Next year should I take AP Music Theory or AP Computer Science A? I'm basically guaranteed an A in both.

hichris123

I'm going to start using extended commit messages. I think it helps me figure out what I'm doing, and allows other people to know exactly why I changed something.

@bjb568 Comp Sci is boring. And it's Java. xD

bjb568

They promise to go beyond the requirements for AP tho.

hichris123

Still Java. Which I thought you hated.

So music theory?

If you want to become a better programmer, take Music Theory.

This. FWIW, my philosophy for /review is based on the half-hour to an hour a day I used to spend in /tools, back when that was the only user-moderator UI: I'd check it every day right before the UTC rollover, and use up whatever close votes I had remaining after browsing the site all day, then burn delete/undelete votes until the time was up. The notion that folks should be doing this all day long is kinda crazy - looking at the worst posts on the site for too long is depressing. — Shog9 ♦ 7 mins ago

Goldfish (snack)

Goldfish are fish-shaped crackers manufactured by Pepperidge Farm, a division of the Campbell Soup Company. The crackers are available in several varieties and, since 1997, only 40% of the crackers contains a small anthropomorphic imprint of an eye and a smile. The brand's current marketing and product packaging incorporates this feature of the product: "The Snack That Smiles Back! Goldfish!", and the slogan is also reinforced by the mascot, named Finn, who wears sunglasses. == History == Originally developed by Oscar J. Kambly at Swiss biscuit manufacturer Kambly in 1958, Goldfish snacks were...

Now I want to try using these in tomato soup instead of oyster crackers

bjb568

Oyster crackers are many yuk. Bread and potatoe chips r bettah

Shog9

Then I'll use oyster crackers in oyster stew instead of chicken crackers

Then I'll use saltines in my chicken soup

@bjb568 grilled tuna sandwiches are better still

bjb568

But you don't dip that in soup… right?

If you think this is too hard on literary criticism, read the Wikipedia article on deconstruction.

bjb568

Deconstruction

Deconstruction (French: déconstruction) is a literary theory and philosophy of language derived principally from Jacques Derrida's 1967 work Of Grammatology. The premise of deconstruction is that all of Western literature and philosophy implicitly relies on a metaphysics of presence, where intrinsic meaning is accessible by virtue of pure presence. Deconstruction denies the possibility of a pure presence and thus of essential or intrinsic meaning. Derrida terms the philosophical commitment to pure presence as a source of self-sufficient meaning logocentrism. Due to the impossibility of pure presence...

@Unihedro Likely. But it won't work for example when the class is abcopen‌id_large_btn since it matches when it shouldn't. The normalize calls are necessary.

I should have specified. This is for locating the buttons in the Stack Exchange login.
