What part of the IDE's is slow and clunky. Is it just startup you're talking about or other parts? I'm a heavy Intellij user as well as vi user and, apart from startup, don't notice any speed differences.

Do you use UPNP? That was my solution, had to install dd-wrt to make it happen but I haven't had any issues since then. Port forwarding seems to make it better but doesn't really fix it.

I don&#x27;t think this is unfair. In order to fail as badly as the sloppy C program, the Rust developer would have to explicitly pass in -1 as the default_value, like fork().unwrap_or(-1), right? The developer might do that anyway, but that&#x27;s certainly an improvement over -1 happening implicitly; they&#x27;d have to think about it, and alarm bells would go off as soon as they re-read the kill() manpage, rather than only upon re-reading both the kill() and fork() manpages.<p>Similarly, neither of your &quot;if let Some() = fork()&quot; examples would fail as badly as the sloppy C program, right?<p>All the examples you could come up with of sloppy Rust code fail less poorly or make it harder to fail as poorly as the sloppy C code, and you were deliberately <i>trying</i> make your Rust code sloppy, whereas the sloppy C code was based on examples from the wild: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rachelbythebay.com&#x2F;w&#x2F;2014&#x2F;08&#x2F;19&#x2F;fork&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rachelbythebay.com&#x2F;w&#x2F;2014&#x2F;08&#x2F;19&#x2F;fork&#x2F;</a><p>Still seems like a good argument that Rust&#x27;s design is an improvement.

The problem with that is people are trained to use -f because it&#x27;s so annoying to try and use rm without it.<p>Really, the -f flag should just mean &quot;don&#x27;t ask for confirmation&quot; and a separate flag should be required to mean something like &quot;yes I do want to nuke my computer&quot;. And maybe there should be a flag that means &quot;cross device boundaries&quot;, and by default it could refuse to delete anything that has a device number different than the argument it started with. That would at least prevent you from nuking your network-attached storage.

I&#x27;ve seen that &quot;no second chance&quot; thing personally and it&#x27;s hilarious to me. WTF? I would hum &quot;Mars The Bringer of War&quot; to FPGA guys at times because of this ( it&#x27;s the theme used in &quot;The Right Stuff&quot; at Those Times in the movie ).<p>In the general case, no. The economics of software don&#x27;t favor it. There are tools that inspect code and make helpful suggestions.<p>This is why you can&#x27;t trust your synthesis tools, BTW.<p>But much worse in software is the cultural ... &quot;zero&quot; ( as in a zero in a filter) about the axis of provability in general. It&#x27;s a point of despair.<p>I can tell you that in multiple cases, I was able to represent the &quot;core&quot; logic of systems much that I could build a test rig around it and do exhaustive testing ( with the caveat that it&#x27;s only as good as the test framework ). Permutaitons are reasonably cheap these days. But to do this, you must nearly eschew the us of third party code and in cases, even large parts of standard libraries.<p>But the standard answer is to despair and moan &quot;it&#x27;s impossible.&quot; The &quot;prove it correct&quot; people and the &quot;git &#x27;er done&quot; people are two different tribes.

I&#x27;m your standard unix greybeard, the sort that uses org-mode to outline-structure their emacs config (that&#x27;s actually what I do, not even a hypothetical), so I approached VSCode with skepticism.<p>I have actually been really impressed. It&#x27;s fast and responsive, even on Linux, and the TypeScript tooling is fantastic. I think with a bit more UI work (like vi keybindings) it could potentially become my preferred editor.

can you articulate the exact <i>cost</i> of adding generics? The benefits are profound, and the PL community has been doing research on it for the last forty some odd years.<p>Some of the benefits are opportunities for<p>* specialization<p>* reduction in boilerplate<p>* parametricity<p>* free theorems<p>* type classes<p>Objectively, a collections library written with generics and no subtyping will be <i>much</i> better and cleaner than a subtype based one.<p>The problem is, I&#x27;ve never heard generics argued against by someone who <i>really</i> understands generics. It&#x27;s usually folks who got confused by them in java or really didn&#x27;t dig into the theory behind them. An argument from ignorance isn&#x27;t much of an argument.

