That would make it impossible to edit non-ascii strings, like texts in foreign languages. As far as I know, most editors/IDE don't support switching fonts for string literals. It is more feasible for a syntax highlighter to highli

Being motivated to learn isn't equal to being effective at learning. Not all dogs are prone to "understand" what the training is about. Sometimes, they seem like they are eager and ready to engage with your training, but then

I don’t think thinking speed outperforming writing speed is a necessary condition for wanting to optimize the software and hardware. Speed is rarely an issue. I’d say ergonomics, organization of information, and the “feeling” of using the t

If my friend/family is paid to say good things about a brand, I also wouldn't trust their praise of said brand. I mean, I've had a family member sucked into a product selling pyramid scheme, so I have experienced exactly this

If I accept their license on 2024-08-14 to use their software, they can do whatever they want to the license after that, but they won't be able to revoke my license to use the code as of 2024-08-14 under the license present to me on 20

Now that you mentioned pets, it makes perfect sense to me. My cat has indeed never been interested in socks. However, he'll move almost everything else. I still remember the day I had to wear sun glasses to classes, because he hid my n

It always boggles my mind that losing socks in the laundry is such a common phenomenon. A socket is either collected, or left in the machine. There's nowhere else it could go. It's not like a tape measure or a pen that carried aro

My algorithm is like this: 1. Everything has a place; 2. If something is out of place, I put it back to the place; 3. If I cannot put it back at the moment, I put it in my pocket, and goes to 2 after current task is done; 4. If I cannot put

I sort of achieved this by 1) creating a separate profile for a web app, 2) create a Desktop File which points to that profile, with a `--class` option set to the app's name. It seems that the logins are staying for as long as the webs

If `.internal` is for private-use only, they must be resolved by some sort of private or internal DNS. In that case, all domains are free for private-use anyway.

Is there an animal with functional, walking legs, but doesn't have knees?

Well, I'd also expects "boneless wings" to be wings, but apparently that is not true, either. Product naming has become an area where "meaning" is no longer a thing. It's the sad reality where advertisement has

Different students respond differently to such methods. Personally, I dislike, and don't learn well with, the kind of teaching where I'm given a small piece of information, expected to do a task, and repeat over and over again unt

Good points. It never occurred to me that there are situations where recruiters intentionally try to remove legit applicants from the pool.

Back in college, for 90% of the "team projects", I just assumed that I had to do all the work solo, and nobody else would contribute. One of my friend had a 3-person team, and one of the teammate kept procrastinating, and one day

But what's the point of making innocent confess to false crimes in this setting? (i.e. requiring polygraph for job application) I would imagine the entire point of doing a test would be to find out who is innocent and who is lying abou

I can see how pressure would be applied when seeing the machine is leaning towards "lying", possibly breaking the subject's effort to lie. But what would be the interviewer's strategy, if the subjects insist that they ar

My naive assumption would be that giving that order must fall into the realm of official act. How can POTUS command the military, unless acting in the capacity of their Commander in Chief?

I don't quite think the message-doesn't-exist example is caused by "dumbing down" too much. To me, the message "it no longer exists" is not the work of someone who, in trying to make layman understand, overdid

This is stretching my imagination to a point where I don't have any practical understanding of the physics behind it. Would the eardrum be "wiggled" in the same way as a normal mechanical wave? Does the gravitational wave app

The study is about a specific type of eye exercise. The translated English title makes it sounds more general than it is.
