I understand what you're saying, and I agree people should be able to switch as needed. But look at one of the top comments from that link (I swear that wasn't me): "I find query syntax nigh unreadable. It's like someon

LINQ is an interesting example because it exists in two forms, query syntax and method syntax. You might consider these "mini-paradigms". Most users know one or the other. I've rarely met people who are equally proficient

"Think" being the operative word. Paradigms are mental models of computation and organization. The benefit of designing a language around a single model is ease of understanding. The downside is that this locks the developer in

Is this how we use the term "scrolling" now? I mean, I get "doom scrolling", but now just bare "scrolling" connotes addictive attachment to social media on a mobile device? <sigh> Okay, fine.

I've always wished they had called it "simulated intelligence." That would set expectations more appropriately.

Not sure how so many in the thread are using FF problem-free? In the past few years I've encountered more and more sites that don't work properly with FF. Most of the issues are around modals that won't dismiss or even disp

There was a period of time when sites pretty much worked everywhere. In the last five years or so, the number of sites that only work in Chrome was risen precipitously. It's either malice or incompetence, and I have no trouble believi

This was a study of US residents.

It's a slightly archaic usage, but it's correct: repair [1] verb repaired; repairing; repairs intransitive verb 1a: to betake oneself : go repaired to the judge's chambers 1b: to come together : rally [1] https:&#x2

Regression to the mean?

That's backwards. The code is the how, the why is what comments can add.

Mini PCs, not Mini Computers. TFA is not talking about vaxen.

That makes intuitive sense. Now, what's an "expression"?

Oh, you mean the kind of abstract thinking and problem solving skills you develop from reading history and literature and applying them to the events of the day? Yeah, I totally understood that. Still not sure where Calculus fits in, thou

You may wish to get in the habit of saying "people" instead of "men", unless you meant males, specifically.

How does it distinguish between people who know how to do the thing and people who use copilot, but are terrible at their jobs?

All these years I never realized Stockholm was in Asia. While it may be prevalent among Asian cultures, it is absolutely not specific to them. To defend, and even praise an abuser is a common, human , cross-cultural response to abuse. It

Jim Steinman (that composer) wrote a musical called "The Dream Engine" as his senior thesis at Amherst. It leans heavily on the idea of the defilement of youth. After that he tried to create a rock musical based on Peter Pan. Vir

I'm not following your use cases. Why do you need an association database to look for files named .docx or .pdf? I could see it possibly being useful for apps like VLC which open a number of different file types, but then if I used

These market share numbers cannot be right, can they? iPhones represent maybe 20% of smartphones in use, and Macs are maybe 15% of all desktops. There's no way that Apple Mail has 60% of the email market.

Sorry, my "reasonable" interpretation of the name tells me that it's a method to choose the file you want to save. It suggests absolutely nothing about actually writing data.

This thread confuses me, possibly because I'm not a UWP dev. OP keeps talking about the FileSavePicker being defective, but isn't that just a control? Isn't the actual writing being done by the FileIO classes? And doesn&#x

This is interesting, but it would even better if I could see it sorted by descending upvoteRate.

Given that boys are frequently socialized to swallow their feelings rather than express them, I wonder if focusing on SEL for boys will help bridge the gap.

Using the Socratic method is being direct. It's directly showing the junior what their thought process should entail when they're writing code. I don't ask these questions because I get off on sounding superior, or want the
