  • Not American here. Why would you put the punctuation inside the quotes unless you are quoting punctuation? Unless I misunderstood what you mean.

    For example:

    Bob wrote “this is amazing!”.

    Bob used an exclamation point, so I quoted an exclamation. If it is the end of my sentence then I use a full stop, if I quote it then it would imply the end of their sentence even though it wasn’t.

    Frazorth is amazing when he speaks, as I never knew someone could be quite so incoherent.

    Would be quoted as

    Bob said “Frazorth is amazing.”

    It distorts the context.












  • Gradle, with it’s transitive dependency modifications is a huge pain in this area.

    It used to be that if a library ended up having a flaw then it would be flagged and we would get the dependency updated. These days security block the “security risk” and you have to replace your dependencies dependency. Fingers crossed you can get it to actually test all the code paths.

    If an second level project gets a flaw, and it’s used indirectly then we should really look at getting the import updated so that we know it works. If that import is abandoned then we should not be updating that second level dependency, either adopt and fix the first level dependency or look at an alternative.



  • the only thing they built for the Palestinian people has been tunnels to commit terrorism from.

    I wasn’t the one who said that tunnels were the only thing they have done, that was literally you. But it’s also irrelevant because I wouldn’t expect any infrastructure works to be prioritised when a small country is under attack.

    When the IRA demanded their land back, we were allowed to agree with their cause of no occupation without saying that their tactics of bombing trains was a good thing.

    When the LTTE violently attacked Sri Lanka, people were allowed to feel for the ongoing Tamil persecution, without agreeing to the murdering.

    Why can’t I say that Hamas is a product of its environment, caused by the pain that Israel creates while also saying that the actions of Hamas are terrible.
