  • People who come here to say Linux is not good or that this community is an echo chamber and get mad for pointing out obvious flaws in the OS miss two things:

    1. The post is an opinion of someone. Notice the “I” in the title? That should give you some clue.

    2. You are offended when people suggest that you learn and adapt to the OS, but you suggest that Linux should support your workflow without any effort on your part to learn the OS. Which is hypocritical to say the least.




  • Professional code golfers (Is that the right term?) build up a large suite of helper libraries from past events/from daily puzzle solving that they invoke for common problem types like graph search or constraint solving, or even for converting the text input to the right data structures.

    I assume the most difficult aspect of the problems is to translate the statements into actual code constraints/filter functions. So the spirit of the competition is not broken by having pre-written code (Although I am not sure many would think pre-written code is acceptable).
