What does that mean? What answer are you looking for? I do a lot of excel stuff at work but I am not from a coding background- and I don't know how I'd answer that question.

if you're just asking "How do you know the formula is giving the right result", I'd do a manual check on a few random results to see if it is giving the answer correctly/as expected.

This is exactly my point yes

It's a troll question :v: with the point being that some people are using Excel as a programming tool without knowing anything about actual programming and how to do it properly. Automatable tests are basically a minimum requirement. The same sometimes happens with SQL, where a lot of people are smart enough to write a thousand lines of SQL, but then nobody tells them they need to somehow verify those thousand lines of stuff do the correct thing and won't break unknowably at a random time

(And sure, if you're not a programmer and your work is not, hm, "large" so to speak, if you don't mind doing everything manually every day, then sure, go ahead and don't do any automated testing. I mean noone does that anyway)

edit: oh poo poo. The 79th Burning Circle of Microsoft and Sulphur is reserved for those who write noticeable amounts of code with no tests

Give accurate data to the candidate you're voting for, and if they ask for help, then you offer what help you can. You know, normal democratic participation.

The best thing about the "black people have lower average IQs" is that, if true, it either means that IQ tests are just tests of whiteness and not intellectual aptitude, or it makes it even more embarrassing for white people that African kids routinely do better than their kids at exam time.

(It's the first one, US especially IQ tests are white people tests, but the second one amuses me because how could they even spin it?)

Oh, wait, they'd say that they exams were reverse-racist and anti-white because they contain facts. :eng99:

They'll get David Starkey / Rod Liddle / some other Spectator ghoul on Newsnight tonight and any opposition to literal eugenics will be dismissed as 'the whining of the politically correct Woke morality police' and the papers will run with it and Labour's refusal to entertain measuring the skulls of the forrins will be the new Reason Why They Lost Their Northern Heartlands.

You’ll note that these fuckers didn’t come out of the woodwork until there was a nice and chaotic niche for them to inhabit, I guarantee you the same brand of cunts are poised and ready to inhabit the same niche in the event of a reactionary party coming to power in an independent Scotland.

Independence won’t be an escape, it will be the same poo poo with a more familiar accent, because Capital still exists and will exert even more force than it currently does.

That bloke from the SNP caught flirting with a 16 year old from a position of trust? Maybe that's the thing that'll get normalised!

I'm just ribbing you, if Scotland does want to leave I hope they get 1000 years of Socialism. It'd also be nice if that happened in both Ireland and Wales.

I think one of the big problems for a lot of the "important people" in this country, and a lot of those who identify more with the Rich than with their friends is that when Britain loses a lot of it's cultural clout suddenly we'll be "poor" for the first time in living memory.

Now for a lot of us that is just standard, but the folks who are convinced that they have their house and are, as such, lords of all creation are going to be in for a nasty surprise.

Wales is no kind of socialist utopia contrary to what seems to be popular belief around here.
