You'll find that on the external diagram.

In Candyman, the scene where Tony Todd had bees flying out of his mouth were REAL BEES. Todd only agreed to do the scene if they pay him $1000 for every bee sting. He earned $27,000 for that scene in c/interestingasfuck@lemm.ee

Introduces confusion how? Because it doesn't agree with the arbitrary convention you happened to grow up with? Why is your preferred convention not equally objectively bad? I thought Americans were supposed to be the egotists.

I'd love to hear what's objectively 'wrong' with this one. They're arbitrary symbols. If anything, isn't the decimal more akin to a full stop, while a digit separator is more of a pause?

What reputable VPNs these days offer port forwarding? That's a big part of what keeps me on a seedbox.

A Guessing Game in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

C is a little older than namespacing and object orientation. C++ wasn't even a glimmer in Bjarne's eye when these conventions were laid down.

And yes, having to google it is part of the design. Originally C programmers would have had to read actual manuals about this stuff. Once you learn the names you don't really forget so it works well enough even now for ubiquitous standard library functions.

And yet, C was an ergonomic revelation to programmers of the time. Now it's the arcane grandpa that most youngsters don't put up with.

He's absolutely right! He'd be violating a trademark, not copyright.

It's funny, 'bukkake' is not originally a sexual term and retains major non-lewd use in Japan. One of the most common is for dishes where broth is splashed over the entree, as in bukkake udon.

So, gold star for Bobby on this one.

Plus having any rendering engine have a monopoly is terrible for the web long term.
