Many Pennsylvanians oppose fracking because we donβt want to prolong climate destruction or because folks who live near these fracking pads are sick of the smell, the noise, and the threat to their health.

I have Thotsβ’ about this one (from the braying Tim, urging you to write software with 0 dependencies, which I think it is literally impossible unless you are the kind of person who does hardware bringup via bit-banging, but also that's not what he's talking about): tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20β¦
By βzero dependencies" he means βnone of *those* dependenciesβ, you know, the ones we shudder at when we look at node_modules and count, not the ones that quietly make entire software ecosystems possible.
Is a dynamic library a dependency?
Postgres?
An operating system?
All of these things are software modules we use that are successfully bundled away behind often very successful interfaces (libc, sql, posix, etc).
But probably we're talking about leftpad. He mentions `xz` specifically, a dep that most people don't realize is in use in most of the places it's used.
βMinimize and think about them" is a stance I can get behind.

Also 'interaction zone' is a lot bigger so interacting should go easier

Italian 'sΓ¬', Spanish 'sΓ' and many more Romance words for "yes" come from Latin 'sΔ«c', which meant "so; thus; like that". In Popular Latin it got an extra meaning: "yes", born out of the sense "like that", i.e. "like you said".
French 'oui' has a completely different origin. It comes from Old French 'oΓ―l', a univerbation of 'o il', literally "yes, it (is/does/has etc.)".
'O' stemmed from Latin 'hoc' (this), which became 'Γ²c' (yes) in Occitan, whose name was derived from this very word.

Bamford, Warburton, Dyson, Martin, Hargreaves, Ratcliffe, Hester, Odey, Banks....those rich? The ones that got themselves rich in our society, using our workforce and infrastructure, then conspired with Farage & Gove to confiscate British Citizens' rights of European free movement, & whine about paying tax? More money than sense, & utterly selfish. Let the fleet of private jets set their course for Kigali. They won't be missed.

We don't like paying for our software dependencies, do we. We really hate it. We don't like paying the people who write the things that entire worlds of software depend on. We demand things from them to protect ourselves from *our* supply chain deficiencies without offering them anything in return.
Example: every somewhat off-target demand that maintainers of something popular turn on 2FA. Is 2FA helpful? Yes. Does it absolve you of responsibility for your own software supply chain? No. See blog.ceejbot.com/posts/multi-fβ¦
That blog post gives you a first take on what my response to Tim Bray's post is going to be.
