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

  • I really like it when company representatives openly boast their use of AI.

    Makes it easy for me to put in a list of "Do not buy from" companies.

  • Photo being staged is not a good enough way to prove that the subject is not what he is claimed to be.The guy might be hunched forward while actually working and might not be using as many devices, but still might be vibe coding.

    I remember having a staged photoshoot where I was asked to sit with another person next to me on my work computer, acting like I we were discussing something on screen. I ran some fancy stuff on screen for effect.While actually working, I used to mostly talk directly while we both were sitting on our own systems, but that doesn't change the fact that I worked there and had made said fancy stuff before.

    When I read "Quakers", I just recalled Quake III Arena and thought, "that doesn't fit".

  • YAML definitely felt less intimidating to me than XML, when I first saw them.But the YAML examples also had much less information in them than the XML ones.But not having to type all those brackets definitely helps. In case of XML, I am always looking to just get a GUI going for it instead, because typing it out feels cumbersome (I'm from C++)

  • it just had less brackets and <> symbols when they were done.

    Hence making the parser more inefficient than XML?

  • So I looked at the thing and it looked kinda reasonable.

    1. It was a bot and noone is making a scene.
    2. The bot was not telling that to the committer, but to the commenter, who is part of the company owning the repo
    3. The comment in question was, "Good to merge? Test suite passes locally?", which might trip someone as "Test suite passes locally" seems like an affirmative, but the '?' doesn't say the same, so the reader would have to determine whether the commenter typo-ed a '?' or actually meant to put a question, while using the wrong matching sentence form (which I know we are all guilty of, but tends to be fine while speaking, because our tone tells the listener)

  • Arch Linux limitations?

  • how many things do I have to read

    Well unfortunately, when using Arch, you will, at some point end up requiring to read a lot of something.

    If that makes you hesitate, but you still feel like giving it a try, I'd say one good way is, install Arch using the Arch ISO method and go to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide and read that once before and then, while installing.

    • it is very well simplified (simplified by explanation, not by omission)
    • it has handy links for terminology you will find in there, so you won't have to go around finding stuff all the time
    • open the page on another device, that you like reading on
      • read it like you are trying to understand it and not like instructions
    • while reading/installing it, if you realise you can't keep doing that, you have your answer
    • if you managed to install it before getting frustrated at the Wiki, well, know that most Arch wiki pages you will look at, are as good or better than that and you can consider this as another distro you might use.

  • I’ve had Arch get borked, but never to an unrecoverable state.

    gotta love arch-chroot for that.No matter what went wrong or how wrong it went, if you have the time, you can find out. And pretty easily too, as long as you keep some logs.

  • Yeah, everyone (every-app) thinks they are special and deserve a ".place" in ~ because :

    <enter their reason>

    .

    • ssh because "I'm SSH!", similar for gpg
    • npm because "I'm a package manager"
    • dillo because "I am old and can't be bothered to update my dirs"
      • I guess I should send them a patch. It shouldn't be too hard to make that little change.
    • fltk same as dillo maybe
    • .mozilla : "Oh but I AM special"
    • .bundle : There is literally only 1 subdir in it and it is named "cache". they could have just done "~/.cache/bundle" instead

    IDK why you have a .kde in your screenshot. Debian maybe, or a dir remaining from KDE4? I had an old one remaining in Debain after I upgraded.

    • .config
    • .local
    • .cache

    These are what we need to stuff everything into.

    Why return book? Does that have some Blizzard reference?And why would number == 2 ⇒ return false? This is a function for getting true when the number is even, right?

  • not charged for pre-existing damage

    Tech seems fine. I just won't expect that statement to be true.

    The only way the customer has, to know if the damage was pre-existing, is to have their own machine to check it while receiving it, because for a company charging that high for a small amount of damage, I won't expect them to actually try being fair with properly checking for pre-existing damage on checkout.

    Then considering how the amount is significantly greater than what it would take to fix it, the employees might as well be adding minor amounts of damage themselves before scanning it.

  • While at the same time, this is just a 'perception' thing.The user is always downloading all the JS, just not really keeping it in a place they would look at and not having to click a "Download" button.
