@cdarwin@c.im Is this why the Korean glassware you can get in H-Mart is of better quality? That's what we've packed our lunches in for a while now.

@jameshowell@fediscience.org Composability, where each module does one thing well and has a clean interface to the others, is a worthy goal. But from the user perspective, completion _is_ one thing, so why should we need to coordinate and configure seven or eight packages to get it working? Yes, as the article says, there are many _potentially_ orthogonal concerns in completion, but when you separate them into different user packages, you've pushed too much of the complexity of their interaction onto the user. The solution, apparently, is to add another layer of abstraction: emacs configuration kits. It all seems a bit much.

@dgar@aus.social Where the analogy falls short is that there is no measurement you can perform on the other sock to determine whether it has become left or right. Leftness or rightness isn't an intrinsic property of the sock but just a way of referring to it.

@andnull@social.nouveau.community This might be because most languages have syntax that's very tricky to parse with lots of edge cases (ahem C C++). Ideally, people would design languages with clean enough syntax that a generated parser would be near-optimal.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt I'm still mad they won't correctly state that you are to click on images CONTAINING a PART OF an object of the named class.
