  • Just for reference, because programming is not one big tent, as far as I know most people working professionally developing for the Linux kernel, gcc and glic uses only a text editor and “Unix as your IDE”. I never tried myself but I have a feeling that any IDE with git integration would just immediately cry trying to interact with the kernel or gcc git repo. Even gits own PS1 status feature slows to crawl in this repos.



  • How parsing (as in programming languages and commands) works is so interesting and is so hard for people to grasp and is really interesting to see how what you think is obvious is not for most people. I saw it all the time when teaching cs102. It is so hard to explain the difference that a blank space makes and why sometimes it is necessary and why sometimes it is not.

    That is all to say I find it really interesting and funny when OP says double pipe, because of course it looks like double pipe, you gonna tell me That || is something completely different than a single | ?


  • I will definetly do at some point. But last time I looked into LabWC they were not implementing some of the actions that I use. I guess I can adapt but even recently I started to use some key chains and is a shame that LabWC has no intention to implement it.

    Apart from that It would be nice if they implemented an alternative format for the config files, because that is one drawback of Openbox, the XML config is really rough to do and to read.
