Re:Using Vim for C++ Development on Thursday September 03, 2020 @11:30AM (#24364991)
I thought it was obvious...

vim is lighter than qt creator is lighter than node.js + vim

Re:Using Vim for C++ Development on Thursday September 03, 2020 @09:48AM (#24363992)
Yeah, lets take lightweight vim and add a node.js runtime and make a better ide.... sigh

At that point you might as well use QT Creator.

Cursor in virtual space... Emacs doesn't do it right.

And if SDGE did not do an investigation, what consequences would they face from the shrieking hordes of twitter taking offense on other people's behalf?

By now it should be well known that most companies are spineless when facing bad publicity, even of the manufactured variety...

RIP sir and thank you for the art. Once Upon a Time in America and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly have burned a huge amount of my entertainment time.

Since they hid the change to SMR, what else has been hidden?

Leave My Girl Alone by Stevie Ray Vaughan is pretty much a master class for a guitar player that wants to mess around with 3rds and 7ths. At 3:19 is the best example of slightly messing with the 3rd and resolving to the 1 that I can remember hearing. The solos center around bent 3rds, 4ths, b5ths and 7ths.

"Who would think a loon would stand a chance against such a powerful predator?" she wrote."

I dunno... Ask Steve Irwin about stingrays if you see him in the afterlife.

Sometimes, feces occurs.

OK... How would I find out from Google why they deleted original content written by me and stored in my account?

How do I effectively appeal the action?

The first time I saw that goofy symantec UI 10 or more years ago I named it the clownterface...

And quickly uninstalled it. A supposed "enterprise" application that makes your whole machine unstable.

Is it named Circle because you'll be running in a circle trying to figure out the error messages?

Well... they can wake up and smell the 90s by spending the cash to have a website. I'll bet that one month of paying grubdash costs more than getting a website up.

Or just complain, like most of the places around me.
