How is Nat Friedman an ideal candidate to run GitHub? Have you seen pre MS Xamarin?

If that works out good for you, great. I know that GitHub has every right to do what they think is necessary to maximize shareholder value. But I don't have to agree with their decisions. I don't trust Microsoft for pretty much exactly the reasons the parent listed.

Does Go have a comparable tool that is as widely adopted as Bundler is?

You got me. Gaining moral superiority is what I was after.

So there is nothing wrong with involuntary invasion of other people's minds?

How does the whitespace sensitivity make it immediately worse?

Why?

I really enjoy writing OCaml but I hate all the tooling around it. It lacks a good package management and build system à la Cargo.

What is the deal with features being exclusives to EEP? I really hate that. I want those features but I don't want the EEP support. I can't justify paying 5 times as much just for those features.

Slightly off-topic but please stop this js smooth scroll nonsense. If I wanted to use smooth scroll I would have enabled it in my browser.

Arch has had python2 and python3 binaries for a long time. /usr/bin/python2 has been there since at least 2010 https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk...

My input speed definitely is my bottleneck when writing down the code I have constructed in my head. So why not optimize this part of programming?

Both, a lot of the cool features come from Erlang's OTP library.

Elixir is not a framework around Erlang. It's a language running on the Erlang VM (BEAM) with painless erlang interoperability. It's the most popular alternative language to erlang on BEAM.

Does that make it any better?

For me, a metric ton is exactly as much as a regular ton.

Except that you can't use virtualbox anymore when hyper-v ist active... That's why I switched back to docker-machine on my windows pc.

For me npm has always been the worst dependency manager I've used. What bugs me the the most is that it installs all packages to node_modules by default. It is possible to specify another location but then your application will probably break because it has to know where your node_modules directory is. Then there's the whole non-determinism thing: https://docs.npmjs.com/how-npm-works/npm3-nondet

Also check out https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10999 This is just insane!

And for non mac users compiling iOS is not only difficult but also impossible without going through the pain of setting up a macOS vm. I guess I won't be updating dash on my iPhone anytime soon.

Yes, it's still an unsolved problem. All attempts at solving it feel like ugly hacks.

Same on Chromium dev channel on Linux. http://i.imgur.com/qFPBu1g.png

I can understand why they wouldn't support Linux/Blackberry/WP. As a Linux user I'm used to that. But not having windows support? Really?

The author should maybe consider renaming the project. The first thing that comes to my (german) mind when I hear KZ is concentration camp.

Great idea! It wouldn't work for me though as I tend to call all my machines 'fuckup' (I know...) ;)

This is how I manage my dotfiles since I discovered stow a couple of months ago.

The only thing that bugs me is that I haven't figured out an elegant way to have some configs include machine specific configs. For example a set of bash aliases that I only use at work but don't want at home.

My best idea is to source all files in, say ~/.bashrc.d and put machine specific configs in there... Haven't tried it out yet.

I love programming, but I hate puzzles.

Solving puzzles is nothing like programming to me. Programming to me means crafting your own pieces of the puzzle and being able to create something unique and beautiful.

Of course programming has some bad and boring sides. I would compare those to solving a jigsaw puzzle.

Go ahead and fork. Just leave me alone while I enjoy using systemd. I think some people are taking this way too personal and overreact. Forking is probably the best way to stop all the whining.

ISO 8601 all the way! I'd love to have a Pi day but it just isn't possible.

Doesn't work for me either. I'm guessing it interprets the 4 octets as RGBA or something similar. It's a cute idea.

Have you ever actually tried it on Windows? I use vim a lot on Linux but working with it on Windows is a nightmare.
