Funny that things can become semantic by accommodating line-based tools.
That’s how all lang discussions go. 50% of the comments are about some superficial digression.
Isn’t Go developed by Google? Or did they pawn the brunt of the work off on some voluntary organization? I somehow doubt it. Maybe he’s talking about projects that use go and aren’t backed by a company.
№ 927. I remember since it is so overused. - “obligatory XKCD” - “the Dunning–Kruger effect in action” - “hey, why did they make something new instead of contributing to this established thing” - “let’s keep in mind…
Now this is a kind of bikeshed that I’ve actually never seen before.

I haven’t tried both. Nor am I a keyboard hardware enthusiast. I have just spent some time modifying my keyboard through software (Linux X Server). I don’t get the apparent fascination that (mech) keyboard enthusiasts…
US, that country that has blessed the rest of the world with cybersecurity.
Many HN readers seem to be perpetually surrounded by non-talented engineers and all other sorts of mediocre people. https://xkcd.com/610/
Child’s play. True capitalists (1) hire wage labor to do the actual work, and (2) enlist the aid of the state to do all R&D and later use any technology that comes out of the research (socialize the costs (risks),…
You have to be damn naive to think that economics is not political.

Both terminals, shells and Emacs suffer from the problem that you have to configure them out of their ancient defaults.
One of the dead ends of Unix UX are all the terse DSLs. I feel that terse languages like Vi’s command language [1] get confused with interactivity. It sure can be terse, but having dozens of tiny languages with little…
The author is an MS student in statistics. Seems that Unix is well-represented in STEM university fields. Old-timey Unix (as opposed to things like Plan 9) won. When does widespread ’70s/’80s computing stop being…
Essentially selecting and operating on text in the same buffer. Saw it in Russ Cox’s demonstration of Acme.
I generalized interactivity to the Unix that most people seem familiar with. “The interactive nature of the shell” isn’t that impressive in this day and age. Certainly not shells like Bash (Fish is probably better, but…
The Wright brothers lived at the same time that Kafka and Weber were writing about bureaucracies. It was the time of positivism; the belief that social sciences could usher in scientific societies led by technocrats.…
One interactive feature I like about Bash though (or shell or whatever) is C-x C-e to edit the current line in a text editor (FC). Great when I know how to transform some text in the editor easily but not on the command…
