But what's the point of it all when it's just so SLOW. It takes 5-10 seconds to load,
I got a shitty laptop with no SSD and VS starts in a lot less than 5-10 seconds.

Is anyone else seeing entity fail or is something wrong with my browser? Chrome 36.0.1985.143 m

Yeah, entity fail. For some reason.

When have you ever expected quoting in Discourse to work properly?
-
Me? Never. I expect html entities to work in chrome though.

Load time is slow but for me on Windows it works fine, no lag or anything once its up.

Ok, this linux machine is in VM and doesn't use 3D acceleration. It MIGHT work better outside of VM. But I don't need it there. I program inside VM. So for my use case, it's useless.
-
They do, and Chrome is showing an overly-escaped entity correctly.
-
Just tried in my Debian Virtual Box instance where I do kernel work. No lag.
-
Open the same file in sublime and atom. Drag selection around. On my PC there's a noticeable difference.
Just tried it on Windows. 3D acceleration definitely helps. Unfortunately, with 3D accel, fonts look like shit. Turn it off, and it's back to sluggish display.
IMO they'd really have to give me something special to chose this over sublime.

FOR A FUCKING TEXT EDITOR?!
Fun fact, most Windows apps which use WPF are 100% GPU accelerated. Why make the CPU process boring graphical items like buttons when the GPU can do it in a fraction of the time?
-
Probably needs it for how it does subpixel rendering of text.

ALL WPF apps. They also have a seamless fallback mode if you don't have GPU.
Chrome is doing something similar, but it doesn't seem to be working well in Atom.
-
I explicitly disable hardware rendering in a WPF app at work because there was 30+ second of load time delay because they it was trying to hardware accelerate on 15 year old computers with AGP graphic cards.
-

Maybe because one day you'd want to RDP to a server and edit some files? A text editor is a piece of software that I expect to be lightweight enough to support as wide range of systems as possible.

Ugh. I would probably sneak in a new CPU/mobo if someone tried to make me work on such a piece of crap.
I brought in a video card to my current work PC because it's kind of slow, and I swiped some extra RAM from a couple of machines that aren't in use.

Yea..my company's IT department consists of the production manager(as in physical product production) moonlighting as IT admin (not 100% by choice and he admits its not his thing) and some consultant we have "manage" everything else. By manage, I mean I see him googling answers in the server room and putting together cheapass computers with underrated chinese power supplies that don't last more than a few months.
But he doesn't get to put together his abominations unless we are out of existing abominations. We had a computer running Windows 95 as recently as 5 months ago. I couldn't even update the fucker anymore because it was a liability to have on the network and it only had a floppy disk drive.
-
What the hell was a machine that old being used for?
-
Testing of products being produced. For the most part the apps it was running were VB6 based.
Said products however were errr...definitely not legacy products or old stuff, it was actually recent designs.
-
Jesus Christ on a crutch. I feel for you. Recent designs on VB6? Do you guys have any current FoxPro software on the shelves? ;)
-
Blah I meant.
The computer was testing physical electrical products. Those electrical products were new in design.
The VB6 apps however were still maintained and updated for the new products. Although hackish because only so much you can do in VB6.

Had a phone interview for a company on Thursday, they were talking about using VB6 and VSS. Yeah, might walk away from that opportunity...
-
Good call.
Sadly enough we were called in a while back to assist on a LOB application and as I was looking at the code I could not easily figure out the language. After a bit of Go ogling syntax, I came across it. FoxPro. They wanted it running on Server 2012R2.
The code from that one could give Alex a few years worth of material.
-
I do have to admit that I randomly gave a SQL Design Patterns talk to a FoxPro group at a Denny's a few years ago.
-
It is a language that just won't die. Like PHP's less popular cousin. Even though MS gave it a viking's funeral many years ago, people keep using it.
Luckily I have a guy on my team who in addition to being our Mac guy is also our reigning king of esoteric languages. "Hey Brent, do I have a job for you". He also knows Lotus Notes and IBM databases, in case I ever
decide toget drunk enough to take on some of that clusterfuckery.

