But why would you opensource terrible code? Even if you want to write an essay about bad practices, it sounds easier to write it just taking extracts to illustrate the points. That said, attributing those extracts that you are criticizing w

None of that invalidates the core issue that "trying to make a general purpose engine without a game is a BadIdea™" ("...if you want it to be used by other people" implied) is a pretty strong belief among experienced gam

I'm really happy for them, but they are among the lucky ones. The less lucky can't say what they think.

As an old boss used to say, "cheap, but not as in 'inexpensive'". Too often, bad companies overspend in the wrong places and skimp on actually valuable stuff. It's amazing how a company doing this can still survive

Oracle never told them company to NOT test the backups. That was the company's own doing (and demise). So the question is, why did the company not think of testing their backups, and generally doing a full validation of the system befo

How many enterprise web tech products from 1997 do you think survive today with a healthy architecture and usable design? Plus that whole "I told Cisco leadership, but they didn't listen" surely was not the first time it ever

Carmena is the best thing that has ever happened to this city, precisely because she is always trying to do what's needed not what's convenient. Sadly, there are populists and selfish people everywhere around the world like vultur

I find that the first 50 lines are faster / more immediate without types. By 500 lines it's largely even. By 5000 you will have to pry types off my cold dead hands. I wish I could be convinced by the likes of Rich Hickey that type

No, it has a great team and the powerful Microsoft behind it, and MS is dogfooding it enough to make me feel they are not going to pull the plug.

I use Ctrl+D to close a terminal, Ctrl+Z does not do that. Or does it and it's always been prevented for me by clink?

Clink adds ctrl-D to cmd.exe, that alone puts it among the first 5 installs in a new system.

I believe the slowdown is due to the clink prompt running external programs in order to find git status etc. I run clink without ConEmu (cmdr is a pack of both with some config) and recently redid the prompt to make it less functional but M

Same goes for web apps, you are editing a google sheet and never worry about saving it. However, there are forms of work that are a mess when they are interrupted. Long rendering jobs for example.
