I don't think that would be terribly useful, as a bunch of concepts important to Windows the BSD core utilities would have no idea about. Registry, NTFS, etc. Honestly, I find 'nix users unwilling to learn PowerShell the exact sa

Read this: http://www.lighterra.com/papers/exceptionsharmful/ There is a reason exceptions are often banned from environments and it isn't because they are awesome. They make code "exceptionally" (

I am a bit confused, what is the relevance of that paper to the comment? Unless I misunderstood, the comment appeared to be about flow control issues of exceptions(hidden control flow and corrupt state), and I don't see that addressed

I think HIS point was about premature abstraction and YAGNI. The article was just examples of terrible abstractions... they were intentionally terrible. The "generic solution" was an example of what NOT to do. The article wasn&#

I have to assume he wasn't aware of the feature or simply acted hastily.

I was going to ask, why didn't he convert it to an org and still maintain the tippy-top reins, but none of the day to day? Was it an ill-thought out rage-quit?

It seems like using "glassfrog" or something equiv is required. Makes more sense when you look at a "glassfrog" example: https://glassfrog.holacracy.org/organizations/5

Absolutely. That said, I think modern IDEs suffer from huge discoverability problems as well. The truth is, when you have thousands of features, discoverability had to give way to documentation.

Yeah, it is still a big deal in a lot of environments (including home, making your signification other want to kill you is never good). Years ago I switched from Cherry to Topre when that was a fancy import-only thing. Now, you can get Top

There are a lot of ways to make arguments nicer in Go. The simple on is to just use a configuration struct (or anon struct) at that has nice names. But, for complex stuff, functional options as laid out by Dave Cheney: http://d

The CM brand sort of surprised me. I am a keyboard snob and didn't really consider them as they are marketed as a "gaming" keyboard. Then I saw they had a "Hybrid Capacitive" (read: Topre) keyboard, which is my ab
