@redstonetehnik is it for the MMORPG from Korea / technik was taken or too obvious so went with a typo?

@vrpg1998 somehow that has CVE written all over it. I'm sure it will have a clever name and website too 😓

@doz87 ok glad it wasn't me.. Hopefully the resume stack is deep : ) and you have some alternatives. I try not to use others but it's because of muscle memory... and laziness.

And I would *never* tell someone at work that I "only" work in Vim.. Tell them that the company hasn't upgraded yet and they'll have to use Vi for now :p

@doz87 it was meant in the most sarcastic way because I'm tired of rants about text editors. It wasn't meant to offend but was just my gut reaction to yet another rant about the same thing.

And that's what they are - text editors. Not IDEs. If someone feels superior because of the program they edit code in then there are bigger issues to deal with.

@Fenix thank you, that's kind of what I figured. I was actually testing with the Java (1) man page which had all the various GC strategies. I couldn't really make heads or tails of whether to use the Linux huge pages (decided no for now). Like I said, I had no idea there were that many fine tuning parameters in Java. I've really only worked with C++ and Python. It actually made me want to go learn some Java to be better rounded, at least for high level... Instead ignoring it like I have. Thanks again --

Vim FTW

@seplayer I'm not a Java dev, so this may be redef as corner case? I had to update some JVM "flags" don't know what else to call them... Anyways looking at docs mentioned that Java can explicitly call for GC.. is that close enough to free or is it something that's there but not often used? I was amazed, btw, at the level of tuning options available. Reminded me a little of reading GCC docs 😉

@redstonetehnik You don't ping 8.8.8.8 when feeling "hacky", but when you're feeling lonely. All those messages and no one responds.. maybe 8.8.8.8 will respond... 🤔

@aile11 yes! Immediately what I thought of and scrolled down to see you beat me to it. 😐

Edit: I'm not on here much and didn't realize you beat me to it 8 days ago..

Development folder?! We had prod. Commit to prod. That's it.

Best part - they thought that backing up the production env (restore ≈ 2hrs.) was an effective"optimization".. that was a long year.

@sam9669 it's a reference to Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) and to the NH state motto found on their license plates. Even when second hand versions become available they are extremely expensive.

IMO you're better off getting a real one from your state that you could actually use.. probably not the word Linux, though : ) Post a picture if you get one! 🐧

@runfrodorun ok.

@runfrodorun man ld.so | tail -4. Games preload their own libraries all the time, if you want to be technical about "bugs" and the Linux kernel.

Most people don't argue the whole kernel/OS bit any more; but definitely check out the Linux Foundation's page, "What is Linux". Hopefully that clears up any confusion.

@LicensedCrime with enough flags anything will compile

@runfrodorun if it's not F/OSS then you can't search the source. E.g. any given game on Steam.

@theothergod and I was saying, last time here, that's one example while trying to extrapolate to the population (entire ecosystem). As a whole, *my* personal experience has been great. Agree to disagree & done.

@theothergod why is ST slower than Vim? You can't cherry pick examples to prove a negative. "Best" is subjective, determined by preference, operating system, use case, and many other factors.

It's actually not bad on mine, unfortunately my favorite Firefox is going through some tough times with managing itself. Android more than anything.. kills the battery while chrome seems to repower on solar energy or something

I've had to work with TFS.. I know the pain. If anything all that waiting on reboots and updates gave me time to come up with about 100 other acronyms to refer to TFS (eg this &#¡+ sucks) hang in there 😝

@g1abhi unless your profile is also in ram then it just frees it. Tricky part is writing the profile back to disk at appropriate intervals and of course keeping a backup. I went from thousands of writes per minute with Chrome to essentially one per session, or about once per two hours if it's left open.

I'm not a web developer but aren't they're ways to use macro processing to do the typing and translation for you? Seems like I've seen web code decorated with \@

SQL server is up on AUR now. I'm gonna take a wild guess (bc I honestly haven't looked) that it's not a user compiled app.. which is why I won't even test it.. says the bi developer!

Likewise, I seem to I saw an argument up on GitHub a while back about bash on windows bc they don't release the source for that either, or only pieces... point there was what's there to hide on software that's literally evolved over 2.5 decades as free software. Now they have the secret sauce? Come on. 🚫🤔

..now I have to go look at the AUR package and see what's actually installed!

Made me think of the old SNL Celebrity Jeopardy 😊

@ScribeOfGoD very true. And if the program is open source then you'll see 10 versions of it with different names.

People will recommend one of the ten versions, maybe even argue that it's the best. But, they don't realize that they're arguing for the same software.

Is analyzer supposed to be analyst?

Look at all the flags with 'man cowsay' - mind blown! Also has funny comments for a man page 🙂

@Jase why throw Linux under the bus with Windows? That's just rude.

Also, if the bugs are very simple, then you should be able to earn $$$ with the bug bounty program, right? 🤔

@tahnik VLC uses FFmpeg back end, so if you choose GPU accelerated decoding in the preferences then it will use "every bit of hardware"... At least the Linux version. I'm not sure about W10.

@mtverlee umm I have found the exact opposite. Python is native in Linux but very foreign in Windows. Sit down at any Linux tty and type python. Now try that on cmd.exe. 😩

It's THE reason I even tried Linux my first year of grad school (and never looked back from either!) I was tired of dealing with Python/Windows dependencies.

You haven't lived until you've tried lisp.

Jk. Don't do that!

Python is great for many reasons! We all agree on that ; )
