Roslyn and Mono 11 years ago

Did you read our comment thread? I'm complaining that there isn't parity for the dotNet/Roslyn development. You reply that you're working currently on CoreCLR as a response to this, so I asked for where I can do this. You state, it's not at parity. I jokingly refer you back to my original comment, and you glibly try to insult me? What the hell dude?

You're building on CoreCLR without depending on Mono? That's awesome, do you have a link to how to get that set up and working?

Understandable, but still a little disappointing. If this OSS initiative is worth anything, the platforms need to be at parity for features and release.

All evidence points to the contrary. The need of Uthman to canonize the text was due to the variation that existed. He ordered those variants destroyed, removing all evidence of their content. I even recall from college that the caliph ordered all verses, in any form, to be collected; some of the verse was from scraps of vellum, reed, antler, etc... If thousands of memorizers truly existed, such an exercise wouldn't be needed. He would only need to get a dozen of the people that memorized it to recite the exact verse again.

In college, we'ed leave messages on friends whiteboards with runes. Back in '93, there weren't a lot of 'nerd' girls, so it was usually a pretty safe way to hide in plain sight. Much better than a tie on the doorknob. Granted, it wasn't Ultima or LOTR, but Beowulf in the Olde English class that we would cite, because nerdy wasn't cool back then.

I accept that some people don't know how, or don't want to dedicate the time to making a responsive site. I get that, I have sites that don't make sense in mobile, so we don't bother with a mobile design. But don't take away the ability to zoom on mobile if you don't. You lose a good portion of your audience.

Christie Blatchford's skew is quite heavy in this reporting. I've seen the other side of the argument with some of the behaviours and tweets in question, and it's not so clear cut. I would definitely feel harassed by this individual, and in Canada, we do not claim to have the free speech as defined in America. Hate speech is not tolerated here, and most Canadians are in agreement with this. You can have a difference of opinion, but if you attack someone with words, there are legal consequences.

Play Sims 4 with the "Get to work" expansion. Having 8 me's in a house is a real problem.

I simplified the example, cdc does more than just a change the directory. `cdc -t name` changes to the directory and attaches to the tmux session of the same name if it exists, and if it doesn't, sets up my tmux layout for development.

Because we don't always source a shell script, you may need to source functions for certain functionality to work.

Fish shell 2.2 11 years ago

I have several bash functions that need to be sourced to be included. For instance, I use `cdc` to change to my code directory, where I keep my source for projects I am working on. If I type `cdc name` it changes it to my projects source directory, save me a lot of keystrokes in a day as I have many that I flip between. This sourcing of a function is required due to the way cd is handled, and in it's current form, not directly usable under fish. Maybe it's easier under fish, but fish isn't backwards compatible to make this work out of the box.

No, you don't have to use TypeScript, the angular dev team has been clear on this. You don't have to use atscript either. That said, typescript is pretty slick, and is essentially ES6+, I'd recommend giving it a shot before dismissing it.

There are indeed public spaces on the internet, many governments and government bodies have sites that are public where you can file a petition or voice a concern.

Most people (63%) own their homes in America, and there are protections in place for people who rent. Your landlord cannot monitor you.

When it comes to the mall though, it's more a matter of scope and scale. Overhearing something in a mall affects a handful of individuals and the intent was not to broadcast. If you stand up on a table in the cafeteria and start spouting hate speech, you can and will be escorted out by security.

The internet is different, because you cannot accidentally overhear a conversation. Said anywhere on the internet, especial a place like reddit of HN, it is viewable by the entirety of internet users. So direct comparisons to the physical world will always fall short.

You're correct, it's an ignorant argument, and I see it posted all over the place. I wish America had a better education system, because it drowns out the real conversations that should be happening around free speech.

You have the right to say whatever you want, you do not have the right to say it in my home. I'm curious as to whether or not these individuals understand this, or are just another level of troll trying to stir the pot.

Only experience with the same problem space can make you accurately predict where a bottleneck is going to be. Premature optimization will have you focusing on areas where optimization isn't required. YAGNI applies to all levels of development.

I would rather see bloat and new ideas, than only experts working in a problem domain. My best ideas come from a marriage of understanding a single problem space, and a wonder what I can do in another. Bring on the bloat.
