  • Also, you can sort by ascending file names

  • 7 digit years feels way to optimistic, but I'll be rooting for us.

  • Ours is around 10°C to 40°C, or 15°C to 30°C depending upon your tolerances, so I guess that's it.

  • my sense of temperature is much different than someone from somewhere warm

    That's probably the reason for this preference.

    10°C for me means my PC doesn't heat up the room enough and I need a heater. 32°F and I will be shoving my feet in the heater.

  • I use °C and I feel the need to use the places after the decimal. Also, I feel nothing wrong about it.

    Also, I use °F for body temperature measurement and need to use the places after the decimal and feel fine with it.

    Also, when using °C for body temperature, I still require the same number of decimal places as I require for °F.

    I am not saying that °F is not useful, but I am invalidating your argument.

  • I don't know much about "mostly", but check out the channels on the server kde.org, where they do discussions regarding visual design, development, documentation and all that good stuff.
    Sometimes, if you mostly find what you don't like, you might be looking at it from the wrong angle. For instance, I found a few, very desirable communities on Reddit, so much that I am finding it hard to leave. And that is the few that I searched for. Only realised the toxic communities, when I read others' rants on it ^[and from the recommendations. Definitely don't checkout the Reddit recommended communities or you will get said toxic stuff.].

  • Depends on HTTP 2.

    Doesn’t work from the web.

    Am I the only one who is weirded out? Requiring a web server for something and then requiring another server if you want it to actually work on the web?
    How expensive do people want to make their deployments?

  • JSON5

    Nice. I mostly use Qt JSON and upon reading the spec, I see at least a few things I would want to have out of this, even when using it for machine-machine communication

  • That's "country-ist". Nothing to do with the genes of people living over there.

  • I like the Doxygen's implementation and extension of Markdown. Pair it with PlantUML and you have something worth being a standard.

  • You were allowed a page “cheat sheet” to use on the exams, and the exams were pretty much the same problems with the numbers changed.

    That seems like the worst way of making an exam.
    In case the cheat sheet were not there, it would at least be testing something (i.e. how many formulae you memorised), albeit useless.

    When you let students have a cheat sheet, it is supposed to be obvious that this will be a HOTS (higher order thinking skills) test. Well, maybe for teachers lacking said HOTS, it was not obvious.

  • Well, if you have a large, underground, high pressure tank, a simple single-person household and only a few years to live.

    ... but possible.

  • You don't need to be a "misogynist douchebag" to know that putting 2 provocative women on a billboard will turn heads^[and do so, more than 2 men] and use that knowledge.
    If that were the case, then most cosmetic/clothing/jewellery product companies would have their figureheads, labelled as such. Of course, they are not because they are considered "relevant".

    But in the end, they all have the same in common: they care about their wallets more than people in another country they don't know.

  • Thanks, that definitely made it very simple to understand.

    Still not 100% convinced on the applicability under various conditions^[and if I want to be, perhaps I should stop being lazy and go read the law], but I understand it from the Government POV. Kinda similar to the country-country hostage exchange we see in stories, which makes sure the other would have a reason not to renege on some agreement, even if they don't have a reason for mutual trust.

  • proscribed

    err... I'm finding it hard to understand the meaning of the sentence using the dictionary meaning of this word. Did you mean to use some other word?

  • Fun to see how this thread stemmed from "no shit".

  • Students first need to learn to:

    1. Break down the line of code, then
    2. Ask the right questions

    The student in question probably didn't develop the mental faculties required to think, "Hmm... what the 'f'?"

    A similar thingy happened to me having to teach a BTech grad with 2 years of prior exp. At first, I found it hard to believe how someone couldn't ask such questions from themselves, by themselves. I am repeatedly dumbfounded at how someone manages to be so ignorant of something they are typing and recently realising (after interaction with multiple such people) that this is actually the norm^[and that I am the weirdo for trying hard and visualising the C++ abstract machine in my mind].
