It's not bullshit. Research shows that kids need multiple exposures to new foods before they're willing to accept them. It's important to keep offering foods a child has refused before (without pressuring them to eat them, by the way).

It's not performative. Research shows that kids can need 8-10 or more exposures to a new food before they're willing to accept it. It's important to keep offering foods even if they've refused it before.

I've personally seen this effect with my 2 year old son. Had absolutely no interest in noodles of any kind for a long time, yet we kept offering them, and one day he decided to try them and loved them. In fact, most new foods he eats are a similar story.

99.99% of the time you want to compare by value, which is why languages defaulting to comparing by reference is a stupid default.

Absolutely false: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_fuel#Combustion_by-products.

Please do basic research before making claims like that. That's dangerous misinformation.

SJWs

2012 called, they want their "insult" back. What a joke.

Modern calculators can switch modes between decimal and fractions. It's pretty irrelevant.

Also, someone may do the problem themselves using any number of means that involve decimals. Or maybe they simply prefer to write in decimal. Either way, the program is simply wrong.

Sounds like a pretty legitimate question.

Yeah, honestly that almost looks like straight-up incompetence, like a ton of polling going on.

Erm, it looks to me that there is a project to make them work on Linux: https://openrazer.github.io/.

Also... TBH if a mouse doesn't work on Linux that kind of makes it a bad mouse, IMO. I would just get a different mouse if it was an actual issue. It's not like it's a mechanical keyboard or something.

I have no doubt Reddit is doing shitty things (as evidenced by, well, everything in the last several years), but that's entirely unrelated to what kind of architecture is involved. You can do shitty stuff with regular JS, cookies, etc. on webpages.

I simply don't want people thinking that this is actual evidence of wrongdoing, because it isn't.

Right, and I explained that looks like a very common event gateway kind of architecture, which has many legitimate uses.

Now, it's entirely possible that Reddit is also using it for tracking shit (because of who they are), but the mere fact that an event gateway exists isn't evidence of that. Here's the Wikipedia article on the architecture: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event-driven_architecture.

I know old reddit is not an SPA, but that's entirely the point. New reddit is clearly written as an SPA. Old reddit was created before SPAs were super common, so it uses a different architecture.
