definitely a case of coders riding on the shoartbus.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You think that's insane? Hah! Try mine:
Visual Studio Community 2019
Update Version: 16.6.0
Download size: 4.17 GB
Progress: Not started
Current Version: 156.5.2
Last Updated: 4/1/2020
![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) !
[edit]
And the first thing it tries to do when I click "Update"?
"Updating Visual Studio Installer" ...

Glad I wasn't planning on coding any time soon ...

I'm so glad I'm having to fiddle only with Visual Studio code.

As for me after downloading and installing the update, I open Visual Studio and it's still the same version as before. So I have to again download and install, this time it tells me I have to restart my computer.
I've had issues like that on 2 different computers, where I download and install VS and still it's not updated. What I would usually do is redownload the installer.

"Insane" is getting the full installer updated, so you can re-run it elsewhere purely offline.
Last time I did that, I was downloading tens of GBs regularly. I no longer bother.

The fact is VS is ugly, monolitic, high dependency sh%%t (like Linux kernel). That's why one-line change in one library requires total recompillation and upload tons of bytes.

Installing VS 2019 v 16.6 right now... By far not fully installation, almost nothing on web, nothing on big data, nothing on other OS's
Still almost 60 Gb space needed.

A programming language based on font?
That sounds pretty awesome actually 
public int Add(int a, int b)
{
return a + b;
}
public int Add(int a, int b)
{
return a + b;
}

Their was a professor that said using white space in a programming language was a sin (paraphrasing). I can not argue with the obvious, but the language that does that still exist and is quite popular.
Figure is out for yourself, just remember not to change tabs to spaces in your editor (IDE) unless the code was originally written that way, or you'll break the code.

I was able to fool the PS3 into downloading game files from my computer instead of from the Playstation Network online.
The reason that was cool is it meant I could download the games onto my computer once, which keeps them local to me, and then when I needed to reinstall the hard drive on my playstation 3 i simply downloaded the games from my computer instead of PSN, which it could do blindingly fast because it was right next to it instead of across the internet.
Unfortunately the PS4 will only download games over SSL (probably to thwart people like me), and I don't have the certificate I'd need to fool it like I could with the PS3.
It's really too bad, because a utility like that would be useful enough to spend money on.
