I'm a BSD nvi user, so no vim for me. I do apparently have access to cscope database from w/i nvi, but my finger muscle memory wrt (ex)ctags support gets me a long way (perhaps I could do better w/ cscope? Something to look

I use cscope in conjunction w ctags. cscope (which will launch an editor, appropriately ) for a top-level overview/dive, and ctags (from w/i my vi instance, whether vi was launched from cscope or not) when I’m zeroing-in on a prob

Came to say the same thing (or see if someone else said it). This looks like classic multiprocessing, and looks like computing, like music and clothing, is also subject to ~20-year fashion cycles for some things.

I recall reading of one Unix implementation that when executing /bin/false noticed that the spawned shell (/bin/false) had failed (because that’s what /bin/false does, by design) and helpfully launched /bi

Genuinely curious - I’d like to see a more in depth criticism and/or compare/contrast side-by-side.

Can you expound on that?

> If you are strongly concerned about data loss you would probably use backups, _regardless_ if you use git, fossil etc. Agree strongly.

“Orders of magnitude” is probably out of line, and there’s always the case for “horses for courses” (or “tool for the job”, more broadly), but to say git is better than what appeared before (cvs, svn) could be interpreted as both true and u

This is excellent. Addressing cargo cult development with its own self. GitHub == git, git == awesome because Linux and Linus, Linux development communications == email (turntable scratch noise)

Thanks. I was actually more attracted to scheme, then did become a bit confused, but maybe I should just head over to lisp and check harder to see what's what.

by bch 9y ago
Personally I found Lisp and scheme (I'm lumping them together for their similarities) confounding to get into. There are many, many different implementations, and it seemed to me you are adopting a culture and specific ecosystem more t

What's the state of the art with library implementations of org-mode? I feel like I looked into this years ago, but I don't have my notes in front of me. The only way I've used org-mode is the canonical Emacs implementation,
