@eternallyAlone If you want free private repos on GitHub you can look up GitHub Education Pack (or something like that) where they offer free private repos for students.

Well, Edge is not exactly awesome, but I can't really condemn them considering the fact that Google advertises Chrome on almost every Google page via that pop-up in the top right (unless you are using Chrome, of course).

It's kind of ironic that the very reason that button combination is designed the way it is is so you won't press it by mistake.

> inb4 "MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH" really is very helpful to people whining about Windows

On the same note, it would be so much better if we banned olives because I don't like them so it must be that no one does, why do they even exist at this point

@linuxxx I might sorry about that if I could refrain myself from using Microsoft, Google or Facebook services, but since I can't really do that (as in I don't have the determination), I get tracked quite a lot even if I use an open OS 😅 yes, I am weak.

@xsacha The fprintd point probably is true, but I saw that VMware had an actual bug that prevented it from working on Fedora without manual patching. Maybe others who know Linux better can get it working, but I won't bother. In this way, the time I save from the builds just ends up being consumed by the configuration. Maybe I am a bit biased, since I have not had problems with Windows drivers, like many people seem to have, but eh.

@linuxxx Well, we might just classify this as users of those OSs having different values. I, for one, might care more about my productivity than using open software (I might be able to live with VirtualBox, but Skype for Business is a bitch), while you seem contempt with sacrificing a little of your time in order to have an open OS while staying productive. So, point being, I try not to try to make anyone switch, and in my dream world, nobody would. It just boils down to productivity. If you are more productive using Linux (in your Arduino example, for instance), then just dive straight ahead and do your thing, I say.

Sorry, took me a while to write it

... have to sacrifice that time in the first place. At a later point, after several OS changes, I have decided to try Fedora, since I have not tried any RHEL-based distro so far. Fingerprint login worked flawlessly with out of the box support, but then VMware wouldn't work. Never got that one working. So, point being, I don't have any problems with Linux (I quite like it, in fact), but I can't stand people saying it is the best OS for development without justification.
#endregion comment-rant

I'm not sure whether this fits the rant narrative or not, but hey, might as well jump in. I am a Windows user, but my recent dev environment doesn't block me into an OS (mostly Node stuff - major change from what I used to do), and I have met some people telling me that Linux is better for development of any kind (any kind that can be done on Linux, obviously - I don't think anybody argues over developing Windows Forms programs in Linux (if you use Windows Forms in new software in 2017 you deserve a special place in hell anyway)), and that just doesn't fit right with me. Since I have all the tooling I need in any platform (basically Node.js, VS Code and Chrome), I have to look at other sides of the OS to figure out whether I am more productive, and Linux has not been as string of a point for me (very appealing, nonetheless). So, first example, logging in via fingerprint in Ubuntu. Never got fprintd working properly - I properly could have with the necessary time, but why should I ...

@Jifuna well, the Angular 5 beta just launched last week, so it's even faster than one might think 😅

Maybe ngx-translate will fit you better. It's not as fully featured as the default i18n, but you can change the language dynamically.

@SSDD when half of the string functions have an underline in between the subject and the verb and the others don't you know something is inconsistent in the language.

Because if you get much clearer phone calls, why wouldn't you want it

Well, depending on the phone model, they could be referring to HSDPA, which some phones show as 4G, and while it's true it's worlds ahead of EDGE, it's not as fast as LTE (I think it's 21Mbps or something along those lines)

@allanx2000 Yeah, I checked after I wrote that comment (smart me) and they don't, indeed. Sorry about that.

...Visual Studio has a DVD ISO available.

2 hours? That's insane. I installed it on a Pentium laptop with 2GB RAM and it took something close to 15 minutes

@GurpreetSK95 For me it's the lack of Storyboard (layout) files that kills it. Although it's pathetic that Apple's in-house IDE (Xcode) cannot refactor things in its in-house language (Swift)

@kscript Please tell me how it is compared to Angular. I refuse to use React because of its ToS, but I'm curious whether people generally consider it better or worse.

I said this once... Then I wanted to use my fingerprint scanner to log on...

...
CenterHorizontally="True"
CenterVertically="True"
...
Or even easier if you also take mobile (Android in this case) in consideration:
android:centerInParent=true

Match that in two lines, I dare you.

@galkowskit Please tell me why. Not sarcastic, just curious, because when I installed Node.js and mom on Windows it worked fine, but on macOS (don't remember if it was the same with Linux), I had to wiggle a lot with permissions. Certainly not plug and play with Node.

@KelperKeeper Replace Windows with Linux and there are just as many valid arguments in your comment. Zero.

Man, openiBoot was the s**t. Too bad no real bootrom exploits have been publisbed since limera1n

No 64bit version 😧

https://github.com/Microsoft/...

They done some f'ed up shit. Take for example onFocusChanged: you had the boolean hasFocus as an argument, guess what that boolean meant. But no, it was too intuitive, so they changed it to b. It is named b. God.

Everybody's Windows computers around here go like "major update screen, since that's the screen used for major updates", like, daily. Is software evolving really THAT fast?
