Few points
-
First of all thanks for this! I did arrive at some sore points while creating my theme that Ought To Be Fixed imo.
-
Is there a way to follow a project on Gitlab? I couldn't find anything. I could follow you, but perhaps you don't want that particularly.
-
You might want to remove the reference to Bitcoins in read me file or at least clarify it's (probably) Emma on the receiving end.

It's a real design oversight that in Git that a person's name is considered immutable. Like do these people know how people even work?

Just writing a quick comment before the site goes through an upgrade, really nice piece. I actually like its tone most, it's very rare in online writing.

- It's also called the number sign
- Size of a mathematical set S or a group G or whatever is notated as #S or #G.
- This gets abstracted out into collections of all sorts and the length of a list is equal to the elements it contains.

"i don't know how i want it to work before i write it;
What is specification, what is implementation, what is the difference, yada yada.
i know i should but it's a stream of consciousness."
The Greeks called this ataraxia, weakness of the will. Jesus. It's ok to be weak in the moment, but you probably could make a commitment to change and grow for the future.

Reply to please retweet my video game industry takes that are several years out of date by voxpoplar
Who the fuck is nostalgic for 90's game reviews? Besides, they're not coming back anymore, kids have moved on from the format and embrace other kinds of barely disguised advertising nowadays.
Also the attitude presented in the comic is such a thin skinned one. Honestly, it doesn't even look any kind of a devolution to me if it were an accurate depiction. I absolutely do find "Why X is Feminist/Not Feminist" pieces absolutely dreary to read most of the time, it feels such a reductive approach. But that hardly describes any major video game journalism outlet. Pieces like these tend come from barely read blogs and perhaps a few liberal feminist authors, but the latter seem more present in TV, film and music criticism.
But what is mindboggling is presenting cheerleading consumer's choice, what ever it is, as a good one. There's nothing bad in critiquing a work harshly and a review that does just that won't necessary be harsh in tone. Today, I read Pauline Kael's review of Superman (1978). It is a very negative review, but there's no bitter snark to be found or insinuation that the reader's values are wrong if they disagreed with Kael's perspective. But I found it perfectly charitable, a bit disappointed in fact that the kids didn't get an exciting film. She sees some merit in the source comics despite seeing the art form as a "slang form of simplified storytelling" which while questionable was probably the received opinion among film critics in the 70's. One of her problems with Lois Lane in the film is that Christopher Reeves as Superman "outclasses her" and that the audience isn't "given clue to what our hero sees in Lois Lane." Again, this critique works because it's charitable enough. Faults seem larger when contrasted with some more successful aspect.

Reply to Appalachians are slow to adopt new technology for a surprising (and refreshing) reason by Moonside
Honestly a pretty refreshing take indeed. A lot of takes on the topic, pro or contra, assume that people not like them just don't have the information and are somehow deluding themselves. This veers a bit too much on the anti side too me, but hearing about real people's opinions and not one projected upon them from outside saviors is good.

I've basically given up using bleeding edge software for this reason. I don't have much of special interest in, say, text editors, web browsers and printers to justify transient administration work on monthly basis.

baked fresh take: only arcless AT episodes are good
I must warn you, while disagreement is tolerated, I have access to the ban button as well.
I don't discriminate between filler and plotful episode and even then, I know that I'm using "filler" somewhat wrongly. But I think the show has only gotten better as the time has went and the first and second seasons can't hold the candle in comparison to what has come later. It's sort of weird, however, that AT stopped being this cultural phenomenon all the while it kept getting better and better.

You jest but honestly I think the connections are pretty slim outside of direct in game references, a few reused assets and Toby Fox's loudly proclaimed fanhood. Both games toy with meta concepts (but take it into very different directions), you probably should talk to everyone just for the enjoyment of it and characters may lose their souls. I honestly don't think there's much of a connection otherwise, really, the themes are quite distinct, for one.
