If you bought pot with a lot of basil in it, instead of pot, I think you need to find yourself a better dealer. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Kanye West tried asking them to stop fighting. Yes, Kanye West is trying to be the voice of reason between those two clowns.

That says so, so much.

Ed is the standard unix text editor. It's also strange. This is a video about ed, why it is the way it is, and an alternative vision of computing in the world that may just be coming back.

Let me help you "do your own research" on vaccines. I spend an unhealthy amount of time in cemeteries all over the world (they are often atop or on ancient sites in part). Pre 1920-1950s, they are FULL of small children. Post, there but rare. I wonder what happened from the 20s-50s?

Even though we are excavating in the Bronze and Iron Ages, it seems lithic technology was still alive and well at #Nippur (might also be prehistoric upchurn). ๐Ÿบ

If you could get paid to program on anything you want and in any language you want, what would you want to program, and what language in?

Linux offers a wide range of text editors, from classics like Vim and Emacs to modern picks like Helix and Notepads, perfect for all kinds of editing styles. Got a favorite? ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‡

Would programming web dev in Haskell or OCaml make web dev more pleasurable? Or would it not make a difference?
