err... I'm finding it hard to understand the meaning of the sentence using the dictionary meaning of this word. Did you mean to use some other word?

Fun to see how this thread stemmed from "no shit".

Students first need to learn to:

1. Break down the line of code, then
2. Ask the right questions

The student in question probably didn't develop the mental faculties required to think, "Hmm... what the 'f'?"

A similar thingy happened to me having to teach a BTech grad with 2 years of prior exp. At first, I found it hard to believe how someone couldn't ask such questions from themselves, by themselves. I am repeatedly dumbfounded at how someone manages to be so ignorant of something they are typing and recently realising (after interaction with multiple such people) that this is actually the norm^[and that I am the weirdo for trying hard and visualising the C++ abstract machine in my mind].

Gives me vibes of a second iteration of the OS writing boom. Though this time, the kernel mostly.

They are having to take on the burden of gently letting down other devs who are angry over a simple misunderstanding.

I feel like, if anyone would be happily willing to do that in their free time, they would have been a Politician or an HR and not a Developer.

I'm pretty n00b as a dev, but if I were to see someone misinterpreting my explanation, the most I would do is rephrase the same in a more understandable manner.
Definitely not going to resort to using "people management tactics", specially not in an Open Source Free Work setting, where the expectation is that the other person wants the good of the project as much as I do ^[as compared to a corporate setting, where if they are getting money to sit and do nothing, they will prefer that].

Facts are more important than feelings, specially when written text is the medium, where the reader can, at any time, go back and re-read to make sure they are at the same page, which a responsible, non-sleepy, non-drunk person would do in such a case.

On this note, I went and re-read the above comment and I realise, the "But that’s the thing where you are wrong." sentence is kinda useless. If the previous commenter were to have read the rest, they would realise that's where they were wrong. Mental note to not use useless stuff like this as the first sentence in a reply, because I probably have the habit

Yes, I know I joined both circumstances, this comment thread and the condition of the Rust Linux dev. It seemed relevant to me.

oooo but you set the selected text setting to exchange FG/BG colour and noww you have white on yellow ooooo

I too, just disable the ambient sensor, but if I had to have one,
I'd rather have one that sends the sensor data to the PC, via an Open Protocol over DDC and let the KDE brightness setting handle the Brightness value decision (which would be easily configurable, of course).

What I find difficult to understand, is that they require said chap to be physically in the country.
Unless said law only works in case the company has a physical presence in the country (which it does, in this case), I feel it hard to get the logic to apply it to an internet service.

Also in Firefox, when using multi-window + multi-tab browsing, if you close a window without closing all of its tabs, you can press Ctrl+Shift+N in a remaining window (of the same Profile) to reopen closed window, which will now have all the tabs that you closed the window with. You can then again press Ctrl+Shift+T on the reopened window to restore its closed tabs.

The catch is that this was freshly minted, unbalanced credit. Meaning, you now have that much money worth of inflation. Have fun with the money you got by reducing the value of everyone's wallet. 😈

This is what your prompt yielded.

It most probably can work directly with satellites, but I don't think some user is going to put the effort into setting up a direct system (∵ high cost), just to use the bloated site, X is (∵ low throughput internet).
