For Arch, it's just

    pacman -S gource

Some of these things are actually pretty cool IMO, like http://keithclark.co.uk/articles/pure-css-parallax-websites/... from https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Javascript#Pa...

But the alternative seems to be browser exposing APIs for all those permissions through Javascript and the end-user not really having any control over that. Perhaps I'm just naive about it, since I really don't do Javascript-based development, but this seems to be a worse idea than apps.

Super-late to this, but I always find https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdX4uJUwSFwiY3XBvu-F_-Q to be interesting. Not sure if this is exactly relevant to the question, but I feel like I learn from it anyway.

Homepage says supports up to 62000blocks per dimension, which, conrary to their claim, is quite small.

Indeed. Minecraft only gets ~256 in the Y-direction, but allows you to go ~30,000,000 in the X/Z-directions.

    32. People’s names are assigned at birth.
    33. OK, maybe not at birth, but at least pretty close to birth.
    34. Alright, alright, within a year or so of birth.
    35. Five years?
    36. You’re kidding me, right?

The entire security of the Tor Browser ecosystem relies on the integrity of a single TLS certificate that has already been previously compromised.

Seriously? That seems like a really weird - to say the least - decision to make about something this important...

Why does "white"/"male" matter? I understand that this is potentially a very contentious question, but I genuinely don't understand why those are listed in the title, or why "white" was the first in a list of insulting words used at the end of the article.

You know there'll be that one person who complains about it not supporting something nested like 20 pointers deep...

Hah! Plain white bread is clearly where it's at!

Just the bread. Grey is a more automatic way to spell it than gray, for me.

As in, "you Grey Breads remember using C++ and MFC, etc."

As one who is neither "Grey" nor "Bread," you may wish to check your spelling :)

But yes, it's kind of sad that this is the way things are now :(

It's pretty well-known around here, but I still find it amazing to think about every time that I see it come up.

If you don't mind me asking, what experience did you have?

Well but then that mangles the symbol names, which would make programming a pain.

It is generally used that way. But it's also sometimes used in the gender-specific manner, and so some people will take offense over it.

That isn't at all what I said. I specifically stated that I've seen other people say that, not that I myself think that. Of course different ideas are good; if we didn't have them, we'd be stuck in the stone age still. However, if the JS community does indeed have lower entry standards than normal, it stands to reason that such a conclusion can be reached pretty easily.

Well lately, everything seems to be focused on JS, no? There's node.js, react, angular, $JAVASCRIPT_FRAMEWORK_OF_THE_DAY, ... So if JS is most of what you hear about, and if the community does actually have low entry standards, it seems logical that it'd be the community that would attract the most issues.

If someone is so mentally unstable that just seeing a word in an API screws with their head, their problem is sufficiently serious that they ought to seek immediate psychological help.

It almost seems like child-like behavior. "I don't like this, so everyone has to change to fit my whims." Of course, there's almost certainly valid reasons for wanting change - it's probably not a good idea to make rape jokes or similar in your code[0] - but this seems over the top. Things in the world are going to be offensive, and if seeing a word causes that much trauma for someone, then they probably have bigger issues than just a symbol name or something.

[0] Not saying that anyone has done this

Anecdotally, this seems to be a stronger thing in Node.js community than others.

I have seen people speculate that this is due to the lower barrier of entry in the JS community (as a whole), although I'm not certain how true this would be.

The idea of turtles all the way down reminds me a lot of non-terminating recursion.

As an example compile this with optimisations (should work the same with signed integer overflow):

Interesting. Clang and GCC both produce a binary that gets terminated by SIGFPE under normal compilation, but using -O3, Clang's output will run correctly while GCC's output will still SIGFPE.

It's very difficult not to dismiss this as infantile.

Which is, in turn, why many people don't take these things seriously. Of course, perhaps there is a justification for "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces" in colleges, but the issue of whether those 1) belong in the classroom as opposed to elsewhere on campus, and 2) should be a feature of colleges at all, is completely derailed by things like this.

Probably things like https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/movfuscator

Agree or disagree with the politics otherwise rampant therein, subreddits like /r/KotakuInAction seem to do a good job of cataloging some instances of this (ex. [1][2] and basically anything else in their [CENSORSHIP] tag/flair). Granted, this is likely not the best source, due to the fairly political nature of such subreddits, as well as that I haven't checked many of these to verify the accuracy of them; I just occasionally like to see what different sides of the debate(s) are up to.

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting a 403 when trying to access this page?

Not only he has an interesting life story and created a series of legendary companies - [...] WebMD, [...]

So he's the reason everyone thinks that they have cancer! :)

Sadly I cant find anything with good auto completion and nice features (like things offered by Eclipse).

Out of curiosity, have you tried the relevant JetBrains IDE(s)?
