I agree, this is an anti-pattern for me.

Having explicit throw keywords is much more readable compared to hiding flow-control into helper functions.

They've lost potential revenue, but that is not the same as if amazon would come to their house and had stolen their only rucksack prototype.

Potential revenue is not your property.

It still sucks though.

I wouldn't say that Linux & Gimp are objectively better, but they sure are better in the long run, since you plop "gimp" into a nix configuration and never have to deal with installation and cracking.

Another vote for pine.

If it is so heavy that when you try to move it, it makes you say "shit i didn't expect it to be this heavy", then it might not be pine.

programming.dev does not get it. Can you explain?

It is kinda obvious that maxist ideas are aligned with the open source ideas. Are they very much against commies?

This is the real big-endian way. So your things line-up when you have all of these:

file_dialogue_open
file_dialogue_close
file_dropdown_open
file_rename
directory_remove

If I were designing a natural language, I'd put adjectives after the nouns, so you start with the important things first:

car big red

instead of

big red car

After reading stories like this, I more and more convinced that if we want to have a free market, we need to limit the size of companies allowed to participate in it. Because if you have 2 companies controlling the whole market, they can and will produce "dynamic security"-type of garbage.

Barges into a lemmy thread

Gives a strong, but quite abstract opinion criticizing abstractions
