netizento Linux•Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I [OOP] ever ran Linux on2·2 months agoMine was a 386 (AMD IIRC), Slackware 1.0, more than 24h to compile the (0.99pl…) kernel
Nice. Waiting to the first that uses it to run excel in wine
I’ve had that experience myself and I can totally blame Microsoft. I’ve been coding with FoxPro for over a year. In those days you could easily code for hours and save your work only at the end. FoxPro had a well designed dialog that asked you “Save file.ext” with default on Yes
Then Microsoft acquired FoxPro, you couldn’t tell before/after by design, but first MS FoxPro UI change you could find was the dialog was changed to “Quit without saving”.
Nice (at least I’ve only lost a full day of two programmers work)
netizento Privacy•Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store2·10 months agoThat’s to add an “authority”. Done that. But firefox doesn’t find a personal (id) cert signed by that CA (fnmt.es)
netizento Privacy•Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store2·10 months agoI can’t. Firefox on Android doesn’t handle my personal certificate so it’s a hassle to access gov sites

netizento Learn Programming•Is it better to check if a file exists before trying to load it, or to try to load it, and catch the error and move on?English41·11 months agoFile existing and we’re able to read it are two quite different conditions
I’d rather use this one which extends to all screens, but I’ve never used Windows on my systems (excepting Windows 2000 Pro for a year).
You usually should go with the symlinks for a normal usage. There’re marginal use cases where you mount a folder, like modifying permissions, attributes, with not straight to learn tools like bindfs.
You mount a filesystem (container), whereas a folder is something contained in a filesystem (IOW, not a filesystem)
You’re saying that in the U.S. you enter your office on Monday and exit on Tuesday?
If you want/like/enjoy something, do it, don’t listen to others. It’s also OK to learn something but never use it, either for the joy of learning or learning new things and new ways of looking at things.
Perl was my first favorite programming language, I really liked it. my brain could connect with it easily(same thing wasn’t true for other PLs). It even helped me understand other programming languages better.
Pretty much this ^ Besides that, I still miss Perl, I loved it!
My current favorite language is Raku.
I was once also looking while Perl6 was evolving, and somehow liked it, but there was something keeping me out. There were no plans to allow me to use Perl6 the same way I (and everyone) uses Perl5:
$ binaryinterpreter script.pl
netizento Learn Programming•Open Source 'Eclipse Theia IDE' Exits Beta to Challenge Visual Studio Code -- Visual Studio Magazine1·1 year agoMaybe they’ll will hear their users instead of ignoring (reasonable) requests (like a toolbar, or sorting status bar items) that are many years old and have thousands of stars.
You’re young. Young enough to have to google my username meaning. Maybe also google what GIF means: Graphics Interchange Format. Long tima go you could find images on the internet, and they were always GIF, because JPG didn’t exist.
But yes, it’s quite strange nowadays, I agree <grin> Oh, yes, I used the net before smileys were a thing :-)
