What’s worse is that YouTube sometimes doesn’t do that, i.e. when you hit back it shows the same list from the cache or something. It gives you hope and makes it worse on those occasions when it does fully refresh on back.

It’s the same story in US and Canada. Illegal, but not really enforced. And when it is enforced the the penalties aren’t strong enough to be a deterrent.

It’s against FTC regulations in the US too. The trick is getting them to enforce it.

As long as it continues to be sold on store shelves, it’s modern enough to count.

I can’t see the name Crash and not think of the 1996 movie with James Spader. Which is weird as fuck.

It’s a fork bomb. It exponentially forks processes in the background in an attempt to consume all CPU cycles.

I had a similar problem with one of my displays going wibbly like that every time I rebooted during POST and system boot. Only going back to normal once X started.

When I checked my monitor’s display settings when it was wonky, I found that it had the refresh rate set to 14hz and really strange resolution. Turns out it was the display port cable. Replacing that fixed it right up.

To be fair, so is Christopher Lloyd. Just a different sort of cartoon.

I don’t know what that is, but it feels to me like it might be a fork bomb.

Edit: Yep, fork bomb.

Rofi is a good alternative to dmenu as well.

In every dev job I’ve ever held it’s been me or one of the other devs doing demos (usually me though). Granted I haven’t worked on anything truly high profile that a demo would be An Event.

All the benefits of their Visual Studio add-in, Resharper, are built-in to Rider.

And it’s faster because they don’t have to work within the restrictions placed on VS plugins.

Several years ago I had a significant hardware failure and was without a PC for longer than I care to admit. When I finally rebuilt it, Windows wouldn’t activate. So I nuked it and haven’t looked back. It’s not the first time I installed Linux. But it has been my daily driver since. Now I only use Windows for work, and Linux even there whenever I can (which isn’t often, but sometimes anyway.)

But the constant criticism of these new users posting in this community makes for a pretty unwelcoming community. If we want Linux’s market share to grow and become more relevant to the average user, and we really should, then we need to be a welcoming community that encourages new users. Not a community that is hostile to new users. The good news is that it seems the majority of users here aren’t complaining. But the complaint posts have been increasing it seems, and I’d personally like to see that stop.

Instead of complaining, if you don’t like a post downvote and move on.

Oh look, yet another fucking post complaining about new users posting about their experiences switching to Linux. This should be a welcoming community welcoming to all Linux users new and old.

Personally, I’m finding all of these complaining posts to be far more irritating.

His channel really went to shit over the past few years.

If i3 was a bit too involved for you but you generally like the idea of a tiling window manager you might prefer AwesomeWM.

That’s really only native compiled languages. Many popular languages, such as C#, Java, etc. Lie somewhere in between. They get compiled to intermediary byte code and only go native as the very final step when running. They run in a runtime environment that handles that final step to execute the code natively. For .NET languages that’s the CLR (Common Language Runtime).

For .Net the process goes like this:

• You write the code
• Code is compiled to MSIL
• At runtime when the MSIL is executing a JIT (just-in-time) compiler translates the MSIL into native code.
• The native code is executed.

Java has a similar process that runs on the JVM. This includes many, many languages that run on the JVM.

JavaScript in the browser goes through a similar process these days without the intermediary byte code. Correction, JS in modern browsers also follow this process almost exactly. a JIT compiler compiles to bytecode which is then executed by the browser’s JS engine. Historically JS has been entirely interpreted but that’s no longer the case. Pure interpreted languages are pretty few and far between. Most we think of as interpreted are actually compiled, but transparently as far as the dev is concerned.

Last, but certainly not least, Python is also a compiled language, it’s just usually transparent to the developer. When you execute a python program, the python compiler also produces an intermediary bytecode that is then executed by the python runtime.

All that being said, I welcome any corrections or clarifications to what I’ve written.

I’m currently using KDE Plasma with i3. I like it fine. I love i3, and KDE works to tie everything together and add consistency for theming. Previously I was using i3 on XFCE, that was easier to set up. Plasma tends to require special configuration to make it play nice with i3, but once you’re over that hump it makes for a pretty decent combination.
