The only recorded case where giving something a longer name actually made it go away was `your name's not "Bob", it's "Rumpelstilzchen"!'

I once took over a C project from someone who had ♯define'd words like "BEGIN", "THEN", and "END" to use instead of various parens—like she was a medieval theologian, asserting control by naming things. I gathered that she was an #Ada or somesuch programmer who thought she was `making C have less parens'. It's usually C programmers who make the `Lots of Irritating Silly Parentheses' crack, though—isn't it?

@arnebab, cf. ` #s-expressions vs. #XML '.

Frankly, I find it a lot easier to determine if regular #parens are balanced than to check if my begin/then/do/esac/fi/end tags are balanced (and the #astute-reader will notice that I left that begin…end sequence unbalanced, but correctly balanced this parenthetical)

#Ruby & #bash spelling some of their #parens "begin", "then", "do", "in", "esac", "end", and "fi" doesn't make them those parens not exist.

I don't know of many languages that have fewer parentheses than #lisp; they mostly just have *more types of parens* and placement-rules.

What's the noun form of "ambient"? Apparently it's "circumfusion": http://status.hackerposse.com/url/2145 #words

You don't actually *want* !gnus to touch your #Maildir directly—you want it to go through a lightweight local #IMAP server. Really.

Ah, here we go: use "mk-build-deps -i" from #Debian's devscripts package, not "apt-get build-dep": http://wiki.debian.org/BuildingAPackage

Is there some way to easily clean out all of the !Debian packages that were brought in by an `apt-get build-dep' command?

To say #WebFinger "doesn't work quite right on a subdirectory" is an understatement would be an understatement—spec requires "at the root"☺
