I had been a full-time Linux (desktop) user for more than 10 years, and only recently made a transition to Windows. As I'm nowhere proficient at using PowerShell I might be overrating it a bit, as the grass is always greener on the oth

Just curious, is Atom's UI considerate about modifying the content of a configuration file? I'm tired of programs changing the structure of it willy-nilly without even notifying the user (e.g. a click in the toolbar implicitly loa

Yeah, like many others I maintain my configuration files in Git, so having to use files to configure is a pro, not a con, at least for me! I haven't been using VS Code but this sole factor might be the reason I will reconsider using it

Great, I didn't know the terminal portion if VS Code exists as a separate project. Was it made to fuel VS Code? Or did it already exist before launching VS Code? I also liked the name of the project, xterm.js. :)

This is an off topic, but I just learned from the article that PowerShell will soon be the default in place of cmd.exe in Windows 10. I welcome this change as I found the experience of using PS was superior to that of bash/zsh in gener

The slowness shown in the pre-1.9 terminal is a bit ridiculous. Was it really the case? I've never seen such a strangely-behaving emulator! Really good that they resolved the issue.

IMO the success of Windows 7 was an exception, not the norm. Comparing the adoption rate of Windows 10 to that of Windows 7 might be a little harsh. 24% isn't actually that bad, considering Windows 7 is still good enough.

It doesn't have the same semantics, because even after introducing the new variable, it is still immutable. So you cannot accidentally modify the new variable. e.g., let x = 1; let x = x + 1; x = 99; // Error: you c

What's the reason? Were the method names needed to be aligned somehow?

It might be useful to have an option to turn all the "non-obvious" Unicode characters into the form of <U+XXXX> in programming editors. One concern is that some legitimate text will break, but it would be worth it considerin

There are many things that are present in assembly but lacking in C. For example, how do you detect integer overflow in C without resorting to compiler extensions?

by yokohummer7 10y ago
That is almost true, but there's one exception in those GC'ed languages due to the dichotomy of value types and reference types. The confusing behavior on capturing the iteration variable is one example.

The problem is that the brand new Haskell Programming book, which seems to be recommended nowadays among Haskellers, is being written by bitemyapp (the one described in the first link). He's been bitching other languages, especially Go

Unfortunately they also had to narrow down the scope of type inference recently. IIRC type annotations are now mandatory for class-level variables (member variables). This hindered the "Ruby-like" feeling, but they had to give up

I don't know much about this drama, but here's my perception from the outside. There has been a long-standing fight between the Haskell.org committee and the developers of Stack, regarding what should be the "default" op

I think this is just a reflection of the proportion of the female contributors in overall open source communities. There's really no reason for the Rust project to do anything "anti-female". Actually I think it is a bit too

> while(something) a[x] = b[x++]; Wait, isn't this an undefined behavior? Is the order of evaluations of `x` in the left side and `x++` in the right side defined? I'm always confused at things like this!

What you said is purely anecdotal. Here's another anecdote I think worth mentioning (it is from a Haskeller who has spent years teaching Haskell to kids): https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/3pfg7x&
