I used to do this when I could, but many poorly written email validators reject such addresses. (One service, Rappi, was so gloriously, hopelessly broken that they spammed me now and then at the address with a + in it but I couldn't use it to log in!)

Now I just use Fastmail's masked address feature. (And I do not use Rappi.)

I have discovered a truly marvellous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow bear the load.

That is not the economics textbook sense of the phrase.

The first sentence from the wikipedia article seems good to me: "R-seeking is the act of growing one's existing wealth by manipulating public policy or economic conditions without creating new wealth."

A generalist with experience in full stack development, release engineering, and systems administration.

US and Mexican passport holder.

A native English speaker with C1-ish Spanish.

I've thrived when assigned to work on large, legacy projects (I've ended up leading them more than once) and with direct contact with customers and users.

Lately I've been doing more work on the sysadmin side of things (with customer contact and it's great).

I enjoy mentoring and documenting (yes, really) and putting out fires and I unapologetically use cat in shell pipelines, even when it's "useless." I have a system based loosely off of quicksort to pair my socks, yet I also spend a good deal of my free time reading and working out.

A codebase that's formatted notgivingashittily is an accessibility issue. It's not just deranged control freakism.

Maybe Yelp's codebase was otherwise clean, but aside from golang projects (and the Linux kernel) I've come to associate tabs with unreadable slop code. Maybe your experience is different.

And what about the people who sometimes post interesting things and sometimes post distilled insanity? They're incentivized to do so.

I have memories of a similar escalator, probably at or near Downtown Crossing.

I don't remember it being made of wood, but I remember it being narrow and slanted downwards and kind of scary. Come to think of it, the station in general was very run down and a bit frightening to ~5yo me.

This would have been in the early to mid eighties.

Indeed. It made long walks with my dog seem all too short.

But are these truly exceptions? Or are they the result of subtler rules French learners are rarely taught explicitly?

I don't know what the precise rules or patterns actually might be. But one fact that jumped out at me is that -mal and -nal start with nasal consonants and three of the "exceptions" end in -val.

That makes it make more sense. Thanks.

You're right that there are big regulatory issues still.

> If you can pick up goods directly from a customer on one side and deliver them directly to a customer on the other, you can actually beat today’s air freight service on delivery time.

I didn't understand this part, specifically how you could beat today's air freight. Why wouldn't airships be subject to the same (ahem) overhead at either end?

Competitive enough on speed while being less expensive makes sense, though.

Fortunately his surname is not Deacon.

Whenever this comes up, I'm reminded of section 5 in https://cr.yp.to/qmail/guarantee.html which among other things says "Don't parse" and "there are two types of command interfaces in the world of computing: good interfaces and user interfaces".

If I were were to teach a class about programming in the medium (as opposed to in the small or in the large), I think I'd assign my students an essay comparing and contrasting these suggestions. Each has something to teach us, and maybe they're not as contradictory as it may seem at first.

I tried to make some sort of joke or pun based off of shipping containerized software, I couldn't make it work. Oh well.

What's wrong with the poem?

  Thirteen days have November
  April, May, and December.
  All the rest have thirty nine
  except for February when the weather is fine.

Works for me.

How do you know that there's a drummer at your door? The knocking speeds up.

It's mentioned in the first sentence of https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A0%CE%AC%CF%81%CE%B9%CF%82, the first sentence in the corresponding English article, and early in the corresponding pages in other languages that I checked.

I chased a few references and found the following:

The Iliad: https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hom.+Il.+3.16&...

Hyginus, in Latin: https://www.hs-augsburg.de/~harsch/Chronologia/Lspost02/Hygi...

I assume there's more.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at. A lot of figures in mythology have multiple names. Paris/Alexander was one -- but today he's far better known as Paris.

The characters used to write Αλεξανδρος (no accents back then!) are interesting to me. I associated that style of script with much later times. Shows what I know.

> That pseudo-library style is kind of what "unit test" originally meant: a business unit, not a code unit. Examples simplified it too much and people copied the style instead of the substance, and the original meaning was lost.

Very interesting. It sounds a bit like what happened with the term "Hungarian notation".

That's a lot more than four sticks.

Believe it or not, I enjoy writing documentation.

I imagine it as a competition between myself and an adversary with an uncooperative attitude, one who's prepared to act smarter, dumber, better informed and more ignorant than I am in order to to find gaps, inaccuracies, or ambiguities in the docs I write.

It doesn't hurt that it improves my understanding of whatever it is that I'm documenting -- and where it could be improved.
