So it’s just an arbitrary restriction as a “fück you” to people using FF

Places that have specific security concerns with people being able to get away from the building fairly quickly seem to mandate backing in to the parking spots in my country.

Reverse in? Like everyone should basically do anyway?

There’s always machine code, just writing numbers for the functions of the CPU. Or you have Esoteric programming languages like Brainfuck that doesn’t use any words at all, it’s just very simple instructions. There’s Piet, which is a pixel colour based programming language.

To be frank; no programming languages are based on English, they are all based on logic. They are most often expressed in English, but there’s really no reason one couldn’t have a translation layer for every programming language. But that would make it a lot harder to find the solution if you have some fairly niche problem. Having everything in one language is simply more efficient since it doesn’t fragment the questions and answers.

But a quick search gave me https://analyticsindiamag.com/6-popular-non-english-programming-languages/. The simple answer to your question thus is; No

I don’t want blu-rays, I want DVD. Less anti-consumer stuff going on there (although not for lack of trying, just a bit less technical know-how at the time it was made).

It’s a reference to monetary compensation often given to high level executives in large companies for when they leave for some reasons. Usually if the leaving is on a short short time frame as opposed to finding a new position they leave for voluntarily, although I don’t know that much about how they actually work.

Is that that thing where someone says something wrong to get the right answer explained to them?

I kinda think that the IP address is public information when you go to a site still. Since it’s needed to get data back to you and you’re requesting to get data back. But maybe I’m just a bit too old and stuck in the thinking of the phone book and such.

I believe the GDPR doesn’t require quite a few of the things in that law unless the company is above a certain size. May have something to do with that.

To be fair, depending on your interpretation of “shady” I’m pretty sure you can find a lot of laws most people wouldn’t describe someone ignoring to be doing anything shady. ( I think that sentence should make sense)

Are they? I would have thought that the IP address of someone accessing a site is public information.

Yeah, that was about what I thought it was…
Same with the attempt to make people call pedophiles "MAP"s instead. (For those who haven’t been made aware of the abbreviation; it is meant to stand for “Minor Attracted Person”. While it’s a more broad term than pedophile, since it includes the other age ranges (Something like hebephile and such, I don’t remember them all, learned about it from a joke a comedian told), for normal conversations I think pedophile works fine for talking about everyone attracted to people below a certain age of which we (society) deem them capable of consenting to some things)

Spell checking doesn’t help with that either, since it actually is a word. Though with the amount of people I see use “payed” instead of “paid” and the dictionaries being mostly descriptive instead of prescriptive (as far as I know) it’ll probably end up being a recognized conjugation (is that the right word?) of that version of “to pay”

Oh, like in gacha games? ;P

I think it makes logical sense that acronyms are initialisms, since initialism just implies that it’s formed from the initials, thus all abbreviations formed from the initials of the words are initialisms, while a subset of those can be pronounced as a word and thus can be called acronyms. Personally I think it’s very important that things are named such that one can logically deduce their origin and meaning.

Is… is that a pedophile advocacy group?

I think you should see about paying a ship.

Maybe engineering used Windows 97?

I salute you. Not many that are willing to do so. Maybe because most people don’t have very deep convictions on using FLOSS. It is easier to just do what everyone else does, after all.

Oh, damn, I forgot that part when I started to write my reply. D’oh!

I still believe that one can get by without using them if one is using a personal PC ( ;P ) for work. Then the only important thing should be if the input and output of ones work is correct enough. Now, if the company is supplying a PC with specific software they want you to use I think that’s different, because then it’s not about you any more. If you get a choice when it comes to work you’re lucky IMO. Would’ve been great if it was normal that people got to choose, but that’d probably be too much work for the IT department compared to just making everything the same.
