Sure, it would have, but I was following the time-honored tradition of reading only the title and the Lemmy comments without clicking through to the full article. If that comment hadn’t been there, it is possible that my intrigue and confusion would have been sufficient to make me betray my legacy and bring shame to my family by actually reading the linked article. Disaster avoided!
Oh, thanks, I needed that to understand what this was talking about.
My university recently switched most of the student enrollment and stuff to SAP, even though they had a very nice system that was launched only a couple of years prior. SAP is so awful, my god. Apparently the switch was mandated by the government or some crap like that. I’m honestly baffled.
I definitely do for quick scripts, but I try to break this habit. The biggest advantage of def main() is that variables are local and not accessible to other functions defined in the same script, which can sometimes help catch bugs or typos.
sqlite is technically just one C source file, so that’s definitely a script.
I’m not sure that it is Cinnamon, but Cinnamon does let you put things in the middle of a panel, so it’s pretty easy to make something similar to that.
If the installation set up updates using apt, even if it uses a separate repository server, then Update Manager should still update them. I have personally seen updates from third-party sources show up in Update Manager. For example, I’ve installed Proton VPN using these instructions and it does receive updates using Software Manager.
If you installed Mullvad using the “Ubuntu/Debian” instructions here, then I think it should get updates through Software Manager, but I haven’t tried this browser myself.
For any other software, it depends on how it’s distributed.
Yes, but the language/compiler defines which characters are allowed in variable names.
Embedded for convenience:
I think they meant shoot in like a friendly way. You know, happiness bullets!
The proposed time zone is to drift about 1 second every 50 years. I also suspect it wouldn’t really be a time zone in the same sense as the time zones we know - it would just be a standardised calibration reference. Dates and times expressed in “moon time” would probably just be some leap second off of a known Earth time zone, and because it’s mere seconds over centuries, I think the only use of this time zone is to calculate ultra-precise time diffs between two earth datetimes when the observer is on the moon. At least, that’s how I interpret the articles I can find about it.
Just a nitpick: the version will let behind in all Debian-based distros, there’s no “may” about it. Any software that is still receiving regular updates will have a much older version in the distros’ apt repositories, often even several years old. It might still be fine - apt is a good example, the old version can almost definitely do everything you need - but it’s important to be aware of this.
