Thanks for explaining! I haven’t set foot in a datacenter since probably 2008ish, heh.

Yeah, I had never seen a connector that looks anything like that, but I figured I was just behind the times (since it didn’t look like Ethernet plugged into it to me)

As a programmer, I don’t even know what we’re looking at. A switch, I would guess, but I haven’t seen hardware in years. In any case wouldn’t “port 21 <bottom|top>” been better?

• Rust has safety and efficiency close to C
• Perl is processing most of your healthcare records
• Ada is doing space stuff
• Go is going places

I’ll also generally say ‘none’. I’m generally playing a game to explore its world or be part of its story and having difficulty for the sake of difficulty (which resulted in grinding in old RPGs, for example) is just not welcome.

Since there are no arrows indicating direction, all paths begin at Arch and end with questioning who you are.

(It took me way too long to understand that “ever used linux before?” didn’t have two separate ‘no’ branches)

People should be able to do this, at least for simple programs. We used to do it all the time.

My problem with gimp is that I’ve never really used Photoshop (I may have back in it’s very early versions, but I don’t think so). I mostly just use something like Ms paint to take and crop screenshots or photos. Jumping into gimp (and presumably PS as well) is going to confuse people trying to do that.

I still don’t know how to use gimp just because I never need all that functionality and don’t have time to learn. Maybe someday.

In JS, it’s just NaN if my browser’s console is to be believed. I suspected it would probably be {object} for no clear reason

You didn’t include a version in your query. You also could try using quotes, though this specific entry may not be helped by it (e.g. “in operator”). For most things, you can click a link with the older version and somewhere there is typically a dropdown or something to change the version and, if not, you’ll at least know which section/etc. it is in in the new documentation.

If you don’t include a version, it’s probably going to pull up questions/answers that it finds most match in general and maybe people just aren’t asking that question for your version.

I think there’s a lot to hate about modern search results, but I also think there’s some opportunity to search better. I do miss the days when AND, OR, and NOT operators actually worked all the time and as expected.

Depends. Short options are probably safer if the particular version and flavor of tar are unknown.

The original computers were often women as well.

The last time, something hosed my whole install. I stopped using linux for a while after that. I’m stuck on a mac for work, much to my protestation, and I can’t justify replacing the graphics card on my personal PC at this moment, so I’m mostly just hanging out in Windows (mostly because I do video editing as well and I have issues with Davinci in Linux that may or may not be related to nvidia).

The install part is easy. It’s when some update breaks everything that the madness sets in

That’s really neat, but I don’t think I do that often enough to really make the performance hit of learning a whole new thing and memorizing keyboard shortcuts and commands worth it. I don’t find myself refactoring code a ton, especially after moving to a more TDD-like model.

You can set your default editor (maybe in .bashrc or .bash_profile? I forget), but I’m far too lazy.

As someone who’s been a software developer for over a decade and in IT even longer, I still don’t use vi/vim for anything other than when crontabs have it set as the editor.

I’ve been in IT for a couple decades at this point. I stopped doing almost any swlf-hosted stuff years ago as I just don’t have the time or energy to deal with things. There’s a lot to keep up on with technologies, security, etc. not to mention all the constants of keeping things up-to-date, back-ups, troubleshooting issues, and more

Does links/links2/elinks count?
