You get used to it sooner than you'd think. There are libraries to convert between regex and English. Maybe it deserves a Unicode code block like APL?

Wait until you see what they do to avoid learning SQL or Regex or JSON Pointer or XPath.

If you want everything bundled instead of à la carte, that sounds more like eclipse to me. But then, I don't understand how anyone can program in Java.

I think that aphorism is about authority-respect rather than basic-human-decency-respect.

This thread makes me wonder how much contemporary American English is to blame for people being able to exploit ambiguities surreptitiously. Dog whistles have to start somewhere, they don't seem to be prearranged.

I think the rationale is that, when it's a single individual, they can't pass the buck or blame the group. It's a final appeal at a human level.

The trick is not electing a troll.

Calling well-earned criticism of economics anti-intellectualism is using the composition/division fallacy.

Most people's lives have been affected for decades by Chicago School of Economics voodoo nonsense, that's where much modern criticism is aimed.

James Comey posted a picture of "8647" (get rid of Trump) spelled in shells.

The "light truck" exemption is a huge problem, and needs to be repealed.

Big cars also reduce everyone else's visibility.

Yes, and if that's the only issue that matters to you, and you ignore the impact on all those other people, I guess that's fair to say they are the same. But does all that extra suffering serve a purpose? Are you volunteering yourself to bear any of it, or only others?
