I mean, that's just basic cooking technique!

Who would have thought that there would be a context in which GNU Autoconf and Automake were considered the modern way to build software?

I regularly have people tailgate me when I am driving only 75 mph in a 65 mph area, despite the fact that the person ahead of me is driving the same speed as me so I could not drive any faster even if I wanted to. Fortunately the situation is usually resolved as soon as enough space opens up in the neighboring lane that they can dart past me and tailgate the car in front of me instead.

I appreciate your honesty in admitting that you consider human well-being to be irrelevant!

Agreed. In troubling times like these, it is more important than ever that we stand up for our grammatical principles!

I agree that our society could deal with less of a focus on consumerism, but the problem that wishing that all basic needs were magically provided is that you cannot get around the fact that someone needs to do the providing.

I think that the most realistic way forward to get some of the same benefits is for us to start reducing the length of the work week, certainly to 4 days and possibly even to 3 days.

In fairness, the deer population is way out of control, so I'm just doing my part to reduce it.

AT&T, for example, once aimed to cut the ratio of managers to nonmanagers in one of its units from 1:5 to 1:30.

Wow, it is never a great idea to give someone more than about 5 direct reports if you want them to be effective.

Is it just me, or this article basically just an ad, and not a particularly well written one?

A Linuxponential curve!

Couldn’t the same be said for the proof of dark matter?

No, dark matter is actually a great explanation for lots and lots of observations; the only problem with it is that we don't know anything about it other than that it is such a good explanation for these observations.
