- usrbinbash 3y agoThat's all well and good, but has nothing to do with my argument. If you need to invoke a program for every prompt, when the alternative is to just let the shell do it's thing, it's no longer "minimal", period.
- daliusd 3y agoWell, we are arguing about semantics. You say that minimal means that it must be functionally minimal. I say that minimal UX is valid meaning as well.
- usrbinbash 3y ago> Well, we are arguing about semantics. No, we are not. "minimal" has a defined meaning, and "minimal" and "minimalism" as a design philosophy are not the same.
- sevg 3y agoTo use your own argument against you, no, a minimal prompt does not look like this: $ It looks like this:
- usrbinbash 3y agoPlease explain how this "uses my own argument against me", when my argument is that "minimal" prompt doesn't involve calling an external program to build the prompt? Both "$ " and "" can be built by the shell itself.
- sevg 3y agoHeh oh my bad, I didn't realise you have the privilege of gatekeeping what "minimal" means ;) I see one dictionary definition is "the least possible". Seems like the least possible prompt is no prompt at all, but it's really just a matter of opinion ;)
