"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • Programmers are no longer needed!

  • I don't get how an MDA would translate to "no programmers needed". Maybe they meant "coders"?But really, I feel like the people who use this phrase to pitch their product either don't know how many people actually find it difficult to break down tasks into logical components, such that a computer would be able to use,, or they're lying.

  • I initially started de-upvoting just because it felt weird to have a blue marker on my own comment, which was supposed to be for other's comments that I upvoted. It then evolved into having a "reason" behind it. But yeah, it just seems weird to upvote one's own comment.

  • Well, first you need to define a "person".Then you need to define the starting point and what all environmental features you are considering as zero cost.

    Otherwise, to calculate energy to kill a person, you need to start by creating the universe.

    On the other hand, for a human person, you can either just get a really big syringe and siphon out blood from the heart, or pierce a thin little metal pipe with tactically placed holes, which will let gravity and internal blood pressure do the job. But these require access to a syringe/metal pipe making setup, which has its own energy costs.

  • And here I was considering petitioning for an open source UPI app.Turns out, the Government is just another company now.

  • I feel like they'd be happy installing yet another spying app, if that means getting to keep millions of data providers.

  • Petition to formally recognize open source work as civic service in Germany

  • Perhaps they are looking for an open discussion with affected people, before drafting something for the official channels.

  • Well, how much can you sell a Cantonese speaking dog for?

  • Nah, that'd just be genus-ist.Or maybe generist.

  • Yeah, if you get to a telescope in time, you would also be able to see yourself out in space or 1 whole year.

  • Nice.Now good luck teaching the dog to understand your language. It's brain is already overloaded.And you'll now have to learn Cantonese too, to understand what it is saying (better than no language though).

  • The problem being that if your are out of the country (and you can't teleport back to anywhere else), you now need to explain to the authorities how you managed to get in without a movement record.

    Although it might be useful if you are a local and just need to dodge a bullet or escape a mugging by random teleportation.

  • Hey! How do you pronounce AUR?

    Jump

  • I'd speak it that way to myself.But when telling others, I just go with the safer "A.U.R.", because almost every time I am speaking, it is to someone who is hearing it the first time.

  • Good luck, everybody

    Jump

  • Oh right.Had to look at it a bit longer to realise.The rear light on that vehicle looked kinda like that of a bus though.

  • Good luck, everybody

    Jump

  • It seems like the sun is being reflected off the bus's window.Would polarising glasses help?

    What do you think shapes someone’s views on monogamy and non-monogamy?

    Jump

  • I consider it mainly a point of communication and managing expectations.

    If A wants multiple sexual partners, but also wants B, while B doesn't want their partner to have anyone else, then A can:

    • give up on B and go on with other partners
    • repress their desires in favour of B and not tell B about it. Get married
      • eventually A gets frustrated with B and asks to end their relationship
    • lie to B and get married to them and then go around their backs, doing whatever

    You can easily see the cases where it doesn't work out.There are more cases...

    • B wants A and asks for a relationship. A tells B their expectations. Then you get one of:
      • B represses their desires leading to eventual frustration
      • B understands the incompatibility and looks for someone else
    • B wants A and asks for a relationship. A doesn't tell B their properties and B is working with incomplete/wrong information.

    Either way, the important part is to not fixate on getting a specific person who you only know a little about, just to end up in an undesirable situation later on.But it is also important to convey these things before getting the other to make any sort of commitment or you are just doing the personal equivalent of False Advertising.

  • Why do people hate on cosmetic surgeries so much?

    Jump

  • Function >> Form

    It's useless to paint your skin to make it look like something healthy, when the body's insides are not really so.

    And if I am going to pay an exorbitant amount of money to have an extra layer of skin, it better be giving me +10 slash/pierce resist.

  • S&Box went open-source and the comments are very calm

  • Why don't they just have a FilePath class with an == operator?I've never felt so elated for taking up Qt instead of going with the .NET C# route.

  • RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices

  • I suck at naming anything

  • But that is the reason their search tool is not working. It's probably configured for files, not directories.
