So everything is just a pile of barely working code added\non top of previously written barely working code. It keeps\ngrowing in size and complexity, diminishing any chance for\na change.\n\nTo have a healthy ecosystem you need to go back and revisit.\nYou need to occasionally throw stuff away and replace it with\nbetter stuff.\n\n - Nikita Tonsky, 2018-09-17\n blog post on tonsky.me\n ("Software Disenchantment")
There's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

Electron is just Flash for the desktop.
With a GUI, that "undo" button is always an option. But in real\nlife, you can't *unmake* a mistake. Sure, you can *recover*\nfrom a mistake, but you are always going to have to do some\nscrambling, my friend, and if you are at least halfway\nintelligent, you will definitely think twice about trying that\nagain, or at least trying it *that way* again. You don't want\nto jump through all those hoops again, so you think about your\nend goal and try to develop a better workflow for next time.\n\nThe command line, in short, makes you think. It makes you plan,\nit makes you think about the end goal, it makes you remember\npast failures. The command line makes you think about *outcomes*.\n\n - Kenneth John Odle, the codex
How do I type "for i in *.dvi do xdvi $i done" in a GUI?\n\n - Discussion in comp.os.linux.misc
"If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong."\n\n - Norm Schryer
Your karma check for today:\nThere once was a user that whined\nHis existing OS was so blind\nHe'd do better to pirate\nAn OS that ran great\nBut found that his hardware declined.\nPlease don't steal Mac OS\nReally, that's way uncool.\n(C) Apple Computer, Inc.

Once upon a time there was a DOS user who saw Unix, and saw that\nit was good. After typing cp on his DOS machine at home, he\ndownloaded GNU's unix tools ported to DOS and installed them.\nHe rm'd, cp'd, and mv'd happily for many days, and upon finding\nelvis, he vi'd and was happy. After a long day at work (on a Unix\nbox) he came home, started editing a file, and couldn't figure\nout why he couldn't suspend vi (w/ ctrl-z) to do a compile.\n\n - Erik Troan <ewt@tipper.oit.unc.edu>

the distortion of "there is potential profit we did not earn" as\n"there is money we lost" is fascinating and disgusting to me.\n"megamediacongolmerate lost $1,000,000,000 to piracy this year"\nis a flat out lie. it is not true. they did not have a billion\ndollars, that they now do not have. they felt entitled to one\nbillion dollars, that they did not have, and still do not have.\nit's an infuriating perversion of the truth.\n\n - strawberry-bundae, tumblr post
I'm tired of being the butt of everyone's jokes.\nI'm tired of being talked about like I'm not here.\nI'm tired of being a political token. Tired of being under\nscrutiny for no reason.

I'm tired of having to constantly be on my\nbest behavior lest someone decide to ruin my life over some\ninsignificant slight. And I'm tired, most of all, because the\npeople who do all this stuff also surround themselves with legions\nof sycophants who'll constantly jerk them off about how good and\nwoke and progressive they are and about how the big scary\nhysterical ****** is just being mean for no reason.\n\nI'm tired.

An ant crosses your carpet. A spider weaves a pattern older than mammals beneath your stairs. Just nod, breathe, and think, "Good. It's all still here. The forest, the mountains, the desert.
