It seems that instead of fixing it it is an error now [0]. This and the comment from the issue [1] do not inspire confidence in me. [0] https://github.com/elm/compiler/commit/0e669b8ad076f64e450f2... [1] ht

I only said that price is an overriding consideration. It would not matter how much better it is, if it would not be free.

Don't kid yourself with it. People use vscode, because it's free - first - and because it's great - second. It wouldn't have probably even 1% of it's user base and plugin writers otherwise.

If they would only use something like rsync or ostree at the least. But if the biggest files are archives it would require recompression. If it's more like an uncompressed tar archive then it should be easier, but still it would requir

I'm not a webdev, but TypeScript has an appeal for me. I think one thing that clearly separates it from others is tooling. VS Code, love it or hate it, is an enabler and currently it works great with TS, both are Microsoft products. Al

This reminds me of a benchmark of sorts, that gave a ratio of the size of a whole size to the size of its image rendered as JPEG. One could think of a map overlay to bring back some interactivity. Does anyone remember it? It was once featur

That's useful! Thanks for the pointer. Although one must be careful, because awk still can overwrite files and shell out to rm.

1. I was thinking many times about this - an awk IDE, that would also handle common utility functions (i.e. there is no convenient way to print a range of fields). Maybe an Awk Language Server would be a fun project. 2 & 3. Structural r

It's usually not worth pointing out. Most languages have a single implementation and definition of the language and especially its ecosystem is married to it. Some have more, but usually an ecosystem is popular for only one of them, be

OP had a specific high-levelness in mind, that Rust does not fall into. C is provided as performance baseline, which is a common benchmark. The languages are compared against Python - Nim and Crystal are closer to Python than Rust. For exam

Don't go the way of CSS filters. I tried some of the CSS people here pasted that used it and it is slow. When I scroll fast Firefox can't keep up and I see white background for a second or two before it renders.

AFAIR on Linux shebangs only support single argument so it would fail in this case. One can overcome this treating the file as a shell script: #!/bin/sh # make ignores next line \ set -e # make ignores next line \ exec
