  • It's formatted similar to spam/scam bots would be my guess.

    I opened the post primarily to check if it was another spam bot I had to ban from site. Honestly though, why are all your comments deleted?

  • If you haven't watched yourself from the outside, how do you know "there are zero issues with it"? You might be constantly breaking the typing flow and need to use a two-hand combo for some mundane [].

    Because I don't have the issue you're projecting. And if someone do have that issue, what type of programmer (assuming no physical disabilities) has their productivity limited by their typing speed? No one would be my guess.

    While someone on a US layout never needs to lift their hands of the keys, because all they need is a ctrl with a pinky + right hand within reach.

    Cool, same here , just that sometimes we press alt gr instead of ctrl.

    When I learn a new language, I also learn a keyboard layout for it. Or do you also write in Spanish on your keyboard? How do you make an à and an á?

    ctrl + \ and then a for à and alt gr + \ then a for á. It's really not much of a hurdle. And definitely faster than trying to learn a new keyboard layout that I can't type on without looking.

    Ah, that's right, you speak two languages, you're stuck using your comfort zone layout, and you'd ofc argue "zero issues".

    Are we talking actual languages or programming languages? Either case, you assumption is wrong. I don't understand where all your antagonistic energy is coming from. It's just a keyboard layout, there isn't a single correct one. Just use what you're used to and that you can write with a good flow, which for most people will be the layout they grew up with and can type in the blind with.

  • Didn't cover my ears when I was at an air show when a f-16 flew by. My ears have been ringing ever since. Was ~11 years old at the time.

  • I can imagine Rocksteady could have made a solid game in the vein of the Arkham series if WB execs with zero competence didn't interfere. A real waste of talent.

  • I think the idea is to make it easier to detect trolling/spam from certain accounts. But honestly, there's no reason upvotes and downvotes can't just be public.

  • You're on /c/programming.

    Could just as well have been a writing prompt community. It's just writing ANSI characters for the most part.

    Also, it's even ISO standardized, so yeah, it's an international norm.

    I'd wish something being ISO meant it's the norm, but that's just not the case. #ISO8601Gang

    Pragmatically: most programming languages are developed in a way to that it's easy to type them up on a standard us layout. As English only has 26 letters, which is less than any other language using the latin alphabet (don't even start me on languages with accents like ñ or that differentiate between à, a, á, and â), all the special characters are usually easily accessible. Most others layouts will tuck them away behind non-trivial combinations in favor of improving accessibility of extra letters and special characters. Cuz essentially in human language you barely need * and [. So, I guess, right ctrl + left shift + 9 will do? how do you feel about coding in python on that. Or on a keyboard where the space for your | has been allocated to some letter ø and your OR operator has been moved to the numpad.

    As a user of a keyboard layout with æ, ø, å, who also uses python daily, I can promise you that there are zero issues with it.

    Most people will grow up with a keyboard layout designed for their native language's need. If it uses Latin characters, there should be minimal issues using it for programming too.

  • Never used a US keyboard in my life. Why would you think US keyboard is the norm?

  • The state should not be involved in murder.

    The state exists due to its right to exercise violence and murder to impose its laws. USA exists due to the violence and killings it made to become independent, and it's not alone in that origin story.

    The US government were involved with at least 467 murders of civilians in Iraq in 2023 alone. Almost all governments with militaries are involved with murder one way or another, putting the line at convicted criminals seems like an arbitrary ethical line to me.

    I'm against capital punishment myself, but that mostly due to the issues of cost and the court's inability to make correct judgments 100% of the time.

  • Never? All the executions that happened from the Nuremberg trials were wrong then?

    I'm personally not shedding a tear for Quisling, nor would I have shed one if Anders Breivik had shared his fate.

  • To be fair, it may not be something that comes up during a normal conversation. It's really none of our business what other people's preference in the bedroom is, so it isn't something most people pry about.

    I lived under the same roof (uni dormitory with 5 others) with a person for 3 years without knowing she was bisexual. It was only because she mentioned a female name in a subsentence about a tinder date that I found out about it. Unless they got a partner or you're really close to them, it may just be something you never find out about, so you just assume they're straight.

  • Everyone are playing the game, people who don't know about it are just better at it than everyone else. That's the whole point of it.

  • A game where the goal is to not think about the game. Which means reading "you/I lost the game" makes you think about the game, therefore losing.

  • The industry overextended during the free money era. Got nothing to do with the bogeyman

  • In javascript, === does not perform type coercion when checking for equality

  • Late for what though? Unless you got hours of spare time to play every day, there's more great games to play than one got time to play. The graphics is still top of the class and the gameplay is modern, the game isn't outdated whenever it arrives on PC.

  • A lot of aches and pains are just made up by your brain. Modalities such as massages, foam rollers, etc... does nothing to you when it comes to actually healing your body or helping your recovery, but many people swear by it regardless.

    Slight ache in your lower back? Depending how you mentally approach it, that pain may dissappear or get worse.

    It's why doctors have to careful about the nocebo effect, you might end creating a negative side effect for for your patient by just mentioning the potential side effects.
