> definitely cannot afford to get on Spotify How so? There aren't necessarily any upfront costs for getting on Spotify; several aggregators offer a "we take a cut of your earnings" model.

One could ask the same thing about `for` and `while`: why not just use `if`s and `goto`s? Because they're convenient and useful constructs. I don't know if `breakelse` is too, but maybe -- especially when part of a `?` operation

I've had emails about a blindness awareness event where the text was all in a screenshot of text. I don't know the state of the art of screen readers, but I have to assume that text is at least _better_. :)

AFAIK, there are no rules limiting what tags you may use -- you can make up your own if you like. And people have. Here's what the kernel git says right now: linux$ git log | sed -nE 's/^ *([^ ]+-by:).*$/\1/p&

> There's no such thing as a "have-debugged-and-contributed-actual-code-to-fix-it:" tag. "Based-on-patch-by:" and/or "Root-caused-by:" comes pretty close, I think. It may seem like a small differen

Compulsory/statutory licensing would be one solution. As I understand it, that's what allows libraries to exist. Music on the radio (at least here in Sweden) is handled through collective licensing, which is nominally optional, bu

Isn't that the whole point of jobs -- making a living? Your assertion makes no sense to me. I feel like I'm missing something.

Machines are not people, and don't enjoy the same rights as us. (And I would not call it "learning", at least not in the same meaning of the word as for humans, but that's a more philosophical discussion.)

Each year does vary slightly in theme and focus, so it's possible you'll have more fun this time if you give it another chance. Or not. But remember that it's never too late to give up. :) My favorite so far is 2019, where se

It is definitely a hard switch to make when you're used to being able to just _write_ what you want, rather than having to go look for the block and drag it into place. :) > If the goal is to ultimately learn programming with indust

Every variable has a checkbox they makes it show on screen: https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/File:Checkbox_to_show_or_h... There is also a command block to show or hide it dynamically.

I guess it's a bit of a philosophical disagreement. In my view: I don't believe a machine (at least not any we're capable of creating) can truly learn . Copilot is a machine working on its inputs. Humans think and create. Ma

My library is long gone, but let's do some math instead. A CD can hold 700 MB of data. 1 TB will hold 1428 full CD images. Of course, not all albums fill the whole CD, so it'll be even more once the audio is extracted to uncompre

I don't think I had any specific reason for picking OpenSUSE, at least none that I can remember. Their Tumbleweed rolling release seemed interesting to me. As for the experience, I mostly like it. There is some re-learning to do (zyppe

Same here: Ubuntu was my first distro, and I've been using variants of it since 2006. This winter, I switched to OpenSUSE, with Ubuntu's insistence on pushing snap on me being the biggest reason.

I am using mbsync with Evolution, and it has worked well for me. Might be worth noting that I'm only syncing in one direction though.

You are technically correct; the best kind of correct. Writing as if they were changes is a little sloppy, though convenient.