Lawyer here. Not my area of speciality but off the top of my head (and after thinking about it for all of 30 seconds) that strikes me as a surprisingly hard thing to do. Bankruptcy courts have extremely broad powers to administer the assets of debtors including disavowing contracts. There may be some way to do a structure where the data is escrowed with a 3rd party and the subject company is just holding the data as some sort of fiduciary, but I&#x27;m not sure anything like that has been tested. I would want to consult a bankruptcy expert to really figure something like this out.

Here&#x27;s my perception of Rust: It is a system&#x27;s low level language (more like C or C++) that is very expressive. It&#x27;s performance is compared to C++, so faster than Go&#x2F;Python&#x2F;Java.<p>----------------------------------------<p>In term of expressiveness, it offers:<p>- Expression-based languages (instead of statement-based)<p>- Has anonymous functions (lambdas)<p>- It has a match mechanism which is powerful<p>- Enums are enumerated data-types rather then integer types<p>- Has traits and explicit implementation blocks for them (vs Go&#x27;s implicit interface contracts)<p>----------------------------------------<p>Other than that, it also offers:<p>- Built-in concurrency<p>- It has a thing called the borrow checker that makes sure you&#x27;re handling memory safely (this will get a little but of getting used to, but it is powerful)<p>- Everything is private by default. You put `pub` in front of an identifier if you want it to be public<p>- It isn&#x27;t very verbose in the Java sense, but you still have to write a crap lot of code in comparison to Go and Python. The trade off is that the code is very explicit, and you get to type more in order to have zero cost abstractions at runtime<p>- Zero cost abstraction at runtime<p>Please correct me if any of those points are wrong&#x2F;misleading, I&#x27;d love to learn more about Rust too.

Good points. I&#x27;ll add that the majority of his funds came from illegal pharmacy that was selling drugs people could get from local doctors but might be turned down. To put that into perspective:<p>1. It&#x27;s legal to get the drug if a single doctor agrees you need it, you can afford to pay them, and you can afford to pay for the drug.<p>2. It&#x27;s illegal to get the drug if Le Roux&#x27;s doctors do it with their methods at probably lower prices.<p>So, just being poor means you can&#x27;t get medicine. That&#x27;s illegal. But immoral? The law itself sounds immoral here. Further, the law relegates the decision to any human with authorization to prescribe drugs. That makes it quite arbitrary given their range of opinions and actions. So, there&#x27;s no connection between the law and morality here except perhaps an immoral transfer of money from companies that benefit from the situation to middlemen that pass it to lawmakers. Sounds... like Le Roux&#x27;s network a little bit, eh? ;)

Nitpick: GC is <i>technically</i> optional in Rust, because you can stick pretty much anything in a reference-counted box or an atomically-reference-counted box (Rc&lt;T&gt; or Arc&lt;T&gt;). It&#x27;s not the default by any means though.

What do you mean by that? Is it different than what you can do in C++ with inheritance (leaving out implementation inheritance)? I&#x27;m sure it is probably a little less verbose as the syntax in C++ is odd. C++ 11 adds &#x27;override&#x27; which helps.

In the UNIX Hater&#x27;s Handbook, defenders of rm consider accidental deletion a &quot;rite of passage&quot; and remark that &quot;any decent systems administrator should be doing regular backups&quot; (see page 62). The author&#x27;s response is funny:<p><i>“A rite of passage”? In no other industry could a manufacturer take such a cavalier attitude toward a faulty product. “But your honor, the exploding gas tank was just a rite of passage.” “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we will prove that the damage caused by the failure of the safety catch on our chainsaw was just a rite of passage for its users.” “May it please the court, we will show that getting bilked of their life savings by Mr. Keating was just a rite of passage for those retirees.” Right.</i><p>I&#x27;m surprised how relevant parts of this book are 22 years later.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vbcf.ac.at&#x2F;fileadmin&#x2F;user_upload&#x2F;BioComp&#x2F;training&#x2F;unix_haters_handbook.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vbcf.ac.at&#x2F;fileadmin&#x2F;user_upload&#x2F;BioComp&#x2F;training...</a>

So, can VSCode run in a terminal window, without graphical user interface, while ssh&#x27;ed into another machine somewhere around the globe over a shitty internet connection, editing a file that&#x27;s a few hundred megabytes big? As long as that&#x27;s not possible it&#x27;s not even a contest ;) I like VSCode because of it&#x27;s debugger plugin infrastructure, but let&#x27;s not get silly (MS changing the way code is written on Linux).

