They are all superfluous if you know how to do quadratic expansion.
Is that all the crab memes you got?
I was half expecting a proper crab meme dump, like in the good ol’ days.
Pathetic.

A few years ago I wondered if there were modern guillotines. I forgot the name of the company, but they had a pneumatic model. Should work in zero gravity just fine.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-DroidEnglish
21·3 months agoI always found this argument funny because how would you use pronouns for someone whose gender you do not know? They. It’s they. E.g. you are given the sentence: Jordan went to the store to buy apples. And you want to ask a followup question regarding how many, you reply: How many apples did they buy?
And that’s not how English was taught to me or 99℅ of the population (including English as a second or third language) 20+ years ago. Singular they was only used for situations where the gender (read as superficially visible sex) was factually unknown. You see a forgotten umbrella and never saw who forgot it: “Somebody forgot their umbrella.” As soon as you only got a glimpse on the person forgetting it you would make a guess about he/she.
They has been used for gender ambiguity in everyone’s lives since grammar school.
If you’re younger than ~30 and from Great Britain, maybe. GB were the first to formalize and teach it like that less than 2 decades ago (if I recall correctly).
People just have an inherent bias towards trans folks and it’s incredibly depressing and sad.
That’s bullshit projection.
I, a non-native speaker, complain about increased ambiguity of the language because of singular they as a personal pronoun and make a proposal about new pronouns for the purpose.
You: Ah, must be transphobe. Let’s ignore everything he said (which doesn’t relate to transphobia at all).
It’s so frustrating not to be able to have a discussion about stuff making a language harder than it needs to be without people invoking transphobia, like, instantly.
But hey, I called it: can’t have a discussion about it and I’ve given up on it.
edit: tiny add-on. I was still taught gender-neutral he and only heard about they later while being discouraged to use it in writing.

3·3 months agoDoesn’t feel like you want to have an honest argument when you ask how far we should go back on a proposal about going forward and don’t address the single motivator ambiguity.

32·3 months agoI criticized singular they/them for increasing language ambiguity and suggested replacing it with something new like xe/xer multiple times. The reply is usually a shitstorm and downvote tornado. I’ve given up on that front.
Also, it feels like there’s a joke about Russian cursive in there, waiting to be made.

But, even in Russian cursive the D and T are much more recognizable.
Is comrade Krasnov sending us signals?

Programming@programming.dev•Stack Overflow data reveals the hidden productivity tax of ‘almost right’ AI code
14·4 months agoInvest in debugging and code review capabilities: With 45% of developers reporting increased debugging time for AI code, organizations need stronger code review processes. They need debugging tools specifically designed for AI-generated solutions.
Or, maybe, don’t use tools that generate garbage code.








Say what you will, but that was an economically viable route to take. I’m still in love with TTD and RCT2.
