No laptop will ever come along with "Hackintosh support" because that would be illegal.

For the record, the application already has SQLite, I just figured I would use it while it's there.

I'm looking at a project right now where I'm planning to use SQLite as a high-level solution to file locking (i.e. create a record in the DB to "lock" a file, delete it when you're done, and don't create a reco

If you think a project is bad then you should be allowed to say so. I'm sure you have used a software tool that you have complained about despite the fact that it was open-source. It's a bridge to far to directly attack people ju

It seems to be faster than grep primarily by having fewer features (it doesn't even attempt to support all of POSIX regular expressions, for one).

by theseoafs 10y ago
The developer has already stated that they did not intentionally name the tool "RIP grep". Even if they did, who cares? Why do people making grep alternatives have to treat grep with an extreme, undue amount of respect?

I.e. because you are not a lawyer and you don't know how to write an open source license. One obvious example is that your one-liner doesn't specify that your code has no warranty so someone can sue you if it doesn't work as

I'm working on a blog post now which I hope will answer that question (at least, in very general terms).

A beginner can grasp musical notation; its rules are simple and consistent, and the conventions are well-documented and reasonably straightforward. This blog post should be evidence of that: the beginner who wrote it clearly has the basics

Reading this over again, it seems like the author's not yet fully wrapped their mind around "big picture" stuff like keys, chords, basic compositional structure, etc. It's an... interesting choice to write a piece procl

I don't know how much of the last season you watched, but the show's writers certainly seem to be of the opinion that progressive ideas are preferable to Trumpism.

Not really, I got my first card just a couple years ago in college, and the process couldn't be easier, I just applied online with my bank.

I'm curious why you think SQLite is a database technology that somehow can't handle a million rows.

If you can compile any string in the language to a DFA then it's equivalent in power to regular expressions.

Does the addition of MIR have any immediate positive impact on compile times or binary optimization?

That's certainly true -- unrelated to the discovery point I mentioned, but it is true. The different tradeoffs are well-understood at this point IMO.

Can you explain why the lack of a central package repository is an issue? All of the languages I use in my daily work have central package repositories, but I don't use them for discovery, I use google, GitHub, etc., because to feel c

Lua can't be multithreaded in any real sense (by "real", I mean "OS threads"). If Squirrel can that's a big advantage.
