Fun fact: People born in 2004 are all turning 18 this year :) And still, 2004 feels "a few years ago" to me. I don't know if I'll ever get used to it.

That's a hard question, like any other question concerning human freedom. I suppose a good rule of thumb is "if you're not forced to subject yourself to it, you don't get a say in it".

I think the point of that statement was that we should assume the worst case, for the sake of making code easier to deal with for everyone. If the code is easy to deal with for the meeting-ridden hypothetical person, it will definitely

Would you care to elaborate? I always thought npm was open-source-centric. If npm somehow ran opaque binaries, I'd really like to know about that.

Functional programming languages often work that way. E.g., in Erlang, if you've already bound a variable X to a value, and want to compute another value of X, you cannot use the same variable name - you have to use X2 or something els

Regret serves a purpose - it makes things memorable and makes them affect your decision-making. If you regret wasting time on pointless things, hold onto that regret and use it as a driving force to work now and in the future. That's t

I figure it's easier when your main goal is raising your child as a life-loving person, instead of a good Catholic.

So we have a Java Virtual Machine that runs a PicoLisp Virtual Machine which runs PicoLisp programs. The circle of life? Perhaps the next step would be to implement a Java Virtual Machine in PicoLisp.

I don't think it's a strange critique point - dependencies are a necessary evil, but still an evil. Minimizing dependencies is always a good thing, and I can't think of a scenario where maximizing dependencies would be desi

Honestly, I have no idea. If I recall correctly, I think there were some situations where --fix-broken did nothing for me, but the script did. I don't remember it nearly well enough to guarantee, though. One difference I'm sure

I've often encountered dependency issues on Ubuntu. One time, while dealing with NVidia/CUDA, running `apt-get -y install cuda` complained about some missing dependency. I recursively went through the error messages and installed
