lightyears you say?

Guix

+1, since for me it's much easier to grok the language and the schema at a single glance.

Plus for those worrying about linux-libre kernel not having the right drivers for your hardware, non-guix has you covered and you can easily switch to linux-mainline. I'm really enjoying Guix a lot right now.

"Yes, I have! We learned about him at the Academy. It turns out it was an ironic nickname given to him by his peers after his disciple basically took him down. One of those lessons in knowledge and treachery, meant as a fable for building false trust, but some idiots are empowered it."

(in reference to progressive language) “It’s so hard to keep up-”

I mean sometimes, genuinely, you can be the most well-meaning person in the world and still insult somebody.

In Turkey, pointing with your index finger backwards at someone is a gross insult. In some European countries, sticking your thumb between your first and second finger means "good luck" or "f**ck you" depending on where you are. In England, a cunt can be an insult or a term of endearment.

Sometimes you can blink, and the language changes around you. It can be genuinely hard to keep up, especially more so if you're not wired into the WWW 24/7

It could just be poor communication between you and him. I was the lead in a project over several teams without any onboarding, and several people to answer to without clear lines of hierarchy. I bent over backwards on evening and weekends for 2 years trying to make everyone happy and thus making no one. Had I better communicated that I was struggling, or at least had the life perspective to understand that what was happening wasn't completely my fault, I could have defended myself better and communicated better to my bosses that their wonderful plan of bringing several teams together with one in-between guy (me) might require some extra thought.

In retrospect I should have quit, but I was new to the country and had no idea what my rights were.

GOOD. NEVER BETTER.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should try.

Sometime it's opposite. "Wow this is really well written code and there is really decent documentation all over the place. Who wrote this? .... WAT."
