I’ve used vim, and I didn’t like it. That is the definition of an opinion.

Seems like I struck a chord. I get this same response anytime vim comes up in a thread. Its almost as bad as the linux gatekeeping. Apparently I’m not allowed to have an opinion that differs from the group.

How is this a lazy argument? Most people dont use Fortran, Cobol, or Assembly anymore for the same reason. There are better alternatives out there.

Because they grew up with it? I cant think of any other reason. I used it in college for a class bcz my old as fuck professor required it. Its obtuse, old, and doesn’t have a lot of functionality of modern code editors.

The only people who want to use it are people who started with it decades ago, or people who were forced to use it, and now think they’re superior somehow to everyone else who doesn’t use it.

This is the one case where I think the trickledown effect works like a charm

Uhm, what were we talking about again?

Yes, BUT, I will forget, so again, I better do it right now…oh, but first, I wonder whats on social media. I should check, just real quick. Then im gonna hyperfocus on this task I would otherwise forget.

I’m surprised, looked up the address. He lives in a 3 bedroom house built in 1989, pretty modest house. i always expect these people to live lavishly for no reason.

The Roman telescope will likely get shoved in storage. I work on it right now, we are talking internally about what this means. Obviously, I have no more information than you do, but the cuts are severe enough that there’s no way we will be able to keep working on it at the current levels if this goes through.

Oh no, I get why they don’t know what one is. It just makes teaching coding to them very difficult.

Bcz people don’t actually understand that ADHD is a debilitating condition that I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy. (I don’t have any enemies tho bcz I’m an adult :P)

And now the kids don’t know what a file path is anymore. Legit my wife is a professor, and she gets adeer in the headlight look when she is helping students debug code and she mentions a file path not being right in there code.

Serious response, no joke… what’s a file path?

These are sophomores and Juniors in college.

Final fantasy 7, Donkey Kong 64, Goldeneye 007, Final Fantasy 10, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1, Digimon World all bring a nostalgia factor. But probably, final fantasy 7 brings the most nostalgia. I have played that game again every 3-4 years since I was 12.

Is there nowhere on the internet I can go without an explicit reference to U.S. politics?

WW3 incoming with U.S. on the side of the baddies in 3, 2, 1.

That’s not a clone, thats an imposter!

Drug holidays sound fun until you realize what it actually is.

Isn’t this the same guy who had multiple scandals? Sexual harassment, covid 19 nursing home crap, ethics scandals? Same dude right, and suddenly he’s cool again?what gives…

I do things bcz it turns out to be interesting, and also bcz it was a small very unnecessary and super not noticeable by any user. So, naturally, I spent 3 days working on it and perfecting it.

Yeah, and? Your point…? So I have a debilitating habit. So, what, my boss hasn’t notice yet. In fact, it probably helps me at my job, maybe, kinda, actually no. Fuck you, I don’t like this. Get out of my house!
