That isn't what they said, and it's probably not what they meant.

What they probably meant was that Nintendo testers use their non-dominant hands to simulate someone who has no prior experience with video game controls. (Though I'm not sure exactly what that would mean. Maybe OP meant they use "backwards" controllers with all the buttons swapped?)

That's not really a good comparison, no. The code snippet is more comparable to a sentence fragment, which more often than not is "gibberish".

For example, taken out of its original context, this sentence fragment from your comment is meaningless:

"that definition, any language"

I could be wrong, but doesn't notepad++ have an option to choose which symbols are considered a part of a word? If it's not notepad++, I'm thinking of xed.

That would help with at least a part of this person's complaints, like the underscore being considered a part of the word. But it kind of seems like they want the text editor to just read their mind, sometimes considering a symbol as part of a word and sometimes not.

That would be a good way to destroy the reputation of your company lmao. Leaving nothing but horrors in your wake. Kind of funny, though, even if it's cruel to everyone who comes after you.

I am curious why you yourself have "blurted out the answer" if you enjoyed the opposite from the article? This isn't a callout or anything, I'm just genuinely curious.

Yes, that's indeed the point being made.

On the chance you might not be joking, "liberal use of" means essentially "abundant use of" in this context.

Because if a baker's oven breaks and they can't provide their service, they cannot charge for their service, and customers can easily go to some other bakery.

Or the people who manually moderate HackerNews just haven't gotten to it yet.

Anyone know why the fuck the comments on the linked site are talking about Kyle Rittenhouse? Did I miss something?

A video about a pretty interesting and ingenious piece of forgotten software. The ingenious part starts at about 48:00 if you lack time or patience.
