Narrator: It was.

“Then you are truly lost.”

And a hearty handshake and a high five. Then start selling their assets and departments to competitors.

Check into the available plugins for your language. VsCodium’s architecture pushes everything that not everyone needs into plugins, so unless you’re just taking notes, you’ll need a plugin for your chosen programming language, and eventually another for your chosen deployment environment (AWS, Azure, etc).

VSCodium’s debuggers do have point-and-click configuration.

I think your point stands, though - the easy-button debugger setup has plenty of room to improve, and the majority of the user community focuses on the JSON debugger config - so most developers using VSCodium are going to be hand-crafting JSON configs to set up their debugger.

It does not integrate a debugger, build system, test system, execution, etc.

All of those things have been available in VSCode and VSCodium as production-ready plugins, supported by major vendors (mostly Microsoft) from almost day one.

Weirdly, as an extreme example, VSCodium with the MSSQL plugin is a better SQL IDE than most dedicated SQL IDEs.

He’s got one leg, Jim. Count 'em: …one…

I don’t think the billionaires survived the initial premise of this thought experiment.

I’m relieved to hear it. No one should have to see X-Men 3. /s

Joking aside, I see your update in your other comment. Pretty cool. I’m always fond of movies that expand my world view.

It was probably X-Men 3. A loving God wouldn’t have allowed X-Men 3.

I do this as well. I can’t say I’ve kept a lot of secrets, but at least the kids have a large vocabulary.

I agree with many here in that I expect not to be any more inconvenienced by death than I was before I was born.

A thought that I appreciate that others haven’t mentioned is: The atoms that currently happen to think they’re me have previously thought they were a fish or a raccoon or a different person, or whatever, and they will, eventually, again.

Since my life is probably just ripples on a pond, I am motivated to, ideally, make an interesting, pleasant splash. I hope I’m remembered fondly for the brief time (cosmically) that I’m remembered at all.

I also hope (perhaps against reason) that humanity (and whatever replaces us) are growing more compassionate, so that whatever interesting form my current atoms might join next may also have a decent time, and have a chance to leave more pleasant memories in others.

(And hey, maybe there’s an afterlife. If so, maybe whoever runs it isn’t one of the assholes that the con artists tell us to expect. Or if they are one of those assholes we’ve been promised, maybe they can be distracted and assassinated. I plan to be ready to roll with it, just in case.)

I mean, the good news is I saw this post (currently brand new with very few votes) right away in “hot”. So that’s nice, I guess?

That said, I have no idea. If I were to hazard a guessz I wonder if the algorithm doesn’t have any logic for dealing with outlier vote counts, and brand new posts all end up falling into that outlier case.

Lol. Fair enough.

I don’t particularly pay for it in taxes.

I personally, make substantially less than our highest tax bracket of $578.126.00 per year, and I make plenty.

I’m not personally worried about the taxes I’m paying for healthcare.

I’m worried about being financially ruined (myself and my children) by a health event.

1 in 4 of U.S. adults carries medical debt. One in four. Those are lousy roulette odds with a loaded barrel to the head. It makes some of us think harder about doing risky activities like driving a car to work. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/04/who-had-medical-debt-in-united-states.html

Personally, I have no sympathy for those making over $578.126.00 per year. Let them pay a lot more, if that’s really necessary (it’s not, but if it is, let them). Hell, I’ll gladly pay more to eliminate the risk of being ruined, if it’s really necessary (it’s not).

And no, as a relatively well off knowledge worker my private insurance does not eliminate the risks. One head injury could:

• give me permanent ongoing medical expenses
• take away both my ability to work (where I get my health insurance that pays my medical expenses
• drastically lower my chances of winning a lawsuit (or even choosing the right representation) against a ln insurance company that doesn’t feel my health merits their expense column.

This isn’t a terrible system for rich people with steady jobs. But none of us are rich people with steady jobs 100% of the time.

A lot of times and places they’re free. But yeah, WTF.

Based on the responses in this thread we pay infinity percent more. There’s a lot of $0.00 stories here.

Almost like the capital owners are the ones paying…

I feel like not enough people have seen “Secondhand Lions”.

Yes. Everyone should get to see Doctor Strange love.
