Exactly what I am talking about.
In my case company enforces scrum, and dumb people trying to make our scrum ideas book case of scum, whenever it works or not.
Instead adjust the scrum to our needs we are blindly using each aspect of scum, however utterly useless it is.
.... when you have hammer, everything looks like a nail. -
So true...

Its cool, I am Debian developer I like doing this stuff :) -
@esavier
I didn't made edit on time,
one typo : halt not half,
And some more info and explanations
I looked in the kernel code and right now poweroff, depending on implementations, may be unsafe. It all depends on kernel, for example Debian distro, poweroff means just kernels call reboot(), but notice that reboot is used to simply shutdown machine too. On the older AIX system ( technically unix too ) poweroff () calls acpi power management to cease. This means all unwritten changes will be lost since those are memory buffered. Basically just a keyboard way of pushing power button. Since the "sync" and "halt" commands that force system to empty buffers and cease system operations.
However, I searched and I can not find any version of poweroff or kernel implementations doing it right now. The oldest one I found have around 20 years. So yeah it is not advices but should be ok to call poweroff on the modern os'es -
No not really if you name it just s.o.s. I think noone would mind.
It's good idea to give project a temp name until release, think about it and notify me on progress please 😀 -
S.o.s the ultimate escape?
From Outpost games?
Dude, this is gonna be fabulous. I am waiting for release! -
Cool, can you share a title?
-
Yeah on Debian too,
Long long ago, power of wasn't really leaving system sane. To shutdown nicely you would need to do :
sync, umount -a, half, and poweroff
especially on IBM's AIX systems or Sun's mainframes.
Now simple shutdown will work nicely and give system 5min to do it's stuff. If you in a hurry do shutdown now as advised above. Also poweroff is doing mostly the same right now, but it's poweroff that aliases shutdown - now -
Nah, I only do code.
People are telling me that I should never ever use anything to draw and world will be a better place.
What are you working on? -
Emacs and bash like to be together, also if you get familiar with those but not necessarily need big bulky editor, you will find nano really easy, since key layout is similar and interface very minimal.
Also those work well with 'screen' if you have console only environment, I at least find it usefull AF.
Those are part of GNU toolbox and are really neatly crafted to be as easy and compatible with each other as possible, without loosing functionality.
But if it's easier to you to remember shortcuts like 'wq' instead of ctrl-s(save),ctrl-c + ctrl-x(context->exit) then do vim, but more advanced shortcuts look like random character strings.
I am c++ developer and I can't see myself working with vim. -
Politically correct, but carries no information at all.
It's called red herring and it's scary that bots can do it... -

I like you :)

I3 is not there to look beautiful. It's there to manage windows. What you put there is your imagination. I am using it with conky but real power i3 shows on at least 6 monitors.
If you want something more user friendly and cute try awesome for example. It has some options to make it nicer a bit -
There was something like devops reactions but it's dead now. I would love such subcategory on devrant but not in main rant thread
-
Hmmm... wayland... I like what I see here...
-
Debian of course, but don't install environment ( gnome) by default. Install either xface or my personal favorite : i3
Additionally you will need lightdm -
@Linux
I am guessing you are vim fan. And that's ok, everybody is a little bit masochistic deep inside...
Of course I understand, nano is good for small edits, and emacs is good for large projects, but why learning two tools if you can learn one, despite it sucks at both small and large edits.
I also understand that knowing standard bash keybindings is useless, especially that both nano and emacs have similar ones and it may speed up work, which is usually not wanted in console environment.
Also it may actually scare people that emacs have flexible plugin system that can actually transform emacs into something that can compete with eclipse - who in the right mind would do that!
Why anybody would want to learn GNU tools that are made to be compatible with each other, when you can learn bunch of random tools and excel at none... -
I am starting to like you :)

@Deadmeatgames
Yay!
Gracias! :D -
Cool, a zoidberg!
-
Just say " no, I already changed my mind" :)
-
Dark theme is THE BEST IDEA EVAHH!!!
-
Unreal is c++ I don't think it has c# bindings and I think it is for the best. Don't let c# drag you down !!
Best of luck! :) -
Hmmm, c++ porn,
I indeed knew about it but have a ++ for spreading the word :) -
@tbodt
Yeah, it feels like each os wants its own language because they think it's better than anything else. Few years and we have shitload of languages, each more fucked up than another. Windows does not comply with standard, so they released C#, apple wants a bite of its own and now we have objc and swift. Now people instead of working on new fun and usefull stuff, are writing framework ports for other platforms... -
Kind of... meh?
-
Install linux?

@mrtnrdl
Why so serious? -
True c/c++ wizards use emacs :)
