That's what happens when you need software creep to keep your product relevant.

(Who am I kidding - the product is not Office, but Office's users.)

Uh, funny coincidence - to see this when I spent my day there.

"We observed that most of the metals detected came from vehicle and industrial emissions," says the researcher.

No surprise - it's an extremely car-centric city, and it has been like this for decades. And it shows that high demographic concentration isn't enough if people want less cars on the streets, you need to actually design it with pedestrians in account. Add the fact it's a strong industrial pole and here you go.

Breakfast for dinner. Then dinner leftovers for breakfast.

I don't eat beans, soy, peanuts, and most* derivatives of. Without going into details, let's say that my bowels doesn't handle them well.

*e.g. soy sauce and oil are OK, but tofu makes my body scream murder.

The app checks for the update every 5 minutes or when the user activates the app.

Why. No, seriously, why such a short interval? Is your code so crappy that it'll be exploited unless you patch it in the following five minutes??? It's a bloody screen recording program, not a kernel dammit.

Normally, when the app detected the update - it downloaded it and stopped the 5 minutes interval until the user installed it and restarted it.

That's already fucking wrong. Ask the user before downloading the update; don't trample over their control over their own machine. If this shit was coded with user consent in mind the scope of the problem would've been far, far smaller.

The problem with the auto-updater we had was that it would prompt the user to update the app as soon as it became available. This resulted in a popup appearing while users were recording the screen, which obviously provided a bad experience as it interrupted the recording the user was making.

The sensible solution for the problem would be to skip the update check if the user is recording the screen. But no, "if u dun updaet in 5min than haxorz explode you're computer!!@!!!", right.

While refactoring it, I forgot to add the code to stop the 5-minute interval after the new version file was available and downloaded.

And never tested it afterwards.

Write your auto-updater code very carefully.

Even better: ask yourself if that program even needs auto-updates. Odds are it doesn't.

*sigh*

PTB. You highlighted immoral shit done by one of the two governments that the .ml admin team licks the boots of, then you get banned while they lie that you're being a bigot (rule 1), since they have the same transparency as a chunk of charcoal and that makes them too dishonest to list "don't criticise the RF or PCC here" as an actual rule.

There's no hard boundary between expletives, grammatical words, and semantic words. And while plenty words sit strictly in one of those categories, some sit right in the border. That's the case of those four words:

• καί / kaí "and"
• ἐνταῦθα / entaûtha "there, here"
• μέν / mén "so, while"
• οὖν / oûn "then"

Even if they're expletives they're really, really far from that sort of babble-like interjection like "shh", "tsk tsk", "umm", "aah" and the likes, so the student is wrong for translating them as such.

However, the ~~instructor~~ destructor is even worse - he's outright butchering their expletive role, and smearing pedantic filth over what's supposed to represent a casual discourse. "Thereupon" my arse dammit, this is the same sort of clown that translates Catullus with the poetic sensibility of a green potato, or that claims Greeks had weird colour vision.

Personally I'd probably go for something like "There was then a review of Cyrus' army and, so, first the foreigners paraded." It sounds rather close to the original - it's casual, but not babble. (Caveat lector: I'm proficient with Latin, but not Greek.)

Note that ancient languages did represent babble too. In Latin for example you see a (ah), fu (blergh), io (yay!) all the time. Specially if you're dealing with Plautus.

"I'm whatever you aren't, you fucker" - water, to the substance you mixed with it.

If I need to prove something stupid and immoral, and it relies on the assumption that 2+2=5, then 2+2=4 is woke propaganda. Simple as.

Yeah, nah. Your sentence is completely fine. When I read the title I was expecting you to have clipped it midway, without including the most crucial bit of info. (I know someone who does this. It drives everyone around her crazy, so I get why a mod would scold people for doing it.)

The mod is clearly a troll, and the modlog being full of similar occurrences reinforces it. PTB.

Typically I can't be arsed to watch a 21min video, but here's a summary. Reasons he switched:

1. Windows talks to him like he's a baby.
2. The bloat is real.
3. Customisation.
4. gaming on Linux is finally real.

Reason why not switching might be a good idea: you'll likely need to give something up, like he did with Photoshop. (insert his rant about Adobe's abusive practices.)

Most of the video is simply developing on that.

I don't like this guy but I hope this popularises Linux a wee bit. I've seen too many people with false beliefs towards the [eco]system, even without having used it once.

As others mentioned it was rape as "rapeseed". Unfortunate homophone of another word referring to non-consensual sex.

Middle English borrowed the word "rape" (for the seed) straight from Latin, rapum, rapa. The Latin word actually refers to turnips, but they're relatives and their flowers look really similar:

Top is turnip (Latin rapa), bottom is rape. Latin inherited it from Proto-Indo-European *[s]rā́p- "wild cabbage, turnip"; it's a really weird word, that *ā shows it was borrowed into Late PIE from some pre-IE language.

Then the word referring to non-consensual sex was from Norman French "rap" instead. It's ultimately from Latin "rapere" (to seize, capture, rape), in turn inherited from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rep- "to snatch".
