Making the question so inflammatory is a double edged sword, you reach a larger audience, but you’re way more likely to drive people from your cause.

It is so inflammatory that it reads as intentional trolling to me. Same energy as “Islam is right about women”. The question wasn’t proposed to generate any sort of insight, it’s just to stoke the flames.

Algebraic notation breaks just about every rule programmers are taught about keeping their code human readable. For example:

  • Variable and function names should be descriptive
  • Don’t cram everything into one line
  • Break up large statements
  • Consistency is key
  • Don’t be fancy for fancy’s sake, don’t over-optimize (this is for learning, remember?)
  • Add in-line comments for lines that aren’t easily grasped
  • Be explicit where possible (it’s a convention to omit the multiplication operator when multiplying variables because variables are only one letter anyway…)

And then we force kids to cram the whole stdlib (or rather its local bastardization) into their heads or at best give them intentionally bad (uncommented) documentation during exams while wondering why so many just don’t seem to get it, even resent it.

Yep, my issue is with the presentation, not the actual content. I’ve also experience my share of elitism from people who seem to think that you either get it or are too stupid/lazy, there couldn’t possibly also be an issue with the teaching methods and notation.

Please keep in mind that this is one columnist writing clickbait, not the entirety of women.

The next question is going to be what the maximum number of steps an ant can store is and what happens when it overflows…

They used to make ones that can do both sides at once, but they were too complicated, expensive and basically immediately outdated when dual layer DVDs came around.

To anyone saying “just use GPOs”, here’s a quote from the SetUserFTA page:

Microsoft offers a solution with GPO, but it is Computer-based and not User-based – and rather complicated. this means, you can not associate your Users on the same Server/Client with different file types. for example:

you have a PDF viewer and a PDF editing software on your XenApp server. Now you want that a certain group opens their PDF’s in the editor and the others only in the viewer (for licensing reasons for example). this is NOT possible anymore and Microsoft states “it is by design” and “this is a security measure”.

Said solution:

  1. Set up a reference computer
  2. Install applications
  3. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs and configure default apps associations.
  4. Export/import the custom default app association with dism.exe

[…]

As some recommended applications can manage more extensions with each new Windows 10 version available, it’s a good practice to refresh your XML. For example, in Windows 10 1703, Microsoft Edge registers the epub extension. If you’re using an XML file from Windows 10 1607, epub is missing. As a result, you will get an app reset notification for epub.

[…]

Configure a policy for your domain-joined computer: file association will be configured at each logon. User will be able to change file association, but at the next logon file association will be configured using XML file. This policy works only for domain-joined computer.

This is just about the most convoluted, annoying way they could come up with for doing this, doesn’t help people whose machines aren’t part of AD and isn’t scriptable. If they were mainly concerned about security they’d have an option for not allowing the user to change these preferences even temporarily on domain-joined machines.

Shame somebody removed that code. At least RetroBar will still work. Hopefully.

it is a mystery 👻

From what I hear it’s usually more about back-handed compliments than outright insults, like “wow, you must have a lot of confidence in yourself to wear that, go you!”

Just turn your back so it will know you’re not interested.

I don’t know what you’re looking for exactly but there’s an SFW-only site with good tagging that might help. Example: e926.net/posts?tags=male+solo+feline+sword

kshade, (edited )
@kshade@lemmy.world avatar

It is a bit of a mixed bag, yeah. There is a tag for tabaxi, but there isn’t that much for that so I went with just “feline” as the example. Probably should’ve also added -puss_in_boots_(character) though.

I use the menu key in my terminal emulator to paste from the clipboard. Just Menu -> P. There’s probably a shortcut, but this works.

kshade,
@kshade@lemmy.world avatar

Jsyk, you can also use Shift + Ctrl + V for the one handed paste (likewise Shift + Ctrl + C to copy), or Shift + Insert (and Ctrl + Insert to copy) works too.

TIL, works in xfce4-terminal, thank you!

I don’t even know why people use Windows 10 (or 11) other than momentum.

Security updates. That’s it, that’s the only reason I recommend anyone unwilling or unable to switch operating systems all together to move to Windows 10.

IT workers != tech bros

But I don’t know either.

Not true, you can even buy it on Amazon if you really want to.

The law really need to be changed when it comes to this stuff, I’d rather take the inefficiency or even corruption than this (also inefficient and corrupt) nonsense.
