Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Correct. It's mainly used for quick helper methods where you don't need an object context like the Math class. It's also used for class variables like out stream in the System class.

    So. Many. People think it means it's a constant variable.

    To be fair, the static keyword is overused in various languages and has various other purposes.

    IIRC: C has both static functions and variables. Static variables keep their value for the next time a function is called, no idea what static meant for function declaration.

    Rust has static variables, which are similar to constants but can be abused as global variables.

    That's true, but these are also the same people who say they are a 9/10 in Java at career fairs. I've been working in Java for 10+ years and I'd still only consider myself an 8/10 maybe.
