I'm always so happy to see Eiffel mentioned. I read Object Oriented Software Construction immediately before I read the book on (then recently-released) Java 1.2, and it made it so clear how much Java got wrong :(

I switched to Dvorak at least 10-15 years ago (and have been enjoying it ever since) so I can't tell you exactly how long it took me, but I'd say to expect to have lower productivity in Dvorak for a month. By then you should be at

This seems to work very similarly to how fzf hooks into ctrl+r to let you browse/search your history. fzf is a much more general tool. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Totally agree. Also, Go was refreshing. Intentionally limited, yes, but simple-yet-powerful. Then they show off Dart and it looked like yet another 90's-style curly-brace language, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who asked

> I do think it's a good bit simpler and cleaner than it would be in Java. Is it really? My Java is rusty, but now that Java has type inference it looks nearly exactly like what you'd type in Java (minus `public static void`, `

I think a lot of what people found off-putting about Dart is that Google already recently came out with a new language that has become very successful. Announcing another one, which at first glance looks like yet another curly brace langu

TLDR: don't silently ignore exceptions like try: do_something() except: pass and make sure you log your stack traces somehow.

Yeah I have a (much) older MacBook Pro as my main home machine still. I've been wanting to replace it for a long time but as it has sat on my desk for years (I have a work laptop) I really want to buy a desktop machine. But, Apple does

What you're saying is: "I define 'desktop machine' different than you do, therefore you're wrong". Give me that hardware in a box that I could upgrade, and don't make me buy a monitor I don't want or

By laptop-on-a-desk I mean it's non-upgradeable with an integrated monitor. It's not a desktop machine.

This is so frustrating. I'm a longtime/loyal Apple customer, but they refuse to make any hardware lately I'm willing to buy. I don't want a laptop with a touchbar. They don't make any desktop computers: Their last M

Please reread the examples, which are specifying multiple searches and custom colors for each type of match, something that GNU grep can't do.

I take it it's because the migration files are auto-generated anyway, so it's odd to auto-format previously auto-generated files. You also don't really want to have repository churn on those files since they're generated
