I guess “so nothing”. The model is fundamentally broken. Adding a third dimension to certain cells by giving them a new type (‘tuple’, ‘list’?) whilst also having multiple sheets that aren’t (really) addressable is a disaster for the semantics.

Same thing

Some cultures are better than others

> But then I didn't say they were?

Is that a question?


Thanks for asking, NuclearPM. It was not actually a question. In informal English a question mark can follow a plain statement, where then it indicates a non-specific uncertainty. In the case above, the sentence could be interpreted generally as: “I didn’t say they were... and I'm not sure what gave impression I did" or "I didn't say they were... I think you misinterpreted."

Does that make sense?


I fucking love how the fact that English is totally, totally, literally non prescriptive breaks engineering type people’s brains.

Perfectly fine use of colloquial commenting?

Yes.

Against the ‘rule’ you were taught in primary school English? Also yes.

That’s why English is so interesting.


English be like this man. It's everything all-in-one. Fascinating language I tells you. Much like all other languages which be fascinating.

I would argue against the siblings and say, yes, it's a question; it's a shortening and softening of the rhetorical "But then I didn't say they were, did I?"

Tongue?

In this sense, it's a synonym for "language". Usually used as "mother tongue" (meaning, the language one grew up speaking).

I like the idea of this, but PHP is such an ugly language.

Musk, Ellison, Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos.

Even though they have some money their wealth is trivial compared to the generational transfer.

Trivial? Sounds like bootlicker-talk.

Top 5 billionaires ≈ bottom 40% of Americans — roughly 135 million people.

(The bottom quarter of households have essentially zero or negative net worth, so most of that $2.2T sits with people in the 25th–40th percentile range. It's an estimate — the Fed doesn't publish fine-grained slices — but 5 people vs ~135 million is about where it evens out.)


Agreed completely. (This reply took me 0.4 seconds to generate.)

Real?

mimo 2.5 has been a big underperformer since shortly after it's release imo. i cancelled my sub after the first month. purposefully using 2.5 right now is just handicapping yourself for no reason.

I understand now. You used the wrong word.
