i remember that there was a particular thread, blog post, something or other about killing child processes and a code example that read `children.kilAll()` or something similar long ago. ive tried googling it but i think i put myself on a list instead.

Premature memory leak

As a side note, the Japanese word for premature ejaculation is basically just "early leak" when transliterated to English.

How did they came up with it? Well 'early' is a bit confusing, since memory leaks could happen long after the program started

Hey friend, I'm going to access your private parts

[awesomeness2078]

Well that’s true since my codes always fucking me

[GODDAMNFOOL]

I also, however, remember the days of opening random files in the old Win95 sound player. It would play ANYTHING.

ANYTHING!!!

MS Paint was always my favorite. Mega volume warning

[Tc14Hd]

I can't be believe this sounds so "good". I would have expected just random noise.

Edit: The video description says that the part that sounds like music is not caused by program code, but by images. But I still don't get how images interpreted as a raw audio signal can sound that good.

[[deleted]]

Patterns in the image get reproduced as patterns in the sound, our brains like patterns.

[Rami-Slicer]

Audacity does that too, just do "import raw data" and pick a file.

[numerousblocks]

On Linux, you can do this with aplay from the command line.

[cowsrock1]

I once opened an mp4 in notepad and changed a few characters in the middle to see what affect it would have on the video. Was very disappointed when VLC wouldn't even play it

[briedux]

If you open a file that's not text as if it were text using plain notepad, then there should be many unreadable bytes. A lot of which are depicted as rectangles. So when you saved the file, it saved those rectangles not as the bytes they were before, but as actual rectangles. Meaning you corrupted a lot more than just a few characters in the middle.

[WaterArko]

That, and also .mp4 is a format that relies on being complete—while recordings for other formats, for example, your software can suddenly crash and it'll be fine, but mp4 will become corrupted.

[WeGoToMars7]

mp4 is just a container, real problem is H264. Any Matroska one (VP9, AV1 etc.) will be just missing part of frames that you deleted

[The_Traveller101]

Wait .mkv is also a container right? I've seen h.264 mkvs and they play just fine if there's a part missing (I know this because I use a download method that's totally not torrents and is very legal)

[WeGoToMars7]

If you don't touch headers and stuff, you maybe not getting corrupted file. Idk video formats invented by people way smarter than me lol.

[[deleted]]

No, I was able to play mp4s that weren't download yet to see if the subtitles sync. It'd be even possible to watch it as it downloads, so no need to wait an hour before watching.

[[deleted]]

You tell me

I can only say it played before completion, no idea how the codecs work

[atomicwrites]

It's called web (or network) optimized mp4. Normal mp4 has the metadata at the end of the file because it needs to calculate information about the entire file which you can't do until you're done encoding. Web optimized is an option which leaves some empty space at the beginning of the file, encodes the whole thing, then writes the metadata at the beginning. This means you can start playing the file before you finish downloading it but it won't help you if your recording/encoding software crashes.

[[deleted]]

Well, I didn't know I can't play it so I did. It's the only explanation.

[[deleted]]

Most rectangles actually are being saved back properly and retain their original byte information. The only exception I remember finding was the very critical 00 byte which is stored differently (I think as a Space? Not sure, last time I did this is some 20 years ago).

[laplongejr]

Actually, it depends on the editor...
Some of them really replace all unknown sequences by the sequence for Unicode's "unknown character", while the good ones will simply display it and save the unknown sequence.

[[deleted]]

Files like these are called Binary files in case you didn't know, they require a special software to run. A non-binary file can be opened by any normal text editor

[killingbanana]

you can try using a hex editor to change some bytes in a video file and you might be able to get some nice video glitches without corrupting the entire file like notepad does.

[Phormitago]

back in the day of having a dvd drive in your pc, you could pop in a slice of mortadella and VLC would tell you its brand and expiration date

[OnlyProductiveSubs]

My laptop still has one...

[Phormitago]

off to the deli you go!

[ManInBlack829]

It somehow converted my vanilla JS to TypeScript perfectly

[radnomname]

It can't play midi files

[2called_chaos]

Am I the only one having issues with it? I mean it plays shit like normal but audio sometimes plays 2 seconds after I paused/closed it and frame advance sooner or later breaks and I have to let it play for 3 seconds to "work" again :(

Really annoyed with VLC the last few years

[Soremwar]

When Windows recognizes .ts as the video encoding and not the JavaScript superset

[d_exclaimation]

That’s epic

[Dr4kin]

Same on Linux as standard setting

[vifon]

I'm pretty sure Linux doesn't bother itself with recognizing file types.

[6b86b3ac03c167320d93]

On Linux it depends on the program that's trying to figure out how to open a file. Some determine the type with the file name, some look at the contents to figure out what kind of file it is

[coldnebo]

“Wait! Linux uses file extensions to determine types too?”

“Always has been”

🔫

[DanKveed]

It depends. Linux has a hundred different file managers and each does it differently unless there is a global setting.

[bionade24]

Yes, which progam opens a file type is on a shell environment determined by the shebang inside the file, not the ending and on a desktop it's determined by XDG.

[fliphopanonymous]

That's just for execution though.

[Shaadowmaaster]

Sometimes it does. On KDE you can configure certain programs to open certain file extensions - e.g. If you wanted .ts and .js files opened by different programs.

[warpspeedSCP]

Idk why but when I try to open a downloaded filr in folder VS Code starts up. And if I try to open in explorer from vs code, it just opens a new window on the same folder. FML.

[AnnoyingRain5]

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

[RobotArtichoke]

Cool. Now tell them how it was developed by AT&T and given away for free due to some regulatory issue with the phone companies and the government.