<i>Let&#x27;s not for a second indulge the idea that you made a fair comparison</i><p>Fine. Then I&#x27;ll try to make one. I used to live in a beautiful part of Minneapolis. A tree-lined, peaceful street near the edge of town that was so bucolic I had a friend who came to my house for over a year before she realized that I lived within the city limits, not an inner-ring suburb. I knew my neighbors, could walk to the grocery store, restaurants, movie theater and the big museums, theaters, etc were a 10 minute drive away in downtown. We went to art galleries and performances fairly regularly.<p>Now I live on a small farm about 40 miles outside the city. The two closest non-agricultural businesses to my home are a bar and a McDonald&#x27;s. Yet I will never move back to the city; I simply prefer it here.<p>The problem with so many of these articles, and the resulting comments, is that everyone comes out of the woodwork claiming that their way is best and anyone who disagrees doesn&#x27;t know what the other side looks like. Not so: as the GP stated, we know the pros and cons of either choice. We also know better than you what we prefer!

Yes, yes you are the hateful one. You are claiming that Americans are monsters and responsible for all the problems in the middle east and most of the world. I claimed that a man that hacked into the FBI to expose all the personal details of employees of the FBI should be captured and killed. To clarify, I meant killed by being sentenced to death for treason. The VAST majority of the FBI works to do things such as stop the spread of child pornography, kidnapping, and other criminal behaviors and posting all the personal information on those people so that the criminals that they helped put away can potentially seek retribution against them and&#x2F;or their families is a very serious crime in my opinion. I found it (and still do) quite disgusting that so many people were applauding such reckless and criminal behavior.<p>In the effort of full disclosure, I also wish the death on anyone who thinks it is fine to murder innocent people through acts of terrorism such as 9&#x2F;11, San Bernadino, Paris, Brussels, etc. Note that I didn&#x27;t say every Muslim or everyone from the Middle East or any other broad stroke like you used.

How in FSM&#x27;s noodly universe is the command supposed to intuit which files it <i>should</i> safely delete versus those it <i>shouldn&#x27;t</i>?<p>&gt; <i>...or administrative action.</i><p>You mean like, &quot;sudo rm -rf {$undefined_value}&#x2F;{$other_undefined_value}&quot;? D&#x27;oh!

I think you have a very valid point and seeing it downvoted instead of debated shows most of us are not bothered by that status quo. You can call your representative every time you think a legislation tries to overreach and hope your voice is heard, or instead of the symptoms you can treat the root cause. I believe the easier problem is to design a more just system which inherently advocates freedom and self regulates, while the much harder is to incentivize people to actually move away from the current one. Especially because usually the ones benefiting are the same ones holding the keys.

I switched from Atom to VSCode for Go development on OSX a few weeks ago while Atom&#x27;s Go plugin was going through a rough few days, and haven&#x27;t been able to go back.<p>The patterns of use take a little getting used to coming from Atom or Sublime, but VSCode gives me real static-language IDE features that &quot;just work&quot; simply by installing the Go plugin. Comparable functionality in Atom requires multiple plugins and I never managed to make a few of them work at all. The control+tab file switching quickly became second nature.<p>I never had the performance issues some people have with Atom (on a 5 year old laptop), but VSCode feels a little quicker at some things. Nothing to write home about.<p>I love Atom&#x27;s direction (plugability, a well-cultivated ecosystem, discoverable configuration), but for sheer usability I&#x27;m sticking with VSCode for now.

It should be economically efficient for people to live in big cities. Smaller living spaces are more economical than larger ones. Public transportation can be used instead of building larger roadways. The cost to live there may be more expensive, but the taxes go further, and taxes should be lower. Lower taxes and higher density means more companies will come into the city to hire, etc.<p>That&#x27;s not true right now for a number of reasons, but that&#x27;s why large cities exist.<p>If rent is too high, it just means that there&#x27;s not enough supply. And the city should fix that.

From the docs:<p><pre><code> &gt; When you omit quotes the string ends at the newline. &gt; Preceding and trailing whitespace is ignored as are escapes. &gt; &gt; A value that is a number, true, false or null in JSON is &gt; parsed as a value. E.g. 3 is a valid number while 3 times is &gt; a string. </code></pre> (edit: formatting)

Programming is hard because thinking is hard.<p>I think it&#x27;s entirely reasonable to write security-focused software in a highly restricted language with concrete formal semantics.<p>The problem with trivial examples is that they&#x27;re often constructed to prove a point and don&#x27;t represent what a real developer would write if they were to seriously consider the problem in C.

