To be fair though only some are ok with Palantir. They made some useful generic developer tools and quite a few refused to use them.

And there is a lot of free software ethos was born out of MIT. Free as in libre, not free as in beer. This may all have been a mistake, but quite a few people in our are ok.

Also depends on your variant of English, because North American Biscuits are very different from the rest of the anglophone world's biscuits. Many of them are unleavened, just as most gods don't have a strong position on whether you should use leavening at any time of the year, let alone now.

Windows will never come close to replacing Linux! There's way more Linux out there than there is Windows.

Presumably you mean on the personal desktop. In which case I still disagree in the very long term. I think at some point Windows will be replaced by *nix based systems in the vein of OSX and Chrome OS.

Wow. .08 is ridiculously lax IMO. I agree punishments should scale by inebriation level but I never expected people to think .08 was too strict.

Coupling is a fucking gem. I've still never been able to bring myself to watch the final season that has no Geoff though.

ironically, I think whining about anticipated downvotes for expressing the most mainstream sentiment is worthy of downvotes

Git’s unconventional and decentralized design—nowadays ubiquitous and seemingly obvious—was revolutionary at the time,

Of course, there's more innovation in git than being DVC but the decentralized nature wasn't revolutionary.

It was funny when I started using bzr and then git, I kept being told "it's a DVC, which is a different way to work that takes some getting used to", and I was puzzled as it felt very familiar to me. Then I looked up DVCs and found out that Sun's Teamware that I'd used for a decade was also a DVC. It was actually a return to familiar and comfortable workflows after a brief period using abominations like Perforce and Clearcase. I'm so glad they've been largely replaced. Git may not be perfect, but it's better than those in any use cases I have had.

Meh, sure she was wrong on that, but that doesn't justify taking her into custody and refusing to allow her to go home.

But then you have to eat Tillamook cheese... I has no idea cheese could be so bland before I moved to the NW USA. And orange, for some reason.

I thought it was stating that something is God's will for your own purposes. AFAIK it's not just using terms for God as a curse.
