This is just a shell wrapper, yes. Like you, these shell wrappers don't appeal to me either. Like you, I just use a Makefile too. But HN is a large place with all kinds of people with their own preferences. It looks like simple shell w

[[ and ]] are not portable. [ and ] are portable and specified in POSIX. Like if you always use [[ and ]] you are going to be surprised when the default shell used for running unattended scripts in Debian, Ubuntu refuses to run your script.

Another outlier here. Glad to see there are other like minded people on this thread. While viewing emails on the web interface I use the email provider setting to block images from loading. That along with an ad blocker and JS blocker does

The question "How does signaling work without time?" makes complete sense to me. I understand this question. Do you not? The question is actually a rhetoric implying that "signalling" in the chip level involves time, nam

Correct! When I moved out to a certain part of Europe and saw how life is much more than a hustle, it filled me with a renewed energy and perspective towards life.

Exactly! And also keep in mind that all of this is open source created by volunteers like you and me in their free time. Imagine you and me working on a side project like this during weekends. We will probably be focusing on implementing th

Can we not have articles like this with blanket statements like this please? As with everything in software, no one size fits all. Mocks have their place. There are situations when the only way we can test something out is to mock out a cer

Zsh is not POSIX compatible. You need to enable many flags to make it POSIX compatible. Zsh: $ A="foo bar baz"; for X in $A; do echo $X; done foo bar baz Dash: $ A="foo bar baz"; for X in $A; do echo $X; do

The term "free software" as defined by FSF always included permissive open source licenses. Do you have any link or evidence to present that supports your claim that FSF's free software definition excluded permissive licenses

Sorry if this came off as a protest. It is not a protest. Maybe I am overthinking this but creating this page (which is a great idea) and then have a link from it point back to sourcehut (which is an open source business of yours IIRC) seem

It is not more common because popular software don't use it and there is no need to. We don't need yet another FOSS license. There are plenty of them serving different kinds of needs. The license is developed by the author of the

Feels a bit off to have a self-serving link to your own project and not mention it somewhere as disclosure. Nothing wrong about a self-serving link but not disclosing it that seems a bit off to me.

I don't think anyone else cares about what you care about either. Get over yourself! People develop projects. They have fun. Users find the tools that work for them. Nobody really appointed you as the person to worry about what options

Kotlin does not produce machine executables. Kotlin produces JVM bytecode and JVM languages have not caught the attention of HN folks very frequently. Clojure comes up from time to time but I am sure that's because it is a Lisp which i

Welcome to HN. The hashtags look a bit silly. That's not the usual conversation style here. Rest of your comment seems good and on topic. You may also want to prefix your post title with "Show HN: " because that is essentiall
