The OFFICIAL programming thread

I’ve heard of it but I can’t get it to run for some reason. It just doesn’t launch. I’m still learning PowerShell (using it almost daily in fact) which I guess you can automate the same sort of tasks with even if it’s much lower level and more work.

The Secret New Windows Tool Nobody Is Talking About

Cool. MacOS has had that feature since 2005 or something like that.

Yes, but I am not willing to become a communist to have that capability. Better to learn Python and stick with FREEDOM!!!

Programmers are dicks

Someone improved my code by 40,832,277,770%

@Gators1 I probably would have stopped at 15 minutes in Python (the first optimized version) and thought that’s acceptable for a throwaway project and moved on with my life. I can’t imagine running his original code for over a month without stopping to think maybe I could optimize it a little and bring it down to maybe an hour or two instead of waiting all that time for it to finish.

One big improvement we could do in mainframes at a systems/batch level was optimize buffers and blocking factors. Nowadays just stick DCB=blksize=0 and defaults on buffers and done.

Mainframes literally do that with no problem, assuming you don’t jack up basic settings.

Unless I’m gaming, the second I hear the fan spin up I’m in task manager trying to workout what parasite process is stealing my precious CPU cycles and causing CPU utilization to go over 10%. It is invariably some fucking Microsoft feature that I never asked for and never use.

This fucking dialog only gives you the option to turn notifications on or be hassled again in a couple of weeks. Where’s my option for “even if our sun has long since died and the universe is on the cusp of heat death, I don’t want to be asked again to turn notifications on”.

Pushy cunts.