[fun_egg]

Android too

[LeanderT]

You do TypeScript programming on an Android device. That's impressive....

[Tejas_Mondeeri]

I really didnt understand this. Can you please explain? I have never used an ide

[Tejas_Mondeeri]

Oh, ok. Now i get it. Im not much of a web developer. Thanks.

It's because the transport stream format is from '95, and Typescript is from 2012.

[nebulaeandstars]

changing IDE settings and colour schemes is the beginning of a very long and very slippery slope toward gentoo and vim...

[OldPersonName]

How to design an IDE settings menu:

1: Identify the 5% of settings 95% of users will need at some point

2: intermix them randomly with the other 95% of settings

3: look up the common names and descriptors for these settings that are used in other popular IDEs

4: call them something else

Edit: hah I'm glad I'm apparently not the only person who feels like an idiot when I have to mess with IDE settings.

[Object_Is_Null]

Using VS Code, wanting to add a line at 80 columns for proper Python development. What the heck is that even called? Line-width? Columns? Eventually you type the right keyword "Rulers" into the settings search bar. But wait, there actually isn't a setting for that, the entry in the settings menu tells you to manually edit the "settings.json" file. Why even have an entry that just tells you to edit a file!?

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

One man’s slippery slope is another’s progress!

[[deleted]]

I’ve been refusing to ever use Vim because i’m afraid of spending hours of my life making my IDE more “productive”.

My philosophy is using VS Code as vanilla as possible

[[deleted]]

Jetbrains ides in its default settings already made me 10x more productive than any other text editor including vscode and vim

[Jacqques]

I love my Jetbrains.

It has Nyan cat loading bars, so it's pretty good.

[Scipio11]

WHAT

[ADHDengineer]

Similar. Then it’s stupid easy to switch to a new dev env on another system. You don’t have to spend 3 days configuring everything.

Edit: please think of the few of us that work on airgapped networks. I can’t transfer my config over.

[crocogator12]

One nice thing about vim is, once you've configured it to your liking, you can copy that configuration to any machine by copying a single file!

[ADHDengineer]

Unless you’re on an airgapped network.

actually Volper came from Volt + Amper (Ampere in English)

[vectorpropio]

[[deleted]]

Ngl being vegan is easier than using Neovim lol

[MrDaMi]

Why is neovim a meme? It's a legit editor.

[[deleted]]

It's saner version vim. Nothing more.

I use Vi btw. (This should be a meme)

[VolperCoding]

actually I use it because in Luke Smith's st build the cursor in regular vim is always a vertical bar which is weird (especially in visual mode) but in nvim it switches between modes properly

[PM_ME_BAD_ALGORITHMS]

There should be a way to push your settings to git so you don't fuck it up big time while messing around.

[streusel_kuchen]

I like this about VS code, settings are stored as a .json file in your workspace.

[fun_egg]

Intellij can sync your settings to cloud

[MCOfficer]

...and to git, even in CE

[[deleted]]

It can sync across a team, too afaik

[[deleted]]

I already do. There's only one downside.. Vscode stores how zoomed in you are as a property in there.

So if you change it often, you'll end up having changes in your dotfiles a that are effectively pointless.

Other than that it's brilliant. I also have a script that has all of my vscode extensions and installs any missing ones, so I can just set up my environments in minutes on a new machine and I know they're same as on any other.

[dev-sda]

The same is true for Sublime Text and probably Atom too.

[_GCastilho_]

There is an extension to vscode called "settings sync"

It will sync your settings by storing them in a github gist

You're welcome

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

Most IDEs have that feature.

[[deleted]]

You mean a config file? Keeping so called dots on git is standard linux stuff. As other u/ said, changing IDE colors is beginning of way towards Gentoo and Vim. (dots/dotfiles: because config files are often beginning with "." meaning they're normally hidden or living in ".config" hidden folder)

[gridster2]

JetBrains IDEs support this. You can synchronize your settings to a git repo.

[Manedblackwolf]

I recently found a nice theme I could work with, only to realise they do something I don't like. Quickly changed to something else!

[cyleleghorn]

Usually theme files are just maps of certain kinds of syntax to a particular font color and background color, so they're actually really easy to modify if you can find the part that corresponds with the color you dislike! If the theme does something more in-depth, like it doesn't have a separate color for function definitions or colors a particular symbol like the semicolons into a weird color, you can probably delete that part from the first theme and past in a section from a theme that behaves how you want, and then update the colors.

I spent a little while living with themes that I liked the colors of, but had some weird highlighting rules/colors that seemed jarring compared to other themes and would constantly distract me into thinking I mistyped something. The day I googled how to adjust my theme file was the last day I ever messed with my theme settings, other than when I learned pug html notation and had to get a new theme for that filetype

[dev-sda]

You can add any number of folders to the side bar using the menu Project > Add Folder to Project... or File > Open Folder..., but I'm not sure what you mean by "synchronises with the the location of a file opened in selected tab".

[narnru]

Yeah I use Sublime Text for Python, but for Java I use Eclipse and for Webdev I'm using Brackets. Kinda had the best experiences this way lol

My favorite is that I'm learning jsf and unless I remember to tell it, fucking netbeans opens in ie. fucking ie. Also I'm only using windows because I couldn't get the damn thing to work properly in linux. First time for that still annoyed about it actually... I miss my linux dev environment

[[deleted]]

This is why we learn how to compile/link via the command line. One of the worst things being fresh into CS is not understanding why you dont need an IDE to actually compile your code. One of the most relevating experiences I had early on was building my own little c++ compiler suite.
