  • Huh..? Salzburg is pretty small and so is its airport. What route would you have to take that you end up in a small, barely international airport and not realize at your last transfer that you were in the wrong part of the world?

  • Here's a really small and easy to fix pet peeve of mine: graphics options that cycle through the levels of fidelity with inconsistent scales. I like to set my graphics to max, try it out, and then adjust down where needed. It's very annoying if a game doesn't stop where the max option is, so if it's currently at "High" I have no idea if the next option to the right is going to be "Very High" or "Low" again. So I often end up overshooting the highest setting and having to go back one, or purposefully going to the lowest setting and then one further.

  • We say "das ist mir Wurst" in Hamburg too, so it must be a pretty universal saying.

    Is Mietschuldenfreiheitsbescheinigung used in a saying? The only meaning I can think of is the literal one (attestation of no rental debt)

  • I'm from Hamburg and I know the majority of these as well, but some are a bit different. Here's some variations on yours:

    • Das macht den Kohl auch nicht fett (that doesn't fatten up the cabbage)
    • Herr, lass Hirn vom Himmel regnen! (lord, let it rain brains!)
    • Wie ein Schluck Wasser in der Kurve (like a sip of water turning a corner) - sitting very lazily/not upright
  • If it's in the minified front end code it's already client side, of course you don't show it to the user but they could find out if they wanted to. Server side errors are where you really have to watch out not to give out any details, but then logging them is also easier since it's already on the server.

  • Well, I think for a 9 year old it's fine. I think the stage where you would run into issues is when trying to get into "actual" software development, where the flexibility in scoping and typing afforded by Python can lead to some bad habits (e.g. overusing global/shared variables, declaring them from within functions, catching errors late instead of validating data first, ...)

    I don't have a ton of experience with it but I think C# strikes a pretty good balance between strictness and beginner-friendliness. Modern Java isn't all that bad either, though it doesn't have very good options for fun things to build. But again, I don't think this necessarily applies to a child; I'm an educator at a university so both my target audience and point of reference are freshman compsci students.

  • I was brought up on Python and also do not like it for a variety of reasons, both practical and by personal preference. I also have the opinion that if you are trying to learn software engineering it is not a good language to start out with, despite it being so easy to pick up at first.

    Some people try to use Python's popularity as a counterpoint, and while it does show that my view is a minority opinion, it's not a very convincing argument for the language itself.

  • It's not code anyone is supposed to read or work with, this is the result of minifying it to be as short as possible. And from a quick glance what's happening is that a variable is set to correspond with whether the cursor is currently over a certain element. Not sure what's funny about this?
