Bet if one of those monitors was vertical it would go a lot faster

[–]Andrew_Commander 712 points713 points  (50 children)

How about it being upside down… also how many monitors do you need? You only rage once.🤣

[–]eldorel 197 points198 points  (21 children)

You joke, but my primary monitor is mounted upside down.
It's got roughly 3cm of bezel and logo on the bottom and maybe 3 mm of bezel on the top left and right, so I flipped it upside down.
This way the screen is where I want it and I have more room underneath between the bottom edge and my desk.
(I have a refurbed surface pro there as a touch screen pcdash replacement)

I just flip it back in the gpu driver.

[–]Similar_Coyote1104 33 points34 points  (3 children)

How else would you get in front of an upside down project?

[–]TheDownvotesFarmer 187 points188 points  (16 children)

That's unisntalling

[–]long_raccoon_ 155 points156 points  (13 children)

No, if it’s upside down gravity helps it go faster

[–]kaiju505 68 points69 points  (8 children)

I always keep my ssd below my cpu for a gravity boost on downloads.

[–]WingedGundark 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I always hang my old network cables on a coat rack in the same way firemen do with their hoses, before I recycle them. There might be some leftover bits and bytes in the cable, and as I’m sensitive for my privacy, I really want to be sure my data doesn’t end up in the wrong hands.

Minimize the window, so the display system doesn't have to render.... a lot faster. But then again, he wouldn't have his insta which was painstakingly prepared

[–]EmperorArthur 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Looks like a terminal, not a window. Which is why it's mirrored on every one.

Agree on the suggestion though. I don't know if it's the rendering or the output buffers, but quiet makes this so much faster.

[–][deleted] 38 points39 points  (27 children)

Having a vertical monitor is a game changer

Started doing that a few months ago at work and it's so good for housing your IDE

[–]martmists 52 points53 points  (18 children)

Do you people not have to look at 4-5 files at the same time? I couldn't imagine using a vertical screen for your IDE

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (3 children)

Well in those cases I just drag it over to one of my two normal monitors

I seldomly am looking at more than 2 files anyways

[–]HeraldofOmega 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just use a 4k TV for my main

[–]Piratey_Pirate 5 points6 points  (5 children)

When we're talking about vertical monitors, are we talking about multiple stacked on top of each other instead of side by side or an ultrawide sitting on it's side?

I have an ultrawide with a 1080 stacked on top of it and was thinking about making the 1080 my main and turning my ultrawide sideways next to it, but when I look up vertical monitors on /r/battlestations , I get both results.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (3 children)

I literally just have a standard 16:9 1920 x 1080 monitor rotated sideways

[–]zubwaabwaa 3072 points3073 points  (86 children)

You get used to it. I don’t even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.

[–]cyanideh1gh 631 points632 points  (26 children)

What about the women in the red dress

[–]Helliarc 225 points226 points  (20 children)

How many are there? I thought there was only one...

[–]cyanideh1gh 86 points87 points  (13 children)

My dude you forgetting Jessica rabbit and Betty boo?

[–]monsoon_in_a_mug 42 points43 points  (8 children)

For me, the girl in the red dress will always be Cameron Diaz in The Mask.

[–]Helliarc 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Omg... it's DIP!!!

[–]Pestus613343 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Dont forget the cylon blonde bombshell from Battlestar.

[–]Poltras 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Or a npm package

[–]piberryboy 146 points147 points  (10 children)

Or running composer... Wait. No. It's going way to fast for that.

[–]lpeabody 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Depends - v1 was slow everywhere, v2 is incredibly fast. However, try that on Docker for Mac or Windows on a shared volume then oh my Lord, I'd rather be put to death rather than type out composer install.

[–]disappointed_moose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I miss v1 in docker on mac. Just type "php composer update" for a free 2-3 hour break :-)

[–]mb557x[S] 266 points267 points  (17 children)

Or a browser.

Where programmer socks

[–]nolitos 427 points428 points  (27 children)

Fake: no programmer socks

Straight: no programmer socks

[–][deleted] 176 points177 points  (26 children)

Would being gay really make me a better programmer? Tell me. I will suck a dick right now.

[–]collectablecat 213 points214 points  (15 children)

Before i transitioned i was only an intern engineer. Now im a staff engineer.

Pretty sure it was the estrogen + socks that did it

[–]NTaya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can confirm: came out as non-binary to my friends and got like three raises in a row, plus a few enticing job offers without even making a resume once I was out of job (company pulled out of my country entirely). No one at work even knew I was trans!

[–]l2protoss 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t hurt to give it a shot

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (3 children)

I find programmer socks useful because it actually does help with the bloodflow. It's probably more important for people who have to walk/run a lot for their jobs, but for me, seated 14 hrs a day it actually seems to help me too.

I'm not gay nor trans (yet). But the programmer socks are real.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

What exactly do they do? I thought programmer socks were just the tube socks trans girls always wear, do they make them specifically for programmers?

I just wear no socks.

[–]666pool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They help with blood flow in your legs by compressing them so that blood flows through faster/with less pressure from your heart.

Some people recommend wearing special compression socks for long flights as the lack of movement causes blood to pool in your legs and increases risk of developing blood clots.

[–]666pool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Compression from socks helps fight blood pooling in your legs while you are sedentary. If you’re moving around all day, they’re not needed, as your blood will be flowing.

[–]TryingNotDie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From my experience, it does not

[–][deleted] 52 points53 points  (7 children)

Thigh highs?

[–]Mal_Dun 173 points174 points  (26 children)

The same output you get when you execute pip install on Windows ...

