Hard agree. This is why rust is getting so much attention, and the c/c++ crowd are so mad. They’re happy just blaming it on a “skill issue” while losing their shit over [the rust crowd] saying “how about we don’t let you in the first place.”
That’s just it, these extensions themselves refuse to run if the fork doesn’t say it is vs code. You’d have to build it yourself to report compliant information to the extension, or build the extension yourself to not check. Both of which are not trivial.
It helps keep the more caustic linuxers away from lemmy.
Let’s be honest: nearly all of them now are windowslike girly distros…
Slackware: because I’m old and arch is too trendy.
They never left PC, PC left them.
Yes, but 2>&1 > /dev/null is the real hero.
I don’t miss them either, but they were necessary in moving our portable devices forward. Everyone and their best friend was making bigger and faster laptops. No one was making power efficient and light ones. Netbooks filled that need. And cost less than a macbook air by a large margin.
I used an Acer one with an atom as a mobile terminal for six years before the battery gave up on me. I was getting a day’s work out of a device I could fit in my (oversized) back pockets. And since it was just an SSH device, the speed didn’t matter.
Maybe, but I’d still rather buy from steam than any of the other stores right now. Steam at least makes an effort to look like they have your back.
No, but a “company” in China has far less autonomy from the government in China than one in the US. For some people, that can be stressful
But 0x80 is how you’d normally express 128 as hex. So it’s relevant. But deliberately confusing.
And hopefully you never will
It was IBM’s binary to character transform. DB2 can still use it if you configure it to do so. Or was at least as of the version from 1998 that I had to replace.
Lemmy’s own Poem for your Sprog.
I would have pegged EBCDIC for that, but ok
I sincerely hope that if they come up with a 128bit instruction set they call it “x80” to maintain backwards compatibility with previous set names and be deliberately confusing to everyone.
I dunno, wlxaa392a001f7d has a nice ring to it
