Interesting, I've always experienced everything under the sun depending on specifically adwaita (I don't use any DE).

No it doesn't, as you'd know if you had read it. The linked content is about a KDE program (Kate) having been broken by the negligent (malicious?) actions of Gnome developers. This is self-evidently not something "using KDE a

Hardly a nit when approval voting, unlike _any_ ranked-choice system, isn't mathematically shown to be inherently unsatisfactory.

Ranked choice voting? The one with a litany of famous theorems about how no ranked-choice voting system is satisfactory? (Arrow, Gibbard-Satterthwaite, &c.) Why would one ever want ranked-choice voting? It isn't even deranged in a

That's Rust for you - as much language-level derangement as people hated about 90s Java, but without the memory safety benefits of Java.

You just move the sorts around, you don't get rid of having to have sorts. I guess a rug with dirt swept under it is more aesthetically pleasing than a rug with dirt on top of it?

Using a pejorative is not an "ad hominem".

This is just an empirical question, right? What are the proportions of credentialed elites among all applicants and successful applicants? If this number is surprising, it would mean a lot more to people than any amount of insistence.

Yeah, I had basically the same problem with it.

Double entry bookkeeping is very easy to understand once you ditch the ridiculous "accounting equation". "Credit" means "source", "debit" means "sink". Suppose you invoice a customer 10,000

Negative numbers have no place* in accounting, and people need to stop thinking "oh, credits are just negative numbers" and hopelessly confusing themselves and others by putting nonsensical signs on an unsigned magnitude of flux.

banks are always asking for your mother's maiden name, and you refused only in this one case where it actually made sense to give it?

Sometimes I feel like I'd be okay with all terms of service and privacy policies changing to "We can do what we want, and you can do nothing, forever" just so we never have to deal with Reddit's finest legal minds attemp

It's hardly tinfoil hattery. If it isn't that (and I'm still not convinced by all the above that it isn't) then it needs to explain exactly how it isn't loudly, repeatedly, clearly, and very prominently.

Yes, we've all had or heard horror stories of managers like you who flip out over open and closed ticket metrics. That doesn't make it good practice.

If the bug only exists in old versions that sounds like a great case for marking it "fixed"! (Or possibly a cousin like "moot because this subsystem was deleted".)
261.
by juped 3y ago
There is no valid reason for "won't fix" to be a bug status, even if you aren't going to fix the bug. There's a status for that: "open".

Also the IAU only has as much authority to define "planet" as you give it, and there's not much reason to give it any, especially when the geologists make so much more sense.

True, but people who make sense and people who have effective PR machines are not always the same.

No, there's not. There's the Monty Hall problem and then there's the "can I get away with falling back on claiming the question was somehow wrong after embarrassing myself by getting the Monty Hall problem incorrect&quot

I try to write docs like this. (Not markdown files, heaven forfend, and definitely not a random file in the root, of course, but these are quibbles.) A problem, though, is that many things lack an architecture; they were grown and are a mes

"this thing" is things unexpectedly named after people. "Borders" is an English word not in very popular use as a name; "Borders Books and Music" sounds more like it's of a piece with something like &quo

It's heartening that some Matrix people responded positively to this free QA work; that's something we almost never see.

It's complicated, actually. Usually when you hear this it's about something management or the board or whoever wanted to do anyway.

"copy writers" is the term you're looking for, although it's a broad and neutral term that encompasses perfectly reasonable things as well as SEO spam
