I can't see how the force on his arms can become larger than his body weight, which he should be able to hold up?

Other than that, I perfectly agree that this guy ded

Possibly a poor translation from my side: I'm referring to the "head office" of the university, i.e. the group of people under the direct leadership of the principal, who have the highest administrative authority at the university.

A professor at my university tried that, but the students quite quickly made a huge fuss, got the principals office involved, and the universities lawyers informed said professor that what she was doing was illegal, and that she should stop before she got any more trouble. She stopped.

Drake is fucked, because Kendrick has already dropped the Mr. Morale album, where he raps about his own shortcomings and relationship issues and how he's worked to fix them. Whatever Drake says about him, it's something he's already been open about working to fix.

Drake on the other hand is just dumbly denying that he's done stuff everyone can see that he's done, or just not addressing what Kendrick is saying at all.

This put words to thoughts and feelings I have had for a long time, but have not been able to express accurately. Thank you, well written.

Some languages - specifically Norwegian that I know of, don't have separate words for "boyfriend" and "girlfriend". In Norwegian we have the word "kjæreste" which can be directly translated to "dearest". To me it always feels a little weird to use "boyfriend" or "girlfriend", i guess the same could be true for other non-native english speakers.

One of the beautiful things with the fediverse is that I've just created an alt account on another instance, so I can

1: Reduce the load on lemmy.world servers

2: use the alt account if lemmy.world is down

In Norway we have the stereotypical Norwegians "Ola Nordmann" and "Kari Nordmann". Ola and Kari were quite common names a couple generations ago (not so common now). "Nordmann" literally translates to "Norwegian [person]", but is also a not-too-uncommon last name.

We typically talk about them if we're describing something or some situation and what the stereotypical Norwegian would do/think.

Don't know about Saturday, but "lørdag" comes from the Norse word for "washing day" because the vikings were surprisingly hygienic for their time, and bathed/washed themselves once a week.

I definitely agree that breaking best practices in a way that could lead to UB or hard-to-find bugs should give point deduction. The sole requirement shouldn't be "write standard compliant code".

However, a test does not simulate a real-world development environment, where you will have time to look through your code with fresh eyes the next day, and maybe even have someone review your code. The only thing a test reasonably simulates is your ability to solve the "thinking" part of the problem on your own. Thus, deducting points for trivial stuff that would 10/10 times be caught, either by the compiler, the developer or the reviewer, but isn't "strictly correct" just seems pedantic to me.

To be fair, other than the example by OP I have a hard time coming up with things that wouldn't be either caught by the compiler or are very bad practice (which should give point deduction).
