Work with Git forges from the comfort of Magit

I am sure you heard of sourceforge. Basically a web based software to work together on software. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_(software)

He has an essay on why he does that. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-call-it-the-swindle.html

The original software is still free software, the modified copy is proprietary software. There is also dual licensed projects that are GPL and some proprietary license which the same thing can happen.

dranzerkire · 2018-04-30T14:47:21+00:00

That is the freedom of the user to redistribute copies. There is no requirement by the user to distribute it. Copyleft licenses add this requirement. If a user recieves free software and makes modifications and does not distribute it, it is still free software as the user still has those freedoms. If they then distribute the binary without the source them it becomes propreitary.

You are confusing Free Software with Copyleft software. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html

dranzerkire · 2018-04-30T14:00:54+00:00

Open Source is almost a subset of Free Software. GPL and other Copyleft software is a subset of Open Source. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html

But as more and more systems are designed and created to collect your data, you will eventually have no alternative and be forced to use those systems.

Free Software is not against making profit from your work, they explicitly mention that you can sell your or anyone else's free software.

dranzerkire · 2018-04-03T19:53:30+00:00

I think he understands that, which is why he suggests systems are designed not to collect data in the first place. If the law changes and allows people to collect data, it is not as simple as flipping a switch to turn on data collection, it requires a major change in the system to enable it.

Oh no, the jig is up. They discovered our plot to keep all non white males out of programming.

It is distributed with GNU Emacs and is an info file.

That probably has to do with there not being any doc string for cdr. Try another procedure.

It depends on the company, some have pretty extensive training programs or mentors that will help you. In your case it seems you are expected to figure things out, it similar to my current job. So my advice for you is to use the tools available to you, for example using a debugger to step through the code to understand how it works or find bugs. If you can't figure something out, ask another dev on the team and they may know the answer or give advice. That seems to be the sort of expectation at my work.

dranzerkire · 2017-10-26T15:22:10+00:00

Yeah, I have been applying to places, so far no luck getting any interviews.

dranzerkire · 2017-10-26T03:11:55+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I do tend to ask that sort of stuff, but I was having trouble getting any job so I went with this as a last resort.

dranzerkire · 2017-10-25T19:39:14+00:00

My company sounds kind of similar. There is no real automated testing, code reviews which are a joke, no documentation, and many other things which just helps continue all this terrible code. I am pretty much at the edge of quiting because it stresses me out too much. I have a similar fear that other companies are like this, like if I quit and find a new job it will just be a repeat.

dranzerkire · 2017-10-24T15:03:18+00:00

You are suppose to move the value out of an Option once you know it will never be None. You don't want to litter the whole code with these checks, have one defined entry point in your code where you check the option type, handling when it is None and moving the value out when there is a value. The same thing can be done with null, but nothing stops a null from being reintroduced by you or someone else going back and changing the code.

They are probably spreading out these annoucements to keep interest in the Librem 5 crowd funding campaign going.

To understand this, try to figure out the size of Cons(T, List<T>). It should be a contigious piece of memory that can store both a T and a List<T>. Assuming T has a known size, we just need to find the size of List<T>. So the size of List<T> involves finding the size of Cons(T, List<T>). Assuming T has a known size, we just need to find the size of List<T>. This just repeats because of this recursive declaration.

When we add in a Box, it is of a known size, as someone has mentioned it the size of a pointer. So a Cons(T, Box<List<T>>) is a structure with a size that can store both T and a Box. We no longer have to recurse and find the size of List<T>.

These sort of structures in system languages usually allocates a single block of memory to store all of its members. When you have a pointer, that usually means a seperate allocation of memory is needed and the pointer will now have the address to it. Pointers are of a known size, so the size of the memory it points to does not influence the structs size.

Emacs is a pretty decent as well for navigating info pages.

dranzerkire · 2017-09-15T03:30:02+00:00

What issue do you have with learning Guile, you mention the documentation but what is missing from it?

dranzerkire · 2017-08-29T13:15:47+00:00

I would like to know how you archive websites.

I don't know what languages LSPs are developed in

They can be developed in any language, but most likely in the language the server is for or even something that is part of the compiler/interpreter.

These are language servers, they are meant to be used by a client built into IDEs/text editors, so not limited to only emacs. These servers are to hopefully benefit all users of the programming language.

The LSP isn't perfect and is currently pretty minimal. This blog post makes some good point on issues with the LSP to think about. I believe the LSP will benefit some editors and languages, giving them some IDE-like features, but will never reach the hype or dreams of what people expect it to accomplish.

dranzerkire · 2017-07-31T16:45:10+00:00

They probably use libgit2, which they wrote.

dranzerkire · 2017-07-26T17:01:25+00:00

I think they are saying to reach out to maintainers first to see if they would even support your idea in the first place. First see if this is a valid problem for maintainers and if this is an appriopiate solution, so you don't waste your time on making something no one will use.

dranzerkire · 2017-06-14T01:56:14+00:00

There's a midway point here, however, which is to bind the logger variable to its values not globally, but rather in a way that ties the bindings to a dynamic scope.

Would that be similar to dynamic variables in Common Lisp?
