Isn’t it reasonable for a maintainer to say “no rust here” when they don’t know rust, don’t want to learn it, and have decades of experience in C, and are maintaining that part of the system

Make up something quickly stand-up is only 30 minutes after starting time

It was fine until “the adpocalypse”, when advertisers pulled their ads because they were being shown with offensive videos.

While YouTube has been trying to fix the problem the quality of the ads has reduced. So many advertisers now only go through sponsorship, which doesn’t give any share to YouTube.

The door lock failing should just disable the self cleaning mode

I don’t think cheesecake is difficult

Mix ingredients - how long? Until they are mixed. If a thing needs stirring for a length of time the recipe will tell you

Beef doesn’t go golden brown when you sear it

Golden brown is the colour of cooked wheat flour products - things toast to golden, they don’t sear to golden

Framework still don’t have open firmware

I think in 2001 I was making a Linux from scratch system having not gotten enough from red hat and Debian with home configured and compiled kernels

Fun times and no, nothing like the commercial home operating systems back then

Which standard does Canada use?

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
