Some Hacker Movies that are not mentioned yet that (kind of) match your description:

The Net, Matrix, Code Rush (a documentary)

https://lobste.rs is one good alternative.

TortoiseSVN

OpenAPI spec as a YAML file in a git (Gitlab) repo.

Thx, I will definitely try it out when I'm back at my work PC.

It's "go to definition", I think CTRL-mouseclick is a common setting in most modern IDEs. In Eclipse it's F3 if I remember.

VS Code was the only editor or IDE I found for Linux that can be used to browse like that without much configuration. CodeLite worked sometimes but not reliably.

I can just type "code ." in my src folder and can start browsing it. Most IDEs need to setup some kind of indexing. VS Code worked out of the box.

I wish that VS Code had a TUI (Text User Interface) with mouse support like mc to run it in a SSH console.

Vim, emacs or nano are no alternatives for me as I need to browse large C/C++ legacy codebases and some newer JS. And I rely much on CTRL+mouseclick.

Does anyone know a VS Code extension to use it in a shell instead of the desktop GUI?

C# with Windows Forms or C++ with Qt. That would be the easiest options.

Locate (fka Locate32). Looks like the old Windows 95/98 search tool. Supports indexing.

The site only shows "Service Unavailable".

A tool like this exists since the 90s. As command line program or WinAmp-PlugIn:

The only big Perl project I know is FHEM, a free smart home server that supports lots of IoT protocols and hardware.

Matrix 4! Good news in this real world dystopia nowadays :)

One of the best articles ever on HN. I agree with you 100%! I've often thought this with web pages or apps with a new design. Most of the time the new one has only 80% of the functionality the old design had. I stopped updating most apps on my phone because of that.

It is Technologie-Haufen or Technologiehaufen in correct grammar ;) See: deppenleerzeichen.de

I have never seen a transformator explosion in Germany or Europe. What is different in the american power grid?

Who uses exceptions in C++? Better use good ol' return values like in pure C code.

You must connect an old network hub to the device you want to listen to (or its Wifi access point) and your PC that is running WireShark. A hub is like a switch that sends every received data to all of its ports.

No Android version of your app?

They should start using XMPP/Jabber. At the beginning with a Yahoo-Transport to be compatible with the people that are slower to switch:

They should work on the Thunderbird address book. This part of the program is totally broken: -only 2 eail addresses per person -if you have activated automatic adding of an email address to your address book when sending a mail it is not case-insensitive. You get multiple entries: My.Name@Example.com, my.name@example.com, My.Name@example.com
