@neauoire πŸ˜‚ what a serious response! Instead of just... allowing the student to write in the answers by hand or be a few days late?

@neauoire i suppose it's really just a silly segue into the topic of the paper, but still.

@cathos I think this difference in thinking is why we’re problem solvers and not academics

Why would I write a paper when I could simply solve the problem?

And then they’re over there thinking β€œwhy simply solve the problem when I could write a paper!”

@cathos @neauoire i think the implication is that they took this opportunity to write a paper about right-reducing combinators?

@neauoire Honestly, not enough software takes into account broken or partially broken input devices. Eg.: my PinePhone's GUI crashed when I was attending Function and I couldn't log in on the terminal because the Linux login prompt doesn't have support for showing my password and the typematic delay on the hardware keyboard was set too low.

Typical officer shit here. West Point has computer labs; the cadet could have just gone and used a working machine. Instead, the cadet made other people do a bunch of work to make up for the consequences of their own carelessness. This is why enlisted people make sure there's always an adult NCO following any West Point graduate around to protect them from themselves...

@neauoire
On Windows, the answer would be the alt-key combos; presumably Linux has a compose-key equivalent?
