I reread your original comment. It would have been better if you had included those small details that, for some reason, you left out. In my opinion, you simply failed to get your point across. Anyway, my point stands.…
That's exactly what I did when I was writing code in a paper notebook around 1995. Mainly because I didn't have a computer at home, and I wanted to program more than anything else in the world.
That's a weird thing to say. GUI slows down me A LOT when I sometimes have to switch to it from my terminal for whatever reason. Where did you get your "absolutely no one" data point?
I’m not disputing how intuitive the GitHub interface is, but seriously, why is it so hard for technical professionals to set aside 10–20 minutes of their time to learn a new interface? Why has this even become an issue…
> “Ooh cyber” is a lame straw No, not really. To me it felt exactly the same (immature) way. That was a reason why I kept using htop instead. I feel the same about eg k9s, but there's nothing better to migrate off it.
I don't see any contradiction here.
> people will be bored to death As opposed to what? Be entertained by all the bells and whistles of modern operating systems that have practically unusable user interfaces?
Not arguing here, but htop can do the same, no?
What's so good about btop? I personally can't stand its interface, I don't need bells and whistles in my terminal.
Or, to look at it another way, the answer is that it’s the developers who don’t want to learn something new that, objectively speaking, might turn out to be better than what they’re used to.
It's not a problem though. There is absolutely no need for “quality content” whose sole or primary purpose is to monetize it. What we’re all missing is hobby content created out of passion, free of ads and all the…
The answer is not that obvious as you might see or imply it.
> rob your house while leaving it untended Yeah, that's nonsense - licenses exist precisely to solve this problem. Read up on it - do everyone a favor.
> a good portion of HN is composed of pirates who don’t like rules and have a higher tolerance for risk That's cute.
As I've already said, I don't play online games, and I'm not particularly concerned about all the fuss surrounding anti-cheat measures, so I don't think that suddenly makes Linux a "second-class gaming platform." For…
While I agree with your point I don't agree that open source is overrated. This movement is one of the greatest developments in modern history, and the fact that corporations have exploited it for their own gain should…
This comparison seems bizarre to me, but what do I know about the US?
As someone who doesn't play online games this is not a trade off I gladly make. Fortunately, however, KLAC will never become part of the Linux kernel, because adding it to an open-source system simply doesn't make sense.
Companies that claim downloading their shit is theft are so dramatic. Although the consequences are different. Your "argument" is immature.
I don't think so?
I detected it just fine. Just decided to ignore it.
No, he's not. Unless, of course, you've founded a company of comparable size.
> I don't have a fully perfect definition It feels like no one has. Am I wrong? How can we even talk about something that doesn't have a definition?
No it's not.
Learning stuff is pretty amazing with these things. Languages, new concepts.
