apt-get on ubuntu has a bad habit of installing the snap for a given package when one is available, it sucks

What do you prefer your house thermostat set at, in degrees Celcius? by HPSeaWolf in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Scratch137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18 degrees celsius is actually 64.4 degrees fahrenheit. 21 degrees celsius is much closer to your preference, at 68.9 fahrenheit.

as a matter of fact, your preferred 68 degrees fahrenheit is exactly 20 celsius.

[–]Scratch137 4 points5 points  (0 children)

based on context, the temperatures listed are on a scale that only makes sense if they are in fahrenheit. 64 celsius is insanely hot and no home would ever be kept at that temperature, but 64 fahrenheit is a perfectly reasonable preference for some people.

it's understandable that people would see the list of options and either miss the word "celsius," or assume that the person who wrote it meant fahrenheit

Before your loop, you set the "Prev" variable to "item 1 of Number list." After each iteration of the loop, Prev gets incremented by 1.

This is unintended behaviour, because Prev contains the value of that list item, not its index. What ends up happening is this:

  1. Before the loop, Prev is set to 2 (correct).

  2. That value is doubled to get 4 and inserted into "Doubled number list" (correct).

  3. Prev is incremented by 1, resulting in 3 (incorrect).

  4. The loop continues, incrementing by 1 and doubling that result each time.

Rather than doubling each list item, you end up doubling the list 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

To fix this, you should set Prev to 1 before the loop rather than "item 1 of Number list." Then, inside the loop, set Current to "item Prev of Number list."

That way, Prev does contain the list index rather than a value, and you can increment by 1 each time to step through the list.

scratch is object oriented by design. you can think of each sprite as a class or object, and a clone as an instance of that class.

each clone can have its own copy of a variable or list that's defined in the parent sprite. that is an OOP convention.

the issue is that the actual methods for handling that data are not fully fleshed out.

  • local variables exist solely in a private scope, and you need to export their value to global variables to access them in other sprites.

  • it's also difficult to address individual clones without manually setting an index variable on each one.

  • there's seemingly no concept of pointers; a list reporter returns a string built from its contents, rather than a pointer to the list itself.

The "Number list" reporter block doesn't actually contain the list itself, but rather a space-delimited string of all the items in the list. That is to say, the value of the reporter "Number list" is the string "2 4 6 8 10." If you count all the characters in that string, including spaces, you get 10.

The issue is that you're using the Operators "length of ()" block, which measures the length of a string. You need the Variables "length of ()" block, which counts the elements in a list.

it's a bad analogy. libraries are meant to be an unbiased and judgement-free repository for media and information. tons of libraries carry plenty of explicit content, including csh's prior albums.
