I am Wong.

Could someone finally explain to me why the feel the need to put extra effort in to increase the whitespace in a post?

The world if people stopped printing web pages

it has come in clutch a few times

Massive disrespect for not learning a thing.

Was there supposed to be a “not” under that yellow blotch in the speech bubble?

Look at the last table in my original post. It contains 26 columns (A–Z), some of which are not shown, and 27 rows (blank–Z). There are 27 rows and 26 columns, regardless of the contents of the table. If the top-left cell (A, blank) were a 1 and (B, blank) were a 2, then (Z, blank) would contain a 26, and ZZ would contain a 702. Nothing about the layout of that table changes.

To summarize: The table will always be lopsided, if you start counting at 0 or at 1.

You’re absolutely right! Those dumb English people are wrong for not adhering to the German spelling reform. How dare they?

Also the spelling reform only changed the previous ß to a ss. The spelling reform has nothing to do with the c/k debate. What was your point again other than brainless insults?

Like every name in IT in the last 10 years.

“Windows App”

“Rust”

Krass is German.

c not as fun as k.

That’s the worst attempt at Motte-and-bailey I’ve ever seen.

no one cares.

This conversation proves otherwise.

Krass is German.

That doesn’t change that the English spelling is crass.

Also, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/crass says crass made its way from Latin via French to English, not German. Always with a C, btw.

Why is the 23rd shorter than the 21st and the 22nd? Why does the data and at midnight (?) between the 23rd and 24th? Why are the lines so curvy? Were there multiple polls per day?

This graph is not in my top-100 of data visualizations.

The argument stays the same. Only every index gets incremented.

heinously written stuff that wasn’t expected to be in service even in the '90s.

Nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

On a more serious note: If anyone can just claim anything in a conversation, that would be detrimental to any discussion. Either everybody makes up their own “facts” because no-one bothers proving everyone else’s version of a story (which is just everybody lying in everybody’s face); or everybody is constantly fact-checking everyone else, which makes the conversation take much longer than necessary.

You already have the source, or at least an idea in which context you got the information and how to find it again. It’s just common courtesy to share it the others rather than making them do the work, too.

Interesting. They chose not to use any background music, not even sound effects. They really sell that the protagonist is deaf.

Oh, nevermind. It was muted.

I think I saw one that wasn’t from me.

The reason for this is simply because you include the base note when you start counting, so if you stop midway and stack another interval on top, you have to account for that stop because it decreases the total travel distance by one.

I’m arguing that ‘counting the base note’ is necessary because there is no zero. If you travel 1 unit of your favorite unit of length, stop, and move one unit more, you have moved 2 units, not 3 as it is in music. Stops don’t add to or reduce travel distance.
