Not showing them puts doubt...it also means having to explain to
a user somewhere how to turn it on...OpenBSD doesnt have this..
Linux does, FreeBSD does...macOS probably does but you'd need to
buy a permit and then sign it in blood...
As usual, ever-changing...What a shame if they would drop this OS
midway through all these changes towards some vision.
Dear Apple, finish what you have begun...too many wasted man hours
bodging all the changes you make between releases (major and minor).
This comment's origin could be disputable it's from libtop.c
from macOS top command. There is very little external documentation
for these things. As time goes on it gets worse....
I don't belive in ifdef blocks within a single function. Ideally
keep the blocks separate at worst. I think if this is necessary
at the time it's permissible but overall it's fucking ugly.
The functions machine.h provides are deliberately using standard
functions from a base install of the operating system. This IS
intentional. I'd like to be able to modify and reuse this anywhere
without having to untangle additional dependencies from machine to
machine.
To make this maintainable (for now), split the machine querying
code into separate files. I'd like to be able to modify the file
without fear of breaking it here or there. Also, for anyone who
wants to make a change or ammendment doing this is cleaner.
Make the UI simpler. Give everything a window. It's not clever
to only allow one action at a time. I think it seemed cool
because every other environment is simplifying the interface.
I don't really agree with this. Also some "tabs" don't
currently justify having the whole window.
hashtag **** it!
