I agree it’s not the prettiest, but I had no trouble clicking on “tree” to get to the folder and then “mod.ts” to see the code.

The association between vulgarity and propriety (and class distinctions) sort of ruins that word, particularly in the english speaking west.

I wonder if that's as big of a problem in the romance languages (which all treat left/right the same way - left = bad, right = good)

egwynn · a year ago
This goes pretty deep in English. I'd argue that the semantic intention behind the colloquial usage of "vulgar" is nearly inseparable from the "class distinction" baggage it carries. Consider these common synonyms and their etymologies:

- Rude: "coarse, rough, unfinished, unlearned" (https://www.etymonline.com/word/rude#etymonline_v_16610)

- Mean: "shared by all, common, general" (https://www.etymonline.com/word/mean#etymonline_v_12495)

And even synonyms like obscene, indecent, or disgusting, which don't evoke this distinction directly, still almost always ultimately rely on separating things based on what is "good" and "clean" according to class distinctions.

Slightly off topic: Learnt a new word today 'vulgarization' which seems to have a completely different meaning from the obvious. Thanks.

Note that, in the abstract, “vulgar” means “common” (as in “vulgar latin”). Indeed, its negative connotations come from that same sense: “common” people are unrefined.

Am I missing something about the O(logN) section? Why is there a graph of O(n^3 logN) under the text Here is how logarithmic complexity look like?

I know this isn’t truly the point of the article, but I’d encourage anyone/everyone to give https://fork.dev a try. Unlimited free trial but well worth it to support the great devs. It solves basically all of the ergonomic gripes I have with the `git` CLI.

They intentionally make it really hard to migrate your data off their app under the premise of "security". Now, they are EOL'ing desktop apps, which are extremely convenient to use, despite the terrible UX.

The process for exporting is doable, but requires fairly deep technical knowledge and it isn't 100% clean. In order to do so, you need that desktop app and a specific version at that.

I stopped using it ages ago because of these reasons, this should be your heads up to do the same.

I write some about personal knowledge management and also some about engineering management. It is usually updated in spurts.

At the risk of correcting the primary source, I was able to load https://www.ebiester.com/ but not https://ebiester.com/

EDIT: I see you’ve already updated your comment. Thanks!

Xcode used to have native support for this, long ago. And it had mdns support too!

This is cool. Although when I looked through the code I thought, “surely there must be a general-purpose Hayes command library for Python”, so I searched around, and didn’t find anything. Kinda wild.
