This is like seeing those php jokes in programming humor communities. Because they’re clearly made by someone who is well over a decade out of date with their information.

For reference symbolic links were properly introduced in Vista(2006), but junction points were available before that.

Most memes or jokes referencing a direct problem in PHP, are old or made by people who haven’t touched the language in a decade(version 7 was in 2015, and it removed/fixed a lot of issues and added needed features).

There’s also the huge looming thing that a lot of programmers forget: Websites like Wikipedia run on PHP, not to mention the amount of WordPress and similar websites are out there. Which means it will keep going strong. And for a while Facebook also used quite a lot of it, to the point where they made a rudimentary compiler instead of rewriting parts in more efficient languanges.

Their comment was indicating that laptop batteries will be damaged if left plugged in constantly. Which is a thing that can happen with some laptops, and most old ones.

My comment was about how some modern laptops when left plugged in, will charge the battery and then start running directly from the wall-power once the battery is full. They bypass the charging once it is indicated to have a “full charge”.

That depends on the age and quality of the laptop. It’s been a while since some started directly running off the cable when the battery is full.

The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.

Although just for fun:

Then Python is not a scripting language.

That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.

Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?

You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you’re just trying to incense people.

Do you know what community you’re in? Do you want to start a war?

There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:

• Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.

• Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider “scripting”.

Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.

For example, there are things like NodeOS, a “Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace.”

That would be awesome, but sadly the biggest shift wont happen until the major anti cheats start supporting proton.

From what I remember he seem to mostly use it to change parameters and intiate things with voice commands. At least in the movies.

I always find it funny how people act as if there is literally no reason in existence to keep using windows.

It literally just shows us your ignorance and insulation from the real world.

Yeah that’s how it goes.

Just earlier today I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying figure out an issue where the classic “debug print” didn’t give the correct value. And as is often the case, I had forgot to change print to the new test variable.
