TBF the last two bullet points are verbose descriptions of the thing it means in C++, Java, and Python too. It’s just that in JS, “this” can also be used in other places.

But yeah, in practice, every time I write JS I want to throw my hands in the air and shout “this is bullshit”, but never know what “this” refers to… :D

On a German QWERTZ keyboard too, μ is the only Greek letter you can easily type (altgr+m) and I’m pretty sure this is because of micro units.

according to https://dot.kde.org/2009/11/24/repositioning-kde-brand/ “KDE” no longer stands for anything

even that would not be false, plenty of KDE software can run on Windows 10

(remember that “KDE” is the name of the community, not of the desktop environment “Plasma”)

The screenshot in the OP is KDE Plasma I’m pretty sure.

True if these are installed, but if I’m on a server’s command line they probably aren’t.

OK I’ll bite, how do you get rid of a literal ~ directory?

I mainly code Java with IntelliJ.

• it doesn’t AFAIK have an integrated browser or if it does I have never encountered it ❌
• I have not seen it crash a lot and certainly not for the stated reason ❌
• if autocomplete isn’t working, that is a sign something about the build process isn’t set up right, so other things won’t work either ❔
• basic settings being buried deep in the menus is definitely a thing ✅
• if it underlines something, that has always been an error, I think it calls a real Java compiler for this ❌
• freezing at critical moments can occasionally be a thing ✅

Harder here than on centralized platforms because everything you posted here has been copied to other servers which might ignore your requests to delete things.

most software isn’t public-facing at all (neither open source nor closed source), it’s business-internal software (which runs a specific business and implements its business logic), so most of the people who are talking about coding with AI are also talking mainly about this kind of business-internal software.

If you want to enforce that, you need to fork it and put a copyleft license on it. This is very rarely done because it’s more work to maintain software than to write it…

They can change future versions to that, not already released ones.

works for me

if you can post text, you can post base64-encoded data, incl. images

IMHO messages from things you’ve signed up to are unlikely to be “spam”. I’ve always understood that word to mainly mean completely unsolicited messages from people you have no previous relationship with at all; though if it’s clearly unwanted it might include some of the former too.

What would “selling Chrome” even entail? The vast majority of Chrome’s source code is free and open source software, i.e. it has no owners. Does the US government want Google’s developers of the Chromium codebase to work on another company’s payroll instead? Do they want Google to be prohibited from distributing a browser based on the Chromium codebase? Have they given any of this any thought at all?

“Mastodon” is probably not doing that, a specific instance might be though?

If you click around a bit more in that documentation, you can see that that isn’t an enumeration of genders, it’s an interface for answering the question which gender any given name belongs to. (For example, “Andrea” is understood as exclusively feminine for German speakers, but it’s a common male first name in Italy.)

Not possible with OsmAnd, if you want to edit geometry you need a full featured editor. For Android one option is Vespucci.
