The problem is the tone of voice. One thing is you asking, humbling, why did this happen, if it can be reverted since I had a problem in my specific setup and how I (as the non paying customer) can disable it. The other is to be arrogant sa

by m45t3r 7y ago
Paying customers should have an option to disable it, however unpaid customers should either rollout their own solution or deal with the consequences of running business with free, uncontrolled software.

Yeah, the fact that Google rolled up a fix in less than two days really shows how good they software engineering is. I am sure that those multi million dollar enterprises affected by this issue have other softwares so reliable that this was

One thing is "well, your experiment broke our <detailed information of setup>, is there some instructions on how to disable it?" So, well, showing humbleness since this is a software that you're using for free. The othe

Any non-trivial piece of code will probably be a pain in the ass to port for a more recent version of the language, and the level of PITA depends on the size of the project X size of the changes in the language. Case in point, I worked in a

Python is probably faster than Elisp (or at least at the same order of performance), and Emacs is fine performance wise. And when Emacs is slow, generally the problem in those cases are architectural/algorithm decisions of Emacs, not b

I mean, there is some things that Bash really shines, specially for gluing code or working with pipelines. However, not rarely this ends in a trap: "oh, I already have this small shell script here, I will just add another feature"
249.
by m45t3r 7y ago
This seems very interesting, however also dangerous. I mean, this seems to make Bash a modern programming language, however if you do need something like this a modern scripting language like Python would be better in those cases.

What do you mean "plain ol requirements.txt" in this case? Either you're pinning your dependencies in requirements.txt (in this case, you wouldn't have a problem since requirements.txt is acting like a lockfile) or you&#

Sure it is a quirk, however it could really be better. Anyway, I think the fact that people has more patience with learning a language than tools is that learning a language is fun, while tooling is just boring.

Python itself is not a mess, the packaging part of Python is. However, Python is also one of the oldest programming languages still in use and one of the first to have the concept of installable dependencies (easy_install). Now it is kinda

No, OP case is for developers setting up their development machines. I feel his pain since I work with Clojure, that 99% of time it simply works however in the 1% of time that it breaks its is painful to fix. BTW, the uberjar equivalent in

I think Python could be a good alternative. It has modules in stdlib to interface with SQLite and Tk if you want to do an (ugly) user interface quickly. It does lack a good user interface to manipulate the database, though.

This post sounds kinda like a satire: "we have problem X, did you try something.js to fix it?"

Your reply doesn't make sense since Samsung can simple relax its SELinux if this were actually the issue (they did this in the past, btw, to implement some features in the past). Remember that SELinux is simple a set of rules that can

Yeah. Most people misunderstand Arch's KISS principle. If you look for most decisions Arch took in the last years, most of them were focused in simplifying the distro and reducing the maintainer burden. So things like removing the TUI

I would recommend the author to try NixOS instead. It is not like that you wouldn't have issues however mostly things works (never had the kind of issue the author reported in this post, for example). I think the difference between Nix

I think in this case having bad input is part of your business logic and should be treated as such. This is very easy in Elixir, specially since you can overload a function using pattern matching and so you can create a function (defined af

I think this is more connect with the lack of familiarity with the language ecosystem than anything. I avoid tools written in node.js, even if installing is somewhat easy, most because I don't really know how to manage them later. Btw

Yeah, it is. However my point is, mods seems to delete your account without any unnecessary complications, so it is fine for me to now have a feature to do this. Like I said below, it is really reasonable to not have a feature if the number

I am not cargo culting, however I disagree with you that not having deleting account option is “actively user hostile”. It would be if it happened like Blizzard did, disallowing users to do an account deletion. Mods seems fine to delete you
