There are reasons for all these, the first two are both to optimize for VCS changes, since adding something to your first to examples would now only generate a minimum diff[0]. That, and considering Elms roots in Haskell, this is the common

I don't know what you mean about the keyboard, since I would literally use the same keyboard size if I were to have an external one (I'm on a Macbook Air, and would use the bluetooth mac keyboard). Never had a problem and I'm

I can certainly see that as a valid point, but my laptop is (fortunately?) my own. I wouldn't really want a company issued one, since I have no intention of ever spreading my workflow to multiple machines. As for viruses I honestly hav

They support syncing to and from Dropbox directly https://www.sharelatex.com/dropbox . So you can work offline, use your own editor etc.

I'm fairly certain that, that was exactly the parents' point - this is what you'd often see from a beginner in PHP.

by Tehnix 10y ago
Indeed, which is why it's nice to have a compiler catching things that you would have to write tests to catch in PHP.

Interesting case, with a lot of grey areas. I'd say there definitely are some differences between p2p (i.e. torrenting) downloading and streaming, where in p2p you are also actively distributing the illegal content, in contrast to stre

Not that much to be honest, there are some quirks and such as variable scopings (g:, s:, l: a:) and other things, but other than that it's pretty familiar. A few great resources I found after having googled a ton around was [0] and [1]

Unfortunately I haven't tested anything on windows yet, but I'd imagine there might be some quirks with curl and git. When it becomes a bit more stable it will definitely be something I'll look into though :)
