Great question! It's not ideal, but has been outweighed so far by the other benefits I mentioned. I do track the issues I run into due to lack of static types[1] in the Manual_tests files in each of my projects, e.g. https:/&#x2F

Why does open source matter to you? Is it to preserve the option to pay someone to make changes to it?

I just looked at this. It feels awfully brittle. My goal at the moment is to try to support every version of LÖVE going forward. All my apps work with any version after 11.0. Hopefully that streak won't be too onerous to continue in th

I was trying to square the same tension in my mind when I made OP. And the compromise I arrived at was, "try to find people with complementary interests to organize with." That's really what "software with thousands of u

It's quite possible I'm too far captured by my own belief system, because it seems not a contest. Perhaps someone else needs to write the rebuttal, and defend mainstream software with constant bugs, vulnerabilities that stay unpat

I think the crux of our disagreement is: is popular software mature enough and regulated enough yet to be worth distributing to 100 million users? I think the answer is overwhelmingly "no". In Carlota Perez's terms, I think w

But we also went through a period of trying lots of variations that ended up on the road. I suppose your point is even more valid if we switch to planes. But I'd counter by comparing the levels of regulation between planes and apps. Ho

The concrete thing I'm doing and generalizing from boils down to: * Starting from Lua which seems to have a decent security story; * Changing a few lines of _safe_ Lua for yourself without introducing new buffer overflows and so on; *

Oh I like it. It looks unambiguous, and it feels just as mnemonic as Markdown. I can't believe I haven't seen it before..

You're basically saying pooling code between a large group might be worthwhile even if it requires you to take on a lot of book-keeping the computer could in principle help with. I don't think I've seen anyone else put it thi

That's a great blog post, and the video alludes to it. But it covers the same ideas in only the loose sense that it's about some of the same topics since it's by the same author. But it's 13 years older than the video. I

Ah, a fellow packrat! I have every command I ever typed into a shell since around 2005, and my history weighs in at 1 CD or 650MB (as of a couple of years ago) I'm probably being wasteful of space because I store each session in a sepa

I have a similar prompt. Having commands alone on a line makes them easier to grab with OP's beloved triple click. Multi-line commands indent right, so I'm more likely to use them. And I added the color after having trouble pickin
