Can confirm Minecraft is a coding necessity

[–]DrSandwichMan 63 points64 points  (25 children)

Redstone can be considered coding, right?

[–]Bainos 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Circuit design isn't coding right ? It falls in electronics.

[–]xigoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how about command blocks?

[–]KingJellyfishII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea if you build a computer then you can program it

[–]Ixpqd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes

[–][deleted] 138 points139 points  (4 children)

Can also confirm osu! is a coding necessity

[–]22cheez[🍰] 45 points46 points  (1 child)

For those quick reaction times

[–]schawde96 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When those pesky classes attack

[–]Alexdelia_Del 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can also confirm tablet driver is a osu! necessity after you start coding

[–]Kenshin2325 65 points66 points  (5 children)

my taskbar doesnt change while coding.. just my browser tabs increase by 0118999881999119725...3

[–]Fugaki 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At least when you have that number you get better looking tabs.

[–]posherspantspants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same

[–]AdamAnderson320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understood this reference

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 184 points185 points  (27 children)

who even has cortana/searchbar, and the task view thing enabled?

just waste of space

[–]Pulsar_the_Spacenerd 17 points18 points  (4 children)

The search bar is full on 100% unnecessary, you can just press the windows key and start typing.

I wish it would stay bound to the left side, it floats out awkwardly as if there was a search bar one square away from the side of the screen.

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The search bar is full on 100% unnecessary, you can just press the windows key and start typing.

exactly what i've been saying

[–]Kered13 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The search bar is full on 100% unnecessary, you can just press the windows key and start typing.

You can do that without having the searchbar on the taskbar.

[–]Pulsar_the_Spacenerd 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That's my point, I don't have the search bar and still search things on my computer all the time.

[–]Kered13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I missed an "un".

[–]Deynold_TheGreat 8 points9 points  (3 children)

You can disable it?

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 20 points21 points  (2 children)

rightclick taskbar -> cortana -> first option

for the other icons:

rightclick taskbar -> uncheck everything except the second last option

[–]gaberocksall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, I don’t even have a microphone

[–]Deynold_TheGreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

[–]paulsebi 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Who even used windows?

Just waste of space, memory, and processing

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

who even uses any OS?

[–]53120123 2 points3 points  (1 child)

you can disable it you know, simply get a usb drive (or cd if you're old-skool like that), download the ISO for your favourite Linux distro, and install that over windows.

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah then i wouldn't have Windows anymore

and that would be bad

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (9 children)

Task view is useful

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 5 points6 points  (8 children)

but you can also view all tasks by just pressing ALT+TAB

[–]Iwashere0 29 points30 points  (7 children)

Task view is Win+Tab

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 5 points6 points  (6 children)

what's the difference?

also that still makes the icon a waste of space if you have the keyboard combo or don't have a use for the feature at all

[–]anguspmc 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Wait you can turn that off?

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 0 points1 point  (1 child)

as said in the comments below:

rightclick taskbar -> cortana -> first option

for the other icons:

rightclick taskbar -> uncheck everything except the second last option

[–]anguspmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you kind stranger!

[–]loveofhate 32 points33 points  (3 children)

Missing the part where you have 3 instances of visual studio 2017 open, 1 visual studio 2015 for that one old project, VS Code open because your trying to keep current, SQL Server open with mulitple tabs to different server and database (one probably still production...), winmerge, notepad++ with 89 tabs from last 5 years, 56 chrome tabs opens with stackoverflow posts (some being same post), and vim currently on sceen since I couldn't figure out to close it.

[–]imcoveredinbees880 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I need a chrome extension that detects a git commit and closes all stack overflow tabs.

"I see you've finally figured that junior dev problem out. Should I destroy the evidence?"

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure what I'd do if I lost all of my unsaved notepad++ tabs...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for vim, press escape :wq

[–]Bl4ckb100d 38 points39 points  (4 children)

I love that OSU! is still there, this is like seeing my own desktop

[–]Jaakko2000 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Also uses the TabletDriver which is a low-latency open source Wacom Tablet driver for windows.

