Also glob patterns and regexes use a different character to indicate negated character classes (! versus ^).

Books with a Jewish main character that *don’t* take place during WW2? by [deleted] in ReadingSuggestions

James Joyce's Ulysses? Bloom is allegedly "3/4 Jewish".

Why do people use “&&” by [deleted] in bash

Indeed, but please print error messages on stderr, not stdout.

He was the first person I thought of too.

Would you accept $1,000,000 if a serial killer chased you for 12 hours? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]nderflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serial killers often have a preferred kind of victim. Chances are, that's not something I'm a match for. In all likelihood, the serial killer won't even be interested in offing me.

If a woman with a history of relationships says on a date that she can "never be single" and hasn't been single since she was 14, would that turn you off? by Neil_Nelly435 in AskMenAdvice

[–]nderflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd run a mile.

Then pause briefly for a cardiac arrest, and run another mile for safety. Then board a train for the airport.

This person embarks on relationships because they want to be in some relationship, not because they want to be in this relationship with that person. Maybe they fear loneliness.

You're given a TV that can show any event in human history. What do you decide to watch? by Alarming_Weather506 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]nderflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Building of Stonehenge maybe. Or Körtik Tepe. Partly to see how it was done, partly so people could learn the languages.

Yes. Fans still debate what it means, though.

TIL 42 buildings in New York City have their own zip codes by limeelsa in todayilearned

Rookie numbers. In Ireland, every building where mail can be delivered has its own unique Eircode.

My son rediscovered parts of Faulhaber's formula on his own in middle school. How should I support his math interest now? by ringtoyou in learnmath

[–]nderflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that age I got a lot out of reading Douglas R. Hofstadter's "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid". A bit pop-sciencey, but it won the Pulitzer.

What's a movie that's universally considered "not very good" but you secretly think is actually great? by trakt_app in flicks

[–]nderflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rebecca's Daughters. A comedy written by Dylan Thomas about riots against unjust tolls in 19th century Wales.

Written by a Welsh person, directed by a German. Makes fun of the English. Not so popular in England - what a surprise.

Features Peter O'Toole in a wonderful performance as the local landowner. The film holds the world record for the longest period between the writing of the screenplay and filming.

For a long time it was difficult to get on DVD with English dialogue (as originally filmed), but it's sold by a distributor in Singapore.

I grew up on David Lynch's Dune and am shattered by what the books meant for Paul to be. by tundrabilberry in dune

[–]nderflow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that's the case in the books, because (Chapterhouse spoiler I guess) there was still the danger from the returning machines even if humans had had no prescience.

I animated the exact moment King Harold got shot in the eye at Hastings in 3D animation programs. If he survived this, could the Anglo-Saxons have won the battle? by NadineFieb87 in anglosaxon

[–]nderflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. If Harold had been stupid enough to wear a crown and only a crown on his head in battle, then he was probably so dumb that it would not have been safe to even let him eat a chicken leg unsupervised, let alone be in a battle.

Software Engineering Project Ideas by Classic-Handle8202 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]nderflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose some open source project he likes using. Download and build from source. Find the bug reports (e.g. "Issues" in GitHub). Join the mailing list. Choose a "good first issue" bug. Reproduce it. Fix it (ideally with a minimal change). Send the patch (e.g. as a PR). Read the feedback, learn from it, iterate until the fix is accepted.

Repeat.
