This is not Reddit.

Just notational difference other than presence of mutation… How is it harder to understand 3 + 6 + 9 + … + 3n means compared to the for loop? Is repeated addition hard to grasp?

Maybe I’m crazy but they did teach me this in school. “This means so this operation until conditions are met”.

The word "daddy" has been so sexualized to the point to where if I have kids (highly unlikely scenario, since I use Arch Linux), I'll just have them call me "father".

Up and down buttons started off as “like” and “dislike” buttons. That is what it’s always meant, and is likely to continue being how most people use them

Openmindedskeptic , in This meme is good. Is not it?

That’s because people got their words all mixed up. Back in the day, “is not it” would absolutely be the normal way to phrase “isn’t it.”

It sounds weird today of course.

idiomaddict ,

I know this is a really old post, but “is it not” is also the formulation in other Germanic languages, so we can assume that it was the same formulation in old Germanic.

I mean, you practically asked for the downvotes. (Also, if that is truely the intent, then they’ve made some critical errors in UX design)

‘Is it not’ is the proper syntax.

I hope I’ve been informative.

Those aren't spiders. They have 6 legs.

chumbaz , in And then comes the wonderful realm of the BSDs and the OpenSolaris derivatives

What an odd take.

Every dev I know must be terrified of technology as they all use apple laptops. I don’t love apple but they make a pretty sweet *nix laptop for dev work.

lol i swear this dude dropped off the face of the earth.

Andiloor , in How about my social credit now

Dude you can talk shit about the Chinese govt without being racist

Inky , in Random internet people explaining math better then math teacher

This post confuses me. Why would code be simpler than the math notation? Both involve symbolic abstraction of basically the same complexity

hglman ,

Its got to be a relatively small group who knows enough to understand loops and is also afraid of math symbols.

DogMuffins ,

Maybe not so small?

I never encountered these math symbols but for loops are like step 3 in any programming language after variables and conditionals

lol, like 2.5% of the USA are programmers and even if we say twice that number have experimented and taken programming classes, that’s like 1 in 20 people who would even have ever encountered a for loop. This nsf report says ~70% of highschoolers have taken Algebra 2 or a more advanced math course, which is when sum notation is usually introduced. I think 70% is a little greater than 5%!

pythonoob ,

Hi, I’m the problem. It’s me.

deeznutz , in Nani?

Latin: German has 4 cases? That’s cute.
