What you're talking about is a luxury I can't afford. That's what I mean when I talk about the price. There are plenty of far more important technologies that I would rather learn. I can't afford to learn two technologie

You're missing the point. Even if jails is the most elegant, easy and powerful technology in the world it's still on BSD. People are not going to switch to BSD just because of jails. Sure, then can use both, but why? Docker and li

I'm not comparing Docker and jails, I'm talking about things around. Stackoverflow.com coverage, blogs posts and guides, github repos, publicly available images, etc.

And your point is? A suggestion to switch to BSD and jails for an average user of Docker is laughable.

Technology isn't that important here, it's what stems from it is. Adoption, infrastructure, tools, community. There's also a price for doing it differently. And believe you me, using BSD nowadays is the definition of doing th

Sure, I'll make a bug report, should it go here? https://github.com/alexpux/mingw-packages BTW thing that I was able to compile with old MSYS + cmake from cmake.org, but can't with MSYS2 and mingw-w64-i686-cm

Nope, cmake that was working OOB was installed separately, from https://cmake.org/download I'll try your suggestion and report back.

I was replying to this line > This is a lot cleaner. The PID stuff can be done with bash too. In any case, until there is a tool which is as ubiquitous and as declarative as make you're going to have hard time convincing those of us

Nope, to me it isn't cleaner. Also, make has "make -n" which is absolutely golden.

Yep. Split that into bite sized chunks and use something like Amazon Mechanical Turk, as captcha or some other form of crowd-sourcing.

There are many ways to solve this, most programming languages already have BigDecimal libraries anyway. Some have Rational numbers. Raw floats shouldn't be a default.

No only print, but store too. If the result is mathematically accurate, then what does it matter how it works inside? That's why we use abstractions, for convenience. Yes, there are trade-offs, but that's the price we should be wi

Computers are here to help us. Creating abstractions is the name of the game. "Technically correct" isn't the kind of correct we, as humans, want here. Plenty of languages get it right the way you would naively expect alrea
