Sounds awful, I hated all that stuff in VStudio. I'm one of those crocks that thinks it makes you lazy in your organisation. grep '^fname' *.c is good enough for me

There is no debate on my personal preferences. But do you actually think that everyone uses syntax highlighting? Obviously Dennis Ritchie and Rob Pike didn't need it and though I don't in any way pretend I'm in that league of programmers,

It works best with the plumber, which is to pattern matching as file name extensions are many file browsers. Plumb a uri and it opens the browser, unless you added a more specific rule to follow a different action. http://swtch.com/plan9po

I was a professional programmer in PHP for just under 10 years so I'm not just bandwagon jumping. I don't get paid by yahoo to post here so I'm free to be as sloppy as I like.

PHP encourages shitty code because it is already shitty code in a shitty language. It's the broken windows effect. All you need to know is from Rasmus himself "There are people who actually like programming. I don't understand why they like

I should have also said that Plan9 runs Qemu in the Linux emulator. We've done the usual Plan9 running in Qemu running in LinuxEmu running on native Plan9. But come on, which way do you want to have it. Castigating because of lack of certai

An additional and arbitrary tax. Google was given a tax break to locate in Eire and pays tax there, not France, so France want to tax them too.. Presumably it is expenditure of French companies being paid to Google Eire. But presumably the

This is a very interesting subject. Countries in the EU have competed to provide a better business environment to foreign companies. Eire has gone for the 10% corporation tax break. Other EU countries are threatening the companies with sanc

This has been the most frustrating two hours of my life, I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up processing the order and not getting the $100 :( Oh well, lucky me, the $100k has gone, so that cost me two hours of billable time instead. I guess

Agreed, the awful Linux build process and the world of #ifdef programming is anachronistic. Plan9 has cross platform debugging, let alone compiling (which is extremely trivial "conf=ARM9 mk") debugging : import remote /proc /proc
