And a lot of support, especially aimed to the beginner userbase. Most basics questions a first time linux user will encounter are usually answered to by searching the forum

Ideally two sisters that will play and get along with each other.

As others have said, this is a perfect example of things you can't control. I have had many csts in my life, including siblings that got along well, siblings that hated each other, different strays that got along super well and other that just could stand each other.

It depends on the definition of "color". For us humans, in our everyday life, the abstraction we have in our mind is more meaningful than the wavelength, which is what formally defines a color, but not how we cognitively perceive it

They are not talking about the mathematical definition of color, but how the color is represented in the mental image you have in your head. Think about how a blue wavelength becomes a blue "pixel" in your head. It is possible to imagine other colors? If we could see ultraviolet, what color would it be? Is my blue the same as your blue or what my brain interprets as blue is different from what your brain does?

Translation layers are possibile, but from what I can see, are quite unreliable for games (especially more graphically-demanding), which is not of high importance for Apple

PHP weirdness and inconsintencies never fail to amaze me.

On the bright side, I found my first StackOverflow answer that would fit exactly the same on Linguistic Stack Exchange.

Partially unrelated to the meme, but I find it almost malicious how some python keywords are named differently from the nearly universal counterpart of other languagues.

This/self, continue/pass, catch/except and they couldn't find a different word for switch so they just didn't implement it.

It's as if the original designers purposefully wanted to be different for the sake of it.

Ukraine has been sending drones deep in Russian territories for months, they probably didn't expect this particular attack, they were afraid something was coming and took some general, low cost, low effectivness counter measures.

Try and ask her the real reason why she might be reluctant. "Because they're muslim" is not a really strong argument; "because they are fundamentalist and they might extrange me as daughter or prevent me fron leaving the house if they found out" is a very practical explaination on this compromise she decided to take.

Families are complicated and sometimes shitty, but it's her family and navigating around you and them could be difficult (she might love her parents and want to maintain a relationship with them, or she hates them but relies on their financial support, both options are valid)
