I guess it could be construed as racist when it’s literally “master/slave”. But I have never seen it as a normalization of slavery because there usually is no value attached to the terms, it’s just describing the relation between them. And I don’t think acknowledging that a slave generally doesn’t have much say in doing what their master tells them is racist in itself or endorsing/normalizing slavery.

But also, I am white, and there are other terms we can use that can describe this kind of relation just fine, so, whatever. I just get mildly annoyed when some stuff that was working perfectly fine gets deprecated just to change these terms and I have to adapt to it.

Wow ok, let’s just act like it wasn’t because I just installed Linux on my new gaming PC 🙄

I have only used it for a little more than a day so far, but I’m already in love with it because it basically required 0 tinkering to get my Nvidia GPU to work, and the few games I have tried have been running almost flawlessly.

Previous commit was some stupid easy fix I didn’t even bother compiling. Well, I should have, because it was the first time in recent memory I committed some code with a missing semicolon…

Before anyone asks : no, we don’t do reviews ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good thing that the existence of a GUI for a program doesn’t prevent you from using its CLI version then !

Preach 🙏

Wifi card. Well, I don’t really use it but it is plugged in.

Basic C++ isn’t really confusing (if you are not handwriting makefiles). It starts to get fucky when you get into memory handling, templates, etc. I’m assuming they are only using C++ over C for basic OOP (class/structs inheritance etc).

This was actually tried btw. Mostly as a joke iirc

Edit: Looking into it, apparently it’s not confirmed. Damn, that was a very popular urban myth in french programming circles back in the 2010’s

Sign me the fuck up, I want to get paid absurd amounts of money to do basic stuff in a language I am already proficient in

Oh, ok.

Wasn’t it also used to stop terminals (I’m talking, old-ass, mainframe terminals here) auto scrolling even before that ?

I usually bind some toggled macros to it (e.g autoclicker). The lil’ light really comes in handy for this use case. I also used it as my “mute” shortcut in various VOIP softwares for a while for the same reason

I always have it setup to stop compilation. Picked that up from using visual studio for many years. I admit it’s been a while since I last compiled something from a terminal

“pause/break” I can understand if you don’t write compiled code I guess (if you don’t know, Ctrl+break usually stops compilation, very handy when you reread your code while compiling and realized you fucked something up), but “home” is remove-tier ??? It’s one of the most useful keys for editing text my dude

As a professional C++ programmer I am compelled to agree

R is more"you are a researcher or an engineer and also a nerd"

We don’t know what will happen? It’ll probably crash? Or worse? How can one not know how a programming language will perform? I felt it was wrong.

If you really want to know you can. Basically in most cases it depends on the compiler. Sometimes the hardware. The point is that you should not expect any specific behavior because the standard doesn’t specify one
