> Will you also complain when enough Waymo cars start running on the freeways that a couple of them in a row can effectively enforce following distances and speed limits, for example?
In my state, that would itself be a traffic violation, so yes I would. The leftmost lane on an interstate highway is reserved for passing. An autonomous vehicle cruising in that lane (regardless of speed) would therefore be programmed in a way that deliberately violates this law.
Enforcement is its own challenge, whether robots or humans.
Shell scripts are a byproduct of the shell existing. Generations of programmers have cut their teeth in CLI environments. Anything that made shell scripts "no longer a thing" would necessarily destroy the interactive environment, and sounds like a ladder-pull to the curiosity of future generations.
Sibling reply notes the "process" is the problem, amd I would second that. I would also like to add, it's perfectly possible to produce a high quality code base with poor practices. This can happen with very small, expert teams. However, certain qualities become high-variance, which becomes a hazard over time.
The risk is anything else dropping your connection while an interactive long-running process is going. You can nohup, or run inside something like screen/tmux,
That was my first thought upon reading the title. However, people learn, grow, and change. I believe his argument will carry more weight with the acknowledgment and duscussion of his own prior decision. It's not hypocrisy; it's a lesson learned.
There's a DVD "limited edition" of the trilogy that is 2 discs each, and the "extras" disc has either the original or laserdisc edit. This is good. The downside is that the black levels and audio are obviously dated/untouched. There's just no market for "remastering" without the content changes.
It was pretty clear to me before hitting your disclaimer. I suppose right now, three sentences is plenty. I feel that I shouldn't go into detail about the noteworthy features.
Agreed, but heck any appliance. Email client moving sruff around? It should be for a reason, I don't want my daily tasks opting me into their idea of neuroplasticity training.
I would also be irate if my coffee maker or microwave rearranged it's buttons. Any argument that it's "good for you" is inherently hostile.
I find using the Olson DB names works in real life too--everybody understands "9AM Chicago" vs. "9AM Shanghai". Major international city names have fewer hash collisions than TZ abbreviations.
