Vscode? Near instant start times. Macros? Standard column select with just alt.

Sublime? Honestly I can't remember as it's been a while since i used it.

Gedit? 100s ROM standard text operations such as line trims, case replacement, line ending replacement, find in files, replace in files, replace via regex in files, split window of same file, auto save non-saved files, show whitespace from tool bar, opening of very large files quickly, code folding, line numbers shown by default, probably wouldn't print errors when executed in the background on a fresh or updated install for the last 10 years necessitating the redirecting of all output streams thereby hiding possible issues.

And I actually kinda like gedit...

Waiting for the "if we'd all just use emacs" folks to show up.

Reddit does another thing that is very important to me: 3. Content Rehosting

You see this on subreddits such as /r/IdiotsInCars and /r/Earthporn.

The former allows the user to upload videos while the latter is for images. This helps the user have a more pleasant experience because it reduces/eliminates

- popup fatigue (worldstar, local news sites, etc.), - back button hijacking (CNN, local news sites, etc.), and - walled gardens (NYT, Newyorker, WSJ, etc.).

I think reddit could encourage their users to attribute (some if not most would) by adding an optional source (sauce) link field to post forms. Might be nice to have a way the OP/mod could approve a crowd-sourced source edit.

A Response 4 years ago

I completely agree that "what you need to do" sort of comments are less than helpful. Perhaps the GP was edited, but "He'd probably do well" reads as "I would suggest" which is actually meant well to me. The former presupposes what one needs and is unnecessarily authoritative (and I cannot help but assume an air of condescension from using the statement), while the second is simply the suggestion written as kindly as possible (again to me).

I'm glad they wrote it, because it has not been suggested to me that I need to "be challenged if [I] tr[y] using [my] intellect to deflect from sitting with or reflecting upon said emotions". I very much identify with this statement owing to a life of using intellect as a coping mechanism for emotions that I have been told I'm not supposed to feel. I also have work to do.

Edit: typos

Out of curiosity, how _do_ you feel about having worked for a defense contractor and, separately, working for one again? What tradeoffs have you experienced (good and bad) moving from defense to non-defense industry?

I'm personally beginning to think there is a crossroads coming up for me and would value your perspectives if you have time to share. Thanks!

I try to deflect these types of statement with humor when possible. Comments about time are meet with the Gandalf quote, "A wizard is never late, [...] nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to."

"Got a hair cut?" "Nope, I got all of them cut."

I mostly agree, though if I had to choose between the model on which the code was based or the code itself, I'd prefer the model.

While it would be great and preferable to have both, isn't the code just a language/stack/programmer(s) specific interpretation of the underlying model?

Google Keep 12 years ago

Last year?! It's been out for how long? :( I really like it so far and have been wanting something like it for quite a while (I've been using plain text files in dropbox). I feel so... behind or something.

On android, my display jumped around about four times before the pop-up. And then I was done.

I wish responsive ui did not mean draw things as quickly as possible so that you can redraw them later as the user begins to interact. </rant> </sorry>

Yes. We absolutely should. But I personally think the actions by the state (completely ignoring due process and right to trial prior to the acquisition and destruction of a private entity's property) are even more treasonous.

If this is beautiful, I would hate to see ugly. I wish we could take the power of C++ and just start over syntactically with a brand new language.

I love Console2. Be advised that it doesn't play nice with some things (or maybe the other way around?). I downloaded less for windows [1] yesterday and it completely hosed the terminal (changed all the colors and made the window ~10px wide and taller than my resolution).

Thinking back on it I'm not terribly surprised this happened given what Console2 is.

I was thinking that what the students did during the test here was what my classmates and I did for almost every homework assignment. We would work through the engineering problems (sometimes individually/sometimes as a group), go over them, ask/answer questions, and move on. I learned so much doing this (mostly that there is more than one way to perform analysis to arrive at an answer and that engineers love looking up the answer in the back of the book and working backwards).

I wonder if this would be more aligned with how the grading system works as a method by which periodic quizzes are given. We had lone wolves/busy students who couldn't participate, but I think everyone would have benefited from this as a class group activity.

I'm not saying it's without merit, but my blood pressure raises a little every time I hear this argument. It comes across as, "STFU and don't buy if you don't want it!"

When in reality, the original consumer considered this but would rather pursue a more active response than to sulkily and more important silently use something else.

Yes "voting with one's wallet" is certainly an option. But it should not be the sole option as you seem to suggest.

I wouldn't categorize it as a misspelling. It's more of a typo because our brain is so accustomed to telling our fingers to type "and". It's kind of like how I can't remember some of my passwords unless I'm actually typing them.

Yes, I do. Too many times I've worked with programmers that were pushovers to inane edicts from management, whereas if just a few had said, "I see what you're trying to do, can we accomplish this in a more efficient manner by ..."

Because I didn't see a better place to comment and I value your response:

When should it be considered acceptable for a victim to mimic their aggressor's behavior (especially when it is similar behavior that caused the victimization to begin with)?

Disclaimer: I'm trying to understand and not support to any of the GP comments.

I'm one of them as well. I'd also love to use git. The issue I have we it is that I feel like the "port" to Windows was more of a crowbar sort of operation rather than a well thought out plan to make a program cross-platform compatible.

Install TortoiseSVN. Done.

Install TortoiseHg. Oh it needs something else. What's it called? Ok. I need msysGit. I'll get that. Ok, they're all in beta? Whatever I'll just get one. What? It runs on top of Cywin? And on, and on...

Am I missing something here or is it really that convoluted? I work with non-programmers (engineering types) who program and I need it to be easy for them. Any recommendations?

I wonder if Facebook uses only photos where the tag area doesn't overlap. Many of my friends will tag the same person as themselves and their spouse so that person will see the picture. They use the tag system as pure notification.

I could see myself getting the answer wrong in this instance even though I know who the person is.
