2024-06-09 23:12:42 <joe9        > zelgomer: you are angry and anything I say will just upset you more. Chill. We are here to broaden our horizons not make an echo chamber.

2024-06-09 23:13:42 <zelgomer    > make a substantive argument

2024-06-09 23:15:00 <zelgomer    > and yes, i am angry because after 20 years i've reached the limit of patience for this arrogant attitude in tech that people present their opinions to newcomers as objective fact or as an authoritative source that speaks for all
2024-06-09 23:15:37 <zelgomer    > "joe9> (n)curses or X11 gui programming is a wasteful exercise these days."  no it isn't. if the guy wants to learn curses, more power to him. fuck you.

2024-06-09 23:21:50 <zelgomer    > but i also think that's sort of dogmatic
2024-06-09 23:22:02 <rendar      > i like that too, but ...when i have some kind of topic-namespace, seems quite awkward, e.g. rand.pop-alphabet
2024-06-09 23:25:25 <zelgomer    > why is that more awkward than rand.pop_alphabet?
