It’s fine, babe, the doctor said I’ve got a standard.

Needless to say, they’re wrong.

Not least because there’s no such thing as a “compiled” or “interpreted” language.

Which is to say that it’s a property of the tooling rather than the language itself. There’s nothing stopping anyone from writing a C interpreter or a Python compiler.

Seriously, it’s like nobody in this thread even read the seminal paper, “Scrimbling Considered Harmful”.

My mom didn’t hyphenate, but she does include her maiden name when writing her full name, after her middle name. It never even occurred to me that that’s uncommon.

Hofstadter’s Law: It always takes longer than you think, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.

I used to use a system that was perfectly happy to let you use a semicolon when setting the password, but then login would fail if you did.

Also “doctor” means teacher. The specific term for someone who practices medicine is “physician”.

There’s an option (or maybe it’s a mod?) in Daggerfall Unity to reduce the size of the procedural dungeons. The plot dungeons will still be stupidly large, as their layout is fixed, but it helps with everything else.

The sound of scientific discovery is less often “Eureka!” than “Huh, that’s funny…”

First I misread the headline as “transgender cows” and then you’re in the comments talking about straight people insulin.

I think it’s time for bed.

Excuse me, but clearly it’s UNIX that leads to Dilophosaur consumption. We know this.

Interpreter: Wait, x is 5?

This code: Always has been.

Haast’s Eagle is said to have sometimes hunted and killed people (it’s main prey were moa, so it was definitely physically capable of it) but it’s been extinct for like 600 years.

Is there a difference between biochar and charcoal? Because that description of biochar sounds like it’s just charcoal.

And the same goes for modems. Those monthly equipment fees add up fast.

Why not link the original?
