progress", it's the lulz of all time. to think all this running away, running in circles, chasing of tail etc is simply the devil trying to somehow, hopefully, beyond all hope escape the fact that there really isn't any room for it here.

mircea_popescu: "Technology means doing more with less. In the absence of technological
progress, we end up with a zero-sum world, in which there must be a loser for every winner.

progress and whatnot
mircea_popescu: i see no problem with SOME software must

assbot: Logged on 11-02-2016 06:56:52; punkman: in other nyooz, made some
progress on punkdiff. I added file deletions without including the deleted lines in the diff. Now working on sane renaming, but I'm thinking it might be better to have renames represented as (copy a to b)+(delete a).

BingoBoingo: It is written in the Big Book "Many of us exclaimed, "What an order! I can't go through with it." Do not be discouraged. No one among us has been able to maintain anything like perfect adherence to these principles. We are not saints. The point is, that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines. The principles we have set down are guides to
progress. We claim spiritual
progress rather than spiritual perfection." page 60
