Man I love that old Atari art.
Man I love that old Atari art.
Isn’t that first artwork from the Atari BASIC book cover? I suffered enough with BASIC on my TI-99 and IBM XT, I can’t imagine how rough the Atari version was.
I feel like this error message was targeted at a very specific, very annoying user that can’t be ignored.
It’s too early to be attacking me, Lemmy. My feet are burning from all that boilerplate.
I took the survey and I didn’t like how they occasionally put all shitty features in a group and I had to pick one I wanted and then followed it with all good stuff in a group and I had to say I didn’t want one.
It is exactly that. Some people really like them, others do not (me included). You usually need to go a little out of your way to get a font that supports ligatures for your editor.
I know a guy that did exactly this. I am living vicariously through him.
For real, how is it that Brother makes the only printer that everything from my phone to my servers can use without problems. Bonus points for not gouging on toner.
I feel personally attacked by this post!
I’m in this exact situation now and have been for many years, while previously in a gigantic company…
Pros:
You (hopefully) tend to have significantly more influence on the tech stack and software direction.
You're (hopefully) treated like a real person and not a cog in the corporate machine.
You (hopefully) get to learn and do a larger variety of things.
Cons:
Pay can be lower, and getting raises can be harder when you're talking directly to the CEO/Owner and it is quite literally coming out of his or her pocket.
Taking leave tends to be harder when there is so few people to pick up the slack.
I feel personally attacked by this meme.
All of the above, and I ran into some bugs in Datagrip that when I reported them I was blown off and gaslit in the response. The response to the bug report was something like “No one does things like this, and even if they did it isn’t important” MF, I DO IT, and it was important enough for me to report the bug! That was enough for me to not renew our licenses for our team when it was time to re-up.
I must be the only one that actively dislikes Jetbrains products.
No to derail anything, but the cusp of X and Millenials (77-83) is commonly referred to as a micro-generation in itself (Xennials).
I just got a laptop with 64GB of DDR5 ram for $870 or so from HP, so I wouldn’t take these specific examples you found as gospel.
Turbo Pascal was great and a big step up over what you could do with BASIC. Good luck with C++.
