It seems like you haven't been exposed to spaghetti code with a million comments vs well designed modular code with few but useful comments. People don't just dream up that difference, it does often change other programmers'

Thanks for pointing out that NB doesn't denote minor comments (as I believed), quite the opposite.

Also, I sometimes have files cross-referenced with a different indexing or names through symbolic links; is there a better UNIX way of doing that?

Why make your vision of human success hinge on a sudden global capacity to not litter objects for which there is zero incentive not to litter? Think about all the great or crazy human successes; do you think they were enabled by perfect ind

Well it's quite common for people using “normal” email-exchanged MS office revisions. I have no clue if there's specific tooling for these cases. Of course you could brush them off and say they wouldn't be a problem if they j

In supercomputers, there are such mechanisms for reactive congestion management: messages are sent to emitters to temporarily reduce flow. It works at small network scale but doesn't scale up, because congestion can happen often and fo

I believe using a checkbox element and the :checked selector alongside siblings matching would do the trick.

It seems to imply the only ethical form of control is through capital directly, so through fines. Though it seems obvious that in such a case others in the company would want to punish the individual who got caught.

I suppose an argument against banning such profiles is that it's easier to spot a consistently bad actor than to try to play whack-a-mole with new profiles.

They would not; there are only etymological reasons.

I have an intuition that any line editor would find its limits quite fast for most existing code. (After having used ed a bit on regular files I came across, it's often both surprisingly useful and surprisingly obtuse compared with Vim

TUI text editors, debuggers, pagers, music players are still very much used, if maybe not very actively developed. I guess even style escape codes would break line printers? This would discard a vast amount of tools I personally use daily.

I have a buddy in Spain called something like “jébi”. Took me a while to understand it's supposed to mean “heavy” as in “heavy metal”.

Including Renault we now have 2 weird ways to spell the O sound in French (eau, eo) and 1 weird silent pair of consonants (lt).

I definitely noticed in these videos some color artifacts where red and blue colors bleed for short bursts. Are these inherent to butterflow or specific to this channel?

Everything is relative. I complain often since I've been taking line 13 regularly, but in general it holds up very well in comparison with other systems.

This is 4-digit hex rgba notation. It's a shorthand for #rrggbbaa, literally as #rgba. In this case alpha is f = 1.0, so #ff9f = #ff9.

This is just the old array of structs vs struct of arrays trade-off, right? This is true of pretty much any programming language's low level data structures.

Sorry I hadn't seen this earlier. I don't have a screenshot right now, but it's just as you might expect, the whole tab line is removed (the nav bar line with menus comes to the top instead). [This post]( https://ww

Good thing I'm not in charge of these things at my company, I'd probably look for people who used hardware properly rather than just rely on Apple to make their POS GUI IDEs to run... Most of my colleagues run IDEs, but not the on

edit: I just installed the tab-less extension, edited my userChrome.css, and I'm really happy with the results. I'm going to give Firefox a go from now on!

I actually don't switch to Firefox because I'm on i3. I fell in love with surf-like browsing, and am able to somewhat get the same result with chrome in --app mode. There is however no way (to my knowledge) to get tab-less full-

Well you can't read either from /dev/null, and I don't think that's just a question of permissions. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to get /dev/null to behave like an executable.
