So all luck and nothing else? Do these people just sit in the grass all day waiting for luck to deliver the money into their laps?

That said, getting rich by working hard if you don't have talent or intelligence will be a lot harder. So I guess you need a bit of all of them.

Talent and intelligence don't help you much if you don't use them to work hard.

Tagging files on Windows is a horrible experience though, sadly.

As someone who was regularly frustrated with the problems you describe, it seems that recently (I think with the 1903 upgrade, but not sure) things have gotten a lot better and I finally feel the start menu is listening to me again.

It's downvoted mostly because bringing up iOS and Android in a discussion about Wacom tablets seems pretty off-topic and whataboutist.

You created a new account just to hate on a programming language? Who did this to you?

On the other hand, I used Thunderbird for almost a decade, then switched to Gmail and never looked back. Mileages vary.

VS Code has Intellisense, an integrated debugger, and much more. What makes it not an IDE?

by efdee 7y ago
Shocked by the downvotes, to be honest.

by efdee 7y ago
Weird to compare an IDE and a text editor, though.
374.
by efdee 7y ago
Of course you can use other IDEs (VS Code, Rider, Monodevelop) and databases (Postgres, Sqlite, Mysql, Oracle). And plenty of people don't use R# either, but I prefer to do so.

Poor naming choice, considering CodeGuru.com has been around for what, decades?

I wouldn't say IntelliJ's stuff looks -good-. It's a lot more workable than most Swing apps but it's still a long way from looking "good". That said I haven't touched their IDEs in 2 years so maybe somethi

Good luck getting that Swing app to look nice, though. Which is a breeze with HTML/CSS.

But the big advantage of using Electron is that you know exactly what browser and Node version you are targetting. That takes away a lot of the cross-browser HTML/CSS pain.

Only 70 and 90. 80 is still 4-20. In French-speaking Belgium, anyways.

Just #winprog on EFnet. Not sure how active it still is nowadays.

I think we got scattered. I'm with a few of them in a channel as well.

I would say that the people who today only consume, and stay on single sites (eg not clicking the links on reddit) would simply not have cared about the internet if it had been the way you suggest. Whether that would be a good or a bad thin

Sure. Most things happening here also happened back in the days. That was not my point though ;-)

by efdee 7y ago
Out of curiosity, what period are you referring to as the "good old days"? Must be prior to, say, 1993-1994? I also remember these days as the days where we had to be very, very nice to other people and play by their rules (univer

But that was apparent from the get-go. Most people just want to consume. In the early years, "going online" already took some effort or knowledge - only as it became gradually easier did the large swathes of consumers join. If you

Sure. And you could find a name like that for pretty much every website in existence in the 90's. I strongly disagree that it's a special case, and I strongly disagree that there are only few websites left that feel like part of a
