That isn't what they said, and it's probably not what they meant.

What they probably meant was that Nintendo testers use their non-dominant hands to simulate someone who has no prior experience with video game controls. (Though I'm not sure exactly what that would mean. Maybe OP meant they use "backwards" controllers with all the buttons swapped?)

That's not really a good comparison, no. The code snippet is more comparable to a sentence fragment, which more often than not is "gibberish".

For example, taken out of its original context, this sentence fragment from your comment is meaningless:

"that definition, any language"

I could be wrong, but doesn't notepad++ have an option to choose which symbols are considered a part of a word? If it's not notepad++, I'm thinking of xed.

That would help with at least a part of this person's complaints, like the underscore being considered a part of the word. But it kind of seems like they want the text editor to just read their mind, sometimes considering a symbol as part of a word and sometimes not.

That would be a good way to destroy the reputation of your company lmao. Leaving nothing but horrors in your wake. Kind of funny, though, even if it's cruel to everyone who comes after you.

Beautiful work

I am glad someone else agrees. It's absolutely horrible!

I am curious why you yourself have "blurted out the answer" if you enjoyed the opposite from the article? This isn't a callout or anything, I'm just genuinely curious.

You shouldn't wear your ignorance with such pride.

Yes, that's indeed the point being made.

On the chance you might not be joking, "liberal use of" means essentially "abundant use of" in this context.

Because if a baker's oven breaks and they can't provide their service, they cannot charge for their service, and customers can easily go to some other bakery.

Or the people who manually moderate HackerNews just haven't gotten to it yet.

Anyone know why the fuck the comments on the linked site are talking about Kyle Rittenhouse? Did I miss something?

A video about a pretty interesting and ingenious piece of forgotten software. The ingenious part starts at about 48:00 if you lack time or patience.

Why weren't you able to take meds?

They can probably do anything, but why would they when Fandom puts 3 gigabytes of their ads on every page of every wiki on their site? That's their bread and butter. You don't kill your livestock until you have to.

How is this not illegal / grounds for having the channel deleted?

If "China, India, Iran, Israel, et al" have had AI for a while, the US didn't really "unleash" it, did they?

"Unleashed AI"? Really? I don't know what you think has happened, but we've just barely got realistic chatbots. Skynet is nowhere near invented yet.

What exactly do you mean notepad can "now" edit text files? I'm pretty sure it could always edit text files.

The more I learn about Linux, the more I want to wake up from this nightmare. It is a fragmented hellscape.

Huh, looks like I'm one of today's lucky 10,000

> They even expand the acronyms later in the article.

That's the OPPOSITE of how you're supposed to use acronyms. If you're going to spell it out anyway, why not do it the first time you talk about it like you're supposed to?

Who are Adam and Jamie? Mythbusters?

I read "submarine cables" and imagined a sort of monorail or guide-wire for an underwater vehicle. I thought, "I guess that makes sense, that'd probably be cheaper or safer than an untethered submarine".

It's funny how "good" the brain is at rationalizing misconceptions like that.

If I hadn't read a couple comments to try and see why Africa (or anyone) would need a safety-rope-assisted underwater submarine I might have gone on assuming that was just a normal thing.

What the fuck is "10k-quadrillion" supposed to mean?

> designed for speed > website lags

that's actually a good point, I didn't know orbital decay was so slow

while they don't have the fuel to deorbit themselves, they will eventually deorbit due to orbital decay.

Still, as you said, they won't fall straight down, and would probably burn up in the atmosphere regardless.

It absolutely will. They will not be able to participate in almost all modern social interactions. Like, yeah, they will be able to talk to their friends, but only when at school and at sleepovers.

And even then, being excluded from having normal access to a phone still isolates them from "normal" people. Everyone pulls out their phone and all the phoneless person can do is either sit there in jealous silence like a loser or try to get everyone to stop playing on their phones when they're around them (also like a loser).

Overall not an ideal situation.
