Why are some of the pages upside down?

It's a bit bananas, but probably just because he could. He also wrote his personal notes in "mirror writing":

> The notes on Leonardo da Vinci's famous Vitruvian Man image are in mirror writing. Leonardo da Vinci wrote most of his personal notes in mirror writing, only using standard writing if he intended his texts to be read by others

Da Vinci was showing off.

I've been using EDN for years without ever wishing for something different. It's unfortunate that it hasn’t caught on outside the Clojure world.

I haven't used google in years and didn't realize it was this bad. How are they able to keep their market position?

Market momentum probably. People "Google" things. People don't "Kagi" things or "DuckDuckGo" things.

I question why Instagram is so popular. I don't use it but my wife does and she constantly runs into errors and bugs. It's a multi billion dollar company and suffers from the sort of issues that beta software does.

They got to their position first, got the market share and then enshittifed from there.

Nostalgia! However; dired (and wdired) is more powerful, so I won't be switching back any time soon.

Yup, only Dired allows you to edit your file structure tree like editing a wiki page and at the same time integrates well with source control. Where else can you mark some files and dirs and see the git log pertaining only marked items so easily? What else can easily integrate with your video player for quickly reviewing a bunch of vids? What else can you use to connect to a remote machine and keep the same worfklows as if the stuff is on your local?

Why? Vim is not just a concrete set of products. It's also an idea. One can perfectly remain a die-hard vimmer and use Emacs. That's a fundamental truth unrecognized only by those who misunderstand either Vim or Emacs, or both.

I have reasons to believe the comment above was tongue-in-cheek.

Specifically I believe this:

Is a tongue-in-cheek emoticon, but I can see how it can be mistaken for a mobius strip emoticon.

I know. I don't even use vim bindings any more.

I could have written these exact words. Marriage needs a certain balance you know ;)

Excel hates CSV

It clearly means CSV must be doing something right.

Especially in Europe because we use the comma as a decimal point. So every csv file opened in Excel is screwed up.

Someone should write an article on this

What an ugly logo, and the kerning is all wrong. Man!

Wow there is so much spacing after the "of" that I read it as "U.S. Department of space war"

The “of” is in italics, while the surrounding text is not. Is war on typography part of the mission?

I agree with the author. I've written my fair share of typed code, but it is way more valuable to probe your program while running. I feel Jack Rusher puts it quite nicely in this talk: https://youtu.be/8Ab3ArE8W3s?t=1477

This works surprisingly well for logo design. Cool concept

So, kind of the opposite of https://github.com/lovrosdu/klor but with the same goal

I am not sure if this is “opposite” but on the surface looks very interesting!
