Blue, Golden rings… Is it called “the hedgehog”?

To be fair this is not a Reddit thing and it can be found in the fediverse too. I can remember some of such situations where a person just posted wrong stuff but in a very confident way. I was able to prove him wrong later but nobody cared anymore.

Wait… there is a different C than C#?

Because usability. If you have the files down down1 down2 downxyz and download and the user only knows that it was “something with down” it’s best to show the user everything matching “down*” and let the user decide what’s the correct one.

Also I’m not sure but wouldn’t your expression show everything if only one character would be entered?

And again I don’t see this solving anything if the entered string actually contains other characters then what’s in the file (D != d)

Yes one could argue that some form of advanced algorithm or even AI could be used to identify such use case like download and Download but this is programming Humor, not linguisic Humor.

down matches down* because * also includes empty string. Also download matches down*

D matches D* but d is not matching D* because D is a different character than d.

Sorry, down is a substring of download I don’t get your point either?

I don’t get it… “D” is a complete different character than “d” is.

It’s like wondering why “file1” is not opened when I typed in “file2”.

Hey stop being sarcastic! This is a serious programing community here… Wait.

I thought that’s what GIF was created for… Even if the original introduction of it is saying something completely different.

I think you misunderstood the purpose of this. This is not for citizens to join it’s an instance for government officials and offices. This is very good practice to prove a account is the official account.

But honestly I have more trust in my government to not exploit on me then I have in meta/Twitter.

Oh man… UK is so f* up right now. Hope times get better for you soon.

If I understood this correct from my interpretation of the dutch server description this is an Instance for dutch government officials.

At least Germany also has such a mastodon instance too for quite a while now. So people on mastodon know that an account there is officially a government account. The BSI (German Office for cyber security) and other offices post there.

This is not an Instance for “normal people” to register on.

What should meta possible change about Lemmy or programming.dev? They have no power here even if we federate with them.

Not a Fan. I’m an enjoyer

And that’s when you remember why you have been an average AMD enjoyer.

Big Part of my daily business is explaining people what they should code… People aren’t reliable as well.

I’m sure in a few years from now nobody will code anymore and you will just tell the AI what you want to see implemented.

Same as nobody writes actual machine code anymore and everyone only uses higher languages.

Actually, I don’t think there is a technology some could recommend that will magically boost your career. Because this will highly depends on what will be required in upcoming projects and no one can know this. So just go with whatever you want and what your interested in.

However, one skill that many technical people are missing is the ability to communicate with other people outside of their own skill spectrum. In my eyes this is the most important thing if we talking about career, because in the end the money never comes from technology it comes from humans and in many cases non technical people decide about you promotion.

So I don’t think there is a blueprint for learning such skills, but I guess best thing to do would learning by doing. Go start communicating more with people outside of a technology bubble, try to organize events with other people or maybe even get politically active. Learn to know when people know what you are talking about and when not. Good example would be the use of the abbreviation LOE in your original comment. People seam not to understand what this actually should mean. Here it doesn’t hurt much but doing this stuff to often when explaining a concept to a college maybe end up in false Implementation because of misalignment.

I don’t know anything about your job or the company your working at, but just reassigning you to another team without any previous conversation or asking you how you would feel about that shows a really bad management. A no go if you ask me.

I assume she was excited about all the cool stuff you could make with it and found out it was actually just a cake… Would be disappointed too.
