I’m old, Gandalf. I know I don’t look it but I’m beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin… sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.

Does whatever country this is posted from not have a minimum wage? Screenshot says USA, I thought they did have one?

A workaround doesn’t excuse terrible design!

Are you arguing that it’s good design to have invisible characters behave differently or am I missing your point?

Do all three of them still treat tabs and spaces as functionally different? If so then they’re all in the bottom category.

Same in Summit. I guess there needs to be a standard that everyone follows, because currently I have a client which automatically handles normal other-instance links, and these link helpers actively break it!

As if an exe could truly understand unix socks

I suppose technically yes, but not in normal conversation (in Britain at least). It’s not like it’s completely nonsensical, but to us school is primary and secondary education, higher education is university; they’re distinctly different things and saying “gets kicked out of school” would be way less ambiguous.

Yeah but that can be done after you’re finished, definitely shouldn’t be part of planning!

Is “blackout” a bingo term for filling every box, or just falling unconscious from overwork?

Americans call uni “school”

Also I wonder how it handles reposts, i.e. the same link multiple times in one community

A long time ago I worked on a project which had all the user-facing text strings in their own separate file (for ease of translation). I didn’t think much more of it at the time, but even if I was just rubber-stamping this PR then seeing that a code-only refactor was touching the strings file would raise an eyebrow.

Same principle as a former burglar who now installs security systems or a former soldier who now works as a bodyguard. You’ve got the skills, you just want to use them in a different way!

I think Summit can do it too

!cybersecuritymemes@lemmy.world

That was actually the first line of C I’ve ever written so there’s no way I’m guessing the right number of escapes, but I guess I’d cheat by finding the value of each char and printing those one at a time.

Fine, system("bash -c 'echo hello world'"); then!
