Compiler: Dark mode or light mode
Me: Is that even a question to ask

which mode you prefer?!

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Have stopped using apps which don’t support dark mode 🥶

@piperguy
Lol 😂😶

Wrong tag

Since I don’t wanna burn my retinas out at 3:00 in the morning, dark mode

@10Dev
yaa that's true😅

What compiler?

I prefer fast mode for my compiler

@rantsauce
IDE

That's a really weird question for a compiler to ask. They're supposed to be headless, stateless programs that convert a set of files into a different set of files.

Ah, I see your reply now.

When I first learned C# our school enforced light theme for Visual Studio through group policy. I was allowed to use a laptop to take notes because of my bad eyesight so I started working on that and emailing myself the project when done. The IT teacher didn't like that I didn't pop up on the supervision software, but he really couldn't do much beside being harsh with grading and complaining about me to my parents (who didn't understand the situation but opposed the screen mirroring supervision software anyway because they remembered how pointless it is to pretend to be busy when you don't care about a subject or already know the material).

Depends on the local daytime

@homo-lorens sounds like a horrific school system

Dead mode

@electrineer Every school is grossly underfunded, no one would take a teacher's salary unless they either really like teaching or are truly desperate. Everything else comes more or less directly from this. The core system needs minimal reform, maybe state-mandated rights to the student union or some other feedback mechanism that bypasses the parents' social games that ultimately incapacitate the current parental committees.

@homo-lorens dude I can't upvote this enough. Pay the teachers more, allow the students to have a voice, and take parents out of the equation

Yes, I love gcc --dark

@rEaL-jAsE dark mode just blends seamlessly with the empty void within my heart.

@homo-lorens Shit, that sucks. Concentration camp material !

@10Dev Why pay teachers more ? Why not privatise the system and pay them *what they deserve* ? We tend to come out of school and forget all the insights we had into the vast majority fo teachers being mostly incompetent and not underpaid, overworked smart people.

@cpyandmore Are we prepared to the social and economical effects of excluding 40% of the country from all education? 1/10 of the current population emigrated since 2000, typically skilled labour and intellectuals. The very last thing we need is lower education rates because we've turned education from a right to a luxury.

(I'm talking about Hungary which is where I went to college)

@homo-lorens My bad, Im not hungarian and have never been there. Maybe this doesn't apply there.

@cpyandmore Privatisation doesn't solve everything. I went to the highest ranking high school/ college for mathematics in the country which would never have been possible if we had to pay the price of the brand. I'm not unqualified, but in a free market social mobility is only awarded to a lucky few through scholarships and the rest are distributed according to their parents' class. In a centralised system the norm is that everyone goes to the best (accessible) school they are qualified for.

I use dark themes due to eye problems and need to not strain my eyes any more then possible, although I do work with the lights on - working in the dark isn't good either.

however keeping dark themes consistent is the real pain in the ass when applications don't allow custom themes or websites have horrendous css, looking at you Jira 👀

@rEaL-jAsE just my preference.

@rEaL-jAsE
Man what's not so special😐

@cpyandmore Another thing: Teachers are incompetent because they are underpaid, due to the very nature of the free market. There are tons of competent people willing to teach, but they don't want to teach so badly that they would take a 20-fold salary cut. This is why in lots of social democratic states schools are private, and the state contracts them to take nearby children. This allows them to operate at prices that would be a little too high for the working class and pay their teachers well.

There are lots of ways to run a school system and each region has its own issues to figure out, but just simply removing the government without gradual transition or thorough consideration for the larger state of the economy almost never comes without severe adverse effects.

And yeah, Hungary is its own problrm, being a post-soviet state with lots of defunct or badly organised infrastructure. So many people are below the poverty line and in a vulnerable position that if you let capitalism run wild we'd slide back to the middle ages.

I prefer the Devrant light mode.
