“Old”. This was after I started reading it.
At the same time, it’s about 1200 strips before the latest, which is like 7 years ago? But still not even halfway back, not quite.
Man, he’s been around since forever.
Yeah same, I’ve been reading them all again and I didn’t check when it was originally posted but it seemed far enough from today to count as old!

7 years ago is just 2016

Why did you have to say that?! RIP Robin Williams :(

Yeah man, loads of good people died in 2016, it was a whole thing.

I am not a programmer, but on 2 occasions I was able to improperly fix (1 argument in 1 line stuff) very small bugs without really understanding how. I’ve also made a number converter (dec-bin-hex) at least twice. I know those aren’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice twice.
I’d say there’s an issue here with language design having major tradeoffs, but maybe it’s just a paradox*? Though I have found a language I like (even though I’m not learning it because other issues), so I know it’s not impossible at least.
*= Like the people who could make something with less tradeoffs don’t have the need/desire to do that, they just use the existing stuff. Though that is much more fitting for visual programming.

Wtf is this bullshit. When tf did vim start allowing you to do the same thing in more than one way
- FiskFisk33 ( @FiskFisk33@startrek.website ) 1•7 months ago
hmm, when was vim invented?..
- jeremyparker ( @jeremyparker@programming.dev ) 1•7 months ago
Vim wasn’t invented, it spawned fully written and tested at the moment creation came into existence
That’s why vi is already installed on every Linux system
- FiskFisk33 ( @FiskFisk33@startrek.website ) 1•7 months ago
of course!
no but i bet configurability was an early fearure

Why linking to a page that contains an image instead of posting the image with the source?
- mox ( @mox@lemmy.sdf.org ) 48•7 months ago
Linking an xkcd image directly would strip out the hover text, which is part of the comic.

How do you get the hover text on mobile?
- mox ( @mox@lemmy.sdf.org ) 17•7 months ago
Some browsers show it when you long press the image. For the others, you can edit the URL to m.xkcd.com

Here’s the hover text for this one:
Learning arcane bullshit from the 80s can break your computer, but if you’re willing to wade through arcane bullshit from programmers in the 90s and 2000s, you can break everyone else’s computers, too.
- ElTacoEsMiPastor ( @toototabon@lemmy.ml ) 4•7 months ago
is this common for xkcd? because then I’ve been missing a whole layer of all the comics I’ve stumbled upon.
Oh boy, every xkcd (maybe except the first hundred?) has alt-text, time for you to read them all again!
- Celestus ( @Celestus@lemm.ee ) English8•7 months ago
Linking to the page is the best way to share an xkcd
My lemmy client shows the full image anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Summit, it’s pretty good
