#ide

9 posts · Last used Aug 06

I had to reset and re-install #JetBrains' #IDE again (yeahyeah, blabla, #Windows, of course). And since that reinstall, the autocomplete that usually was simply completing functionality had gotten very erratic, and suggesting the stupidest auto-completes. I have a #noai file in all my projects, so.... I did not expect this setting to be turned on. But it was. Fucking #AI. Again. Amazing how this one checkbox turned a useful feature into a source of frustration. Especially because I've now unknowingly used this feature.... I hate this timeline.

#UNIX is not just an OS; it is the ultimate #IDE for #programmers. Arguably the best written introductory book on UNIX programming is "The UNIX Programming Environment", Kernighan (1983). This book covers UNIX V7, but I used it with 4.2BSD. There is another jewel of a book of a similar kind, a free one to boot, by Prof. Ballesteros (King Juan Carlos University): "Introduction to Operating Systems Abstractions Using Plan 9 from Bell Labs" (2007). Prof. Ballesteros wrote this book to teach his CS students the fundamentals of good OS design. Although almost no one uses #Plan9 today, it is alive and kicking. It even runs on Raspberry Pi. Anyone interested in OSs and likes the philosophical underpinnings of UNIX should take a look at Plan 9. The other must-read book is his "Notes on the Plan 9 3ed Kernel Source" (2007). Prof. Ballesteros has many Plan 9 related publications in PDF format. https://lsub.org/books-papers/ PS—Those with a historical bent should also read Organick's "The Multics System: An Examination of Its Structure" (1980). Multix is the mother of UNIX, and Plan 9 is the grown-up UNIX.

Replying to
@nuclearplayer@fosstodon.org or don't use their weird #CLI tool and instead go with their regular #API & #git that any decent #IDE can use…
