When the power goes out. Are you immediately concerned about the lights or the WiFi?

@CrazyMusicLover Aren't most documents auto-saved every few seconds, on modern computers?

@helenS computers have UPS and laptops have batteries. Decades back power was an issue. No longer.

@WandererTony All my documents are stored on external servers anyway. I use my computer mainly as a terminal emulator.

@helenS I compulsively press CTRL+S whenever I'm typing anything. Sometimes I occasionally do it here too, and the browser disrupts my typing with a dialog asking me where I want to save the HTML of the page 😬

@helenS No, not all software does that and if, I never deliberately set it that way. Adobe products have it but it's not default on illustrator, maybe it's possible to turn it on. I don't have it in Blender either. I don't like cleaning up clutter, lol. Also, just the other day I was doing something by which I had to remind myself to [b]not[/b] save to not overwrite the original file. I know that I could have saved it as two separate files but it felt like a pointless clutter for that particular situation. :D

@helenS I am building data centres. Soon your files will be in rooms built by us. 😃

@Elessar I use vim as my typewriter (the vi clone), which is installed on my server, and vim auto-saves everything.
:wq

@helenS I remember the first time I accidentally entered vi(m) I had to reboot the machine because I had no idea how to leave it 😬

@Elessar One fun experiment is: open a file in vim, type your name in command mode and see what will happen 😏

@helenS The very first thing I do whenever I'm setting up a new server:

# apk add -u nano && apk del vim

😏

@Elessar [b]nano[/b]??? Are you serious?? 🤨

@helenS Yes. Or even better, [i]micro[/i] 🥴

@Elessar A friend of mine uses JOE (Joe's Own Editor); the editor is similar to TurboC.

@helenS First time I hear of it, lol. Generally most of the time I just connect via SSH and use regular GUI editors (VSCode), I mainly use nano/micro/terminal-based ones when I get locked out or when installing a new server

@Elessar I don't need no stinkin' GUI editor 😏
Seriously I spend my life in a non-graphical terminal emulator running ksh.

@helenS Sooner than later you will, we're demanding compilers to add support to emojis in variable names:

@helenS
🥴

@Elessar my $var🌷1;

@helenS Never rely on the string length though!

@helenS [b]Edit [/b]> [b]Find and replace in files[/b]..

☑️ Entire project
Search: "dict"
Replace: "🍆"

😏

So, @helenS, how long is piece of string????

@ArtieKat Haha it's not what [u]you[/u] think 🤭

@ArtieKat Length of a string ≠ number of characters in it 😛

@helenS I do know that strings are part of programming lol. Not much more than that however

@Elessar Depends on the character set.
