That's pretty cool, although personally I'm not a fan of the things this solves. Comments after statements offer no benefit over simply commenting on a line before or after, except maybe keeping the line count the same. And defining your method like:
func methodName( int x
I prefer to write as:
func methodName(
int x
Seems like the project could use a VSCode version, too.
Honestly the open source office suites are pretty amazing now. It's what put me off Linux initially all those years ago, how Word/Excel just felt way better than LibreOffice, but now even the browser based stuff is on par.
I think it's healthy for them to accrue a decent amount in case donations go away for one reason or another. I looked through that report you linked and I don't know how to make sense of whether or not it's a reasonable amount they've got sitting in the bank, to be honest.
Because nobody really cares about free as in freedom. Speaking in hyperbole, of course, but you step outside of our tech savvy bubble for just a moment and it feels that way very quickly. As far as they're concerned, Facebook is free. Threads is free. Switching from twitter to threads is just switching from one shitty free thing to another free thing that they think will be less shitty. Of course it's less shitty now, they want users. Mastodon? Pleroma? Seems kinda confusing, what's a server? Is FB a big server? Yeah... Free software alternatives have some PR problems to overcome at the moment. Now if there could be a new thing, a killer app, that was free? That would be insane.
Somewhat vague but I think of it as "this doesn't belong here." It seems to be the most fitting - something could not belong because it's irrelevant, or because it's rude, or because nobody wants to see it. All up to interpretation, I suppose, but better that than a hard rule than I either don't feel good about sometimes or that prevents me from downvoting things that probably should be downvoted but don't explicitly break that rule.
How is everyone here indexing and cataloguing 10s of TBs of data???
I have like <8 TB combined probably if you count everything I have on my PC/laptop/cloud storage and I often can't find shit and a bunch of those are full disk compressed backups that I can't even search directly without opening it in a specialized program.
Yeah I dunno I just got it even though I didn't specifically ever look those things up. Just by osmosis I know what assembly looks like and I've heard of keyboard interrupts which... Don't those not exist anymore with USB devices or something?
Didn't recognize this without that massive fucking co
