Yes, it would be simpler.

We all remember there’s a tradeoff though, right?

Edit: oops, guess I was mistaken, you can use most Unicode but emojis are not valid.

That actually seems even more arbitrary. Like, do they just hate fun?

PHP naming “::” a Paamayim Nekudotayim is also pretty infamous.

When I’m designing shit, I’m pretty zealous about borrowing terminology from anything even vaguely related to avoid this.

I mean, some of the taxanomic divisions do have common names as well - jawed fish and ray-finned fish might come up in that conversation. And don’t forget some of the formal names and roots are Greek as well.

What kind of whale is that? “It’s a whale whale… you know the original whale… the proper whale… the right whale.” There’s actually a paragraph in Moby Dick about this.

Was that the weird chapter that was just a biology lesson, but was also completely wrong?

Lol, I still died half way up my one orb run, so you’re further than me. I save scummed right before Zot:5 and did get it on my second try, but that doesn’t count.

It was a gnoll abyssal knight IIRC. What about you?

Or, there’s fish and we are one, or there’s fish and a hagfish, dogfish or lungfish isn’t one.

I guess we could return to medieval and say it’s based on shape not taxonomy, too, so whales would be fish.

TBF it had been a long standing problem for roughly a half century before this. Specifically birds were the thing researchers tried to identify first, which is probably the reference here.

Do you have the Orb yet?

We don’t hate outsiders, it’s just those dirty outsiders that do! /s

I mean, sure, there’s a grain of truth here. Arabs, and Muslims more generally, tend to be suspicious of Jews because of the history around the establishment of Israel (the relationship was way better than Christians-Jews before that). It doesn’t make this not ironic.

You’re the first I’ve heard say that in a long time.

In the rest of the world, even the West, the picture is more dire. Americans tend to avoid hiring non-Americans, and had early mover advantage on computers and the internet.

Nix is cool. My next daily driver is probably going to be Qubes, which goes in a whole other direction. I bet you can run Nix within Qubes, though.

Guix and it’s accompanying system are interesting to me for basically being Nix with Portage-style user compilation. The system is also GNU Hurd compatible and has a different approach to organising files, among other things.

Another good reason to never let the company’s project become your project.

Not OP, but good to know.

I wouldn’t say baseless. It sounds like it might be untrue, though, and that this is an old rule.

If it’s established precedent like OP said, then yes. Germany is still a strong liberal democracy with rules that mean something.

You know for a fact they would feel more awkward about that one, though. They’re still very sorry.

I’m guessing that was bait, lol.

Edit: Wait, was the logo similar? It was before my time.

It’s a useless fiction for hiring, but highly effective for getting money from the dumber investors.

I mean, just because they post an ad for a rocket surgeon doesn’t mean they find one. At least in the US, compsci professionals do not have any trouble finding work.

Lol, good to know the guys with souped up shitty cars have been around since the early internet.

Now I’m super curious about Gentoo and Portage. You don’t hear so much about compiling your own stuff anymore (probably because there’s less architectures around).

Really, OP might have had the hot one with “unnecessary imports sitting around are fine”.
