Huh. I was wondering how SE would handle an @ for non-ASCI usernames. Turns out it offers a username prediction for those, but not for any other users in the comment chain. Seems like a strange choice to not just offer it for all of them...

Can check it on this post if you're curious.

@Lilienthal Yeah. Type an @ and you get the non-ascii right away. Pretty helpful since I'd struggle to work out how to find some of those characters if I wanted to mention them.

you can still copy/paste a username to mention it

I'm not sure if that results in a notification for that user.

it still give you the autocompletion, so I guess yes

Greetings

Hola all!

Hola!!

It's Monday again. Why does this keep happening to me.

I know right....Monday's keep coming...

although...the alternative is worse....

IPS is having an election, 5 candidates thus far.

Yup. Hopefully it'll go smoothly.

So far it seems to be infe.

fine rather.

You gonna be voting?

you betcha

you?

There is a really good candidate over there...

I won't name names but she will have my vote.

Have you looked at them?

Yep. Another fresh candidate turned up in the past half hour.

yep, noticed that too

Odd how all of the nominations have the same format - small summary and two bullet lists.

@Snow it is a bit...

probably because the first one did it that way, and the others just took the same form

@Kepotx possibly

IMHO, it's quite clear and goes right to the point, and if everyone has the same format, it's easier to compare them, so overall I think it's a good thing

It also makes all of the nomination posts similar to each other. And if voters don't seriously look at the meta answers, then they might miss something important.

there is still the Q&A post to go further

Also, I hope those who don't have enough information just won't vote

@Snow ding ding ding ding

@Kepotx That won't happen. If people can vote an are aware of it, they most likely will.

@MisterPositive "but they give me a beautiful badge for it!"

@Kepotx that too!

Afternoon everyone

Huh, the square isn't there?

Weird :p

Am I the only one who prefers to use git via the command window versus the UI provided by VS 2019?

@MisterPositive Git on VS(code) is a pain

Anyway, if you're know what you're doing, you don't need a GUI

No, for git I do not

need an editor

that is

there are some plugin to improve the native git interface

I like MINGW64

I like to link git to my IDE to compare files, or to check quickly when was the last edit, but I still use git commands instead of GUI for lot of things

I discovered MACOSX last week with my new job... God help me, I have parting thoughts

I'm not the hardcore anti-Apple that I used to be anymore

(I still dislike it though... but... shudders I think it has some nice features :O)

a lot of apple stuff is overpriced, but there are indeed some great ideas

I have to admit I have an iphone and like it.

Not that I'm a Mac Fanatic.

Apple screwed me over hard way back.

so no more apple products in my home

ever

Android tends to shred my nerves. I never know if any device I buy will be supported by the next major version (or when), and all the apps seem to work in completely different ways. At least with Apple, I know what's going on.

And I don't end up buying a great handset only to find it's been overtaken in terms of CPU/RAM/Camera a month later.

@Snow I've been battling the stupidity of iDevices a lot recently.. was doing fresh setups for friend (recently divorced and all the devices were set up on their now ex-spouse's apple id) and it was just hours of pain and frustration

#LinuxForTheWin

:p

@avazula and to think.. I thought you were cool

Hello @motosubatsu [EEEEEk}

@avazula boooo

I bought 2 expensive iPads for the kids back in the day, only to have Apple obsolete them in less that 2 years....

Could not get any new apps or updates. No apple stuff for me.

It's been an interesting Monday morning

:'(
