I agree, actually :) I ignored this point on purpose, to be more succint. But yes, it could be possible to have a soft limit (e.g. 80, or 100) and then you would have to set a hard limit (say, 85 or 105). But in the end you'd end u

Like I mentioned to the sibling parent, 100 is an OK middle ground. 120, or more, is too long already, and 160 is waaaay beyond what I'd consider acceptable. No way you can fit 2 side-by-side editor panes with those line lengths, unles

100 is OK. But better to wager for 80, so people complain about their preferred 120+, and ending up with an acceptable 100 as a middle ground. On my screen with 1920x1080, 2 side-by-side panels can fit 100 chars, but only if the sidebar is

Funny thing: I recently learned Go, coming from doing some TypeScript and the refreshing feel that was discovering Prettier. I really miss that gofmt applied some limit to line length. In TS I just write a too long line, and Prettier reform

I'd rather have a strict line length limit, than having my coworker creating objects in lines 150 or 180 chars long. So we'd end up discussing what is the best choice. I bet I'd also end up discussing those things with Anthon

It was just a short phrase, but was meant to refer to conversations here in HN (or anywhere ads are discussed) where it's easy to see claims about how ads are a cancer and companies "should not" use them and find a different

Bear with me and take a breath :) If you think with a cold head about it, do you believe the frustration came from the fact that Gimp has made actually bad choices about placement and design of its features? (tools, menus, options, etc...)

Where it is that you see "magic"? QML is a markup language (just like HTML is for web) which can have inline code in it (JavaScript). These QML files are quite literally embedded into the binary, loaded in-memory at runtime, and p

I guess a nice counter would be sticking with cash and saying "I am buying this because the sticker says $19.99 and I got a $20 bill in my pocket, so I'm going to assume I can buy it, right?" I mean, that's silly I know.
