Most devs work on programs with orders of magnitude more users than devs, even for “few” users. The absolute number does not matter.

Does "a fully negative outcome" sound like "all languages are good"?

This is still a mostly circular argument though. An architecture is "good" if it's saving resources - compute, time, or labor. If your "good" architecture is slowing down development i.e. more time more labor, you&#

by morelisp 3y ago
But you're arguing in circles. If attention is paid, if the architecture is good, all else like programmer salary/skill being equal, any of those languages (and plenty of others) will work fine. (And honestly, not a huge differenc

Ad absurdum, then anything other than full curried 1-ary-exclusive functions is coloring. You can easily bridge context-using and non-context-using code, you can have nested contexts, you can have multiple unrelated contexts, you can ignore

AFAIK the book wasn't translated into English until after the film was announced, and was pitched as "the book Miyazaki's next film is based on." (I agree the OP's comment is ridiculous.)

Both things are true. It's worth arguing about so infrequently it's never worth thinking about whether it's worth arguing about, let alone argue about; but automated tools still make decisions far worse than any human would m

The other strange part is the "6 days to change 1 line of code" - yes, this one line of code took six days to change. But the actual time investment of each person, even the programmer involved, is much less than those six days. P

The audit trail likely represents actual risk reduction of someone undoing or misunderstanding the change later, since the change has no meaning outside the context of the request. "Fixing preexisting errors that violate new company po

What if you use `embed`? Why rebuild the binary if you've only touched test files? Make at least theoretically gives you tools to deal with these (but between Make and Go they're quite hard to use), but Task gives you no chance.

Multiple outfile dependencies (aka "grouped targets") can be specified in GNU Make via `&:` since 4.3.

Make has no way to opt into lots of greybeard "best practices" by default, and the syntax is still difficult to deal with. I want to keep the solver, which is pretty good. I want to keep the idea of targets, rules, recipes, which

The initial comment was just barely on the side of acceptable, it's not demanding but is a bit entitled. The private followup email is maidenless.
