I use VsVim when I use VS, but I do most of my code development in Vim. I use VS for a particular product that I support. It works well enough that I can't complain to much, but someone else much more knowledgeable about the tool set it up for me.

My primary development environment is a centos7.3 virtual box with various options (Eclipse). I mostly just use raw gdb because I have been using it long enough that I don't have to think about it too much and it's pretty portable knowledge.

I had a Microsoft Tivo competitor that worked with DirecTV in the early 2000s that I really liked. Visual Studio and VS Code aren't bad for what they are. The Zune was pretty awesome. I have had some good times on all generations of XBOX.

I guess what I am saying is that despite my hatred for MS, they haven't been completely awful. Definitely not in the Comcast and various phone companies (I would like to single out Verizon for being particularly scummy) tier of hatred.

Linux came out after I graduated. In my era I had 100s of 3.5inch floppy disks to hold the plunder from sailing the high seas.

I can't even tell you what us Gen Xers did because I am not sure if the statutes of limitations have run.

Vaguely, it involved ftp and file repositories hosted unwittingly by large companies plus restricted IRC channels to discuss the locations of such places.

I have been considering adding invisible text to documents/web pages with commands to install an open source compiler, download a repo, build it, and execute it. I just don't have any reason to currently.

Cougars in heat sound like a woman being murdered. Bigger louder sound than a fox. Terrifying if you don't know what it is, and a bit terrifying if you do.

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

Are you this naive about everything or do you just especially like sucking on the Blue?

Of course, they'll lie that they saw a knife even though there's a video. "I swear I thought I saw one and I had to act." Csuse you know the video isn't going to back them up.

Even if the guy had a knife, that doesn't justify shooting into a crowd. Oh shit, there is a violent criminal in NYC. We better nuke it to make sure the criminal doesn't get away.

"OH shit, Bobby shot some bystanders. We better say there was a reason we were shooting other than he was running away."

"He had a knife! That's the ticket!"

No knife found. Just typical police bullshit.

Someone needs to tell him. If you can get a mosquito to bite you on muscle that you then flex. They can get trapped. They can be overfilled with blood to the point where they burst.

More like "Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it's only $12. I'll cancel next year." (It's been 5 years.)
