Why downvote? This is an often overlooked trap for programmers… especially those of the “data science” variety, but certainly not restricted to that subset.

Yes, this was an appropriate response. I hate people who wave guns around like they are toys.
NPR sez Florida law would disallow him voting, but he wasn’t convicted in Florida, so they defer to the law in the state where he was convicted. New York allows felons to vote up until they are imprisoned, which doesn’t seem likely to happen before election day since he is appealing. Skin of teeth again.
Way too late for that. Every language I know makes some kind of auto conversion for numeric comparisons… and sometimes for strings as well.
I stopped buying phones from carriers 15 years ago for this very reason.
Using sudo when it isn’t necessary, and the real cannon: sudo su… Adding sudo to your command lines indiscriminately causes files you create to be owned by root even though they are in your home directory, and then you end up using sudo to make changes to the files… and then the filesystem permissions cannot prevent you from successfully running an accidental “sudo rm -rf /” command.
Seriously… sudo is not a “habit” to develop in order to avoid dealing with filesystem permissions problems.
Noob question?
You do seem confused though… Debian is both a distribution and a packaging system… the Debian Stable distribution takes a very conservative approach to updating packages, while Debian Sid (unstable) is more up-to-date while being more likely to break. While individual packages may be more stable when fully-updated, other packages that depend on them generally lag and “break” as they need updating to be able to adapt to underlying changes.
But the whole reason debian-based distros exist is because some people think they can strike a better balance between newness and stability. But it turns out that there is no optimal balance that satifies everyone.
Mint is a fine distro… but if you don’t like it, that is fine for you too. The only objection I have to your objection is that you seem to be throwing the baby out with the bathwater… the debian packaging system is very robust and is not intrinsically unlikely to be updated.
FWIW I avoid zombie books like the plague! :-)
tl;dr … it is the web page you are trying to copy from… and the operating system touch screen support… not the browser. You outta luck here… use a different OS or copy from a different web page.
Functions don’t return… equals goto. Everything must be done by side effects… all variables are global. Global state mutation is inheritance… no grok. Every call is non-blocking and spawns a new thread… atomic bomb for junior software engineers.
??? … shorting the stock of the company that adopts this.
Profit!
How do you know it isn’t the web page layout? Have you tested the same page with a computer with a mouse?
FWIW I have been running with a whitelist for about 15 years. Kind of a calm feeling to enter a new site every couple of weeks and ignore the busy scripts by default. To each their own.
Still only two legs…
Jesus. The initial transient used to be about 3%, but now is under 1% for most product being sold. It was never near 20%.
But that doesn’t stop idiots from saying “we have optimizers” and installing them in the shade or facing north and acting surprised when they underperform.
There are thousands of programs for Linux… but you should be warned that relatively few programs run natively on both Windows and Linux. In some cases there are ways to run “Windows programs” on Linux, but in general such successes are special cases. If you absolutely must have Windows you can run it in a virtual machine… but you will most likely be happiest with Linux if you aren’t chasing after such things.
I use Windows for work because our IT department only supports that… but I use cygwin and wsl to get a smidgen of my familiar Linux tools that I use on my personal computers.
