One of the most used paid and proprietary software is windows, and its users do not matter at all to how it implements its features.

I've often dreamed of a system where normal users, give money as a promotion for a certain issue to be fixed or even created, if the user wants feature X then he should be able to give an incentive towards that feature to be added into the software that they use, developers do bounties instead, the user doesn't have to give much only a dollar, but if many users want feature X, then the money/donations pool creating higher incentives until the task itself matches the level of work to be performed to achieve it until merged.

The project managers also get a cut of all merges, testers also must approve of the merge and that feature X is the one they want. So the project manager gets to work and improve/reject features, the user gets control over the features of the project they want and developers get to pick specific features they would like to work on (sort of). everybody gets what they want (sort of). All via attaching $ to the issues of the software, not the people.

There's nothing stopping anybody from making a batteries included lua, and plenty have done so (emilua, luapower, luaforwindows, luart and etc), of course, pure lua still exists and their changes are usually backported into lua since its so small and portable.

FWIW you can do a lot with pure lua and unless you're importing json there's no reason to include a library for it given that lua itself can be used as the data exchange format.

This makes me wonder, is there analysis of the syntax and if so can't it pick the lightest implementation? I see how light dillo is on the same page as chrome and I don't know why a web browser of the caliber of chrome does so much worse than a browser worked by a handful of people.

If you ever want to look at example code, try going to rosettacode instead of the handpicked selection on the homepage of many websites.

You kind of always have to go on a quest for a library on the internet, why would lua be any different? For lua, luarocks is its module registry and you can sort by most downloads, which sometimes leads you to buggy modules, but what can you do.

It's best to say that its tied to luajit, because at this rate, luajit is its own mixture of lua features, which they backport from newer versions.

It stands for "Chicago transit authority". I don't know about you, but search engines have become useless since last year, I'm talking downright unusable.

I'd love to use APL if it wasn't pay to use, or just, an absolute pain to install, there's also j, but I find it worse to use single letter names for functions, ivy seems like the best of both worlds.

A lot of people hate C++, that doesn't grant you the ability to make a language, however very few have the opportunity to create a new language out of free time provided by said language taking too long to compile.

I do not know why they did not go with java, I imagine building a java competitor (limbo) and then being forced to use it is kind of demeaning. but again, this would all be conjecture.

That's what I do with sons of liberty

There were 3 people making the language, it wasn't a one man thing.

I stand corrected.

This is all subjective so I suppose I should add an IMO, Even back then many games were preferable on the N64 like megaman legends, what the PS1 offered that was superior was storage, which allowed for more music and FMVs, and also allowed for voice acting and probably why MGS is still talked about to this day, my guess is the lack of detail helps immersion the same way you would read a novel, and I imagine the PS1 with its storage would've been the perfect vehicle for Visual Novels, but that still is not popular anywhere but Japan.

Even with realism, ports to dreamcast were better overall and considering the latest port of Final Fantasy Tactics does not emulate any of its PS1 limitations, I don't think a lot of people strive/like the aesthetic.

Go was built because C++ does not scale. Anybody that's ever used a source based distro knows that if you're installing/building a large C++ codebase, better forget your PC for the day because you will not be using it. Rust also applies here, but at least multiplatform support is easier, so I don't fault it for slow build times

But isn't this everything? All of computing is a struggle for me at least, all followed with confusion and "Why did they make this, this way?"

If you think that's bad, try learning python or a verbose language while not speaking english, all of these words like while, for, if, else, break are just gibberish and your code just reeks of some weird mish mash of broken english and broken <mother tongue>, I have a hypothesis that terseness favors universality, if you don't speak english, something like $_ is equal or easier to grasp, it honestly just looks like terse and weird math.

It's understandable that disney wants to hold Mickey as their symbol, I do not blame them for it, but, ironically as a child, I did not know Mickey Mouse, and I bet even fewer children know who Mickey Mouse is now.

The most recent and most used fork for freebsd is for the ps4

A derogatory term for copyfree licenses

Isn't making things more performant a juvenile ideal? as I get older, I no longer care about making things better, just getting it done.

(Not everyone is as polite as you lemon. Seems like the majority of the internet has namecalling tourettes :)

While juvenile, it is a fair point that github and all websites that ditch everything for javascript get less snappy to use.

But that's why I'm in HN, If I wanted to read this, I would be in reddit.

What's suprised me is that there is a line length limit on #! for 256 bytes.

You can have spacing after #! for some reason?

POSIX does not mandate -S, which means any script that uses it will only work on freebsd/linux

Why not accept and let cookie autodelete delete it after closing the site?

Expecting any industry to follow the law is foolish, if it gets big enough, they will wear down and overturn any annoyance against it, malicious compliance is the only way.

1 person using an umbrella, 4 are not. I'm starting to doubt if you're even human given that normal people don't go throughout their entire lives always carrying an umbrella wherever they go, even when it might rain.

The people you see in a desert with umbrellas are not using it for the rain, but for shade, the rain is the least of their problems.
