It's not hard to explain, it's a logical and small extension of other compiler-driven attributes. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a bad change to the language.

Maybe he remembered hearing the word logarithms from high school math and thought “oh yes this fellow knows what he’s talking about, that’s an 11th grade word, I remember that from the Reagan years”

Or, hot take here, they just want you to be more productive on Windows so you continue buying Windows. Surprise! That's how innovation works! You keep using the product if it's easier than the alternative.

Windows has MSBuild that is just as expressive as Makefiles, don’t use the lack of make as an excuse.

I half disagree. In the case where you are working 20 hours a week and meeting all your deliverables, your employer should simultaneously promote you and give you more work to do. This is assuming that your 20-hour workload is equivalent to

When you press the button, the window rolls down slightly before the door latch is opened. This prevents you from putting stress on the window when you push the door to open it. When you use the handle, the door latch opens and the window

I second MSBuild as one of the best build systems I’ve had to work with. It absolutely has a learning curve but once you “get” how projects are evaluated and executed then you can start writing your own targets to do whatever you want.

Right, because sourcing a ruby file to install homebrew on macOS is what “real” operating systems should do.

No of course not, unstructured text is the pinnacle of CLI UX and anything else is a waste of oxygen. /s I frequently SSH into systems that are not running desktop environments and being able to run htop, iftop, tmux, or any "grap

Probably not, but satellites are not the only choice for connecting people to the internet. Sure, they win at the rule-of-cool contest, but traditional terrestrial copper and fiber optics (maybe with some RF backhaul for the really remote p

Never made that argument, I also think the treaties on the non-militarization of space are wishful thinking.

You’re technically correct, but I doubt deterrence is higher on SpaceX’s priority list than the USAF’s.

I think it’s naive to think the X-37 doesn’t have the capability to be used a weapon. A spacecraft able to stay in orbit for years with the ability to hide its payload from observers we must assume is carrying something onboard that can be

MSBuild assumes you want a 1-to-1 relation between projects and assemblies, so assemblies and projects are interchangeable. There is no hybrid C#/F# compiler than can produce one assembly out of source code from both languages, so you’

Disclosure, I work at MSFT and I have a special place in my heart for PowerShell. PowerShell provides incredibly flexible syntax, enough that it can satisfy most styles of script writing. The practice you describe (short names in CLI and lo

Yes but like the parent poster said, all of the CLR features are really to serve one language: C#. All other languages primarily targeting the CLR must be understood in the context of “how would you express this thing in C# and how will a C

There’s nothing wrong with that approach, the person raising the support ticket likely hasn’t read through all the documentation of the product they’re using.

This resonates with how I like to solve problems. Instead of thinking about how we can fix it or mitigate it, how can we make it impossible for a certain kind of problem to occur? Maybe it's just my procrastination speaking but I find

Isn’t the advantage that EditorConfig allows you to choose a style over the style enforced by the language? For new languages and markup files this isn’t a problem because they may have developed a style guide in conjunction with the langua

I think you have to remember that you are in the 1% of people that want MORE control over a computer. Most users out there want more simplicity and flashier UI. Microsoft cannot please everyone so they opt to please the average users and de

The verb list is, in practice, 90% Get-* and Set-* , so for most users that will cover the case where they need to read and modify some system state in a script. It may not cover your particular use case (I want to foo this bar), but as res

We’d have to look at numbers to argue this objectively, but I highly doubt that a tourist spending 1-2 weeks a year in a city will yield more revenue to the local government than a resident living there 365 days a year.

Because of taxes. OP likely has been paying taxes all his life, his parents likely paying taxes all their life, and so on... in a way, the city belongs more to the OP than not.

From an engineering perspective, you're right, lisp really does give you too much power. From a linguistic perspective, isn't this the same as accents and dialects developing in isolated groups of people? We don't fault Austr
