So they're... remaking the Pegasus Launcher?

Why would I use bloated Neovim? ed is perfectly fine for any and all editing task.

This. USE flags are the real strength of Gentoo. There can be benefits with various C(XX)FLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc. However, most of the time^1^ those changes are at best moderate, and sometimes outright dangerous.

With Gentoo, if $PKG has a choice to require $LIBKITCHENSINK, you can choose not to. This, sometimes, can mean saving a TON of compile time. Also, the kernel is arguable more secure^2^.

  1. One time I recompiled either Opera, or some lib it depended on with some magic LDFLAGS and got a notable speedup on startup. However, this is fairly rare.
  2. IIRC, a certain part of the kernel can rerandomize the kernel stack in memory, meaning that, unlike a Debian kernel or Fedora kernel, no one can be entirely sure what a certain data structure would be in memory.

From my understanding, yes. Personally, I've seen so many different definitions of "OOP" (most of which were incoherent), I developed my own definition of what an 'object' is, and just go on with life.

In a proper PnPRPG/Tabletop RPG game, a truly spectacular blunder feels like a success to the person who failed. Walk into a bar and critfail both your Communications check, and the "Oh crap, I failed that badly. Can I save this by doing ______?" follow-up Communications check? You think you did fine, but now the entire bar thinks you are a truly crazy person, and treat you with respect only because they think you're going to shiv them in the neck if they get out of line.

I know it's nontrivial, but kit cars are a thing. If they won't make the car you want, build it.

Please verify the process to make it street legal before buying the kit, though. Don't want to end up with a car-sized paperweight.

Should take one half apart and put it on display, like those blow-apart assembly drawing, but in real life. I'd love to see the mechanism that moves those wings taken down to bolts...

mechanical teletype? Pfff. Grow up and learn to read your blinkenlights already. Heck, while you're at it, here are 16 switches and three buttons. That should be more than enough for anything ever.

Are they? It's a known fact that they do that kind of thing. If they were good, wouldn't their involvement not appear, or would be, at best, a rumor?

Or do as Alan Kay wants and start calling it "Message-Oriented Programming".

"I'm sorry that I long ago coined the term "objects" for this topic because it gets many people to focus on the lesser idea. The big idea is "messaging"."