And everyone will have to accept the performance loss--and there will be performance loss. This is acceptable for many applications, don&#x27;t get me wrong. But it will be a tough sell.<p>If you want to get people using a Friendly C, you need to start convincing the biggest <i>users</i> of C and C++ that they should give up performance for a simpler dialect of the language. Like politicians responding to voters, compiler authors respond to what their customers demand. Up to now, their customers have demanded performance. It&#x27;s not their fault for listening to them.

So essentially, I think vim-mode in atom actually uses NeoVim&#x27;s headless VIM engine, which is why it&#x27;s more full featured. But don&#x27;t quote me on that :)<p>The ideal VIM mode plugin for VS Code would do the same.

&gt;Vim and Emacs are still superior if you want to put the time &gt;in,<p>TBH, not every developer is willing to become a <i>power user</i> or interested to learn an IDE instead of the language itself. Being someone who worked on VStudio alot and now on Linux&#x2F;Mac based tools, I can safely say that Microsoft tools are <i>Developers friendly</i> most of the time. It&#x27;s good they are introducing same touch for Linux&#x2F;OSX community.

They&#x27;ve demonstrated it too. With Roslyn being a &quot;compiler as a service&quot; and the OmniSharp umbrella of plugins, now VS Code and Sublime Text all have the same intelligence (and IntelliSense) that Visual Studio has. Everything else (IMO) is much easier chrome around that fundamental experience, and can easily be filled in over time.<p>In the C# talk at Build [1], they demonstrated visual debugging using VS code. It was pretty awesome.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;channel9.msdn.com&#x2F;Events&#x2F;Build&#x2F;2016&#x2F;B889" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;channel9.msdn.com&#x2F;Events&#x2F;Build&#x2F;2016&#x2F;B889</a>

The legal system describes punishment, not protection. The legal system only works inside of said country and does not pertain to outside actors, individual or state level that are beyond your prosecution. Even the government itself protects itself from itself by using compartmentalization. By giving the government the keys to everything we have ruined said compartmentalization and put everyone at risk.

To me this is more worrying for GPU&#x27;s at future process nodes. Most modern video games push my i5-4570 to reasonable levels, but my R9 290 uses over 3X the power (and generates 3X the heat). If electromigration is much more prominent due to feature size we could see GPU&#x27;s dying a lot faster than CPU&#x27;s.

This is probably a far better solution than trying to make rm smarter about which kinds of files it&#x27;s somehow either &quot;safe&quot; or &quot;unsafe&quot; to unlink. Even then, though, you&#x27;d still get people who invoke it with &quot;--across-devices --yes-i-really-mean-it&quot; set, with unexpected and disastrous consequences.<p>And then someone will come along and bitch that rm isn&#x27;t safe enough <i>yet again</i>.

Perhaps so. e.g. in Greater Manchester rent might be £470 for a 2 bed terraced house whereas the mortgage would be about £300-400, depending on interest rate, but a mortgage payment isn&#x27;t a direct comparison to a rent payment: you need life insurance, buildings insurance, contributions to a repairs fund, service fees if a flat, upfront costs to be amortised over the duration of ownership etc (but those payments are not necessarily the difference).<p>Also, the set of people who are renting and unable to get a mortgage I imagine is quite large.

Sure, much like C&#x2F;C++ <i>could</i> have GC by embedding Lua, Spidermonkey, etc(fun fact Epic implemented their own C++ based GC for Unreal3).<p>It&#x27;s not a forced requirement :).

It is probably an issue with your video driver. No text editor should feel laggish right off the bat. The open source Radeon driver is prone to sluggishness.

&gt; &gt;Do we have 67 implementations of sort.Interface?<p>&gt; Hahaha. This has to be satire right?<p>Nope.<p><pre><code> &#x2F;home&#x2F;nate&#x2F;src&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;juju&#x2F;juju$ grep -r &quot;) Less(&quot; . | wc -l 67 </code></pre> (granted, 10 are under the .git directory, so I guess 57)<p>But in any other language, we&#x27;d still have the same 57 definitions of how to sort a type.... we&#x27;d just have 3 fewer lines of boilerplate for each of those (which live off in the bottom of a file somewhere and will never ever need to change).

