Not really? It's not free, it costs 1 to do 3 or 1 rotation, and it costs 2 to do 2 rotations. There is still a challenge because it's still the combination of multiple tiles that makes the full image, you don't necessarily g

Isn't Object itself (and any class) already an optional at the language level? Either it's null, so has no value, or it's not null so has a value, and you can check for null-ness. What more is needed? Seems like the opposite,

This looks very subjective, and in addition also promotes some dark patterns. There was an example where you could see a guitar in full but with some whitespace (with correct aspect ratio, I'm not talking about a later example where it

I indeed don't know how research is conducted in this field, and I'm sorry if I made the wrong point due to that. But we're getting papers with opposite opinions now, so something is very wrong with how it's conducted no

In Kate you can turn off auto complete in the Settings, Editing, Auto Completion tab, or set a minimal word length to complete to something long so it's less likely to appear for common letter combinations but still possible for longer

Personally I like auto suggestions like this, but I never want it to interrupt typing, so it should never grab input when you press typing-related keyboard keys, including the enter key, space and arrow keys which you need to move the curso
