@aescling because i needed to skip some iterations in a for…of loop?
“interesting” here is acting as a shorthand for “actually interesting”, not “having rare or unexpected qualities”, which would render this statement paradoxical
i’m not watching the game actively but it’s on in the other room and every time i pop in it’s like, oh look, he stepped out of bounds early; oh look, there was defensive holding on that play which would have been a sack; oh look, he threw an interception
@nleigh oh yeah i hope you like hot fire nation assassin women because let me tell you kyoshi does
@craigmaloney@octodon.social @noelle if you're curious about this decision, it comes from how python rounds //
many languages drop the fractional part, so -6 // 8 is 0. you then need a -6 to get back to your original value.
8*0 + (-6) == -6
python always rounds down, so -6 // 8 is -1. so you need a 2:
8*(-1) + 2 == -6
@nleigh good; it's a lot of political drama and actual death from the perspective of someone who was raised a poor servant orphan in the Earth Kingdom, which is definitely a different vibe from the shows but i appreciate it
also it’s gay
@noelle @craigmaloney@octodon.social oh, hm, not sure if i agree with that definition of remainder
technically speaking, it's a standardized 'remainder-near' function, so my only real issue with it is the name :P
anyway it's easy enough to
a%b - b if a < 0 else a%b
so there's no real issue
@craigmaloney@octodon.social @noelle mod is NOT the same as remainder and this is the difference :). the problem (from this person's point of view, anyway, likely) is that most programming languages use % to mean remainder, and python (apparently) uses it to mean modulus.
@noelle does this person know about math.remainder() because that sounds like what they want
isn’t that the new pokémon?

@eldang look it’s not complicated. i’m saying that if you say “ban cars”, as a shorthand or no, people are going to get offended. if you continue to say it, as a shorthand or no, i can only assume that you are fine with those people getting offended.
so be it. but don’t act surprised when people do, then, get offended.
i am not arguing policy with you. i am saying that these fights are easily avoidable. OP was about avoiding these fights. my post was about avoiding these fights. you are not helping your cause by having these fights.
