systems

its open source, we can fork .. (i know for such a project it will require a very special group of "we", but in theory .. it can happen)

for me the highlight of this release is the docked speedbar, it took them too long, but its finally here

dired mode is fine, and i appreciate it, but having the folder view docked on the left, was something i missed in emacs, happy its finally here

C++ succeeded because it was Object Oriented, people didn't start talking about RAII as C++ killer feature until years later

python succeeded because it wasn't Perl's TMTOWTDI, everyone expected ruby to overtake python, but .. for some reason that never happened

swift succeeded because apple pushed it to replace objective c, that if you consider swift succeeded

anyway, i agree with your premise, languages need one key strategic advantage feature to succeed, but you just got it wrong on few of them .. and if i am wrong too, then the premise is weak, if we are not sure what the killer feature is, we then have no idea why the language succeeded

its a specific type of language, not all language are the same , the nature of that specificity is the main point of the the claim made in this article

how are they obviously semi shady? whats shady about brave?

the use case for sql to er, is to study a database new to you

so the db already exist, but they have no er, and maybe even little docs

so it act more like an exploratory tool, ideally, it should allow you to create views and add notes, so you dont have to look at the full er at once, especially if the number of table is huge, and if many of those tables are missing foreign keys

its 43 CAD at amazon so no

a book like this should be 20-25 CAD max specially since its clearly a pop corn read .. "I won't pretend I have this all figured out" .. I don't think anyone should pay 43 CAD to read you thinking out loud (the lean startup is 25 CAD by the way, with a 10% discount)

if ever it goes on discount on amazon, maybe

we don't pay for emails either

i think for consumer protection, AI products need to be flagged as AI products, clearly labelled as AI produced or assisted , of course for free goods the burden is on us, but for anything we pay for, I hope we get this protection

well, it also made by the same guy behind the boring go book which probably means that boring go is also most likely AI generated

nowadays before reading or buying any book, we need to extensively investigate the author, the author name is now more important than ever, i think whenever a book is shared, the author need to me highlighted

do you mean use none core libraries / 3rd party libs or using libraries from different languages like how some libs or frameworks from different languages create bindings to python libs

many C# libs are available via Nugets, which are not more or less complicated than other languages package managers

i personally think C# package management is more obscure, compared to other languages

this is a who comes first, chicken or egg

Nim is one of those languages that tries to be everything for everyone, trying to fill the range from python to C++

If Nim had any strategic edge anywhere, someone smart would have picked it up to build something very successful and it would have had more sponsors
