The difference from one set of instructions to the other is typically irrelevant.

How is that unlikely? 4k commits is nothing. Any project with a dozen developers is going to reach that easily.

> crappy, badly thought out, ubiquitous, low entry barrier languages It is easy to criticize designs that are 47 years old in today's context. I am betting you wouldn't have done a better job half a century ago either.

Compiling is a destructive process. While you can definitely learn a lot by reading IR and figuring a program out, and while it is easy to show why programming in ASM is time consuming, I don't think it makes sense to teach compiler th

Sorry, but all those are buzzwords. In C/C++, I can do live debugging, reverse-time debugging, edit-and-continue debugging, multi-device debugging, multi-threading debugging... We also got language servers, on the fly retesting and rec

> the first time a debugger appears and you fix the bug in the debugger and just hit the “continue running” button is a rush That is possible in other many other languages, including system ones like C.

Reviews are voluntary. Peer review is not (if you want to keep your career, that is).

Slow? It is definitely faster to use a mouse to click a word in a text than use the keyboard to get to it. (I have no idea about how Eclipse does it, though). Otherwise we would be playing RTS games with the keyboard. (I am a competitive RT

Yeah, that was a bummer for me. Discord is admittedly awesome, but not in line with openness.

Yeah, I don't like it at all. Yes, some enums are intended to be expanded. Still, as long as something is a compile-time error , I don't care about having to update my code when I choose to upgrade compilers. In fact, even if the

So much this. It depends on which docs you are looking at, but some are very broken, with broken links, broken tables, broken text formatting... Do you know of any way to get a handle to the old docs or perhaps a full MSDN dump of 3 yea

Indeed. This point is usually missed. You can even run Windows apps in BSD and macOS.

Rearranging a line is 3 keystrokes in vim, which I use for that particular action, since it is perfect for that, rather than my normal GUI IDE.

Perhaps you do. I definitely don't run untrusted software. In any case, the fact that the Terminal could be allowed to access all the disk has nothing to do with child processes being allowed to access all the disk.

It does not make sense. If you are installing untrusted software in your computer, all hope is lost.

by gdxhyrd 7y ago
Who cares? The terminal is a trusted system application. This is a computer, not a phone. Oh, wait, Apple's marketing...

You are confusing the model with the features built on top of that model.

Yes, but in the far future. There are many things to be done in the standard, in the implementations, in the frameworks...

Very good news! Competition in this space is hard and is always welcomed, in my opinion.

Good to hear it is making progress, but last time I looked, the docs were all over the place and many were outdated...

git log, copy paste hash, git checkout If you have a dirty wd, stash. But, to be honest, I almost never perform that action, and when I do I use the web browser.

Git model is simple. What is complex is the hundred features and commands it provides on top of that model.
