Thank you for the warming.

@donho ,
I’m going to have to take a picture of my ‘library’ before I clean it up. Mine are in a room with closed blinds, covered by other items and are not sun bleached like yours. I have 3 bookcases and a computer desk with shelves that are stacked all over. I have a path to the conputer cockpit. It was my home within my home about 26 years ago, when I used to be bleeding edge. Now it’s a museum of technnology that I need to get back into…but you’re right, those were our ChatGPT’s. :-)

@donho said in As time goes by... if you've been around long enough to notice...:

It’s not me who created this account for Notepad++. Or more accurately, it’s not Notepad++ official reddit account. Personally, I have even no account on reddit?

As far as I know, anyone can create a sub-reddit if the name isn’t already taken. There’s no endorsement implied unless there’s an explicit indication to that effect. (There is not for this one.) This was created in 2013, but the two current moderators joined in 2022 and 2023, which means the original creator is no longer involved.

It doesn’t get much traffic — about one post every two days. I only stumbled across it a couple of months ago. (I’ve been on Reddit over ten years.) If I ever see a problem that’s truly interesting, I’ll send them over here… hasn’t happened yet.

@Lycan-Thrope

Not your fault. Whoever made the shirt thinks they’re typing on an SMS messaging app. :)

Thank you for finding the excuse for me! :)

@Terry-R
Year 99999 Shouldn’t be a problem… Around 2025 years ago we manage to alter all code references to “Year = Year -1” to “Year = Year + 1” without much difficulty.

like promoting the use of Bermuda Triangle know-how for garbage collectors.

Brilliant !

@Alan-Kilborn

It would have been more amusing if you had included an explanation of how this was you in trying to solve a current Notepad++ coding problem. :-)

You’re not wrong.

Here’s the whole story:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/15681

Long story short: I tried to remedy the network file disconnected hanging problem. So I used thread. It leads the zombie process after closing Notepad++. Of course, the thread solution has been abandoned partially.

@mkupper said in An updated list of Notepad++ "Easter Eggs":

Npp’s code makes frequent use of hard coded values, negative logic, and path not taken style of coding. It keeps you on your toes.

You state this like it is overall a “bad thing”. IMO, it in general is very typical code for its time.

I’ll not agree with “frequent use of hard-coded values”, generally. The case you’re discussing, though, may be an exception with its introduction of -2. The use of -1 is fairly typical, though. I’m not a fan of it, as it often makes things “awkward”, but I did just use it myself in the code that returns the color id of a tab (where -1 signifies “no color”).

For use of “negative logic” and “path not taken”, I can’t comment unless some specific examples are given, but again I think N++ code is pretty typical of most code of its era in this regard.

@donho Easter egg! Now updated to “We come in peace”.
May I add this text stereogram, it does work but expand to full lines in fixed font of course.

@donho The game of spending hours to change or add one character.

@Terry-R Seen a few of these pics.VW Bug.jpg

@mkupper Best I can do is change the font.

@donho ,
Well, it’s not a concealed…umm…coaster so it can’t be a weapon. : -)

@donho,
Amen to that. :-)
I always seem to be needing to do something and I can tell when it slows up that something is up. Go get coffee or something to keep going and it starts updating or boots closing everything. I fully endorse Malkovich’s sentiment. :-)

Welcome to the AI driven future…

Are there web sites that will translate plain human languages into AI speak or Aiglish?

@donho

Took me longer than I’d like to admit, but…it looks like a wind chime!

It thought it was Admiral Ackbar, until I clicked on it and realised it was a trap.
