Well, another parameter to take into account when buying games, along with Denuvo and other shits… Its hard to keep up 🤣

Lucky seven!

Or Nana (seven in Japanese)

I am so sorry, I didn’t receive a notification of your answers. It’s late, but I’ll answer anyway ^^

Regarding your message to write them back, starting with 先生方 seems wrong because you’re answering to students and 先生 means teacher.
生徒方 is not something I have heard of, and it seems waaaay too strict to address to young people.

Regarding the tone of their message, it’s very friendly and is “slangish” even. まかせろ instead of 任せてください。
If you want to answer in the same vibe, I would simply say: よろしくね＾＾ or something along those lines.
For something more formal: ご協力ありがとうございます would be good IMO.

Note: I am not native Japanese, take my advice with a fistful of salt ^^

In Japanese I would say:

一日終わったら、椅子を重ねてください。

You know they want to impose age verification on Linux as well right? Linux is still the way to go, but I am so not ok with what they ate trying to do.

I make automation tools at work with Racket.
It’s running on scheme, and there is an editor provided with it.
It’s very useful and it’s quick to prototype algos or just doing simle checks because of the REPL.
It’s obligatory to know if you’re a programmer IMO, it opens your mind to different ways of thinking, which is unvaluable.

I am late to the party, but here are some picks I have:

• The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity
• Gosick
• Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway
• Isuca
• Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts
• The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil

There is a bit of everything in those, you might like some of them.

I use Racket almost daily, but as a tool to helping me do my job (mainly PHP, yerk…).
Racket is so flexible and batteries included I can write small tools/scripts to summary DB data, sort files, filter git changed files and many other small things.
I am currently incorporating more Racket in my workflow for automations and I am preparing reports about the speed benefits for my tasks (comparing with and without tools).
I hope to get good results to show the upper up next year.
I also try to “advocate” Racket to my co-workers that “it can help you get better and faster” by showing some snippets when pair programming.

Lol, it’s like paying to lose your privacy, it’s dumb!

Thanks for the heads up, I just realize I got the topic backward! That’s embarassing… Hence my message has been downvoted lol, now I can see why.

Edit: I misread the topic, it says “in defence of”, but for some reason I got it backward.
My answer is about the simple grammar I would lile to see more respected.
I leave my original answer for context.

• Anyways instead of Anyway
• your instead of you’re
• their instead or they’re and a couple others…

Array_filter and array_map having the arguments swapped pisses me of so much.!

Not sure if it fits your question, but here is a little tool I use all the time at work.
We have a radio playing, and sometimes I want to know what song is it.
I made a shortcut in Emacs to go to the radio website, find the “currently playing” title, and print it on the screen as well as saving the date/time I did the request into a “history” file for later reference.

I daily use it for work. It’s great.

I use more because I learned more first. Now it’s in muscle memory, so I won’t change anytime soon.
