More people use laptops (or even tablets or smartphones) more of the time nowadays, so fewer people turn on their devices that way nowadays.

“Government computing” is way too broad a term for there to be a standard for it. There are many open standards for many aspects of computing, and adopting them is obviously a good thing, but every institution has different needs.

Well, for most real-world programming languages, you do have to teach syntax. You do not have to use the word “syntax”, you can call it something else.

Obviously there are things like Scratch that are intended for your exact use case.

I don’t think you need to use the word “syntax” at all when teaching anyone basic coding. There are many ways to paraphrase the concept. It is kind of an odd question, why that specific word?

In any case, the IPA above doesn’t seem “unpronounceable” at all to me as a native speaker of German and fluent speaker of English. The pronunciation isn’t intuitive from the spelling, that is quite a different thing from being unpronounceable.

yes, somehow people keep inventing less funny versions of that

Maybe they planned to make some changes, but never got around to them or at least didn’t get them to work the way they intended.

I don’t use one except for work (to connect to corporate networks).

A VPN mostly changes which entity you have to trust (from your ISP to your VPN provider). I don’t have a reason to distrust my ISP any more than any VPN provider. I don’t have any need to regularly get around any geoblocking.

When I do privacy-sensitive things, I use Tor, which is actually effective at hiding who I am and what I am doing.

One problem I can think of with the idea of legally requiring browsers to do anything at all is, how does this apply to hobbyist open source browsers? Will it be illegal to start developing a new browser in public unless it already has this feature?

What’s the difference between USA and USB?

One connects to all devices and accesses the data. The other is a hardware standard.

Some people may not have known this. I didn’t know until now that there were other producers of that CPU architecture.

I remember when similar screenshots circulated for how to tell if i am running jdk or jre, which is even more surprising.

It doesn’t fit very well in this context, the idea behind “beinhalten” is that the subject “includes” the object (i.e. the object is part of the content of the subject), but the #include command in the C preprocessor isn’t about describing that kind of situation, it’s a command “I want to include one file in another”, a better verb in German for that is “einbinden”. (I realize this isn’t a very good explanation, but I’m a native speaker of German and can tell you that no one would use the verb “beinhalten” in this context.)

The previous commenter’s German teacher likely prefers “enthalten” instead of “beinhalten”, which has the same problem in this context though.

nederlands ees nur duits met veelen dooppelbuuchstaaben, ooder?

Do you have a link to a source for this?

and if you extend the graph to before 2006? ;)

Notepad: Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. Or if you like terminal windows: https://github.com/microsoft/edit

Paint: https://www.pinta-project.com/ seems to have Windows builds.

Calculator: https://qalculate.github.io/ is the best I know of.

That is the opposite of what this thread is about.

you’re the reason why threads like this exist: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/39307559

your first sentence not all verbs :D
