User friendliness is not binary but a spectrum and CVS is way above being "usable", even if it isn't the most user friendly VCS out there (hint: git isn't either). It certainly is not "insult to whatever of the user

Since Sway is basically i3 remade on Wayland you can use i3 on OpenBSD.

You make it sound like CVS kills children. People worked with CVS just fine for decades and OpenBSD has made their own tools for CVS to improve their development experience and, frankly, if a developer - regardless of age, lets not get into

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here.

I know, but writing a coherent manual is a different task than writing a short reference page, especially if you want to include more content than just a reference (e.g. user guides or tutorial sections) and writing text that assumes inline

Seems that OpenBSD folks understand what the page in manpage means. Too bad they do not have something similar to info for full manuals (yes, you hate the default GNU info viewer, i know, my point is about the hypertext format with indexi

The open source license allows me to fork the implementation of Go, but not use a derivative of the Go name for my derivative of the Go implementation (to ensure/show, among others, that people know that my work is about Go and not som

Both Go and the Go logo are trademarked, see the responses in the linked post (use private mode if Google asks for login).

That is splitting hairs, the name is part of the language - it is how you refer to it, you cannot remove it. If i name my implementation Glag it wont be Go, it will be Glag which just happens to be compatible with Go. Someone using my com

So if it isn't Google's language, does it mean i can go and make my own compiler for it, call it -say- "Crinus Go" (to differentiate it from Google's Go but still point out that it is an implementation of Go) and no

My comment was about the <<I've never understood why some shy away from "number of dependencies" per-se for C projects>> part, not Guile itself although it also applies to what you wrote, specifically this: > t

Each dependency increases the cognitive load for maintenance (something goes wrong/is slow/doesn't compile in that platform or requires steps incompatible with the rest of the project/other issue, is it me or the 2083942

I'm sure people are making WPF apps, but they (the apps) were always a minority and they always had issues like weird text rendering ignoring the system settings, recreated controls that look 'kinda' like the native ones but

No, isn't Blend just a separate designer though? A big plus for Lazarus (and Delphi and C++ Builder) is that the designer is integrated with the IDE and you are working with 'live' objects which extends even beyond the GUI de

Personally i find writing XAML a step backwards when it comes to UI design and WYSIWYG tools like Lazarus which has some great layout tools are much better (and BTW personally i'd say that LCL is the best UI framework i've worked

Well, most CRTs had mediocre image quality and people today remember a only the best of them (Sony, LG) which limits options and even then AFAIK it isn't exactly easy to make and distribute them which means a new CRT of good quality wi

I just wrote that the API is garbage and then you recommend me to use the API? :-P The entire STL/StdC++ has the same design style, it is garbage all the way down. I'd rather use something like Qt (which is far from great, but bet

Why? The Windows desktop is by a gigantic margin the most popular desktop environment. Mac and Linux combined cover perhaps a 10% or less, so if 90% coverage isn't enough for such a renaissance, why would a +~10% change that (especiall

On the contrary, the standard vector and string classes are garbage UX-wise (e.g. unlike pretty much every other single dynamic array implementation in existence, vector does not have something like an "index of element" method an

That is like saying C++ is cross platform so MFC is cross platform as well. WPF relies on Windows specific functionality.

Doesn't surprise me, you are not alone in this as others who have used classic VB do not really see the difference between classic VB and VB.NET and to some extent not even (most of) Microsoft seems to get what makes classic VB special

They are similar only on a superficial level, at their core they have not only vast differences in terms of how they work but they also have a different philosophy. It is not a matter of what you can do in terms of features, but also how yo

Visual Basic and VB.NET are two very different beasts, only sharing a name. The VB6 runtime is indeed updated to run, but really how much update does it need beyond sticking the DLLs around? The VB4 and VB5 runtimes run perfectly fine on Wi

Yeah, VCL is one of the best GUI frameworks out there (although its C++ bindings had to twist and bend and extend the language a bit to work and as a result it feels a bit awkward compared to Delphi). Although despite C#/.NET being goo

Yeah it is. It is a bit complex, but it has a spec that should allow for independent implementations (AFAIK KDE has its own, for example).
