    I recognize everything you say and the tone of it, and I’m just immune to that angle. If you take a step back and look at it, it’s an appeal for more reassurance. I’m just saying that for your partners sake, and if you actually want the relationship to work, the best thing you can do is working on your confidence. If you don’t, every “But baby I do love you let me show you” will gradually become hollow words, and eventually filled with resentment. That’s not what you actually want, right?

    I’m 7 years into a relationship like this. I love her, but it’s breaking us apart. If you love your SO, please don’t neglect your mental health. What is reassuring and cute to you can become a taxing chore with time until one person is more like a caretaker than a lover.








  • To make things even more fun, regex differs in subtly different ways, the regex that works in perl might not work in sed. There are two main dialects, BRE and ERE, and lots of tool specific additions. So I find myself wondering if grep is using extended regular expressions, or is that in egrep, or is egrep the standard grep nowadays? One time I saw Russ Cox use Acme, and I saw the real power of regex when used by someone intuitively. But I am no Russ Cox.

    Introductions are fun, everyone is just nervously waiting for their turn and not listening to anyone else. No names or titles or whatever are remembered in big introductions. So either I just say “My name is <name> and I work with <task> at <location>” and I know that it’s already forgotten.





  • How can we bridge this gap? At least to the point where users can give constructive feedback like “I wanted to do this thing, and searched for a way here and here. It took me hours to figure out how to do it. It would have been intuitive if…” Maybe we will have to be proactive about UX issues and have proper channels for this information?
