My old job legitimately did this in C++ with a Perl script because we had to be able to build on some weird, old systems and couldn’t use C++ templates.

Octopodes nuts

Disagreeing with a misogynist isn’t misandry.

Pretty advanced misogyny to personify octopuses and then blame the “women” octopuses for rejecting sexual advances.

A toad is a type of frog. These guys are all posers.

I bet if you asked Alan Turing about Al, he’d say he prefers to be called Alan

A 70% murder rate sounds accurate for the US

A right angle exists between the radius of the circle and the line tangent to the circle at the point that the radial line intersects it. So we can say the radius forms a right angle with the circle at that point because the slope of the curve is equal to that of the tangent line at that point.

Pigeons come with holes in them by default.

Seems like not a real programming paradigm, and I don’t mean in a No True Scotsman way. It really is in a separate category of thing. Could’ve said logic programming or stack-oriented programming.

Tf is “return oriented”?

The ADHD cope to research a thing for tens of hours across weeks or even months, agonizing over the purchase of the thing (especially if multiple options are available) before ultimately deciding that it isn’t worth the relatively minuscule cost.

Modal editing for just raw text input would actually be slower, because you also enter and leave Insert Mode. I find it’s very fast and powerful for navigating around the text, which you probably do a lot more than actually editing it. And when it does come to editing, there are a lot of higher-level tools (at least in Vim) for accomplishing things more quickly, like the ‘s’ command and ‘q’ macros.

I think getting into a mental “flow” state is really valuable, and muscle memory is important for being able to stay there. If your muscle memory is to navigate around using the mouse, that’s great, but Vim feels faster to me.

I just thought Sweaty was a hilarious name for a camel in the desert.
