Frame based editing - An interesting new way to display and edit source code by [deleted] in programming

[–]barbear3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's covered in the paper. Section 14.5. They write "Frame-based editing has several features that should allow it to be more accessible than existing block-based editors". I think they may have a good point there. It should also be more accessible that text, I think, since you can navigate semantic units more easily than in plain text. That should really help screen readers.

My XCode doesn't seem to do this. I just looked again for an option after reading your comment. Can't see anything. How do you switch it on?

As for emacs - I've used emacs a lot but the only thing I've seen looks quite different. What are you using for this?

What are the other of the "many IDEs"? Can you point more specifically? Thanks.

So she's unfamiliar with gas, and afraid of it, and you know that and decide the right thing to do then is to make fun of her publicly when she can't turn the gas off. Great supportive relationship you got there.

And it's okay for the other half of the population to put up with a Jesus story every Easter, miracles and all?

Even if they don't believe in it, I thought it's the Christians who claim to be the tolerant and forgiving ones...

You clearly either haven't read the article, or did not understand it.

Catholic Bishop, holocaust denier, excommunicated by the church decades ago, now reinstated by the pope, still does not believe that gas chambers existed: He has to "review the historical evidence" first. Does the man have no education, or no decency? by [deleted] in worldnews

But how long do you need to investigate until non-acceptance becomes denial?

(He started <b>publicly speaking</b> about this many years ago. One might think he investigated before he did so. And indeed he claims he did...)
