> My only wish is that emacs were written in an even better language than elisp (like Common Lisp) There are a lot of bad things in CL too, unfortunately. I wonder if a Lisp will become really popular in the near future. Maybe Racket?

Wow, I'm too young to have known the original one, I'm glad I stumbled upon your comment.

Hammock-driven development requires less water, which is good.

That's an interesting assumption. It might be true to a degree, yet I reckon the problem lies in CS teaching. A vast majority of programmers seem to start with imperative languages, hence they are more familiar with the procedural para

That's exactly the point, yes. People just have to properly learn the language.

The point is, performance-wise, it's not the best choice on Mac OS. Not that I care much, I rarely dwell on Apple computers.

Yeah, last time I tried Firefox on Mac OS it was terrible. On my laptop, running GNU/Linux (with lower specs), it's way faster.

> Haskell is much more cognitively demanding than other languages from my experience How? I think Haskell code can be overcomplicated sometimes, but that's not mandatory.

LineageOS, and other custom Android distributions without Google services.

I want to add that, even though (as stated in the article) polite language doesn't imply good intentions, it's a good start nevertheless.

I really think the internet should calm down; this is not even the first time Linus Torvalds takes a break — and in 2005, the result was git.

Especially “this”.

Well, I haven't tried the software, and won't, since I all my needs are already met and I tend to avoid proprietary software anyway. Nevertheless, I think this is a clever strategy from Jon Skinner and his team.

Thank you. I hope this will work!

Only because of the context.

I can't figure out if the pun was intended.

Is there a GitHub/GitLab-like project using ActivityPub?

by ealhad 8y ago
I think the point of a tryout version is to make you buy the software.

“only” federated?

Or any of the instances listed on https://instances.joinpeertube.org

I guess it's a matter of taste/habit.

The problem of a for loop is actually that it's just a for loop. When you see filter, map, or max_by, you know what the code does right away.

Yalp Store is a great app! Incidentally, it violates the Play Store ToS (this is even written in their FAQ[0]) [0] https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore#faq

I wonder why it doesn't use Webpack.

Nice! I don't use VSCode, but I know a few people who do and I’ll gladly point them to this build.

If your fear lies in hjkl, you can try Colemak. - h and l are really close, and if you move your fingers a bit you can have index on h and middle on l. - j and k are on the same column, with j on top and k on bottom. That reminds me of “nat
