@konnorrogers @thomasfuchs VSCode is a fork of Atom, afaik Electron and Atom were created together, to provide a one-stop-shop for code within the Github ecosystem, which the integration of VSCode and Azure Codespaces completes. Gitlab now does the same thing, their in-browser editor is based on VSCode, which is now one of the more popular code editors on the planet.

@thomasfuchs that PowerBook g4 was my first work laptop that replaced my desktop, the battery is a spicy pillow but I think it still boots with the power brick. One of the best of the era, it had every port built in, the screen res is low by today's standard but I used it for sysadmin work for years and years of until my boss forcibly replaced it with an Intel macbook. Nice keyboard and touchpad too

@malcircuit @thomasfuchs I wondered if that was true, the Wikipedia article _does_ say the Cybertruk is the only shipping SbW car https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steer-by-wire but it looks like there are others https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2023-lexus-rz450e-steer-by-wire-yoke-review/ that are at least being planned, and apparently Nissan made one a decade ago but people didn't like it, but it did have a backup traditional steering shaft.

@Denton @jk I just don't understand how Python management is so much more difficult than Perl considering the age of both.

I use the heck out of cpanspec and just plain rpmbuild to make well-formed RPM packages with all the dependencies tracked that we can manage in-house with yum/dnf, but setuptools doesn't do any auto-dep tracking, leading to venv and Java-style bundles or a lot of manual work making custom bdist_rpm command lines.

I don't know why the common case is so difficult

@thomasfuchs I don't think I've seen one of those before, they look cool as hell. There is a certain spooky cold feeling interacting with a terminal when the stakes are high, in Alien, Lost, Jurassic Park (book) that I started to feel just reading the photos. Neat
