First they took my Hannah Montana Cursor, but I persevered. Now they take my Cool Cursor. Am I expected to just use the system cursor? How can a man live like this?

I can’t handle Debian; my heart constantly craves shiny new things.

One other factor that also influences Linux’ market share is that a lot of people just don’t use PCs anymore and rely only on smartphones. I assume that Linux users are less likely to stop using PCs completely than Windows Users are (or rather, that people who don’t even get into PCs would have been less likely to become Linux users if they did)

So it’s not just direct conversion from Windows to Linux, but also a higher retention of users somewhat.

Careful, if you push them too much someone might make their own Linux, with Javascript (and hooks).

We’re reaching the point where the real money is in the materials for the tools.

My default suggestion is Uruguay, though I have never lived there myself.

Delphi could do complex GUIs pretty well. That makes me miss it sometimes.

You’d think that, and yet I’ve once worked in a project in a fortune 500 company that basically wouldn’t even compile if we didn’t add comments like that. No kidding the compiler enforced specific comment patterns so if you had a line do x = x + 1, it would not compile if it was not preceded by a comment that started with “Add” and included “1” and “to x”. Even in dev mode if you wanted to just try something you had to comment everything.

The original dev was super proud of this tools that generated HTML documentation about everything based on those comments. And the whole documentation was stuff like:

*price*: The price

A friend of mine used to teach coding decades ago and one story I’ll never forget is about the student who had an assignment that asked for a “for” loop to be used, but they didn’t quite know how to use it so they just wrote a broken loop there and then hid a “while” loop at the far end of the line.

Code compiled, had a “for” loop and had the right output.

Oh right I hadn’t thought of combining it with the IP itself.

Would a fingerprint uniqueness hold up in court?

It kinda feels like saying: “we know the crime was committed by someone who’s this tall with this hair color and this skin color and has this tattoo on the right arm and who speaks these three languages and we have never seen anyone else who matches all of those things so it must be you”

Mario 3, though these days I get tired of it after a World or two and haven’t completed it in a while.

Also Xenogears from the PS1 is still one of my favorite games and I replay it every few years.

How did Pinwheel survive the previous presidents?

At least when I had to create a DSL in a project I gave it a fitting name: Bullscript.

Same, though I’ve started having some issues with their slower updates not catching up to changes on OSs and stuff (using it on an atomic distro for example is quite a pain).

For me it was my older brother (who owned the only computer in the house). He had very strict rules about what I could do on his PC but even then he would only leave his room unlocked once a week at most. This was before I even cared for internet so being offline was no big deal.

When I was 13 I managed to talk my way into doing some chores for a neighborhood PC school in exchange for access to computers whenever there was some free spot in any of their classes. A couple years later they opened a Lan House so I worked there and could finally use PCs all day every day. One more year and I was already teaching programming classes there (well, trying to).

The DS would not be able to connect to OP’s network to begin with.

It’s a little bit of both. It was not rare to see people in their 60s but it was also not an age most people expected to reach.

And it’s specific to slack? Or do you have the same issue when sharing the screen on anything else?