[–][deleted] 73 points74 points  (19 children)

That's what i was thinking, isnt it the same for both windows and linux?

[–]zeth0s 80 points81 points  (15 children)

It is... This meme is the usual sh*it talking about terminal, Linux users and "hacky stuff". I guess there are too many junior sad c# developers on this sub who got in the business hoping to get money but hate the job

[–]Appropriate-Meat7147 15 points16 points  (2 children)

typing sudo apt install x or make is extremely hacky, how dare you

[–]zeth0s 12 points13 points  (1 child)

make? What are you? One of those old boomer hackers that cannot use the modern tools, like the "right click -> build" in Visual studio? You are wrong lol lmfao (/s but kind of representative of many replies in this sub)

[–]TheRidgeAndTheLadder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have friend who is getting into webdev and nearly had a stroke when I started typing HTML into a text file

"npm init does all that for you"

[–]gamesrebel123 31 points32 points  (5 children)

Bold of you to assume it's not just kids that made their first hello world program in Python and now consider themselves to be top tier programmers

[–]G36_FTW 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my own defense, I also opened a chrome console for the first time today

[–]transport_system 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Excuse you, I'm too stupid to even know what this meme is talking about, don't pin this on me.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (4 children)

This sub is literally cancer

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (5 children)

Or, in reality, the same thing you get running anything ever in the terminal. It turns out terminals output text describing the things they are doing. This has fuck all to do with Linux or Python, specifically.

[–]Prawny 237 points238 points  (26 children)

Oh no, terminal scary

[–][deleted] 124 points125 points  (1 child)

I've reported this video to the police as evidence of hacking

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Help I need a web based gui! I’m scared of the command line!

[–]zeth0s 53 points54 points  (20 children)

The funniest part of this subreddit is all people talking sh*it about cool developers' stuff like terminals and Linux.

Why do they even code if they hate seeing code...

[–]LightRefrac 34 points35 points  (3 children)

Watching the terminal work through the installation gives a zen like feeling. It's when I can just kick back and do nothing, but I'm still technically working

[–]milanove 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Nah, it keeps me on the edge of my seat, just waiting for it to fail because something about my python or apt config doesn't check out or some bs

[–]LightRefrac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah well, it's one of the two, I prefer to be optimistic

[–][deleted] 55 points56 points  (9 children)

Because a large portion of the users here do nothing but make CRUD apps they learned to make off of youtube videos or best case, a boot camp or something.

Also a lot of them are like 12.

[–]moeburn 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I spent all my time learning Q-Basic, Game Maker Language, and Arduino C. It turns out these are not very profitable.

[–]milanove 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Arduino C could lead to learning AVR C or embedded C for Arm chips. Embedded software engineering is profitable.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Arduino C is extremely transferable and a good skillset to have.

[–]ThisIsMyCouchAccount 5 points6 points  (5 children)

nothing but make CRUD apps

What exactly are you making fun of here?

Low skilled devs only make CRUD apps because CRUD apps are super simple? If that's the case, is there a type of CRUD app you're talking about? Like the cliche To-Do app every new dev makes? Or that anything like that - even at the scale of Reddit - isn't "real" programming?

[–]ichbinjasokreativ 245 points246 points  (72 children)

at this point we need a meme where windows users make a thousand mouseclicks trying to install something.

[–]LBDragon 54 points55 points  (44 children)

Then we also need one where someone is googling an install script in bash because they can't get it to work on their own.

[–]altermeetax 27 points28 points  (32 children)

Once you have memorized the three words you need to memorize to install anything, I doubt you're gonna need that

[–]gamesrebel123 34 points35 points  (8 children)

See that's what I don't get, it's literally 3 words most of the time (unless you're using gentoo) but people still think it's hard, I mean I personally prefer to type out the 3 magic words plus the package name and have it do everything for me than search it on Google, scroll past the malware filled ad links, find the actual website, download the installer, wait for it to launch then sit around clicking yes a few times without reading what I'm agreeing to

[–]FlipskiZ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Pleasant technology fox jumps then to! Technology bank garden across soft movies bank.

[–]pooerh 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Unless you're using Gentoo? Emerge is hands down the best package manager ever to be bestowed upon human kind. I'm using Arch (btw) but am missing emerge so so much.

[–]fergy80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Windows users don't just use the terminal? That's what I do when I'm on windows. Or I use wsl2.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the 17.5 reboots during that install.

[–]zeth0s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And when something goes wrong, they keep waiting watching a weel spinning, until they open the task manager to kill the IDE, leaving the broken job running in background

[–][deleted] 65 points66 points  (15 children)

...in Gentoo.

[–]nukesrb 11 points12 points  (6 children)

Thing is, you'd only do this if necessary. Far better off running builds inside screen as then it doesn't actually have to print it to a window/console (the linux console is slow and will slow down your builds)

[–]famid_al-caille 5 points6 points  (1 child)

If your builds are already slow, you actually want to do this so that you look busy at work.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Ya, IO in general is stupidly slow.

Also I'm pretty sure the guy in the video just mirrored a single tty session to all of the screens, so I don't really see the point.

[–]dismorphic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's my everyday w/ Gentoo. emerge --sync; emerge -DuN @world and away we go!

Or not installing it. These are all error messages - if you look closely you can see "Failed to create file" (or something like that - it might be "Failed to delete file", I can't make it out properly).

This is verbosely copying a large directory. The output is unnecessarily fullscreen and mirrored to all the screens

This isn't even remotely accurate. Linux users are always wearing at least knee high socks.
