1. Gina is not a sport person
2. Bullshit. If Warnie copped a derogatory portrait, he’d never be able to suppress it

It just was not much different to 98 and had less good UI

keyboard layout resets

Most people don’t care as they only have one layout. You and me are odd. I usually set my preferred layout as default

It’s going to annoy me. I keep the task bar on the bottom on my machine and on the side for remote/virtual machines

I wouldn’t, but only because I enjoy writing, even for email

You mean in a single dose? I’ll have 700mg 1000mg over three hours often

I have only heard of melatonin for jet lag and changing shift work

I don’t believe it’s good for sleep in general given those two uses are about messing with circadian cycles and that’s not going to help someone without otherwise good sleep habits

Which standard does Canada use?

I have a friend who’s a new PM (in scaled agile). He isn’t up on expectation management.

We have a process where we request data from another agency which takes “from 7 seconds to 12 days”

And of course he tells people that. And of course they hear “7 seconds”

I have told him that if the SLA is 12 days, say “less than 12 days”

Indeed, however the Americans stand out in the anglosphere

They said 1st as an abbreviation of first (it’s a normal abbreviation 1st, 2nd, 3rd … 7th abbreviate first, second, third … seventh)

If you want to be both wrong and confusing

If you want to use correct English and be clear don’t use ordinals: Say “index 0, index 1” etc

Save ordinals for contexts without indices: the first time through this loop, the last record"

Calling index zero the first is correct, but risks misunderstandings such as in the op comic

That is why many call index zero the zeroth index

First and 1st are certainly different symbols for the same concept

The spelling for the index before the first is zeroth, no need to insert an extra vowel

Americans also index their building floors from 1

A two storey American building has floors 1 and 2, where elsewhere they might be ground (zero) and 1.

Blame the restaurant for having a table identified as zero

Good luck standardizing English

0th (only first gets the -st ending; only second gets its end)

So it’s big and diverse ecosystem with multiple standards to choose between

The problem isn’t that it’s missing something like cpan, it’s that there are ten incompatible ones to choose between

Remind me not to learn python. If I get into microcontrollers I shall use their C++ like language not micropython ;)

I really like the ability to dig up code from twenty years ago and just run it

The worst is when the password manager (KeePass in this case) is in quick unlock mode in its default configuration “enter the last four characters of your password”

Me: like I can remember how my password ends. Just let me type the whole thing
