@ramob hmmm, sounds like you might be looking for the ancient forgotten beast called file manager. It's hierarchical and links are usually just plain text (gf in vim to follow path under cursor). Nerdtree is popular one. I use vimfiler + unite.vim, which covers pretty much everything, safe copy/cut/paste, bulk rename, file search, grep in directory, file type associations, and probably a lot more with the new neovim versions (defx.nvim, denite.nvim).

@Meeper objection! no skin visible.

> I know that I don't know
meh, obvi, how dumb must you be to think you know everything, pfft... I know everything that's important though.

> I know that I don't know
okay, there might be some important things I don't know yet... the priests know it though.

> I know that I don't know
ok, actually, it turns out there are some really important things that I neither know nor can ever hope to know... send help.

Why does arrow operator not drill through raw pointers to the final value? Pointers don't have members anyway :V

#cpp

An index of an array of references? That's just a pointer to a pointer, duh. I finally achieved the second level of indirection in its pure form.

#programming

javascript: I'm pushing around some code to get it to work.

c++: the code is pushing me around to get me to work.

@georgia no no, you don't get it, the same helpful tech support man goes and simps on(for?) walter lewin... it's a cultural thing...

yeah it took me a month to commit a function, so what? how long can you last?

#programming

Since it was a tie between map, progress and linin, I obviously had to go with way.

@georgia oh, I had an urge to subpost too, what a nice opportunity and comfy place:
"You should not compete with men, instead use your own strength to your advantage... that is shut up, stay home and cook... now let me make a statistical argument by looking at extremes... you might think the whole thing makes no sense, but that is because you haven't considered the catastrophic devastation that the wold war 3 that I'm working on is going to cause globally"

@Sphinx make sure to slap @Lwasserman before asking, to get proper attention

@Lwasserman wha? the sum is the whole point of the exercise, always read the problem carefully, kids...

@Sphinx

@mister_monster I'd like to interject for a moment. What you are referring to as done, is in fact, not done, or as I've recently taken to calling it, lazy evaluation. When you can't (or don't want to, cause lazy, but in this case most definitely can't) do something, you just say you have done it and when someone asks for the result, you just do the relevant part of the work at that moment and hand it over. The site generates the books as you request them. I couldn't find any evidence that it ever generated anything coherent (that was not input by the user with the clever "search" trick). If you can bare to go through all the nonsense in the theory section the one or two references to any sort of calculation there admit that the task is impossible.

@georgia

@phryk I'm not accusing you, I'm simply picking apart the quote.

@phryk I'm pretending to be a lawyer, some government official or general public you are trying to convince. Your whole justification is "IP is right, but we can't enforce or keep track of it", that's why I'm talking about what IP is and what it considers right. I can rephrase:

Yarr, fella! Sum evil killer peeps are terrorizing the villages and nobody can stops em. Does this mean killing is good?

@phryk according IP laws you can (for a certain amount of time) own it. Past is past, mistakes can't be undone, the laws are concerned about the present and the future. Thousands is very countable by modern day standards. npm could charge a small amount from you (or anyone who ever used any library/framework) and distribute it according to IP owners. It could also check a list of entities allowed or denied to copy the work, maintained by the copyright holders of each project - a list that can be as specific as they want to exclude all sorts of evil nazis of course. You are simply saying we are not registering and enforcing IP effectively enough (or can not do it at all), to which an answer is "ok we will try to do better, would you attach your credit card to npm please? no? well we gotta make it a law then". After all no law is perfectly enforced. There are murderers who walk free and innocents who are convicted. Does it mean we should cancel criminal law?

@phryk Yes, as I said I agree with the assertion but the quoted justification is weak. It says that thousands were neglected, so an easy rebuttal is "well we will not neglect them anymore and that is why we need patent law".

Regarding the it.
> It's a "whoops...
It = quote, or what it boils down to as it does not challenge the concept IP, and in a way supports it (regardless of the good intentions).
> It is not thousands of inventors...
it = the justification of the assertion (which I agree with)

Any further it refers to things within the paragraph itself, not anything external and seem more or less clear.