ROFL!
Yeah, my company has one big WTF--we use an ancient version of the Wise installer to build our distribution. Problem: the CD has a 16-bit installer (that installs both the 16- and 32-bit versions of the software. (aside: talking about installer installers, and that we use this to build another installer is weird. I feel like there's a "yo dawg i herd you like" joke I can't quite figure out.)) so we can't build our software on 64-bit Windows. I suggested two years ago to get NSIS, but--ok, who hasn't heard this one before--"it's open source, and what do we do if we need support?" Pointing out that we'd do exactly what we'd do now if Wise has a problem doesn't seem to make anyone realize the problem with that question.

Hello, welcome to my hell.
Now excuse me, I have to go track down all the users that started the shared installation of he FoxPro piece of crap and tell them to shut it down so that Windows will allow the custom updater to replace the executable with the new version...
The kicker? That application MIGHT get replaced soon. With one written in VB6.
Also, necro!

Wow! Like phoenix from the ashes. Both @onyx and the thread.

Well, it could be worse, it could be my current dev box.
I normally use a 2011 MacBook Pro for my workhorse. The one with the tendency to have a GPU failure - and this weekend it didn't. In some ways this was something of a final straw emotionally.
Anyway. It's headed into the Apple store on Friday (WTF 1: no SLA less than like 5 days for inoperative machine), and meantime I need something to be doing dev work on. All my stuff currently is WAMP based so I figured I don't need a ton of CPU, just something that would run Windows and it's not prudent for me to be forking out another laptop right now.
So... I borrowed one from my mother to use in the meantime. This is... painful. 2007-era Packard Bell machine that came with Vista and was deemed so painful that someone (likely my stepdad) reinstalled XP on it. Dual core, 1.7GHz Celeron with allegedly 2GB RAM and no drivers beyond the basics... doesn't even have sound on it and I can't find drivers (not for the want of searching)
I am so thankful my normal dev tools for WAMP stuff including things like Notepad++ where they aren't behemoths and that I can do stuff even on this underpowered beast - it would be hell doing it on Atom. (Necro and relevant.)
-
Necro and relevant.
It's not necro if it is only a few days old.

cough — on-a-2007-1.66GHz-Centrino-Duo-2GB-RAM-HP — cough
Maybe it's time I buy another laptop.
-
Yes, maybe it is.
Though I remember the circumstances in which I replaced this one of my mother's... because anything I could get would run Farmville faster.

What does "necrophilia" mean? [spoiler]Never having to say you're sorry.[/spoiler]

What does "necrophilia" mean?
It's from the latin "necro", meaning dead, and the verb "philia", to fill.
EDIT: Why are posts empty?
-
Because Discourse.

It makes reading anything pretty difficult when I have to keep munging the URL in the address bar just to read the raw post.

The question has to be asked: why the daily fuck do we have a term for this? Is it that common?
And, more importantly, does it have to be four friends exactly?
-

I always think of knuckleballs.
-

If you scroll down far enough (why did I even click, much less keep reading?), you get to this, which I think probably explains most of the other definitions:2. Something kids made up to make everybody go "ewww!" and tell their friends at parties.
does it have to be four friends exactly?
You stopped at the first definition. If you read the others, you would know the answer is no.Interestingly, although the range of definitions is very broad — from the utterly disgusting, to bland — but none are even close to the way it's used among computer people.
-

Yes, because that way it was funny! Reading on would run the joke!

I've never seen like physically seen, with my eyeballs you in the same place as anyone else here, ever. Could it be that you are everyone who isn't me?

-
Could be. A wise man once said that all people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged mind...
-
Well, you could develop that into an entire philosophy. Oh wait, someone already did. Welcome to solipsism. Where even he is you.

I cannot accept solipsism. My mind is deranged, to be sure, but I refuse to believe that it is so deranged as to produce this place.