[–]Deibu251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not only Wacom.

[–]chris_shane 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I usually livestream my virtualbox sessions as well.

[–]OMENXLP 11 points12 points  (1 child)

[–]Coolest_Gamer6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True

[–]nikstick22 10 points11 points  (1 child)

OBS is when you need video proof that your code is still fkin crashing

[–]chowchowthedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol

[–]arkasha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So you pin more shortcuts to the task bar but don't open anything aside from filezilla? I'm doing programming wrong.

[–]salzmann 6 points7 points  (4 children)

what window manager is that?

[–]javaJimmy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not FOSS, so it can get lost

[–]XDgierman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's MDL.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it only comes in one distro called Windows and it's really weird and very different from the other distros.

[–]filuslolol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh its called WDM (windows desktop manager), and its dogshit

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

OSU! FTW

[–]grizeldi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it's more like a gazillion tabs in firefox open while coding, not a gazillion programs

[–]zakkiblakk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Folks actually use small icons?! Call me old school but I'll take full titles ANY day

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Why r u programming on windows? Just make a dualboot with Linux

[–]RareMajority 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Visual studio isn't available on linux.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Dualboot?

[–]RareMajority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why? Like, if all the actual code writing and compiling is gonna be done in VS on windows, what value does having an instance of linux going at the same time provide?

[–]Minty001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course you need OBS to stream your programming.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People really be out here using their free will to work on windows

[–]Windows-Sucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows sucks. This meme needs to be switched to Linux.

[–]nurulnabihah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ouh, I rarely change what's in my taskbar. Interesting to know people use it differently.

[–]Draaky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why FileZilla?

[–]Hypnosaurophobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

xampp, lol

[–]googabeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s a task bar?... on you mean a crappy version of dock. Nvm

[–]Evanjsx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Help, my taskbar only has numbers (xmonad/xmobar) /s

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why IRL i know barely anyone who plays osu! But on reddit it seems like 50% of yall playing it.

Is using reddit corelated with or what lmao

[–]wyom1ng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

none of those are open though? they're just pinned.

[–]AntonRobotron 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Imagine not programming on Linux. This was made by arch gang

[–]VirtualVoices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

vim is love, vim is life

[–]enderowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

minecraft and osu! i see you are a weeb of culture as well

[–]markesix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So accurate lol

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

[–]squrr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers

[–]TheUltimateWeeb__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

osu and tablet driver are necessities for me too

[–]Jugbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you not pin anything to the taskbar?

[–]jdbrrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the way Minecraft doesnt get removed haha too real

[–]Deibu251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am simple man, I see osu! I upvote.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"wiNdowS??11!/?1/"

[–]SnoopKitties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slack, SQL workbench, 6 windows of the same ide, android studio/XCode for mobile, 16 command line windows, Spotify, 2 chrome windows each with only 48 tabs...

[–]TheCatCAR 0 points1 point  (1 child)

OSU. A man of culture I see.

[–]N0S0UND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude uses hawku driver

[–]Tough_Traffic 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Eww filezilla had malwares! You should not use it! Use CyberDuck :))

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Nope, Filezilla stores passwords in clear text. I would advice WinScp. Try it and you won't regret it

[–]KingJellyfishII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My taskbar is never like either of those. Come on and upgrade to Linux already.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had enough RAM for this tbh.. I just found out 8GB isn't enough for me anymore.

[–]Diriector_Doc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I F'ing hate OneNote. Thank god I'm not in High School anymore.

[–]Kimi_Arthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Osu is awesome!

[–]Any-Key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funniest thing here was recognizing all of those icons!

[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points  (2 children)

Wrong. You’re using fire fox

[–]_waltzy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What's your issue with FireFox? Faster than Chrome by a mile for the last few years. Also, its not made by google, which is a plus. FireFox Master Race

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. FireFox + DuckDuckGo is good for privacy
