I don't think evidence supports the idea that selling alcohol in special stores will avoid alcoholism. Hard drug users go to much more trouble than visiting a special store, and their numbers remain significant despite a variety of efforts to make access to hard drugs prohibited.

What about Rectangle? When moving from i3 in Linux to Mac I tried Amethyst for a while but switched to Rectangle soon after and have used it since.

Still haven't found anything truly comparable to i3, though.

> every OSS starts off crappy and full of bugs and usually not even close to finished.

I think the quality/bugginess isn't as much of a factor as the fact that the codebase was not written with the intention of becoming OSS. Things like lack of documentation, hard-coded secrets, inflexible hosting/deployment, etc. are difficult to account for after the fact. And if you ignore these things and just "throw code over the wall", then virtually no one will even look at your code, let alone use it. Kind of a waste of time just to indulge a few self-righteous commenters on some message board, if you ask me.

A lot of OSS software was written with the intention of being open-sourced, so many of the things that make open-sourcing a previously-closed repo difficult are considered upfront.

Looks like that issue has now fixed by the author

They're obviously referencing the "it shouldn't take that long to create a language" bit.

"They taught me how to type" sounds a lot more like fond recollection than disinterest to me, but I guess we all read things differently. Your way seems needlessly uncharitable, though!

You might want to re-read the thread again. Your comment was uncalled for.

Are you looking at the "applyTo" method? I'm not seeing a variadic overload of "invoke", but I'm also not a Java or JVM person. I'm wondering if I'm overlooking something.

I'm sure you've heard of prerequisites, but maybe you haven't encountered any questionable requirements in the classes you took at the schools you attended?

Personally, I had to take classes like "Ancient Eastern Civilizations" while pursuing a degree in Audio Production. So while the term "useless" is a bit strong, I understand where they're coming from.

Only if you insist on the most cynical and uncharitable reading of their comment possible. But that does seem to be the case, unfortunately!

I don't think it's controversial for someone to say: "When I travel, I'd rather have the company of people who live in the place I'm visiting, instead of other travelers". I struggle to see how the original comment conveyed much more than that.

I didn't know verbal/emotional abuse requires a minimum word count! Please tell, what is the magic number that serves as the threshold?

I think GP is talking about flashing the headlights by turning them off and back on quickly, rather than flashing the high-beams. This is what I've usually seen in the US when drivers want to say "thank you" or "you can merge in front of me" on the highway.

Yet the kernel is one of the most successful OSS projects of all time. I'm not sure it makes your point very well.

Probably because you're nowhere near as "locked-in" to GH. You can move your source code and all of its history to another hosting platform in minutes with git.

If you want to move your Slack/Discord community to another platform, there is no easy way to export the content AFAIK.

I think comparing the use of contractors to the use of cloud services is pretty disingenuous in this context.

The reason that "one-person company" is emphasized in the title is because people will expect to find a list of technologies that make developing and maintaining all of the tech required to run a company do-able for a single person.

Advice about which cloud services to use is exactly what I would expect to find on such a list. Hiring external developers is exactly the opposite of what I would expect to see, and kind of undermines the premise.

How do you know what a "toy version of the framework" looks like when you're not experienced with the framework itself?

It seems to me like you've already solved the issue of "learning the framework" if your mental model of the framework is that solid.

So this is purely propaganda, then? Ends justifying means and all that?

> I have literally not found a single use case where I'm forced to use C++ or Rust

I use C++ to write realtime audio processing applications, especially DAW plug-ins. This is hardly C++'s primary market, but AFAIK there are no lisp-like langauges that can compete with C++ here. I'd be happy to learn something new if this isn't the case!

How do you find that?

Usually the "previous discussions" comment is posted with links directly to the previous thread(s). It would probably be received better if you mentioned that this is your site in the original comment.

Whether or not the site is useful, the comment feels misleading in this context.

This comment must be satire.

The guideline is about discussing upvotes/downvotes in any comment, not just your own:

> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

I haven't tried it but you might look into AVLinux, it's supposed to be more real-time performance friendly.

Why is that an issue?

I don't think censorship means what you think it means. The medium and scale at which the censorship is taking place is irrelevant.

Is there some reason you think the GP missed this point? Being able to restrict user access to issues-only would make using GH for project management a bit "cleaner", regardless of whether the repo is issue only or not.

Personally, my needs when editing source code are not unique enough to be worth spending a "few years" fiddling with vim when at least 80% of my needs are covered out of the box with an IDE. Not to mention that I only spend a fraction of my development time actually writing and editing source code.

I use JUCE a lot and they have use the ComboBox name as well. Always reminds me of creating custom levels in THPS...

So they have as much political power as the US?

> C++ incompatibly requires a name for all struct and class declarations

You're right about "enum class", but anonymous classes and structs are perfectly valid in C++:
