Back when Nginx started, Apache was the only alternative and a big pain in the ass. That’s how it became popular.

This game was released 10 years after git, and we already had backups since the 80s. Why are they lying?

The staging area changed the way I work for the better. When I develop something, a file can be at the same time “not modified yet,” in progress where I can carefully accept or reject the modifications, and partially done when the parts have been confirmed and added to the staging area.

Once nothing is “in progress” anymore, I know that my future commit is almost perfect and I can quickly review my stuff before committing. It’s faster and more safe than other tools.

CMake does that…

Looks like CyberChef, can anyone confirm which one is better? CyberChef is a standalone HTML page IIRC.

I would have agreed a long time ago, but I wouldn’t force anyone to switch to an OS filled with ads, telemetry, or mandatory hacks and registry keys modifications to be usable (Windows 10 and 11).

Edit: I forgot the requirement to have a Microsoft account which is the cherry on top.

Not Linux but an old Mac OS X on a Mac Mini a long time ago, it lasted 5 years. Then Linux Mint that lasted 5 years too. Maybe controversial but most people only need LibreOffice and Firefox, so anything as easy as Ubuntu or macOS is enough (if you have a free Mac for macOS).

They switched to Windows 10 or 11 because they didn’t listen to my opinion and now they suffer more than ever, and they even got a subscription for an antivirus.

It’s funny because in 10 years (Mac and Linux) I had no support to do, and now that they switched to Windows, it’s broken all the time.

FLAC is supposed to be way smaller: https://hbfs.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/looking-at-flac-compression-ratios/

I use Opus at 192 kbps. It’s overkill but it should be almost perfect and has the size of an MP4.

Sublime Merge is the best. Not easy but I’ve tried them all.

Coming from SVN and Mercurial where commits are increasing integers, I thought the SHA-1 stuff would be a PITA. It’s not and no one cares about numbers anymore.

In 20 years of using Python, I never had one issue with the indentation. Use spaces all the time, use PyCharm, and that’s it.

Whitespace is statistically insignificant in Python.

it’s good but it’s wrong

That’s impossible.

Sounds like science fiction. No proof that it’s useful right now except copy pasta from StackOverflow.

Templates can now be defined somewhere else. It’s a small improvement that no one uses.

I’m also curious to know why. I’ve used SVN for years, and I got the biggest relief when git or Mercurial appeared.
