Rust/Go really are the Emacs/Vim of programming languages: little in common but commonly mentioned in the same breath.

I think you should lighten up ;)

The dialog was just saying that I listen to x, y, and z in a snide way. The summary was cool.

At least “this code doesn’t compile” isn’t a potential security vulnerability.

You: Learning CSS is like taming a wild horse.

LessWrong-rationalism is just crackpottery.
This brings to mind a review of Stephen Hicks “Explaining Postmodernism”. In the book he contrasts postmodernism with objectivism: postmodernists are irrational while objectivists are rational. And once you look long enough at the comparison tables you realize that there is no philosophy there; it’s just “bad thing” v.s. “good thing”.
Kind of like “rationalism”, that obvious good thing. Who wouldn’t want to be rational? What’s our philosophy? Uh, to be rational? To be for good things and against bad things?
Hence your indignation at putting pseudo in front of that word: how could one possibly object to something called rationalism? Hello, it’s in the name—rationalism! It’s about being rational. What more do you want, Jack?
“Per se”...
And nice touch with the but-religion-though. That was a zinger.
