Talk:3064: Lungfish

Huh, first time I've seen a comic the literal minute it was posted. Weird seeing a completely empty explainxkcd page. Beanie ^talk 16:10, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Got the basics of a transcript going. --DollarStoreBa'al (talk) 16:21, 17 March 2025 (UTC) People often talk about DNA being the program that builds life, but it seems to me more as if its the static-data used by the program that builds life 172.70.90.236 16:24, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Anyone know how to add categories? If so, I can handle those. --DollarStoreBa'al (talk) 16:25, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

I was thinking of creating the category Genetics as a subcategory to biology, if it hasn't already been done. --DollarStoreBa'al (talk) 16:29, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi chat, we got a new undiscovered xkcd page to talk about: Dot. Any info would be helpful. Caliban (talk) 16:52, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

"a common issue when coding" or it could be just editing a doc, a picture, a video, etc.172.71.151.21 17:09, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE, OKAY???

Somewhat related, is is quite common for someone to have filenames like "Thesis (final)", "Thesis (really final)", "Thesis (really really final)" (instead of "Thesis" it might be "Presentation"). I have just checked the RCS log of my MSc Thesis: the 2.16 version was the final, but then there were the 3.1 and 3.2, which were the correction of two typos. Rps (talk) 18:48, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Anybody else notice that the science in this one is completely incorrect? I added a note, but I'm curious why the comic doesn't instead mention something like Trichomonas or rice/cotton/bread wheat, which actually *do* feature widespread gene duplication User:tofudragon7

"append "Copy of" to the start of the filename" Append comes after. I think the word we want is "prepend". Not as familliar as append, but Google reports wide and serious usage. A further note: MS's hack ruins the idea of alphabetized filenames' all the "Copy of" in one place. --PRR (talk) 21:24, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
