I go back and forth with no real issue -- knowing to use control on Windows
and ChromeOS and Command on macOS. The few times I use a terminal on Linux or
Windows it always seems weird the "standard" copy and paste does not work. I
get why.
What doesn't work?
Terminals use things like Control+C to abort (terminate) a processes. You try
to copy and you literally kill whatever process (app) you are using! Some
processes will thankfully warn you and you do not lose everything, but the
concept is absurd. The UNIX way was first... then Apple used the Command key
(they used to call it the Open Apple key) and then Windows and later Linux
copied the Mac but did it in a way where they used the UNIX keys to do the
wrong thing. On Windows that is not quite so bad, but Linux is a UNIX clone.
Ah, I do copy and paste from command prompts in windows, but I've never tried doing it incorrectly (that sounds German). I highlight and press enter. Paste works as normal. But then I used to use DOS and CTRL-C for "break" is embedded in my head. And the earlier command prompts in Windows didn't allow pasting, so when it came in I remembered the highlight and enter method.
It is not that big of a deal, especially given how being command line it gives
a mental context change -- but why not have it be the same for both?
Also do not like the weird hand calisthenics needed with Control,
though not a big deal.
I press the CTRL with my little finger, and the X/C/V with my first finger. I'd find CMD in the wrong place - next to spacebar isn't it? Too close.
I use my thumb for the Command key... and out of habit do so when on Windows
or Linux, so yeah, I likely am having the issue because I do it wrong. I also
am a CRAPPY typist... the "normal" way uses so many fingers!
Thumb on Command means V is too far for my first finger to reach, unless you have longer fingers than me.
The Command button is right next to the space bar. Z, X, C, and V are right
about it.
Is it true longer fingers and longer toes mean a longer cock?
I only have myself as an example.
I usually do a quick test post before I send in anger (as it were!)
I have been hitting the "send" button as my brain registers an error and
screams "NOOOOOOOO!"
On forums which allow editing, I get lazy and just send, then proofread and adjust it. Sometimes I make so many adjustments, and someone replies so quickly, that they reply to something I've no longer written, or miss out on more information I added.
I have done that.
How many have you been banned from?
A few on Facebook... groups that are supposed to be "debate" or "political"
groups -- but are run by right wingers. All it takes is posting links to fact
checking sites, or scientific sites, to get many right wingers angered.
I keep ****ing off the left wingers (and pro-vaxxers) in imgur. My score is now -220, which apparently is still "neutral".
I tend to fact check things people post. That irks some.
I refuse to spend much time proving an idiot wrong.
I spend too much time doing so.
Speaking of being a crappy typists, I have no idea what error I made, but the
autocorrect changed "irks" to "girls". Um, what?
It remembers how often you use that term and deems it likely, my phone does the same when sending texts. Just what websites have you been using? Better get a VPN or someone like diesel will out you.
I do not type "girls" often, but I do have a VPN. Don't use it much.
I've been silently censored on World Community Grid (one of those science projects). I could post and see my reply, but if I made a fake account and logged in, the posts were invisible. I found them out, sent a very rude email to the admins, and removed all my computers from their research. Censorship is wrong, end of story.
Sneaky of them to do it in a "silent" way.
Indeed. At least the cryptography project admin just said "I won't respond to such a rude question", and left the post there, despite me getting the Large Hadron Collider project admin to argue with him too. They're both getting more of my 90 CPU cores now that I banned WCG.
And, I've found 7 arithmetic progressions of primes! Don't ask me what that means. See if you can explain this like I'm five:
229634460420232057+216066175*23#*n for n=0..21
You found a really, really big number. There are not other numbers you can use
to multiple together to get that answer.
What does the hash signify?
And presumably I haven't found a prime, I've found a sequence of them.
I did some brief looking for the notation and found nothing. I know scientific
notation but that is not it.
