You can have a non-infinite loop without a break statement, you just need a return statement in it. Also for(;;) is much faster to write than while(true).

according to them; but it’s still remarkable that the US federal government uses that name because https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/22/chapter-48 keeps referring to it as “Taiwan” and § 3301 even talks about “the governing authorities on Taiwan recognized by the United States as the Republic of China prior to January 1, 1979”

with these things, I always wonder how different I would feel about them if my first language weren’t German and I didn’t understand what was actually being said; as it is, I need to concentrate very much on the subtitles

Pretty sure “flora” and “flower” are related words, yeah.

yeah but not inside a store :D

What part didn’t work? I use that all the time in IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code.

More people use laptops (or even tablets or smartphones) more of the time nowadays, so fewer people turn on their devices that way nowadays.

yes, somehow people keep inventing less funny versions of that

Maybe they planned to make some changes, but never got around to them or at least didn’t get them to work the way they intended.

I’m too young to have gotten chain emails 30 years ago, but https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/courtroom.quips.html may be from that era too.

In any case, there have been way more people than those two in world history who have had the first name “Joseph”, and it works equally well for all of them.

We native speakers of German intuitively pronounce an audible “g” followed by an audible “n” when reading “GNOME” and find it weird that the ordinary word “gnome” is pronounced with a silent “g” in English. The cognate in our first language is “Gnom”, pronounced with two consonants in the beginning, like the desktop environment.

It has more to do with population density.

then maybe Germany should change its laws to be similar to the one in Austria, where § 89a (3) StVO specifically allows “railway enterprises” (trams are railways) to remove obstacles from the road

That would cause me to miss many interesting threads that were created at a time when I happened not to be looking at Lemmy.

“New comments” it is for me, that causes threads to get bumped to the top as long as other people still find them interesting.

according to the map, apparently: “baja intensidad de cárteles” means (according to my rusty Spanish) “low intensity of cartels”

no, exit codes work the other way round: 0 = success, !0 = error

When I regularly played Need for Speed: Most Wanted (the old one from the 2000s), I often intentionally didn’t escape the cops at low wanted levels in order to get to higher wanted levels. Not sure this counts because it’s basically what you have to do if you want to have fun in this game…

Recently I’ve been playing a lot of EA FC 25, and when I’m already clearly winning (or losing), I usually commit a lot of fouls just because I can.

I remember when similar screenshots circulated for how to tell if i am running jdk or jre, which is even more surprising.

It doesn’t fit very well in this context, the idea behind “beinhalten” is that the subject “includes” the object (i.e. the object is part of the content of the subject), but the #include command in the C preprocessor isn’t about describing that kind of situation, it’s a command “I want to include one file in another”, a better verb in German for that is “einbinden”. (I realize this isn’t a very good explanation, but I’m a native speaker of German and can tell you that no one would use the verb “beinhalten” in this context.)

The previous commenter’s German teacher likely prefers “enthalten” instead of “beinhalten”, which has the same problem in this context though.
