Yes I agree that implementations must evolve. Still, there are cases where old architectures are just brilliant. Having said that, I need to add, I am not an expert to say MVCC is good enough to be considered equally good like other write-c

Btw, hard not to love the line "it's just a hobby, won't be big" from original announcement of Linus... Be careful what you promise ;)

I was under impression that he started around 1989 and also that's when he had a debate with prof. Tanenbaum, but now I see it was later. My mistake

Still I am very happy to use every day the technology designed in early 70s by Ken Thompson and colleagues, so far in that specific field many tried to invent something more "modern" and "better" and failed, with an exce

Few technical comments: Go's calling convention is using registers, except when writing own assembly functions then it's stack-based; the latter is also how it worked in the past. See https://go.dev/s/regabi

Erm... The title is rather wrong.. doesn't encourage thinking the author has actually understanding of the topic - I like to think he had, but the way he writes about the topic, also within the article, is confusing at least.. I mean,

A mention of "cofounder dating app" made me stop and thing wtf is wrong here. Why the push for having cofounder at all? C'mon such person can potentially have bigger impact on certain aspects of your life than a spouse.

Irony is that this article is hosted on a page overrun by ads

There is a big lie about this mythical low demand. No, people will demand more of what they really know, if you feed them with better things they will demand more better things. But the point is, the cheap news are related to junky ads and

I hope there will come time for Forth to get more attention, or dare I say, to stop being so underrated. It is so great tool, even just for stretching your brain cells..

Strategically thinking, after setting the shredder on fire it will be harder to shred the code of the future emacs clones! :D

Nice rewrite for 1.23. Btw, just sent you a PR for a typo in the readme.

I know complaining about downvote is not the right thing, but the above is someone else's comment, not mine. Why was it downvoted (I see it grayed) ? It's an useful information without zealotry or "we-know-betterism".

Might be written in a hurry and maybe the author was thinking that not allocating new Iterator, which is in fact wrapper around iter.Seq, will produce less heap garbage. But I guess it's the same amount of garbage, because the size of

I think the author rather refers to "tamagotchi tooling" and constant adapting libraries to new trends. It was not that much about language changes per se

Btw, important factor: you can only see the big picture properly if you co-created the setup. Hiring senior rockstars as a reaction to problems will satisfy some short-term goals but not solve the problems overall

this is smart, but also: the overall design was so overengineed in the first place..

Are you serious? I mean, are you writing automated tests of /usr/bin/man ?

I will raise a glass of wine for the good impressions of whoever at 0:30am is taking care of automated tests instead of a glass of wine. kidding , but also: please get the perspective..

No, I didn't! But I was happy to see such a makefile target exists and one doesn't need to go through console logs to see wtf was installed, or just shrug and think "yet another project made like it's the center of the u

Apart from all the audio goodies, that's one of the few projects around that has actually working make uninstall. So much thanks for giving a good example

Apart from a sober and common-sense thinking in your comment, I like the term "ornamental complexity" :)

Very useful explanation, because at first it seemed unusual to see it on htmx.org, but well, different projects have different needs.

That's fair, thank you and I accept this. And you know, "club" is a totally different word. I would be even kind of proud of having such a label :) As for my lack of broader answer, didn't yet have time for it and I woul

I can comply if the same rule is applied to the passive-aggresive cult remark above. But if it's not, I say no to double standards. In fact, my original remark didn't (yet) revealed much details and reasoning about my view on gami

Yeah exactly, in the said example, tmux survived because it had better features - who uses screen today? The key bindings confusion was a fixable annoyance. We weight pros and cons quite often and not necessarily based on a default configur
