@aescling @vaporeon_ I wanted to use a caret to look like an arrow pointing at me previous post but this happened instead

I am normal and can be trusted to engage reasonably with C++ value categories

@Satsuma I could just hack a word using quasi. Or I learned that the word "fere" in latin means closely/quite. So I could use ferevisible, ferelocatable, fereidentifiable

@vaporeon_ it would better to say "usually identifiable" or "usually locatable"

let's say, to describe an picture of a face taken for facial recognition software. the software will very likely correctly identify somebody from a clear image of their face, but not always

@vaporeon_ I know you speak other languages, is there a word in some language you know of that has this meaning?

Is there a word in the english dictionary that means "usually visible"?

@aescling @vaporeon_ that is why I put it in quotes. unfortunately people actually say things like this

@vaporeon_ language evolves over time. at the time C was released it was a high level language, and writing in assembly would have been considered writing in a low level language. nowadays it is extraordinarily rare to write things explicitly in assembly--most programmers who work "directly with the hardware" use languages like C, C++, Rust, etc. So the meaning of low-level has changed to refer to usage of languages like those mentioned.
