Is there a no-thiotimoline option on those noodles?
Admin
A møøse bit your exception, the people responsible for the møøse have thrown an exception and have been terminated.

The c# generics one is probably because whatever is rendering the HTML isn't escaping angle brackets.

707 minutes is 12 hours minus 13 minutes. I reckon something thought that 12:08 am was 13 minutes after 11:55 am.
Admin
I must be too logical to think "ready in -707 minutes" means "it was done 11 hours and 47 minutes ago."

Time is not experienced linearly. It is, however, monotonic.
Admin
It's linear so long as you keep your gravitational field strength and your speed constant.
Admin
Which isn't hard to do when everyone's stuck at home!
Admin
Hehe, I was thinking more of boredom and ennui.
Admin
Please tell me you intended to make a pun on "monotonic" vs. "monotonous"
Admin
As long as every thrown exception on average throws less than one other exception itself, the exceptions will peter out in the end.
Admin
Too lazy to look up drucken but not too lazy to ask you to have done it for me.
Admin
"BILLIGER!" = cheaper; "Biite PDF drucken!" = please print PDF. Isn't it nice when the finished label tells you what to do in order to properly finish the label?
Admin
"Listen here Jack, how do I open PDF?"
Admin
I was thinking similarly, but more like: your order placed at 12:52pm will be ready for pickup at 1:05pm.
Admin
That's how you know you should order something else for a change. "Have you done the order for the korma gal yet?" – "But she's not ordered yet" – "But she will, and it'll be korma, extra mild, with two naan".

The real WTF is that on the C# test all accepted answers start with
List scores =
. That's Java AFAIK (haven't done Java in a while).In C# it would be
var scores =
Admin
That's only if you want to leave determining the type up to the compiler.
List scores =
is just as valid in C# asvar scores =
is, and it's usually up to the organisation which one you want to use. Quizzes like this - especially if they are generic - would tend to use theList scores =
version to reduce the chance of students not understanding one or more of the potential answers (for example, if they haven't been taught thevar
keyword yet - I wasn't taught that keyword at all in college or university).
