Compilers won't do multiplication by power of two to bit shift for you ? I remember reading in ~2000: the only thing writing a<<2 instead of a/4 will do is make your compiler yawn

2. BigCo owns ProjectOne now 3a. Bigco is now free to release version N+1 as closed source only. 3b. Community can still fork the older version and work on it, but BigCo can continue to develop and sell their original version.

sure, as long as we're talking about 110 to 170k$ non-managing, technical roles in EU, I'd like to see a full eclipse soon (both exist but I think the latter could be easier to find)

And people looking at code may well be as numerous as people looking at assembly. (Which I even like to do)

My car is typically used twice a week and (like many others) I mostly ride my bike or walk. I'm not special at all and I certainly use the car, but it has not replaced walking.

AFAIK, you can't explicitly allocate cache like you allocate RAM however. A bit like if you could only work on files and ram was used for cache. Maybe I am mistaken ? (Edit: typo)

I understand it as "the branch we're purchasing/hiring from", not the inner part of the company.

My proposal would be to define a set of intents for 0-15 with sensible defaults and let terminal themes assign any color they would like to those. 0 would be background, 7 for foreground , 1 for highlight, 3 for titles, 4 for frames and fr

We should define a set of base colors for terminal apps that are used for themes so that we have a common set of colors for all term apps. Text, background, borders, hilight, muted then let the terminal set its theme.

Infortunately, this is where free market stops being a good optimizer and manual settings (laws) need to apply by requiring raiparability, which is difficult (but not completely impossible) to quantify.

ok in that context use error or ok, just dont use color as ~10% of ppl have an issue with seeing colors perfectly (that includes people with epaper displays)

You're right of course but it also depends on how long you want to spend on it. If Python gives you radix sort directly and the C implementation you can have with the same time is bubble sort because you spent much time setting up the

I really think we should converge to semantic codes. By example Background is zero, standard is 7, positive / negative, highlight, colored1,2,3 .. with correct defaults, and let the user have a common 8 or 16 colors palette in the term

Yes that's why I also mentioned text labels. (strikethrough ansi codes aren't also fun to type). Besides, where are you needing 7but clean data ? Isn't that a narrow use case ?

More importantly, dont use color as sole source of information. Strikethrough, emoji or ok / bad can also be used.

In the case of Apple, I really doubt its designers don't dogfood. Do you expect them to have Android phones and linux desktops?

Well CLI and web UIs can also be used remotely. (Arguably even x11 apps can.)

But then music, movie and other intellectual productions are everything but free, and AI is sharply shunned whereas code is not. Why ?

Then that's a bug in the organization. If you're senior enough you might make the correct boss take notice and signal this defect globally (no fingerpointing) to him/her. If they don't care or answer you know where you a

Except that ffmpeg and qemu are not maintained by Fabrice. He's one of the greatest programmers but he's not maintaining the internet.

Google was neat in that you didn't see the content keyword spam either on the websites or the portal home pages. The Web was already full of shit (first ad banner was 1994? By 1999 you already had punch the monkey as classy content), b
