Probably closer to vile or elvis if we're talking proper ksh93.

People who switch to vscode probably also switch to fish anyway. Hmm, in this false analogy game, what editor is aligned with korn shell? xemacs?

> This might be an odd, or unpopular opinion Well, that used to be the mainstream opinion until a few years ago, when a lot of computer education switched to videos. I blame DHH ;)

That instantly popped in my mind when I read the post title. In general, Elizabeth I is solid food for all kinds of folk legends, conspiracies, fantasy pastisches etc. Employed John Dee, after all.

Or Motif's UIL, as if people cried out for that.

Either one of the existing ones or the new IV version can also be taken as a "combined package" for a few months. But honestly, the injection is the least of the worries. You don't have to pull something up in a syringe, you

Sure it was more elegant, it took its inspiration from SmallTalk after all ;) Of course that lead to a bit of a mixed result. For one, most of the new features were syntactically isolated to the Obj-C square brackets. On the other hand, wit

It's not the C64, but the DOS game Starflight was written in Forth. And hey, considerably more and even larger games have been written in assembly, compared to which Forth is definitely high level (arguably even to other programming la

Nothing ever changes at camp sites. Go there next year, same people, just their children got a bit older and louder.

Well, in a static terminal UI there are only 80*24 spots where you can do something wrong as a programmer. These days, it's 4k * 60(fps) * (programmer+UX person+UI person)

I think the PDF even has some Print Shop art. And if I read that right, the local computer club is meeting there every first Sunday of the month.

I've seen architecture presentation where it seemed like event sourcing took DDD hostage, just using it as a vehicle to sell that particular astronaut-ism. Not even a ubiquitous language...

Well, the problem with using file names/URLs for unique identifiers is that they might change. So either you don't do that or you need some piece of software to update this. With a note title (and thus file name) of "[2020091

Oh boy, my system is old, didn't say it's good... I'm not retaining ephemeral notes, no work logs or anything like that. That's on separate "systems", often text files within the projects or actual paper. This

Honestly, I'm not so sure about your conclusion. Businesses themselves don't want job runners. They want their job to be easier. I mean, that's what I liked about Delphi: It was inflexible, it was (relatively) low on code. No

That's the one you can't have on the same computer as the community edition of C++ Builder? Yeah. I've been burned by GPL'd ExtJs, I'm not touching Idera's handouts anymore.

Honestly, for these types of applications (small-business/enterprise in-house) I think we're going in a terribly wrong direction, from terminal apps to Windows GUIs to web apps. The DX might have improved, UX hasn't. First pr

The company has quite a different focus than Borland of old, which tried to get their products in as many hands as possible. Many a programmer was weaned on a cheap copy of Turbo Pascal or Turbo-C. Idera, on the other hand, caters to enterp

This used to be a lot more common in the early days of computer science teaching, where you had localized versions of Pascal or Basic. For an extreme version of this, where the language isn't just used to replace a few keywords, there&

I think they're trying to be a bit too clever, with vim being the retro part and "futuristic" being used to signify contemporary/modern/IDE-ish. Not really how retrofuturism actually works, as that would imply that

The part that's equivalent to what you'd use for your regular awk isn't very different. Sure, you can do full-scale OO programs, but that doesn't have a large impact on small string munging. I get that you might not lear

Can't wait for the PulsEAudio replacement. Although I guess that it'll just transform every audio input into free-software-song.au
