Nah, that's not it. I also have

@boomzilla said in WTF Bites:
26 variables ought to be enough for everybody.
But it probably also used
$to prefix strings, so that's 52. Luxury!I'm actually trying to remember how it did strings. I'm pretty sure that it didn't have separate variables for strings -- each variable could hold either a string or a number.
I wish I still had the manual, but of course I don't have any idea where it ended up (my dad may have it still and/or threw it out long ago). And it doesn't seem to be available online as a PDF anywhere.

@anotherusername CASIO BASIC only has one letter variables and doesn't have functions. You can call other programs as if they were functions, but the variables are all globally shared.
However, you also have global arrays and even matrices. So you just make a stack!

Tandy's PC-7 was basically just a RadioShack-branded Casio FX-5200P. I don't remember it having matrices, but maybe I just didn't get into those.
I'm trying to remember how it did string variables. I want to say it limited the string length to something silly... I wish I could find the manual somewhere online, but Tandy PC-7 and Casio FX-5200P both turn up null results. You can buy them on eBay, new with manual included, but I was hoping to find a PDF somewhere...

What I'm asking is, is there an actual, important difference between how lexers are made or behave and how higher-level parsers are made or behave that warrants creating an entire new field, lexical analysis, separate from the general syntactic analysis?
Lexers are almost universally simpler than parsers, and I've never heard of one that was more complex than a parser. (Lexers don't have recursive grammars, which makes them less powerful and much easier to implement correctly. Simplicity is sometimes a good thing.)

IIRC some commission in charge of German language decided a few years ago that "ss" is a valid (or maybe even preferable) replacement for scheissen-s in official writing?

scheissen-s
I only know that swiss standard ("high") german doesn't use it; they got rid of it some time ago and just stick to "ss" everywhere. But, as far as I'm aware, it's still a thing in german german.
Edit: My suggestion: don't use the beta and just claim that you're writing in swiss standard german. It's the better german anyway.

It's dependent on the pronounciation of the vowel preceding the character - if it's a long vowel it'sß. If it's short then it'sss

Really? Never heard of that. Though I heard there are huge regional differences in how German people speak. Which part of Germany are you from? I'm mostly familiar with people from Saxony and Brandenburg.

Over here it's definitely "scharfes S".
The "S Z" thing is one of the two origins. As your Wikipedia article states it's originally been a ligature of either "ſs" or "ſz" (the former character of these (ſ) being an archaic "long s"). That's why the transliteration used to be either "sz" or "ss" but the latter is now standard.IIRC some commission in charge of German language decided a few years ago that "ss" is a valid (or maybe even preferable) replacement
Certainly not, unless I'm misunderstanding you. But whenever "ß" is technically not possible "ss" is the correct replacement.

WTF of my day: So, we have this webspace. And I've been tasked with writing a small application to be placed on a subdomain of said webspace.
My solution needs some specialized tools to be installed - nothing major and easy to do but I need SSH and root for that (basically, replace Apache with Nginx because I know that reverse-proxying works for the latter and I haven't touched Apache in years).
Got the account information for our server and set out to get the needed information. Okay, there's the FTP info. Here's stuff about the email server.
Nothing about SSH. Hmmh. Maybe we got one of those basic webhosting deals? Had to go to our hoster's website because this information was nowhere to be found.
Alright, so it seems that for 2€ more we get SSH. Wait. "Without root." Okay, yes, I can understand that, it's probably shared hosting and they don't want shenanigans.
So, what's their VirtualRootserver offers?
None? What the?
Okay, then, for shits'n'giggles, let's look at their full-blown server solutions. 99€ per month for the smallest one.
"Without root".
What in the everburning hells?
-
@Rhywden Oh, and just to make it a bit more annoying: They have a subdomain configuration tool. Which only allows for Redirects and server-internal targets. No A level entries so I can't just use one of the fixed IPv4 addresses my school has and redirect to that.
Also, no CNAME, TXT or MX records because who will ever need those, right?

And the really weird part about this?
The character "ß" is called "S Z" in German.
Yup. It's pronounced S-Z, "ess-tset" (the German letter pronunciations differ from the English letter pronunciations). The ß character itself is a "sz" ligature, formed out of the long s glyph, "ſ", and a z with a tail, "ʒ". However, the ligature was actually used for the sharp s sound, which in German was spelled "ss". (It's been a while since I learned any of this in high school, so hopefully my memory is accurate.)
