this also means that more cafes are easily within reach of a cycle, where a jog can't quite get you there. plus cycling after a huge sandwich and a coffee is a lot easier than running :)

oh my god. I am a fucking idiot.

I thought we were talking about BUYING THE SECRETARY A GIFT. E.g. breaking his commitment to his wife through some implied/emotional cheating?

Having the secretary buy the gift? My god who cares. I have no argument against that at all.

Sorry I feel like I should delete all my comments but.. such is the internet.

I think we are having a fundamental disagreement about "being tricked" happening at all. I'm intelligent enough to follow the argument.

I see that, in the hyperbolic case, you are actively tricking your wife. I just don't agree that you are actively tricking randomly public visitors of a blog in any real way? there is no agreement in place such that you can "trick" them. Presumably you made commitments in your marriage. No commitments were made to the public when a blog got posted.

It's equally baffling to me that you would use one case to make the point of the other. It doesn't make any fucking sense.

I do appreciate this side of the argument but.. do you think that the level/strength of a marriage commitment is worthy of comparison to walking by someone in public / riding the same subway as them randomly / visiting their blog?

They seem world's apart to me!

This is an absurd comparison - you (presumably) made a commitment to your wife. There is no such commitment on a public blog?

I can't tell if this is a genuine question or not but if it is.. deploying a Ruby on Rails app with a pile of gems that have c deps isn't fixed with static linking. This is true for python and node and probably other things I'm not thinking of.

ahh sorry I didn't understand. I'm so used to cmt-tab, cmd-` but I'm not at all claiming that's "most" efficient. makes sense why people would want that. I wish Apple would "just" add a fucking checkbox somewhere for that. Seems like a thing people really want.

You can’t expect anything that isn’t in the original agreement. If you want to sell software, sell it!

If you don’t want a megacorp using your software, don’t give it away. Or license it such that they can’t do what you don’t want them to do.

This retroactive take backs shit is so, so bad for everyone involved.

cmd-tab does this. what are we missing? cmd-tab, cmd-tab. terminal, browser. browser, terminal. has for years.

Ok, I'll bite.

While we are on Hacker News, this is still an enormously obtuse way to communicate.

Are you saying that as users of git we will be negatively affected by deps being added and build times going up? Do you have evidence of that from past projects adding rust?

Why not just say that??

My guess is that we (I am also a user of git) won't even notice.

I'd love to have a system where I could run a script from the command line to randomly choose an episode from my collection and airplay it to my tv.

Are those API's available here? anyone know?

Cool!

edit: Without full mirror mode. I use Airflow for this right now and I love it, but would be more fun with automation.

There used to be a world where you could get INTO the investment with almost free money. You can't get a 2% loan and dump it into the stock market. Well you can't do either anymore but you used to be able to :)

to the replies that we shouldn't use fiction to aid decision making -- yes of course! how rational. how reasonable.

.. but perhaps can we access deep wisdom by paying attention the recurring themes of myths?

.. and perhaps does "The Matrix" access any of these themes?

(yes and yes!)

Is this the equivalent to the humans nuking the sky to fight the robots in the Matrix? I don't think that worked.

Will this administration start costing serious people money enough that the other billionaires will get involved to kick out the nationalist idiots? That'd be nice. It's too bad we need that to be the case but.. would be a nice side effect.