<i>&gt; I feel like the only programmer who is intensely aware of the emotional state of my colleagues. I can sometimes tell people what they are feeling (when they are opening up) and it shocks them because I know it better than they do.</i><p>You are not alone. I often feel the same way. I&#x27;m going to assume that you work primarily with male programmers, since that&#x27;s the makeup of our industry. (In all of my jobs, most of the programmers I&#x27;ve worked with have been male).<p>I think guys generally are actually quite emotional, much much more than they let on. But our culture has very strange notions around masculinity and what it means to be male. Vulnerability, empathy, intuition, these things are not instilled in us as positive character traits for a man. Instead, rationality, self-reliance, self-confidence, and detachment from emotion are elevated as things to aspire to.<p>There is absolutely value in being rational, self-confident, and being able to not get taken out by your emotions in a crisis situation. But when you use those things all the time in your life to get by, they become a real handicap.<p>I can&#x27;t tell you how many times I&#x27;ve worked with guys who I <i>knew</i> were going through a lot (parents with mental illness, divorce, troubled home life) but tried so hard not to let on and at the same time <i>never talked about it</i> when given an opening.<p>We have really screwed ourselves over as a culture and we owe it to our sons to redefine what masculinity is so that they don&#x27;t have to endure the same emotional hangups as us.

I&#x27;ve been writing OCaml for a while and seeing that VSCode has a pretty sweet integration for F# gets me quite excited. Is there anyone here who&#x27;s running F# on Linux &#x2F; OSX and can share their thoughts?

Fussell&#x27;s &#x27;Class&#x27; book, although dated, is a useful guide for many of these questions. And a hilarious read.

Took me until a few years ago (36yo right now) to really come to terms with this, and since then the seedling has grown tremendously. That martyr syndrome ran rampant in my early work years, and it implanted bad habits from the beginning.<p>I still haven&#x27;t been able to fully decouple myself from carrying work around as if it is my actual reason for being, but the unburdening has commenced. And anyone trying to figure it out, just spend some time thinking about the title of this thread. It&#x27;s not so much about reconfiguring my schedule or &quot;hacking&quot; my time management (tho that helps), it&#x27;s was the mindset changed that led to the &quot;oh, shit&quot; moment(s).

I think what the author poorly articulated was that with UWP, Microsoft has the opportunity to create new hardware tiers developers can target. If, instead of creating a tier above the Xbox, Microsoft created one below it then I see tremendous opportunity.<p>Imagine if Microsoft had devices at the Amazon Dash, Android TV, and Xbox One tiers that all supported UWP and Cortana. That would be a boon for developers.<p>Microsoft could also introduce a beefed up Xbox One with more powerful CPU&#x2F;GPU if it did so without creating a new tier. It could do something along the lines of the High-def packs that we see in PC games where everything functionally remains the same but the newer model receives higher resolution texture, models with more triangles, and can render out in 1080p:60fps or 4k.

&gt;Great! Then you should be strongly in favor of a basic income, because part of the logical construction of BI is the abolition of minimum wage.<p>Nope.<p>&gt;Minimum wage is a collective agreement to avoid people working below subsistence wages. Once subsistence is guaranteed covered by BI, there will be much less need for low end wage distortions.<p>No, minimum wage is a political stunt which results unemployment. That is why you now see the same union lobbyists who pushed for the $15 minimum wage now lobbying for exemptions for their unions.<p>&gt;Admittedly, many wealthy people seem to prefer having subsistence not guaranteed, it makes negotiating for low wage low skill servants much easier.<p>Are you suggesting that wealthy people are ok if all of their workers died? Seems pretty ridiculous. If I am opposed to someone stealing my wallet, does that mean I am in favor of their kids starving to death?

Good points about the ISP. But don&#x27;t we have pretty good evidence for apps installed being tracked? Installed apps are certainly recorded with the windows install system. Login and app use are both recorded in logs -- I&#x27;m pretty sure when they say they are collecting general use information to improve the windows experience it means they are sending those logs back to MS.<p>Edits: clarity

Probably a good option for newbies, but anyone that&#x27;s been coding for any length of time will already have too much muscle memory to warrant a switch. For me it&#x27;s Emacs for editing and Visual Studio Pro for &quot;project administration&quot; and in the rare situation, interactive debugging. I&#x27;ve not yet made the leap to OmniSharp, but that&#x27;s what is next.
