That’s a bs reason, email paywall bypassing is so easy that it could just as well not exist.

As someone who works with both, readability is the utmost important thing for me, and XML is cumbersome and has more characters to sift through to find what I’m lookin for.

They do, but less than when it fucked them over. And only at the terminal in restaurant.

The McDonalds thing was simple. 90 cent burger, minus cheese, was -10 cents. Or something along that way. Basically the “hold the cheese” value was fixed but they forgot some items with cheese are piss cheap.

It came with either Windows 2000 or XP.

When you realize 90% of programming is reading, then you’ll end up embarking on a journey to make code more readable. At some point you fall in love with ligatures.

I put all those in different files

compont/functions/foo.ext etc.

It still works. is_this_thing_some_thingy. Is is just a prefix for if the suffix returns true/false.

This is one solution to the issue, and it seems silly you are being downvoted for it.

Google became what it became, and years of seo optimisation cat & mouse play has reached new heights. Those obviously target Google instead of their competitors for now.

Would that we could have perfect search results, it would be beneficial to google as well.

Studies show that ligatures improve readability, but I acknowledge that it’s likely untrue for outliers.

Do you also get surprised when you backspace a tab and suddenly it removes more whitespace than 1 characters worth?

Or did you learn it fast and really never think about it?

I think it’s more a “getting used to” thing, that once learned, you don’t think about, but it makes things more readable.

I mean, we read code more than we write it. You just vomitted over something that increases readability. Maybe a time for a rethink?

You don’t have to believe it - everyone still knows you are. Time to wake up to reality. Everyone has access, the method of access isn’t discriminating, nor do you have any say in it. In other words, it’s public, free for all, and the way they set it up.

If you don’t like the free service, don’t use it. It not being how you like it isn’t wrong in any way, that’s your problem.

You can’t claim shit about equality for all and access without materials, when discussing byod. Make up your mind.

Everyone has access, byod is covered for 99% as extra convenience.

You aren’t being treated poorly, instead, you have unreasonable expectations. You need to adjust those. You are not a victim, nor were you rights violated.

You tried to circumvent security when the computer room was closed.

The librarians education most likely doesn’t cover anything more than turning things off and on, he/she isn’t likely to understand what you were doing, and the equipment isn’t maintained by the librarians - it’s simply located there.

Data persists both in the cloud, or on a memory stick. Free options exist.

Everyone has access, phone or not, just not when the PC room sometimes is closed due reasons.

You don’t have 24/7 access rights as far as I’m aware.

The great majority of developers never contribute, that’s a false expectation. Majority of programmers work in the private sector and use local git hosts/solutions instead of GitHub.

Again, expecting those devs to not use git because of one hoster, is a ludicrous idea in itself.

It hasn’t. There are literally thousands and thousands of developers using Git daily without having nothing to do with GitHub.

You are entitled to your opinion, but that’s a fact. What MS does or doesn’t, with GitHub, has no effect on these devs. You can see how egregious it is to read a random person sayint we should stop using a certain tool, because Walmart also uses it? Jeesh.

I self-host GitBucket, and honestly your reasoning behind giving up arguably the best version control application, just because of one hosting site, is downright ludicrous.
