Anyone have an alternative to this garbage?
Dear Netizens on the other side of the firewall:
Please please bring up the Tulsa massacre every time you’re interacting with any US business institution or citizen at any and every chance you get. I hope this missive finds you well.
I think the MOVE bombing is a better comparison, but I doubt any american actually knows about that
i do, and i knew about it before finding the subreddit, but i’m a nerd like that.
Missed opportunity to call it ++notepad
I believe pre-incrementation is superior to post-incrementation.
you wouldn’t write 2 += notepad would you? i prefer post because it matches the way i’d write all the other stuff like that.
I prefer pre because if I ever intend to use an increment in an expression, usually I want the operation to be performed before the expression is evaluated. I believe prefix operators avoid mistakes more.
Also in C++ land:
Because a temporary copy of the object is constructed during post-increment and post-decrement, pre-increment or pre-decrement operators are usually more efficient in contexts where the returned value is not used.
fair.
shouldn’t the compiler make that kind of optimization?
https://godbolt.org/z/3dTbzfn68
It does, and i’d assume all production-grade C++ compilers do. I guess it’s just a technicality in the C++ specification
Based on my limited research, it sounds like some optimizations may occur for built-in types, but may not occur for user-defined types.

Interesting, thank you!
Wow, incredible stuff.

Dev closes issues asking for a Palestine edition without reply lmao, fucking coward. Vim keep winning
For your question gram is great
CW: r-slur on the first link.
Oh mb edited, thank you
Notepad++ has been a nazi application for a long time. Dev is a piece of shit
Just keep using notepad++, you’re already using windows which is many orders of magnitude worse.
It’s for my work laptop :(
Wow can’t wait for the Nakba remembrance edition! Inb4 in the most surprising twist ever, the lib behind this EU funded software turns out to also be a massive Zionist.
Lmaoo they’re funded by the EU?!?? They’re also zionist yup
The developer has a history of dumbass takes
Kate, VSCodium, Zed
Yeah, Kate would be a good option. Available for Linux and Windows.
im using kate
lol - yeah I remember this app’s update cringefest.
JE SUIS ISLAMOPHOBE
Emacs or vim classic.
If you’re on KDE, Kate is ok, I guess.
VSCodium is alright, I use VSCode at work because we’re a Windows shop.
You should definitely spend the time to learn Emacs or Vim if you have the time though, they’re never going to be enshittified.
Drew’s a (well-meaning) lib and anti-slop derangement is almost as annoying as the slop bros but still
what is deranged about this fork?
What’s the issue with a fork?
no issue, just an indicator mainline Vim is being enshittified if you agree with drew
That’s fair, but owing to just how Vim and Emacs operate, and the kinda people they target, there isn’t really much drive to capture the userbase (specifically because any attempt to capture them will fail due to a fork).
People who use those editors are passionate about them, while people who use the Atom derivatives tend to just eat something that does whatever it is they want out of the box.
Most people will also just pin their Vim or Emacs version for years, while it’s almost impossible to pin VScode/Electron stuff because it’s full of bitrot and weird dependencies.
Most people will also just pin their Vim or Emacs version for years,
that’s a wild claim to me as a vim user but it takes all types I guess
Lol, I’m not an avid vimmer, but I do know some Emacs users that are still running old versions because they have specific configs or modules that only work with that version.
I’ve got one friend who’s a professor now and uses an old Emacs setup to do all his writing.

There is nothing quite as full featured that I am aware of. Linux has performative editors but they lack the amount of features that NPP has.
The good news is its free so you’re not paying to support this and it’s not like you’re helping them lock in marketshare against better alternatives either. So I’d just ignore it and not update that often or use an update manager like chocolatey.
They had a supply chain attack recently, no idea why the guy keeps poking China
What other reason than being a deranged anti-communist liberal do they need? I suspect the Hong Kong riots really set them off. Seeing the rioters lose I suspect unbalanced them mentally and they’ve been carrying on this crusade to avenge their fallen CIA-liberals ever since.
I’ve been using Geany a bit lately-- it’s more of an “IDE-light” than Notepad++'s “editor-heavy”
But also notepadqq, or if you want a very ancient feel, Xnedit.
what does notepad++ offer to begin with? i thought it was just notepad but with syntax highlighting. either way i’m never leaving neovim or whatever the next fork will be.
It has all the features of your distro’s default gui text editor (like xed or whatever), but it’s on Windows where that’s actually better than what people are used to.
