mircea_popescu: presumably they do the good where one can at least read through and not want to hurt self ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, 1990s period /me "emacs is fucked, use vi, at least it's shorter and doesn't do anything" very much related to all this.
mircea_popescu: this i judge as the right move, otherwise might've hanged self in despair years prior to republic.

mircea_popescu: other than obvious/glaring/cosmetic issues, this isn't even such a terrible idea ; though the properties of the conventional padding scheme are something you'd regret losing.
