I’m a bit confused. I thought “build system” referred to systems like autotools, scons or cmake. How are they related to green checkmarks? Couldn’t one also get green checkmarks when using a build shell script or makefile?
More complex build systems are just build.sh calling other build.sh in different configurations and using different software. It’s build.sh all the way down.
If I break our master build in CI, I get multiple emails and people saying “fix this”!!! I wouldn’t have to fix it if you stopped letting people commit directly to master and stopped using git rebase! 😁
Please ignore everyone else being unkind - I’m somewhat new to build systems in general, what are the advantages/disadvantages of Bazel compared to other build systems?
It’s amazing the hoops people will jump through to deal with Windows’ bullshit but the moment Linux presents the slightest obstacle they write it off as “too hard to use.”
I kind of agree with you but there’s also the issue that when you have a problem with Windows, there are 30 people to tell you, “Here are the hoops, and here’s how to jump through them,” while on Linux there are often only 3-5 people, all telling you, “LOL wipe and replace your whole OS with the distro that I use because I don’t have that specific problem.”
I think it’s the other way around. I often find only one source (if any) for configuring windows, and it’s some registry edit that hasn’t worked for years. On linux, there will be a dozen people providing multiple ways of getting it done, most of which work.
You say that like switching to Linux doesn’t require jumping through a bunch of hoops.
I run both, and Windows is by far the most user friendly (ignoring Apple since they easily win the UI/UX competition). I didn’t have to spend hours getting my gpu to work with Windows or to install on a RAID configuration.
Linux is great if you want to control your system, but most people don’t want to fuck with it.
I didn’t have to spend hours getting my GPU to work on Linux… What were you using exactly, as a distro and as a GPU? Not that I try to invalidate your experience, but afaik, if you have a AMD or Intel GPU, it should work out of the box and if you have an Nvidia GPU, any user friendly Linux distro that is optionally made for gaming have drivers preinstalled and can easily be updated through a GUI or a two words command so that you can directly play as soon as you installed the distro.
Please don’t mix executables and data created by applications, even if the application happens to be a game. Those are supposed to be separate. That being said, “Documents” is obviously the wrong place for save game files.
We’re walking about Windows, here. If 32-bit ever dies on Windows, it will be lovingly stuffed and placed on the mantle like a pet whose owner can’t admit it’s gone.
I keep seeing this sentiment from people who are supposedly savvy with computers. I never have to question where a file was saved to on Windows and I’m not sure why you guys do.
Right? Seems like Linux fanboy propaganda. If you don’t know where your file saves to, you’re probably incompetent and shouldn’t be near a computer. Even the most incompetent of users in my 15 year IT career know how to save something and where it’s saving to.
You’d probably experience it if you were in a OneDrive/sharepoint/teams bla bla bla shop. The AutoSave defaults to On, the default destination is (I think?) the user home folder in OneDrive, and the default Save As does not pop up the system dialog, only your Recents. I feel this meme for sure and I’m a 25-year IT professional. It’s just poorly built user interaction, that someone in the bowels of M$oft thought would be “easier” but it took away most of the visibility and control from the user.
Eh that threw me off when it was new but it’s been a thing for about a decade at this point. My work is all-in on Azure and this has never confused any users as far as I’ve seen, and we’ve got some incredibly ignorant users. Everyone just hits “browse” from that screen and you’re back to the old school save screen.
sometimes i am not sure when like paint that saved the filepath for the pic that was made a few months before. In that case i use save as again to look where it should have put my file and copy the path
Odd, I just tested this and clicking save brought up a window for me, it was not automatically to the last location, and I use the program at least once a month so it’s not my first time running it or anything.
Same here, I’ve never had this problem, ever. I don’t even get how it’s possible to not know where your files are being saved if you are the least bit techsavvy.
Here fucking here. I never don’t have a hard time figuring out where a saved file went on my phone. And every app seems to have it’s own idea of where the best place to put downloaded files should be.
Garden variety low effort meme. haha windows (or windass or windowns or whatever) bad so funiiii lolololololo etc - a few linuxmemes are basically... this.
Not sure what it does in programmer humor though - if you, as a programmer, find yourself in this situation... just git gud?
Yep it's just click top.toolbar see the breadcrumbs....it used to be a problem 15years ago and I still.question the name it uses when I open a file from outlook (why not downloads) but is pretty easy to find again
Windows seems to have irregular behavior in this regard. It usually defaults to the downloads folder. But sometimes it defaults to the last folder I saved a file to.
It might just be windows being buggy or something, but there were a number of time where I hit save and then the file is not where I expected it to be.
I could have prevented the mistake by paying attention first, but windows could also be consistent.
