Indexing by zero has a huge positive impact on the correctness of complex operations like joining intervals, that nobody trusts themselves to write anyway and always pack behind a well-verified library.

But I think the reason we have it is because C maps it almost immediately into memory offsets.

The US has been pushing a few news on their propaganda machines trying to distance themselves from Israel. I don’t think they’ll go all-in into a war.

The nightmare scenario is it being caused by something even more insidious and omnipresent than microplastics. The second nightmare scenario is microplastics.

use the Gregorian calendar for business

AKA, to talk to foreigners. Everybody that doesn’t use the Gregorian calendar uses it to talk to foreigners, if that’s the bar, then it’s universal.

Hum… I think the week is more widely adopted than the solar year.

But neither is universal. AFAIK, the length of the day is.

And I guess the entire world grasped in unison: “What a reflex! Too bad, it would be EPIC!”

Yet he’s carrying a Russian proposal straight out to Ukraine… so different.

The idea that social structures have a “logical end” is pure hubris and have no basis on reality.

is the first in the history where companies own the country

Hum… You need to learn some history.

I dunno, but there are still plenty of lactose intolerant people that insist on drinking milk and not taking any medicine…

So, I’d guess a bit of both.

I’ll just also add that getting sick because of the milk doesn’t alleviate any starvation.

Except that this is wrong. C is free to do all kinds of things you didn’t ask it to, and will often initialize your variables without you writing it.

Yeah, if you transmit less data in total, your odds of having a random problem reduce. But not much, because electromag interference tends to last for relatively long times and you still need to communicate often for minimizing latency.

That is, unless the problem is a saturated channel. If that’s the case, your situation may improve much more by sending less data.

After you establish a connection, it doesn’t hop anymore.

I don’t think BT devices do frequency hopping. The audio bandwidth is reduced just because the mic signal is added and has to share the connection. There’s no change on the physical connection.

(Now, it would be great if there was some frequency hopping and your phones could reserve a full FM channel instead of messing with digital compression.)

Oh, the meme really is about Nix then? I assumed it was about C.

I guess IT has a lot of holding into old ways going on.

There won’t be a grandson, the cycle is broken.

He (or she, I really don’t remember) became famous from receiving a really bad name.

There exist people that need to do just that. That said, they won’t learn it from somebody telling them.

(And yeah, fuck the people that assume it applies to everybody.)

AFAIK, invites do not exist. Meetings appear non-confirmed on the calendar, and get confirmed or denied when I enter or fail to enter them.

I’m pretty sure that “meeting invite” thing is fake news.

I’d guess the lack of defined backend contracts is caused by the same issue that made you unable to fix those any later.

Anyway, the frontend / backend split is stupid and ridiculous. It’s even worse because both sides usually include tasks that do need to be split up.
