Big employer in the uk back in the day would fine your boss if you parked outside the lines. People were pretty attentive to how they parked…

I learnt that when I was about 7 after shouting it at my dad in front of a crowd of people.

Function/Method names, on the other hand, should be written so as to make the most sense to the humans reading and writing the code
Of course—that’s why we have such classics as stristr(), strpbrk(), and stripos(). Pretty obvious what the differences are there.
But to your point, the ‘intuitive’ counterpart to ‘zeroth’ is the item with index zero. What we have is a mishmash of accurate and colloquial terms for the same thing.

Most humans wouldd never write the word first followed by (). It absolutely should have been zeroth(), and would not cause any confusion amongst anyone who needed to write it.

This Antex is about 30 years old, has a heat resistant cap and is still going strong :) Don’t know what they’re like these days but I’d recommend on my experience.

Quite right. XBumpick 2.3 was only ever released in the US, after ‘the incident’ back in 1996.

lol! There’s such a mix of people being genuinely helpful and people telling me the joke is past its sell-by date. But I hadn’t come across reflector before and will definitely give it a go—thanks :)

Thanks—I am running the zen kernel because I didn’t really understand the question during archinstall, and have added an AUR helper but still no lack of joy.
I’ll definitely give this a go—probably on Friday afternoon.
I’ve been using Arch for just over a year on my older Dell laptop, and have been regularly running `sudo pacman -Syu` but not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah, backups are useless unless you restore and test regularly. But it’s one more step of admin that few people / organisations do sadly.

They are super cool and super territorial by all accounts. We were in a pop-up pub in a field and this guy kept coming to sit on our hands. I guess we were in his spot…
I saw [this](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/10187641) comment which included a link to a crosspost in a different community. When I open that link, I see the post and the top of the view has the community name with menu. But I seem to be able to do everything (subscribe, favourite, block, read the sidebar) except just ‘open’ the community to see other posts. Am I missing the right place to click / menu entry?
Don’t know if this is from the most recent update but I just saw this post and it doesn’t show the image in the feed—just a grey placeholder box. Opening the post shows the image. https://feddit.uk/post/11005731
Google classify their own security alerts as spam. Or they just can't be arsed with sorting out DKIM.
I got a reply to a comment in what’s become quite a bit post (≈150 comments). Clicking the message in the inbox goes to the post comments but not to the reply. It seems to go to a slightly different place each time I open it. I saved the original comment I’d replied to, and navigating from my ‘saved comments’ does go to the right place.
This is an assumption on my part, and may have other explanations. I’ve noticed sometimes the feed ‘jumps’ down a post while scrolling, and I’m assuming this is due to a background feed update combined with a sort order that puts a new item _anove_ where I was currently scrolled to. If that’s the case, having an option for manual refresh only would be great. If that’s not it, there might be a bug somewhere but it’ll be hard to find I guess, as it happens quite rarely.
I find the high contrast cards in the main feed a bit hard on my eyes. I’d like to reverse the back card background and the grey page background, and maybe also dial down the text colour a bit. It would be fab to have RGB colour pickers for those kinds of elements.
Sorry, can’t quite remember if you’d mentioned this already, but it resets to Hot if you force quit and restart the app.
Direct messages in the inbox tab always show as ‘unread’ and there doesn’t seem to be a way to clear that. They also don’t show the name of the other person you’re messaging (seems to show _my_ id instead). It would also be great to link to their profile so you can find their posts / comments easily.
Not sure if I’ve got the right expectations here, but for me, changing the sort ordering on All or in a community seems to have no effect. I also just turned off ‘Hide Read Posts’ and yet refreshing the feed still hides those I’ve read. Sometimes quitting and restarting does seem to change the sort order, but I’ve also seen it come back still showing the previous ordering. Are there known problems with sorting / hiding, or is this news?
Skype pretty much always stuck like this.
First, please let me know if you’d rather these be elsewhere—new to Arctic but really liking it. I’m on a quest to find the perfect Apollo replacement since leaving ‘that place’. Arctic is so nice and close I know this is nit-picking now. But the image view was practically perfect in Apollo and just a couple of tweaks if they’re possible would bring that joy back. First off, hiding the phone status bar and action buttons on first open—just the image, scaled to fit. For zooming, double tap to zoom in is great, but Apollo had single tap to zoom out again which combined with swipe to dismiss made getting back to the feed almost a single action—effectively a double tap with drag on the second tap. It was so slick. The action buttons don’t currently show / hide on single tap when zoomed in so I don’t think that change would break any existing functionality.
Opening a post and saving it using the middle ‘save’ button, then returning to the feed still shows the swipe left action as ‘Save’ (rather than ‘Unsave’). Likewise if you save via swipe then open the post and ‘unsave’, the swipe action does not flip and still shows ‘unsave’.
Also just noticed that the very top post in a feed goes ‘dim’ as if it’s marked as read when scrolled off the top of the view, but then pull to refresh reloads it as unread. Opening the post to mark as read and then refreshing hides it as expected (I have hide read enabled).
At least, I consider this a bug… :). It seems the scroll out of view trigger fires no matter which direction you scroll, and I think it should be only when scrolling posts ‘up’ off the top of the view. For example, scroll a post until you can just see the first line of its title then scroll it off the bottom again. It will be marked as read when in fact you’ve only seen a few pixels of it.
Apologies if this is old and I can’t find it. I’m making the move (somewhat reluctantly) from Memmy, as I think development has stopped there which is a shame. Arctic is the closest I could find, and has a couple of key features like mark read on scroll that I really like. But I’d love to see the community name _above_ the post—gives good context for how to treat what you read in the post title, etc. I find I’m having to scroll down first then back up to read the content. I couldn’t see an option anywhere for that—is it possible?
