> It's always "you chose the wrong distro!" I know what you mean, but in this instance the complaint is poor UI/graphics while the distro in question is using a very cut-down desktop environment (running in a VM).

Honestly, the only examples I can think of which support your claim are development related tools/libraries.

Killer feature: comments. Sure, for APIs comments are bad. However, for configuration things are so much better when you can document or temporarily remove things, without having hacks which pollute the data. Trailing commas are also nice t

The pool of workers available to UK companies has just been significantly and suddenly reduced. There is an actual shortage - the number of vacancies has exceeded the number of unemployed, without even taking skill into consideration.

It appears to actually compress your JS, rather than make it "shorter but still valid". The code ends up being something like: eval(decompress("hfkfkvj...")); function decompress(data) {...}

But if there aren't enough workers to give the pay increase to, then what? Reducing the pool of workers (Brexit) doesn't sold the wage problem. If a production line requires 30 people, and there are only 20... increasing their wag

Or just increase wages and increase prices.

Right click on the line number (of the debugger statement), and select "Never pause here". You'll need to do that for each statement.

OK, I worded that very badly. I'm not using it because they're scarce. I mean to say: The reason someone could say I'm "abusing" it, is because they're scarce. They shouldn't be scarce, and they'r

I live in social housing (in the UK), and could easily afford to buy or rent non-social... and I was already in that situation when my current tenancy started. You could say I abuse it, and I agree in principal. However, I'm only abusi

Ah, I don't know... I don't depend on an IDE, they just make things much quicker and easier for me. And let's say I do depend on one.. it's not like I'm going to be dropped at a computer where I'm not allowed t

You're not wrong. However, there are times when CSS isn't enough. For example: - The Mobile vs Desktop design differences are too great. - The site was originally created without considering mobile, and retrofitting mobile support

Well, for me it's easier - perhaps because I'm used to reading parameters in type+name pairs. The data type is right next to the parameter name - and it will be in the pop-up provided by my IDE when I use the function... I don&#x2

But that doesn't mean hide everything from view just because it can be accessed via a keyboard short-cut or mouse movement - my eyes are faster and easier to move. Also, code isn't read exclusively in an IDE, nor the same IDE that

Personally, I prefer the type names to be at the start of the line, so I don't need to scan to the end of the line (or guess based on a function name). But I agree, it's a waste to type it all out. So I use an intelligent IDE that

A better example for a typed function would be something like: function Request(string method, string url, RequestOptions options) : Result {...} or Result Request(string method, string url, RequestOptions options) {...}

This sounds like the majority of developers i've worked with. The main difference being you have self awareness.

But your hammer can't be manipulated by a random person anywhere in the world. Software, especially an email client, is significantly more complex. Many people don't have the time, desire, nor ability, to learn how to use it safel
