I'm starting to recover some repressed memories, and I'm recalling some things about the way my alma mater was run. My university had a satellite passport office within its facilities. A couple years ago, I went to it in order to have a passport card issued to me. I was required to bring some...

Forgive me for not using the word "correct" as an absolute adjective. Anyway, consider the following sentence. The adjective phrase "you nominated" modifies the noun "person". Optionally, the noun "person" can be followed by a relative pronoun. Which is pronoun is "more correct"? On one...

Yes to both. But I still feel unfulfilled for some reason. I may have leisure time, but it's not like I can ever think of anything to do with that leisure time, besides feel too tired and unmotivated to commit myself to the two projects that I've been working on for some time.

I feel like the media and the Internet allow bad language use to propagate like it is some sort of contagion. It's made worse by the fact that the Internet not only tolerates it, but even encourages it sometimes. Yeah. I think that would be best. I've come to realize how much time I have left...

t I'm feeling lost. Currently, I'm trying to learn how to do web-development stuff in Python, so that I can have a project to show-off to prospective employers. I'm also aware that I may be deluding myself into thinking that one project is all it takes to get noticed. Moreover, I just lack...

On Saturday, I had to transport a used toilet brush in my car. Beforehand, I had washed the handle roughly, and ran the bristles under hot water. I am afraid that I had not washed it thoroughly enough. I had had to pack it into a small box, which I placed on the floor of the backseat of my car...

There's no mention of such a macro in the official manual. If this is in reference to that StackExchange article, then that article explicitly mentions that that moon macro is a custom one. Moreover, it has that outer border that I don't want. I'll do some research on how to modify the code to...

https://tug.ctan.org/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf The symbol I've described isn't in this list. I've searched "crescent" and "moon", but to no avail. Will I have to go through the trouble of creating one myself using TikZ, or something? Also, I need a horizontal border to insert...

I don't know about unreliable, but some of the articles may sound like self-advertisement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clouding_of_consciousness#Psychopathology

Thank you both. I will take your respective bits of advice to heart.

I am aware of this possibility. But one of the main concerns I had with C++ is that if I wanted to do a simple task, such as finding out whether or not an element is in a list, I don't care exactly how either C++ or I have to do it. But if I have to explicitly specify how it is done, then it is...

I don't want anything like that. I am just looking for a way to determine if an element exists in an array while doing as little typing as possible. I am fairly certain that Python has spoiled me in this respect. Anyway, the code below is closer to what I'm looking for. But I dislike that there...

Let's assume that there is no ordering applied. Are you saying that no easier way exists in C++, other than to declare a Boolean variable, and go through a for-loop in order to determine if a given element exists in an array?

#include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <string> using namespace std; int main(void) { vector <int> v = {0, 5, 9, 3, 2, 1}; bool nine_exists = false; for (int i: v){ if (i == 9) { nine_exists = true; break; } } string message =...

I think I just mistook it for a third-person-limited telling, rather than one that is third-person-omniscient, as you've implied.
