You're forgetting that the author of the article might not have your level of experience in computer science/engineering. And now you've added a sneering comment to their HN thread. And caused me to make another one that&#x27

Yes, that's my worry also (knowing nothing about the world of contemporary classicists): in Anglophone countries such as the USA and UK it's become normal even among educated people to think that speaking a foreign language is jus

It looks like VSCode is running many threads (some as separate processes) on my machine. Is what you're saying that it does not provide an API for extensions to schedule work on other threads?

Is "semantic analysis" in the sense you used it similar to "type checking"?

Oh thanks for that link, that's really interesting. Can someone explain the paragraph below -- I thought "this is an invocation of a function named bar" was what we mean by semantic information: > All features are based

by da39a3ee 5y ago
I believe I've read in various places that the difficulty of doing syntax highlighting fast enough is precisely why it isn't done via LSP. Am I right in thinking that the Semantic Tokens part of the spec (currently) falls short

It’s too general though isn’t it. It would be like the “doing stuff” industry being a thing. There might be people who use the term, but that doesn’t mean the term points to any actual phenomenon in the real world.

I don't think it's a pager problem for the following reasons: - If I do `man help2manOutput | cat` then it does not page, but I still see `a` and `a(R)` in place of the desired unicode characters - `less help2manOutput` renders th

by da39a3ee 5y ago
Thanks. However, now help2man is outputting the unicode character correctly, but `man $help2manOutput` is displaying things like `a(R)` and `a` instead of the unicode character. I've also tried with the `LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8` env var set

by da39a3ee 5y ago
It would be cool if help2man worked perfectly. In fact the output needs a few fixups -- it looks like it has problems with non-ASCII characters? But if those fixups can be made automatically it's not bad and I agree might be worth addi

You seem to be missing my point which is that, as a maintainer of a command line tool, I need to and want to cater to users of all OSs. And in fact, I will allocate my efforts more towards popular OSs. I genuinely am sure that your BSDs are

by da39a3ee 5y ago
Yes, it is. But MacOS (and Windows) are popular OSs for laptop users. I'm the maintainer of a command line tool that is reasonably popular and I believe that the majority of my users are MacOS. So the question is quite concrete for me
