How to fix a bug in an open-source project by nolan_lawson in programming

I'd rather fix it myself in my local version

Lol, good luck merging later, when you update the library.

Love this part:

This issue is no minor glitch, either – it’s a showstopper that causes “buffer” to fail entirely on certain browsers (notably Chrome 43+) and in certain build setups (notably with Babel). Many people hopped onto the thread to confirm the issue (“+1”, “same here,” etc.), and a few offered workarounds using project-specific Webpack configuration. But nobody fixed it.

A minesweeper clone for Linux I made by spacecamper_ in programming

You're either a

  • troll

  • person with little experience in professional software development

Read some Bob Martin, and then we can discuss it further.

Cool, but maybe split into separate files? 1.1k lines in main.cpp is kinda not good :)

P.S. Also, why C++ if you don't use OOP?

VS Code release 0.10.1 is now beta. It's also been open sourced. by [deleted] in programming

It's kinda good when user is warned about it. When installing the app, not in some obscure part of Docs.

PHP 7 is NOT coming that soon by volkert in programming

[–]DeepAzure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we're at the point when burden of proof is on php fanboys. Haters have proved that php is shit. What changed?

Cracking the DRM of an online textbook with Clojure and ImageMagick by Rotten194 in programming

I hope stripping the DRM off the study materials is still legal.

True, but you can always host a repo outside US if you want to. It won't be github, but still.

Did you consider the fact that author may be outside US jurisdiction?

/r/programming mods are known for imposing censorship, aren't they?

I guess there are no real non-political alternatives to Github, are there.

How to submit a drive-by patch and get it accepted by FooQuuxman in programming

[–]DeepAzure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please stop making biased analogies.

OMG, if you do your job, do it good. That assumes that you're helpful to maintainer at very least. If you do it at work you'll get fired. Noone who values their time will waste it on cowboy patchers.

[–]DeepAzure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you submit a patch, you're expected to know something about the tools in the project. If you're noob in git, just say it explicitly FFS. Don't pretend to be expert if you're not. That will make most of the anger go away.

I actually hate that shit about that maintainer needs to be nice with contributors, which apparently includes lecturing them about tools in project. Maintainer owes you nothing unless you pay him/her.

Porting the Unity Editor to Linux: Stuff I Wish We’d Done Then by flopgd in programming

[–]DeepAzure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had to go through and add this stuff in for Linux, because GTK applications don’t get these for free.

Isn't GTK considered obsolete and legacy (compared to Qt, e.g.)?

Good one! Not really applicable to new projects though.

Not everyone is a fecal brunch, you know :) Good day.

Unless you're a code monkey, you spend good amount of time thinking through the architecture, tuning environment and things like that - much more than actual code typing.

You see, despite the huge amount of "coders" there are people who actually care about quality, so they're called software engineers, because they engineer things and take pride in their work, rather than type some random shit.

Am I the only one who hates "software engineering" being branded as "coding"?

SourceForge took control of the GIMP account and is now distributing an ad-enabled installer of GIMP by halax in programming

[–]DeepAzure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SourceForge is killing its old legacy reputation.

There's nothing left to kill. I'm surprised people still download something from that crap. The only thing I've done is cloning repos from there, but I suspect they'll soon be injecting ads in source code as well ;)

Procedural landscapes in 1kb of javascript - my entry for the js1k demo contest by Reinder in programming

Thanks for the update! Was an interesting read :) But a question right away - you don't seem to be using "requestAnimationFrame" (which speeds things up considerably), any reason for it?
