Well, it's been working fine for me for about 15 years, let's agree to disagree here. I would still find it easier to remember to change the tires at +1°C than whatever the hell it comes down to in Fahrenheit.

I too live in a region with 80 (Celsius) degree yearly variation (sometimes more; the maximum yearly difference I've lived through is about 90 degrees IIRC: -45 in January to +43 in July), and Fahrenheit makes absolutely no sense to me in this climate.

There's very little difference between e.g. +25°C and +26°C, not sure why you would need event more accuracy in day to day life. There are decimals if you require that for some reason.

Celsius works significantly better in cold climates for reasons mentioned in another comment.

What the hell are you talking about. If it's 0°C outside (or below that), I know that it's high time to put winter tires on because the water in the puddles will freeze and driving on summer tires becomes risky. I had to look it up, but apparently that's +32 °F. Good luck remembering that.

+10°C is "it's somewhat cold, put a jacket on". +20°C is comfortable in light clothing. +30°C is pretty hot. +40°C is really hot, put as little clothing as society permits and stay out of direct sun.

Same with negatives, but in reverse.

Boiling water is +100°C, melting ice is very close to 0°C. I used that multiple times to adjust digital thermometers without having to look up anything.

It's the most comfortable system I can imagine. I tried living with Fahrenheit for a month just for fun, and it was absolutely not intuitive.

Unless you're living in the middle of nowhere and the only people you're close to are the ones you have nothing in common with. Besides superficial characteristics like ethnicity and language. These threads are a blessing for some of us.

'ч' reads like 'ch', but I think you've decoded it the wrong way.

I'm pretty sure it's a Signal ID.

I am not even in Russia, but that war pulled so much out of every region, including mine (which did not see fighting directly, but provided many conscripts and resources), that after the war there simply wasn't much to eat or too many people to work the fields. My grandparents first ate caramel candy in 1952, IIRC. Good luck increasing your fertility rates in these conditions.

No I did not, and I have no desire to play the guessing game when it comes to these things. There are lots of FOSS alternatives with no strings attached, or honest commercial projects which don't claim to be something they're not.

This. I wish more users that prefer quite primitive text editors would broaden their horizons and learn at least one proper IDE. It's been honestly quite funny reading comments for the past few years about how amazing e.g. jump to definition is (compared to grepping and navigating manually) like it's some great new thing when we've had it in every IDE for decades (and much, much more). I remember using autocompletion/jump to definition/various refactorings in Borland IDEs back in 2004, and they were surely available long before then.

The level of code refactoring tools available in IDEA dwarf anything vscode has been able to come up with, and I don't see that changing. And it's not just for Java (although it gets the best tooling), they're the best for every language that has any popularity at all. Including TypeScript, where IDEA has a significantly better performing lsp features than vscode.

For example, it automatically finds copypasted code (including cases where variable names and code structure might differ) and can automatically extract a single implementation and generalize it for you with a single key press. If you have multiple classes with similar interfaces, it can extract the common bits into an interface and update the classes to become its implementations. It can shuffle types and methods around for you, automatically updating references (which you've mentioned). Autocompletion for absolutely everything, including difficult cases like e.g. SQL inside a Rust snippet inside Markdown. And much more.

Yeah, just be careful never to respond to your work emails whilst using this keyboard. "Sorry boss, I can't be bothered right now because my keyboard prohibits me from using it for commercial activity." That will fly well.

Yes, laptops without a windows license are pretty popular in at least some poorer countries. Most buyers install windows anyway and activate it via massgrave and friends, which lets you save 40 to 100 USD, which is a pretty big deal.

They're not more "random" than developers of a lot of software you run. Package quality tends to be pretty good, I've only seen doubtful things once or twice in about a decade, and nothing malicious. Definitely haven't seen anything like the famous `rm -rf /*` in the official non-"random" nvidia package that was prepared and then shat into the world by nvidia's non-"random" developers.

This doesn't make it legitimate. You can just activate it through any of the third party kms servers (or massgrave for non-volume licensed versions) and stop pretending you have a legit copy.

Same with those five dollar vl keys people buy off eBay for some unfathomable reason. Pure waste of money.
