  It’s really not, if anything French and English should be reversed. You can generally know how a french word is supposed to be pronounced when reading it (assuming you know how to read French, of course), in English it’s a complete crapshoot

  Francophobia is so funny you know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do non-English speakers learn to code in English, or in their native language?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because some keywords are in English doesn’t mean the code is in English, variable names, function names, and comments could be respectively in latin, Russian, and Klingon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This does not implies that we should never suppress it either

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That implies the bad government will care about following the laws, or won’t change the law or its enforcement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fancy pants⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well a sandwich usually contains its insides way better than a burger, and is also usually not taller than my mouth. Bit harder to cut into a baguette than a soft bun, as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fancy pants⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I generally eat burgers with fork and knife

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deep Time⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A large meteorite

  Is that a copy pasta

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the volume of a cylinder, pi times height times radius squared

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The (local) universe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really good, I played it again recently after not touching it for maybe 10 years, and finally beat the last difficulty in an attempt to prove to myself I’m still not old

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-acknowlegements⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how it is in the USA, but here biologist graduates are mostly women, so I think the implication is that she was being called a biologist (who can’t design experiments) because she’s a woman

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure your boss/manager would proactively increase your wage relatively to the extra work you asked for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quite a poor performance imo, lower than expected⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Is archery not a sport then? Or say, golf?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To all you outside of the US...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct, no comma before the last element if it is preceded by a conjunction (e.g. “et”, that is “and” in English) in French
