically pump out and manipulate character…

I would like for any article insisting I adopt any practice to put a little more effort into doing so. This seems to amount to "it's good", "I should have done it sooner", "it's no…

In what ways are DI and global variables similar?

FWIW a fellow who has published books on the topic calls Service Locator an anti-pattern[1]. I take no position here as usage of any pattern is contextual but it's worth a read. [1…

I think it's sensible to be critical of the language used in our craft, especially when borrowed from the more physical world, because with it comes the baggage. For example, I hav…

I also don't enjoy coming back to large sed expressions I wrote previously but I'm starting to write them in a way that makes that much easier. I'm on my phone so this will probabl…

I've had 2 Barista Express units now. They have lasted me about 12-18 months each before something went wrong. In the recent case, I bought a new group head seal and I got about 60…

Love reading threads like these. Have already discovered a couple of cool things in here to explore. Here's what I'm either running now or in the process of standing up. It's very …

Awesome project! C# is my preferred language, but I love the less-heavyweight tooling in other langs, so bflat fits nicely. What inspired you to start this / what was your use case…

>What is it about the Internet that we want to get away from? For me, it has become overtly adversarial: rampant "advertising"/manipulation, pervasive use of dark patterns, content…

Ironically they reject tabs and require space indentation. Something something the complexity of supporting both. Yet we have style insensitivity..

I didn't know this existed. There's a lot I like about Nim, but total rejection of tab indentation, and now this style insensitivity thing, mean that for me personally, Nim will ju…

Great point. Would it be a stretch to suggest that this language is in reality just another medium for virtue signalling?

IMHO expecting synchronous behaviour from asynchronous tools is flawed way to operate; I'd be very comfortable taking a stand against manning these communication channels at all ti…

I'm sure there's a much nicer, scientific way to articulate this, but one interesting observation I took away from learning Vim (in terms of bindings) and Workman simultaneously is…

If you subscribe to the Unix Philosophy and like to use your tools in in such ways, yes. If you want to point and click* (no hate - I just mean you just want to get things done) an…

>it becomes excruciatingly annoying to edit non trivial amounts of text and not have vim. I can relate to this. Writing code without Vim feels like punching in a dream. Make sure y…

>Vim is basically the only editor you can safely assume to be available on any machine you’ll ever interact with. Windows?

Bet those truck drivers who learned to code feel kind of ripped off..
