This is an excellent description. Thank you. I’ve been a consumer of these in an audio capacity (CSound digital audio synthesis[0]), but haven’t seen as simple and lucid a description as this. [0] http://www.csounds.com/manu

I’ve mentioned the same thing before and ironically, CMake was developed in the course of building medical imaging software[0] that was using Tcl, a flexible, embeddable language, but then decided to roll their own ad hoc language in this c

The ease of use/management is a big deal, and to an extent I think it falls out of technical design decisions (proper database for repo storage that fully, easily, obviously allows first class multiple checkouts of a single repo inst

I use it for lots of projects, spanning years of work, including commercial projects with ~20 devs. Those projects aren’t public, and I’m sure lots of other people do use it that way. It’s still not going to rival the install base of git.

Fossil does have private branches[0] and the recommended way to publish private work is to integrate it into a non-private branch and sync as usual. [0] https://www.fossil-scm.org/xfer/doc/trunk/www/priva

It doesn’t need to be on a random high port, just not port 22. 222, for example.

Good points. If it is a “v1.0”, this might be an example of the moment of paradigm shift but not “polished” or tweaked to completely contemporary expectations. I’m so used to seeing Bauhaus (esp knock-on or secondary influences a la Dieter

That kitchen looks lovely in the still image, but is it functional? Its jars look hard to reach and dust-prone (unless the idea is to keep a smaller quantity of coffee in-reach and restock that every few days?) and the pull-out drawers lo

I think you’re correct. It’s an easy-to-grasp metaphor, but cracks appear when you look harder, especially with the specific detail of “restoring to pristine condition”. Illustrative as a fable of value-add, though.

I think PG said[0] it well: Suppose you own a beat-up old car. Instead of sitting on your butt next summer, you could spend the time restoring your car to pristine condition. In doing so you create wealth. The world is-- and you specificall

After reading ‘jecxjo ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18825038 ) it occurred to me I used ed(1) (or ex(1)??) as part of my response to heartbleed mitigation at $TELCO. A scripted edit across a few thousand machine inst

Understanding that ex(1) is not ed(1), I did give myself an “ex(1) challenge” where it was my only editor, whenever available, for 4 weeks. That experiment probably lasted ~6 months, then I drifted back to vi. I’d happily go back to ex(1) t

Off the top of my head, does ‘%’ capture all the lines? (It does that, or stands-in for the actual filename, or something else :/ )

Same. Am always envisioning having to sit down at a default configuration or _somebody else’s_ custom config. Emacs was the one I (ironically) resisted the most.

This actually says nothing, when you get down to it. The key word is “fundamentalism”, and probably any $foo fundamentalism will satisfy the premise. Take away “fundamentalism” and you’ll see how the “abstinence only” comparison is weak, an
