1 + false ? (I have no idea in which order JS would evaluate things as I rarely have to touch that language much anymore)

I actually got board, got a new HDD, and got linux mint on it. It doesn’t seem to have a bootloader installed and trying to install grub2 hasn’t changed anything. I’m also pretty disappointed in game support. Maybe I’m missing something, but Steam knows it’s on linux and a huge number of games in my library just say they run on windows or windows and mac.
I’ll check it out. Thanks!
One of my goals after moving is to get another HDD and dual-boot as I transition away. I mostly have to figure out gaming and video editing stuff. I will also probably run WINE just for notepad++ because I can’t quit it with the textfx tools (so far as I know, the linux clone was abandoned, sadly).
Same. I work primarily in Go and a little bit of Rust these days, but I still throw together a Perl script every year or two to automate something without needing to install something else on the machine or whatnot.
There was an old bug up through at least XP (maybe gone by SP3, but I don’t remember) where there would be certain SSIDs or network names that incremented because of how networking was implemented. I’m doubtful it’s the same thing, but you could try searching there for a start.
That’s a problem with no coding standards, peer review, etc.

Ah, unclear on my part. I do use vscode on Mac, but still want a text editor to do other stuff.
“perl was probably useful once”?!
I’m willing to bet a TON of medical and banking data is still making its way through perl today. (I’m not necessarily saying this is a good thing, but I have years of experience in healthcare IT).
I don’t use JetBrains because it’s not free, I mainly use VSCode since it is and works fine, but I would use np++ after that. I spent years working in np++.
I played with linux in the early '90s, but mostly got started on GenToo Linux years ago and they had people installing Nano when building from the ground up. I grew to like that and never really learned VIM. I did use emacs every now and again, but all of those have lots of unwieldy key combinations that require memorization and don’t work like a lot of other programs people coming from, for instance, Windows would be at all familiar with. The barrier to entry was too high to bother with so it was wine and np++ since I was also still using Windows for work.
I’ve been forced to use a Mac for work for the last almost-year and still can’t find anything as good as np++. BBCode is as close as I can get and I’m still not really a fan.
Writing code is for chumps, and the more code you right, the more of a chump you are.
So you’re the one in there wronging up my code?
Write smaller units. Test those units. Save time.
I am technically, but I almost never turn on my second (vertical) monitor. Usually when I have my main set to a different source and I want something from my desktop PC on the other monitor.

Yeah, I get tons of random messages from people I don’t know. A couple are recruiters who are finding my number on my CV, but most are just “hi sweety, do you have time to talk?” from random numbers all over the world.
No one I know is going to change to those. LINE also has other business stuff built in for interacting with companies (customer service for my massage place, my dentist, etc.) In an ideal world, sure, but it isn’t going to happen.
Really? I’ve gotten almost no spam in the last decade or so I’ve been using it. The one time I did, I think the account had been hacked.
I mean, LOAF was a thing (Linux on a Floppy) that had basic functionality even as most distros were downloaded or on CD. I can’t imagine anyone still develops it, though.
