But at what expense? Does Jira ever frustrate you? Imagine how it frustrates developers that hate working with overly complex time-sink software. I can change my email client. I can change my text editor to my liking. I can change nearly an

I have ssh sessions to remote machines, I use multiple terminal windows, and multiple tabs. I don’t use tmux, is there something about tmux that makes it hard to know where you are?

I guess I usually know what directory I'm in and if I ever need a reminder I use pwd. With at least 6 months of commands in ~/.bash_history $ history | grep pwd | wc -l 10

I do like to have colorized output for my interactive CLI tools, but I will never understand a prompt other than "$" or "#". Do people really need to continuously see all the noise like the host name, their username, the

Make has phony targets for when you don't want a file. Any update criterion can be delegate to a script or a helper tool such as with latexmk for building LaTeX documents with Make.

Exactly this! Make is the worst build system, except for all the others.
159.
by eddieh 6y ago
If the build system isn't first a DSL for specifying a DAG, then it fails at being at least as good as Make. Maybe "build graphs are acyclic" is a falsehood, but I would never want to use a build system that isn't fundam

Is the source code for this available? I couldn't find anything on the site or by looking through https://code.nasa.gov or https://opensource.gsfc.nasa.gov

As I'm already an Emacs user, I'd start by looking at what Emacspeak ( http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net ) can offer. Since Emacs itself is way more than a text editor this package is also much more than that. It isn&#x27

I learned how to program in VB4 too. My parents had no idea why I wanted it or what it was for. I used to take the textbook sized manuals with me to read/study while camping and fishing.

Is Java in fashion? This thread is about the fashionability of languages, not the age of the language.

This thread is about fashion. Did you read what the OP quoted? Here it is: > Languages, especially dynamic ones and their runtime environments come and go like fashion.

Well, Ruby is waning, Python is surging, and JavaScript is peaking. How will this look in 5 years? How about 10 years? Would you say PHP is in fashion? How about Perl or Tcl?

I understand the concern, but [ is one of those idiosyncratic shell builtins that you eventually get used to and the help does point you toward maybe typing "help test". But, yeah it should probably say it explicitly or just appen

For CRS-1 there was a risk of a lower altitude obit, that wasn't the outcome—they lost the satellite. For CRS-7 Wikipedia says "SpaceX officials stated that it could have been recovered if the parachutes had deployed, but the soft

People don't even remember the SpaceX failures. SpaceX CRS-1's secondary payload was left in an unstable orbit and ORBCOMM's $10 million prototype burned up in Earth's atmosphere about 4 days later. CRS-2 had an issue in

You’d think that, but nope. Signed up during the beta by invite, never used them. Unless not using them violates the terms of service? I have all the recovery info too and original passwords. It accepts the password and recovery stuff, but
