Do you honestly believe they won’t implement copying a sentence.

It doesn't help that the exact purpose of OpenDoc can't be explained. There's no clear killer app or purpose of it. It's a a platform for combining things on documents. For god knows what reason. You might say "it&#

I still have no idea what’s the substance here, your example was filters and pipes of cli. That’s trivial in Swift.

What you call unsafe hackish things is basically the default level in C. It makes no sense to both call this unwanted in Swift and wanted as a whole language. It comes off as you just don’t like the “unsafe” word.

So it’s just an adapter. Why would Swift not be suitable for it?

From the abstract when they try to describe how Obj-S is better than Swift they kind of utterly fail: "While Swift fixes some of Objective-C's most obvious flaws that were due to it being constructed by crashing two existing langu

I just imagined what if we have to consider other civilizations for our posts and what they might be offended by. For example, the civilization of Dune is offended by any mention of complex "thinking machines", so any programming

Saying they're different, but not saying how (according to you) is honestly not very useful. Especially when no one defines these terms the same way, so it's not like I can go and find and compare definitions.

Everyone understands the wheel. But right-click, less so. Gamers are a special case. They play a game a lot, and are used to controllers with a dozen buttons, each having a specific function in the game. General office workers are another s

In software you should be familiar that exposing a debugging interface can be a 10 minute job. Exposing a public service can be a 3 month job. And not just for developers, but also for documentation writers, marketing, legal, and so on. If

From my experience, most people never fully figure out when you left-click and when you right-click. So he was right. I could personally take a 20 button mouse, but we should be careful not to design mass market devices after our own nerd d

So your default assumption is that a company whose entire division may be selling washing machines, doesn't give a damn about the programs that make those machines useful. Great.

You're really dedicated to this scriptable washing machine project. You should talk to your landlord.

by slver 5y ago
Well if you want it to be scriptable, you might need to spend three month's rent on a new washing machine. And yeah, uhmm... most washing machines can run drying after washing. You just took your specific model's issue, and decide

What we've learned here is you need to buy a new washing machine, or maybe before that, read carefully the manual of the one you have. Thinking you can dry your clothes better than the people who engineered the entire machine and wrote

by slver 5y ago
Most (all?) washing machines have a delayed start. Why would you want your clothes to sit wet, collecting mold, before the drying begins? See, part of being a good programmer is figuring out a solution using the tools you have. Which includ

OK, so I need to be able to script my clothes, then.

The world isn't driven by "I should have all the nice things I can imagine". How are you gonna script the washing machine to take the underwear off your bottom and put it in the drum? You'll have to do that yourself. And

The conflict here is that a joke where you include the listener is automatically funnier, and a dick joke is also automatically funnier. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwGIHzR5r0Y So the challenge lies in combining

They're not glorified bushes, they are charging and communication hubs for birds. Because as we know... birds aren't real, either.

OK, I propose then we replace the tabs with just a single link labeled "Please click here if you'd like a dick joke". Then have more detailed tabs on a dedicated page.

Unit tests are honestly a poor fit for many problems. Unfortunately it takes Linus levels of determination to resist and carve out an exception status for your project.
