If you wouldn’t mind indulging me, I’m very curious how you came to be of that opinion

C is "just another abstraction on top of what we already had" (Assembly). Doesn't mean it's not useful

Thanks I genuinely appreciate your input

And you’d be right. I have linked a study supporting my claim above, you’re welcome to tell me why it’s invalid.

“… higher TC and LDL-C were independently and paradoxically associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality and longer survival time in men”

Eating butter is good for your heart. As long as your triglycerides and HDL (AKA "good cholesterol") are low, elevated LDL (AKA "bad cholesterol") is associated with lower all-cause mortality.

That might be generally true for frontend frameworks these days, because they’ve all converged around the same ideas. But in the mid 2010s, Backbone was very different from jQuery, which was very different from Knockout, Ember, ReactJS etc. certain frameworks embraced certain programming paradigms, others embraced others.

Some of my colleagues didn’t make the jump. Those that were the most into AngularJS back then are still writing Angular apps today.

At the time that’s precisely how it felt though. So much so that I personally felt it wasn’t worth it relearning everything. Had shipped several projects with AngularJS at my very first dev job, and have never written a line of Angular v2+

I tried this with the kind of merge conflict I'd expect it to solve automatically, and it didn't. Is it supposed to work while rebasing, or is it strictly for merges?

Tangentially related, there is much insight about Unix idioms to be gained from understanding the key layout of the terminal Bill Joy used to create vi

For whatever reason, there are extraordinarily few references that I come back to over and over, across the years and decades. This is one of them.

Indeed, the last sentence on the page is "Use it with caution, and at your own risk."

Which is what the comment you’re replying to means by “invent”.

New comment by taejavu in "Every country should set 16 as the minimum age for social media accounts"

taejavu — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 04:09:42 +0000

Yeah as an Australian I thought this would be the case and I'd have to stop using Facebook etc (because there's no way I'm uploading ID or whatever to keep using it). Turns out because I created my account over 16 years ago they're happy to assume that I'm at least 16 years old. Which makes sense but I didn't anticipate it going that way.

If you can’t see the hyperbole in claiming that all studio albums only having one decent song is the norm then I can’t help you

With an attitude like that, no wonder you feel so superior to your fellow humans
