Well, my brain seems to be affected by it according to that test (difference score of 11) if I interpret the scale correctly

But well, I also got autism and quite a few other mental conditions and learned all my life to cope quite well with all my disabilities; that’s why I specifically outsource direction question to a visualization that make the answer more tangible for me than listening to my intuition.

But well, what works for some doesn’t necessarily work for all. And probably my other conditions have some influence on it as well. We’re all different, after all; even if sharing a few traits.

That’s why I explicitly stated local.*

I don’t care which country I’m in and how they are driving there. I obviously visualize cars I grew up with.

E: well, I see how local can be interpreted as exactly the opposite of what I mean… oops

I get that. My intuition often mixes both up, too.

That’s why I trained myself to say “driver-side” and “passenger-side” in my head when left or right come up. To a point where I don’t even have to think about thinking about it. I just visualize which side of car is meant instead of the rather abstract concept of left and right

Might not help you; but it helps me

I always imagine a (local) car, and remember which side the driver sits on

Sorry, was high and missed the point

Because the US taxes it citizens. Regardless where they live

(oversimplified)

the is_even package does not provide much worth indeed because it simply negates is_odd and thereby all its benefit.

It’s dependency is_odd on the other hand provides at least some additional checks (it also checks if the value is a valid integer below the max int value)

And while I would indeed see uses for such methods (especially with the other checks, no simple oneliners) in some cases, especially in testing: This is stuff you write yourself, throw it in a e.g. NumberUtils class and everything is fine. You do never depend on an external library for that. The benefit (not spending a few seconds to write it) does not outweigh any of the drawbacks that come with external libraries.

Defnitely at least half a wheel

FTFY

Guess the difference is what you grew up with and therefore intuitively prefer:

• allegedly american thinking: This baby sucks X gallons. Let’s see how far I can get with it

• allegedly non-american thanking: I need to drive roughly X 1/2 hundred kilometers, and that will burn that much fuel.

Honestly I remebered it as “git out” as well, but that would be semantically incorrect and “get out” seems close enough.

Why is the wrong version always the one that is posted.

The (in my eyes) correct (and iirc original) version is:

• Git commit
• Git push
• Get out*

*as someone pointed out (and I remember it as well, but thought I rembered it wrong and corrected it, shame on me in this context) the last point may be originally “git out”

The important parts are paint and maintenance.

Give a commie block a fresh coat of paint every decade or so and they can look good (though I just don’t like flat roofs. But that’s personal taste.)

But while a somewhat run down european style house can still have some charme for longer (guess I’m biased here) a run down commie block in gray and with cracks in the facade will quickly start to look depressing.

And as they are often chosen for cost reasons inside capitalistic environments, they are often neglected.

So, the problem is not commie blocks, but how they are maintained. And as often we tend to search for the extreme examples if we (dis)like something.

Some people just want to see the world burning

You underestimate my unity with my chair.

Verstörend.

So that’s why they’re never turning around to an explosion (and facing their back to the camera)

have

We germans know that have has no b; our autocorrect just corrects it to habe all the time

I would be more concerned about phantom pain.

Sure, your fried receptors are not firing anymore; but your head may interpret the absence of any sensory input as pain.

I have to admit I use mostly Ubuntu and Mint;

the only drivers I had to install (successfully) were ethernet and wifi drivers on laptops. (luckily bluetooth and usb-tethering always works.

The only driver I never managed to install is the fingerprint reader. But who can expect that a Dell Laptop for 5k€ that is sold by dell with a linux-option has linux drivers for all of the hardware…
