Exa Is Deprecated 3 years ago

I much prefer lsd over exa, as lsd has better backwards compatibility with the flags. Specifically `-t` for sorting by time, exa has it specify the time field used.

Have you ever merged onto an expressway behind someone doing 20mpg? It's terrifying.

Acceleration makes merging onto expressways safer.

Unlike in every single one of those other languages, this Golang decision means that you can't pin to a specific minor version

Yes, it is possible to pin to minor version.

The version is specified in the `go.mod` file.

Look at this [go.mod example](https://github.com/ukiahsmith/modbin1/blob/main/go.mod).

The upstream `modlib1` library at v4 has tagged versions for v4.0.0 and v4.1.0. The go.mod file pins the version to the _older_ v4.0.0.

I have a split keyboard, and I think the real benefit is not that I can rotate my wrists, but that it allows me to pull my shoulder blades closer together. I sit more upright and have less back pain.

I heard the best definition of rich from the Cosby show:

If you work for your money you're not rich. You are rich if your money works for you.

Best line in the whole post: "I now no longer lie to myself about the fact that life requires death."

I never understood the "Meat is murder" slogan. It's factual. They should have used "Meat is torture". I think it's more accurate with their line of thinking.
