| Dec 15, 2010 at 17:22 | comment | added | Robert S Ciaccio | /slight off topic: This discussion also made me realize why the above pseudo-codish format made more sense to me than listing the stuff out in plain english. I tend to see the second clause of a conditional expression as the more important, and having more weight than the first, if only semantically. If the first part of the expression evaluates to false, we then need to evaluate the second. But if the first had evaluated true, we would have immediately moved on to the code block. So in this case, the second condition has the final say. | |
| Dec 15, 2010 at 17:07 | comment | added | Robert S Ciaccio | Also, I guess since my question was two parts, it's a little harder to answer. The first part is relatively simple... I probably could have just decided that as a *nix site, vi and clones would be on-topic and be done with it. The second part is a little more hazy (and subjective I suppose). Are these the kinds of questions that will be well received, and will they receive expert answers here, better answers than if I were to use say Programmers.SE or SO? So far the answers have concentrated on part 1... I'd like to hear some opinions on part 2. | |
| Dec 15, 2010 at 17:04 | comment | added | Robert S Ciaccio | @xenoterracide: "Applications packaged in *nix distributions (note: being cross-platform does not disqualify)": I don't remember what it looked like before your change, however I think this is still rather ambiguous to the uninitiated. I'm not exactly a noob and even I could get confused. Maybe expand on the definition of cross-platform, or put it on its own line? | |
| Dec 15, 2010 at 14:21 | comment | added | xenoterracide Mod | I've updated our faq does this make things more clear? | |
| Dec 15, 2010 at 14:10 | comment | added | xenoterracide Mod | @calavera I'm not going to write an answer, because I wrote this thread long ago vi is part of SUS so it is even more unix than most crossplatform apps. | |
