well you know how those old hackers be, amptly explored in the logs. "we are learning all kinds of new things from out contributors! we've ported to wayland, added ttf renderer, gtk3 backend, and a docker!!"

phf: wasn't over9000 surprised. but still ugh, 'hey let's resurrect lispm' 'but of course to Modernize!'

but it's kind of obvious that most people who work on projects like that don't intensely hate the current state of things. particularly old timers, their position is more like "if people knew what structural editor was, they'd add it to intellij!!"

(trilema) 2018-07-16 asciilifeform: 'they cloink a coupla with the sledgehammer so as to break down the find into shards the size they can fit in a pocket, after which they stick it on their oxcart'

13:23

^ orig. from an mp piece, can't recall which

13:37

in (mostly unrelated) sads, 'clion' ( and asciilifeform bought subscription, lol ) no longer runs on dulap-gentoo. rip.

Logged on 2022-12-18 13:05:21 asciilifeform[4]: phf: in other lulz, recently tried oddball commercial proggy editor from the pycharm etc. people -- 'clion'. notbad imho.

asciilifeform 'like total idjit' actually updated it, dozen+ times, actual bugfixes/improvements! until finally 'improved' to death, lol

signpost

https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/download/other.html << they keep the old versions around for download

14:17

signpost: of course asciilifeform had backup of the prev. ver., but did pay for the subscription, and thought 'hey, new ver. shows disasm & memory dumps etc'

14:31

ah yep, I don't tend to fight the march of Progress when it comes to running stuff like this.

signpost has a recent Gentoo chroot for such things as this, web browser, etc

signpost: thing was remarkable for running on asciilifeform's gentoo 'as-is'. but 'all good things end' eh.

17:07

( for the innocent -- there was a whole generation of 'commercial linuxware done right', i.e. installed 'without tentacles', didn't care what libc you had, etc. -- e.g. 'eagle cad', these were a++ , but nao afaik all gone )

http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-04-10#1025469 << afaiu you have to figure out how to run whatever latest java first, then you can run the thing as a jar. but i don't know if that applies to most recent clion. i have e.g. intellij running on openbsd, which is what's known as "not for the faint of heart"

22:12

some plugins fail, but up until last time i upgraded it (which was four months or so ago), the failures were "graceful". some wizard or dialog fails to open due to exception, but without bringing the whole thing down, will just continue to run everything else

22:14

main question is "can you even run most recent java on whatever box", i have no idea what all the different acronyms mean, but i recon there's a portalbe opensource jdk that you can boot even on most questionable setups (openbsd)
