I don't like how both parenting questions paint parents as ignorant in programming, to the extent they can't even find out what it is that their child is so much interested in.

Maybe I should a 3rd question there: how do I get a 18-19 year old to understand that y=x+1 is going to throw an error unless you assigned some value to x previously?

I don't like the idea of parents pushing kids to write code.

Or at least not to be hopelessly confused by an error message about this happening.

ask in Root Access (SU room), the dog, the fox or all can give you more information (they were using godaddy)

Apple just gave my grandma a brand new iPad because hers started having cellular problems.

She had an iPad 2, now she has an iPad Air.

This is why I love Apple

So, we have a Meta reference post What is the difference between disputed and declined flags?. So outdated. Much confusion on math.meta, when someone refers to it for background info. Can someone knowledgeable bring it up to date?

I don't remember someone pasting this here, so...

Where's the meta post on making review decline flags instead of dispute?

Argh, can't find it.

@bjb568 This is somehow relevant: Your last flag was declined - but post closed, Brad Larson explains that 3-2 Open vote in Close review declines.

user259867

But I think any post we find is bound to be out of date, because Shog has since tweaked the process one way or another.

I just coined a new word: 'plagiarism'

Q: In cycles, do negative lights actually remove light or are they casting "Black" light?

In cycles, I just learned, that you can set a lamp's value to a negative number to create a "negative lamp". But in a few tests, instead of removing light, it seemed to just cast black light? What are the lamps actually doing?
