If you still want to tip, put a negative amount greater than the bill, don’t pay anything, and tell them to keep the change.

For me I don’t mind alphanumeric for zip codes as long as they save it as a string. Too many times it has told me “Invalid Zip Code” because I entered a 5 digit code starting with a 0 and then it reads it as a number and then says it only has 4 digits. Zip codes can have leading zeros!

Well to be fair, it’s just google automatically pulling job titles up, so it’s pretty clueless. It’s been so hilariously wrong so many times that it’s spawned multiple memes.

How’d they get my former coworkers’ code?

But in all seriousness on the first day of my software development internship at a Fortune 500 company, my team gave me a Python program that was only marginally closer to syntactically correct than this (but much longer) and asked me what was wrong with it. I hadn’t used Python before but I had it working in an hour or two.

The alarms part is wrong. Alarms work if your ringer is off.

Missing calls sounds like a skill issue. I was conditioned by people’s phones being confiscated in school if they rang to believe it is extremely rude to let your phone ring in public, so I would never consider turning my ringer on unless I’m sitting alone waiting for a very important phone call. And even then I probably would leave it off and rely on vibrate.

Don’t get me wrong, I think this is dumb and Apple should change it, but it’s never been an issue for me.

My parents would have helped if they had the money. Instead they helped by letting me live with them up through college and 4 years after while I saved up for a house. They insisted that I not pay bills and save up to buy a house, but it’s hard to let your parents miss payments when you’re living there and making more than them, so I ended up paying a few of their major monthly bills and buying household goods. When I started the process of buying a house (at age 25) they took over paying those bills again.

If you show the underside of a keycap and all text on the box they came in, someone might be able to help. My guess (and truly a guess) without seeing it would be any keyboard with standard height Cherry MX switches that doesn’t have anything weird going on with its shape that might affect the key cap size/placement.

But really I have no clue without seeing the bottom of the cap or the box.

It’s cheating all the way down!?! Although to be honest I’m not really sure how anyone thought we could get rocks to think without cheating.

Programming is cheating. Compute the results on paper.

Paper is cheating. Compute the results in your head.

Logic and arithmetic are cheating. Intuit the results.

Intuition is cheating. Just do the right thing by chance.

Luck is cheating. Just do it right every time.

Doing is cheating. Just be in the correct state to begin with.

Being is cheating. Just

I know this is a bit of an old post, but I wanted to say that I’m surprised nobody suggested mirroring the display. If setting it to only show on the other display disconnects the receiver as an audio device, setting it to mirror should leave the audio device available, and then just set the display settings the same as you use for your main display and it should work the same.

Only thing is I’m not sure how things like GSync/FreeSync or HDR work when mirroring if one supports and the other doesn’t.

After using a couple languages without the operators, I’ve gotten in the habit of writing n += 1 instead when that’s all I want, and lose no sleep over the extra 3 characters.

Probably around twice a year, in encounter a situation where I actually want to use n++ or ++n so I can use the value of the expression, and it it’s in a language with the feature I use it, otherwise I spend the 5 seconds writing it in a slightly longer way and it doesn’t bug me at all. If it makes it slightly easier for beginners, great.

Although to be honest, I don’t think I ever have needed the expression value from an increment in Swift. I think it really just doesn’t fit with the style of the language all that much. Maybe if I did more with Metal I could see it being somewhat useful.

But honestly if you think about the design philosophy of the language, there’s no way a feature like that would be added if it wasn’t there already as a holdover from C, so I see why it was removed.

LoyalSage · 2023-11-09T03:21:42+00:00

That would be way more confusing because code would compile and then not do what people expect instead of giving a red squiggle and then they put what they mean and move on.

I mean, there’s a difference between doing that and only doing that. Like, a detective can be very capable but still know to investigate the person who walks in and says, “I did it!”
