To be fair this is not a Reddit thing and it can be found in the fediverse too. I can remember some of such situations where a person just posted wrong stuff but in a very confident way. I was able to prove him wrong later but nobody cared anymore.

Wait… there is a different C than C#?
Because usability. If you have the files down
down1
down2
downxyz
and download
and the user only knows that it was “something with down” it’s best to show the user everything matching “down*” and let the user decide what’s the correct one.
Also I’m not sure but wouldn’t your expression show everything if only one character would be entered?
And again I don’t see this solving anything if the entered string actually contains other characters then what’s in the file (D
!= d
)
Yes one could argue that some form of advanced algorithm or even AI could be used to identify such use case like download and Download but this is programming Humor, not linguisic Humor.
down
matches down*
because *
also includes empty string. Also download
matches down*
D
matches D*
but d
is not matching D*
because D
is a different character than d
.
Sorry, down
is a substring of download
I don’t get your point either?
I don’t get it… “D” is a complete different character than “d” is.
It’s like wondering why “file1” is not opened when I typed in “file2”.
Hey stop being sarcastic! This is a serious programing community here… Wait.
I thought that’s what GIF was created for… Even if the original introduction of it is saying something completely different.
Meanwhile my cat after reading this theory…
I think you misunderstood the purpose of this. This is not for citizens to join it’s an instance for government officials and offices. This is very good practice to prove a account is the official account.
But honestly I have more trust in my government to not exploit on me then I have in meta/Twitter.
Oh man… UK is so f* up right now. Hope times get better for you soon.
If I understood this correct from my interpretation of the dutch server description this is an Instance for dutch government officials.
At least Germany also has such a mastodon instance too for quite a while now. So people on mastodon know that an account there is officially a government account. The BSI (German Office for cyber security) and other offices post there.
This is not an Instance for “normal people” to register on.
What should meta possible change about Lemmy or programming.dev? They have no power here even if we federate with them.
Not a Fan. I’m an enjoyer
And that’s when you remember why you have been an average AMD enjoyer.
I assume she was excited about all the cool stuff you could make with it and found out it was actually just a cake… Would be disappointed too.
Sony has committed official drivers for PS5 controller under Linux. The experience with it is really plug-and-play… just that you don’t plug it in.
Some people don’t like the layout others prefer it. I use it myself on my Linux computer. So I wanted to name this option here.
