Oh I’m completely serious. The joke is that everyone does it but everyone knows not to do it. I started doing it when I first ran into problems debugging actor contexts, and never stopped.

The good printlns become logs, obviously

Oh man, I thought that was one of the classic jokes :'( I am out of touch

Wait, how do you debug your code?

Quite. You don’t need an IDE to have a compiler lol

I do, I just use abstractions and metaprogramming layers to do so more efficiently. Sounds like your workflow could use improving

You also need a compiler or interpreter because wtf man you gotta run some stuff during development

I remember being able to play fairly old games with 'run in compatibility mode for ‘98’ or something (a right-click menu item maybe?), so guess we have different recollections there

Microsoft windows has historically had pretty great backwards compatibility compared to macos, android or iOS; and pretty great device compatibility compared to basically everything.

Oh, I installed Arch manually the other day and rather enjoyed the process :'( felt good to be reminded of all the bits and bobs.

TBF I have been accused of being a time-waster on occasion

I is a vowel too but you sure can!

Edit: also I noticed you dropped one ‘y’ but not the others. Is this an accident or some subtlety to do with y’s ‘semi-vowel’ status? To be discussed.

Very pleased to have been of help! I love scala but Java really isn’t too bad (streams API is fine except that you need to explicitly move in and out, rather than getting to do the cool scala thing of just using methods in the phenomenal collections library) and I don’t like dunking on it, but it really does need a few helper libs. Tuples, either and try I think vavr has. Java seems to have covered most other stuff now. But been a half decade since I’ve written more than 10 lines at a time so hasn’t come up for a while. Sorry. Reminiscing. Sunday night blues.

Omg I remember running into something like this about 12 years ago. TTY did help but did need a reboot. I had to arch-chroot off the live usb so many times that night, my first ever Linux installation and I fucked up the bootloader and initial packages so hard so many times. I felt so cool when I was able to switch to another tty without needing yet another usb boot. Thanks for that memory.

idx is the ideal name for an index, change my mind

Do people still use vavr? When I wasn’t allowed to use scala that made up for a fair few shortcomings but it’s probably less relevant than it used to be

No, because the whole point of this meme is to be entirely devoid of nuance. Functional programming is fucking awesome if product is changing its mind every 5 mins, Oop is great if you have a huge number of junior Devs, rust isn’t remotely slow so god knows what bottom right is about, top left probably has more functionality defects than you can shake a stick at but he’s lionised here. Don’t think too hard about it – OP didn’t (also ‘never bashes python or JavaScript’? Absolute weaksauce. Perl and PHP are the ones ppl bash because of entry level dev memes. Embarrassed for op)

Vanishingly few apps work fully offline and they tend to be the ones that don’t send a buttload of requests in the first place.

In my experience.

Brb updating my personal lexicon

Batshit doomerism, you sound like one of those religious nuts expecting the rapture any minute. You don’t have some privileged insight into ‘how bad things are gonna get’ or whatever hypothetical revolution you’ve conjectured, yet you presume to lecture others about it. Please, tell me again about narcissism and what it consists of.
