Something I've used time and again when I was still primarily using Windows: Jarte ( https://www.jarte.com/ ). It's small, portable, and works well with RTF files. Apparently, it can also work with .DOC and .DOCX fi

What relevance does a monkey have to this programming language? Is the idea that it's so simple a monkey could do it? Possibly: http://dilbert.com/search_results?terms=Zimbu+The+Monkey

It also makes sense, I think, considering that Git consists of small tools interacting with each other, while Hg is written as a whole application/system by itself, which can then be extended as needed.

Thanks for this. I've seen the "CONS should not CONS" paper somewhere, but skimming over it never really got me anywhere even close to this explanation. I always thought it was some in-jokey reference to US politics, but I co

I really wish I could play DF, but even as someone who occasionally dabbles with playing roguelikes, I can never get into it. DF looks completely daunting to me at the outset. I do admire the game's lovely intro sequence, though.
