“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.

It’s the backbone of the entire company I work at. And I work at one of the largest companies in its field. If it went down for an extended period of time the company would grind to a halt. I guess it’s called “IBM i” now but everyone calls it AS/400

Not anymore, but I have worked at places that use them for inventory. Good ol green terminals.

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

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

Why linking to a page that contains an image instead of posting the image with the source?

Linking an xkcd image directly would strip out the hover text, which is part of the comic.

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.

is this common for xkcd? because then I’ve been missing a whole layer of all the comics I’ve stumbled upon.
