Knowing and enacting are two distinct things, "you should do what I want you to do" means you're already doing the wrong thing, and yes, there is an agreement on what the right thing is, its what is ethical, that is, what non

I'd rather it use ?.() the . means getkey, () means expression using .(expr) should be the same as array[], throwing ? as a character should be very obvious what it does.

No, not basically, it simply doesn't have them, Ternary means three as in it operates on 3 operands, and/or operates on 2 operands. They are also not equivalent. x = a ? b : c # x is b, same as you would if a {x=b} else {x=c}

Via comparison of the solutions, we measure objectives and actions performed and the time it requires to do them. Objectively, Minecraft is a game, an objective of many games is to waste time, therefore this cannot be used as a measurement,

It has a wiki, forum and issues included. So it definitely can do that, what fossil allows by default is to not have a docs/ or bugs/todo file, because its all in the server part.

by nmz 5mo ago
A key feature of github is you could bug report on many projects without registering an account for each one, this is not true of fossil. if fossil is to be taken seriously, then it needs a distributed auto id system, oauth or the like.

This makes me wonder, is there analysis of the syntax and if so can't it pick the lightest implementation? I see how light dillo is on the same page as chrome and I don't know why a web browser of the caliber of chrome does so muc
