zokie posted:Just got an email from “client management” that they will be force uninstalling some applications shortly. Included in the lists: Notepad++, Beyond Compare, and 7-Zip We are moving from 7zip to nanazip since the installer loving sucks and it doesn't support modern contextual menus, on the text editor we have normalized the plethora of choices to vs code since it's easier to manage. I don't have anything to say about beyond compare so

When they came for notepad++ I did not speak out because I was not a np++ user. When they came for teams no one said poo poo because gently caress teams forever.

KillHour posted:What database was it? I work for a database company that can do something similar with directories (although in practice we rarely do) and I'm reasonably certain we can pretty easily return a directory with millions of subdirectories no problem. You would probably want to paginate the results, though. It's Actian Nosql. I don't think the issue is the database itself. I'd be surprised if an enterprise object oriented DB had a specific trouble with an object that has 7000 classes, I think it's the way the front end software loads and follows the tree.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking. 99% of 'performance' issues are on the client side (or users doing something stupid). xzzy posted:It's a decent random text dump app because it auto saves everything, my dumb notes will survive reboots.

Since I've been forced to learn Vim at a job in 2009, I've technically never used anything else. I just add a plug-in "vim keybindings" to every IDE that I've used after that.

I just want everyone to know that if you share your screen on a call and you have NP++ open, I'm going to assume you don't know what you're doing and you are probably in fact a lowest-bid contractor. This rule has never once failed me.

I'm not a professional coder, but I do a lot of game modding for entertainment. My go-to text editor for years was TextPad, but one of the games I've been playing with lately has some insanely large html files that make TextPad lock up when you try to navigate them. I switched to Notepad++ because it can handle the larger files. If anyone has any recommendations for decent text editors that can do comparisons and don't require you to memorize a bunch of keyboard commands to use, I'm all ears.
