I can insult you, but you can’t call me out because I’ll insult you again. lulz!!

The code is open and there for you to read. What you’re actually saying is you’re too lazy to read and understand it because the world owes you something. amirite?

You’re going to be horrified to discover the software versions the military use.

Debian SID?

mentioning pointers, time sharing, endianess, word size, registers

You’re making me hard! Don’t stop!

It actually leads to a fantastic product and more free time because you’re not having to babysit kids who think the world owes them something because they can code ‘hello world’ in python.

Oh the irony. What’s gatekeeping about not wanting rubbish code in your repository? Lack of knowledge is self-gatekeeping.

The ‘wah wah…boomer’ cries are…cringe. Either step up with the knowledge and action, or don’t bother and cry “gatekeeping”.

less hard than running debian or redhat back in the 90s

Zoomers will never know the pain… and the joy and actually getting it installed!

Stable means not updated.

Oh no! I haven’t got the latest push from 30 seconds ago. My operating system is so out of date and I’m so uncool!!11

No flavour of Linux works well with them. That’s the joke or something.

If someone is accepting the fact that shit might go sideways, is willing to learn through experiencing issues first-hand or simply likes to spend time fiddling with their OS to find the perfect setup for them - that should be the Arch- and Arch-derivatives audience.

But once you leave the comfort of your parents house, time is money and no one has a spare twelve hours to get a functional OS together when another distro would do it in minutes.

Although Ive been using linux for 2 years now, and i still want an installation manager with sane defaults.

Have you heard about our Lord and Saviour, Debian?

I remember installing Debian before Ubuntu was born using an ncurses type interface and spending five minutes selecting the packages I want to install, (only for it to tell me that one package was incompatible with another and the installation couldn’t proceed!) but being able to do it somewhat graphically made it so much easier than simply by text.

An OS stays out of your way and lets you do what you need to do. Having to essentially create the basics yourself is unproductive and a waste of my time.

I’m pretty sure “Power users” don’t use Ubuntu.

And this is how I see Linux quickly unravelling and planned insecurities creeping in over the next decade or so.

I do miss the tags of SVN that would replace certain strings on each commit such as the date, a version number, etc.

All of javascript is kinda just pretend.

CVS is gonna make a comeback! I tell ya!

In the case of this gist, it’s premature optimization. Generally it’s necessary cuz new implementations come along often.

That sounds terribly inexperienced. That’s exactly what updates to code are for. You cannot manage all kind of, sort of similar but different libraries with one code base. It would be horrific to even consider it.

By embedding the class, creates a limitation that prevents abstractions or other implementations of each component. Imagine every suggestion in this conversation thread is another variation with a separate implementation.

If the user wanted to create a new FoldableDockWidget with a different title bar, they’d extend the FoldableDockWidget class and override the Titlebar method in their extension of it. I understand your point, but isn’t it over optimisation?

The widget class belongs to the FoldableDockWidget class until it doesn’t. Then a refactor is needed.

One line of instantiating code. I can’t imagine where or how the custom title bar would be used outside of the Foldable Dock Widget class though. That’s probably the real reason why I made it a sub class. Not how I’d do it in other languages, but in Python? I’m trying it out!

Hardwiring a particular implementation of the Windowing python wrapper is necessary. They have slightly different implementations. If something magically new comes along, then, the code is updated. Again, over optimisation here which is unnecessary.

The code in the process guard is just sample code to demonstrate use of the class. No big deal. It’s separate to the class and not to be imported because… this is a gist of sample code!
