Is kill -11 even allowed?

On the other hand, the OOM killer is worst of all: “kill process or sacrifice child.”

NEMA has called them “plugs” and “receptacles” for decades.

You forgot “don’t say ‘thank you for pointing out that we were sending social security numbers to everyone who visits our website that anybody could stumble across,’ but rather ‘you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, hacker!’” Courtesy of the Missouri Department of Education.

The Danish word for 99 is nioghalvfems, which literally means “nine and half five.” Which you could be forgiven for assuming meant 11½. The trick is that a) “half five” actually means 4½, as in half less than five, and b) it’s implied that you’re supposed to multiply the second part by 20. So the proper math is 9 + (-½ + 5) * 20 = 99.

Of course, the correct way to quit Vi is ^Zpkill vi.

If you think French is bad…

// Danish
farve = "#(9+½+5)FFAA"

Which surely works only until you need to say 91, which does not start “quatre-vingt-dix.”

So Java is kinda slow. Its “everything is a class” mentality has lost favor as first-class functions have become popular through languages like JavaScript (no relation to Java) and Python. Even C++ has them now.

Independent of the language itself, Oracle (the company that owns Java) has become unpopular in the industry recently as they changed the way the Java Development Kit was licensed, making it significantly more expensive, and for being on the wrong side of the Google v. Oracle suit. (Literally everyone, from the OSF and the EFF to the “big five” tech companies took Google’s side.)
