I think anything after (whichever grade your country introduces fractions in) should exclusively use fractions or multiplication with fractions to express division in order to disambiguate. A division symbol should never be used after fractions are introduced.

This way, it doesn’t really matter which juxtaposition you prefer, because it will never be ambiguous.

Anything before (whichever grade introduces fractions) should simply overuse brackets.

Money makes getting regulatory bodies to approve stuff scarily easy

Germany is when your ISP sells you1GBit/s for 100€ and then your house has DSL cables inside so you can effectively only use 300MBit/s of it.

Not to sound insensitive, wouldn’t keeping a checklist in a text file/note/etc, then copying it when you want to check it off completely fulfill your requirements?

Depends what the EU investigation ends up at. They’re known to take decent chunks at least.

Only within the same century, which is an issue for those of us born last millennium (or managing systems from that time), and could be a real problem in 50-ish years when we could get the first duplicates.

Better to stick with YYYY-MM-DD for alphabetical sorting

If you want sandboxing, isn’t firejail pretty exactly what you’re looking for?

I think it’s born from a misinderstanding of infection statistics, especially back when windows was also more popular on servers.

It is pretty exclusively a file scanner, but that, combined with Linux’s privilege separation, any decent firewall and not willfully executing untrusted files is enough for most cases, I would say.

why does linux not have an AV?

I can recommend running ClamAV, if anyone is looking for a good one that runs on Linux.

Because… They are? Whenever there is a problem in Windows itself, they release an update to fix that ASAP.

Defender doesn’t just work against viruses that exploit weaknesses in Windows. It also works against viruses in programs the user installs. The purpose of Defender is the same as any other antivirus software, to detect known virus signatures in downloaded software, as well as attempt to detect programs that display virus-like behaviour. It also attempts to ensure that users only install software from sources they trust. For these purposes, Windows Defender is at least as good as most other antivirus software on the market.

I would also generally recommend using an antivirus program on a Linux/OSX machine, unless you really know the risk you’re accepting by not using one. Even then, I recommend occasionally running ClamAV or a Malwarebytes scan. There is a misconception of “there are no viruses for non-Windows platforms”, but the thing is that a lot of viruses these days are cross-platform compatible, and all it takes is one program or dependency becoming an infection vector. Keep yourselves safe, people!

That sounds plausible, but still really weird. At least now you have an idea what happened

Were you on the right time? Remember, with the DST switch they change to the other two-hour pattern (i.e. every meta that was at odd hours is now at even and vice versa).

Amnytas works fine for me, so if it is a bug it’s low-occurrence.

Possibly, I haven’t tried ff14, but I personally always feel more frustrated when I feel like my choices don’t matter than I do being railroaded through a mostly good (and sometimes great) story.

I just want to point out here that asset reuse is not a bad thing. It’s just a freaking smart use of dev time. The time it takes to create and rig a proper model, and then add textures that don’t look weird is way too long for the release cadence ANet is going for with the team size that they have.

People always point out asset reuse as a bad thing and I don’t get why that is so high up people’s list for some reason…

I mean, that’s just the way an MMO needs to be with its story. Choice, if present at all, needs to be extremely limited to make open world design possible and to keep the scope doable.

In GW2, the tradeoff is that we get awesome meta-events, raids, etc. all because all of our characters making mostly the same choices.

Whelp, good to know. What a mess. Seems like an easy fix too.

So what I get from this is that some people need to be forced to write decent commit messages.

Echoing what others have mentioned, commit messages need to document why something was changed and put it into the context of the project. You should do this even for private projects, just so 1) you build good habits and 2) if you let the project rest for a while you don’t need to figure put everything from the start again.
