Actually, complete history of innovation in pencils in Japan. For some years I wanted to get my hands on one of these, but it was hard to justify it. I have so many pencils left over from school days, my pencil consumption rate, which is probably higher than yours, is low, and I'll probably never finish them all. But maybe there's truly some magic in those Mitsu-Bishis?

The Go standard library is full of bad design choices from the perspective of safety of use.
Tobias tells us how a proper app theming mechanism is basically impossible in GNOME, and application ecosystems in general.
“Users” want a lot of things, but just because you want something impossible that doesn’t make it possible. In this case, it’s important to be aware of the costs of giving complete visual freedom to “themes”, both in individual app developer effort, and chilling effects on the ecosystem. If given a choice between customization and more, better apps, I’m confident the majority of people would prefer the latter.
Note that Betula is much more open to customization with CSS. It's a literal setting! I don't use it, of course. If I want to change something visually, I just push it upstream. Y'all folks can do the same, of course, but I won't accept everything. So you've got custom CSS. I think it works well.
