PL/SQL needs to be compiled, there can be compilation errors when you create a function or procedure on an Oracle DB. Doing that is part of my current job, so I definitely know what I’m talking about.

That is one option. I myself use VSCodium (vim mode <3) for all my text editing; if you want to avoid that, there is also Kate.

Among techy people.

Among ordinary users, I don’t think so.

ctrl+f for “calculator”, though it doesn’t really use the (detailed) wording from the OP, which I think they copied from this list of links without attribution :P

Krusader (or generally dual-pane file managers) is great once you get used to it. I have been using it (and Double Commander on Windows) for years now and wouldn’t want to get back to anything else.

Of course, not blaming children for misunderstanding this; but if this were a software requirement, an adult software developer should be able to understand it correctly.

Honestly the question as asked is unambiguous: “write words in alphabetical order” cannot mean anything else than apple, fox, log, pond, pumpkin, river. If what was provided here were the expected answer, the wording should be “write each of the following words with its letters sorted by alphabetical order”.

No, the answer isn’t “pumpkim”. :D

If you’re on this sub, this is a good programming exercise for you if you’re interested. I’m sure there are plenty of large lists of words in English, that should provide all the data needed.

That “most people” part kinda reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/2501/

Haiku and ReactOS have been mentioned, but SerenityOS hasn’t yet, maybe that is an option too. :D

I recommend “new comments”.

I don’t think that is a very helpful talking point either. Replacing workers with machines has been a thing for centuries and isn’t by itself a bad thing.

Using unverified AI for anything actually business critical is a very bad management decision though and any company that does that deserves the consequences. Using AI as replacement for eg. stock photos or video CGI? That is not a bad idea at all.

meh, we already have an option for the first (KDE Plasma) and for the second (GNOME) as far as I’m concerned, so what else is missing

Yes, you are quite right: I heard about the existence of “Samsung DeX” here first. It’s such an obscure thing that I (a Samsung smartphone user for more than half a decade) hadn’t heard of it before. I had certainly heard of Chrome OS before even though I’ve never used it.

The term “desktop” has more than one meaning and in the context of which operating systems are used on desktops, it certainly includes laptops. 😉

I usually code in an IDE that tells me whether my code will compile while I am typing it.

But when I write things like PL/SQL, yeah it is definitely an achievement to get it to compile.

Petition to make VPN officially an acronym for “very probably no/not/nobody/nothing”.

Also, “programmer” humor? 🙄

OpenOffice does not print on Tuesdays

Not a new debate at all… https://xkcd.com/1914/ and the context for that was https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-suspends-verifying-accounts-giving-154625015.html

I agree that if “verification” is going to be a thing, it should only mean the person or organization is who they claim to be, not imply endorsement of any of their activities.
