No, what they're describing is a False Friend. A very specific type of homophone/graph/nym. They work across languages. And in many cases (though not a hard rule) have close enough meaning/usage that would confuse non-native speakers trying to comprehend things via context.
E.g. A German telling his English friend, "I'll meet you at the gymnasium". The sentence is correct, and makes perfect sense to both. But they'll end up at two different places.
JSON5 is seriously what I feel JSON should've been. Comments, trailing commas, hex numbers, etc.
Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here's everyone that upvoted this thread.
Edit: Downvotes (reduces) are less exposed, but as you said, someone can just run a fedi instance that exposes them to everyone.
Huh. Turns out I had to clear cookies and site data, and now old is working again.
I've not logged in for a couple of weeks. Is old. deprecated now? Or is the fact that it won't load any comments part of the corruption issue?
Honestly interested what makes something not an IDE but can be one? The fact that it requires plugins to turn it into an IDE?
Does that mean Eclipse is not an IDE either, since it requires either JDT or CDT to be anywhere near useful?
Desktop FF here, been getting kicked off roughly once a day on default.
Not happening on Mlmym (old.), which I found to be better anyway. Wish I'd know about it before. Please keep it maintained!
break and continue are just goto in disguise ... use return instead of break
An if statement is goto in disguise. So is a return.
Some would argue having 10x 4-line functions are worse for readability and debugging than a single 40-liner, because to actually understand the code you have to jump around all over the page (another disguised goto - for your eyes!)
I can certainly symphatise. I've been pushed to temporarily take management roles, either client-facing or reporting directly to a C-level. Been encouraged by the team to take on the roles permanently.
What they don't see is how mentally exhausting it is to actually shield the team from the BS on the other side, when you genuinely care about the people in your team. Yeah, I could use the money, but I don't trust myself to not act on the homicidal thoughts that pop up once in a while during those times..
based on curiosity, which was short lived, because Linux (Mandrake) at the time was too challenging.
Story of my life back in high school. Except it was Slackware, from the back of a magazine.
Wasn't until I took Operating System Design in university that the whole linux/unix philosophy clicked.
Am I being wooshed here? Aren't Go and Go Fish two completely different games?
