‘Toy’ feels strange to me here. It’s more of a just-works vs power-tool distinction. Sometimes people like tools that require you to RTFM because the deeper understanding has concrete benefits; it’s not just fun. User-friendliness is not all upside, it is still a tradeoff.

You’re absolutely right about hurting new users by not making the destinction, whatever label is used.

This is one of the little things I love about Gentoo. It’s rolling, but not bleeding edge.

Plus, you can opt into bleeding edge either per package or for all packages. It’s honestly a flexibility that doesn’t even require a source-based distro, so Arch could do it too.

Yep, Kraken’s been a big player in the exchange space for a long time.

Plus you can plug the mac into itself for free charging.

Oh, so it’s Hashcash; cool to see that idea getting real use.

Combine them into a blazing fast 14.4 MB RAID 0.

Religion hasn’t had its time so much as it is rapidly evolving along with the rest of society.

Nope and yep. It’s an incredible tool, but it’s got a vim-sized learning curve to really leverage it plus other significant drawbacks. Still my beloved one-and-only when I can get away with it, but its a bit of a masochistic acquired taste for sure.

Template tweaking, as I imagine academia heavily relies on, is really the closest to practical it gets. You do still get beautiful results, it’s just hard to express yourself arbitrarily without really committing to the bit.

Holy shit I think I have the same problem, mesh network and all. I assumed it was a driver issue; thanks for the pointer!

That’s super interesting. I adore RPN on caclulators and had never heard any drawbacks well-articulated.

When I did a homestay in Japan, my host dad was shocked my family didn’t have one. I do now though!
