dell opts you in without telling you. one day you'll just reboot to an unexpected bitlocker screen and have to figure out whether you're getting ransomwared before eventually digging a key out of your microsoft account you weren't aware was there.

do we mathematicians do particularly much work with cows that is made simpler by assuming they're spherical?

clicking through to the repo linked at the end it appears to be rolling-hash-style ast structural pattern matching that ignores things like what names identifiers concretely have

what selective pressures against oldstyle numerals with ascenders/descenders existed that wouldn't have equally applied to letterforms with those same features?

(aha i have found the answer to my own question: miniaturization for fractions in phototypesetting)

> like github repos that don't seem relevant

i wouldn't necessarily trust a repo that does seem relevant either. it's trivial to put any data you want at a url which, at a glance, appears to legitimately belong to any repo you can fork.

minor correction, moar stands for metamodel on a runtime, not meta-object aware runtime

that's an excellent reason why one shouldn't validate emails by parsing, not an excuse for barring valid emails through poorly implemented validation

> They literally put his bio up.

...crediting him as the author of the original, not the mac port.

without commenting on anything to do with trademarks, in what way is that even slightly pretending to be him? why would they put another, separate bio alongside as the person doing a mac port if they were intending to masquerade as the original author?

the general asceticism, frign (on the board of suckless.org e.v.) setting his mailserver hostname to a nazi bunker, them picking a torch march through the german countryside as a bonding activity instead of literally anything else... yeah. at that point why would one want to bother trying to acquire the taste?

yep, same with guitar. go to sleep fumbling through a riff even though you "know" it, wake up playing it smooth as hell

this sort of grammatical error in the defense of ai copyediting does not exactly instill confidence in your supervision of said ai copyediting: "of course an LLM ... were used". perhaps you could still pay an editor to look things over.

decidedly off topic but since i've stumbled across you again, i'm still over here wondering what the hell you meant a couple months ago by arguing that doing bare syscalls on linux from a forth is an emulator.

it was quite perplexing to be called a sovcit who was imagining some software i've written just because it was rhetorically inconvenient for you that said software existed

yeah sometimes you end up making something very cool almost by accident. i tried to make shell pipelines properly concatenative like forth and friends and that had a lot of unexpected neat digressions in metaprogramming
