I would settle for people and software just not doing that '06:00pm' type abomination. 6pm fine, 1800 fine (06/6am fine) but not 06pm.

That does seem odd on paper, but in practice we already deal with that anyway from midnight being kind of arbitrary and not necessarily while we're asleep (almost never, personally) so we do things like scare-quote 'tomorrow'

I'm not quite sure how you're reading it, but what they mean is 'the reason to have different offsets is so that morning/sunrise happens circa 8am everywhere in the world (in local times), but why is that a goal - why ca

Remove all of the context which makes it similar and sure it seems superficially different. Both are about humourous men keeping children happy in a concentration camp, with the dark irony that they know (and the children do not) what is to

Or the aptly named pg_cron which is in RDS for example. TFA is just a marketing piece for Wasp, presumably to improve its SEO since 'postgres cron' more obviously gets you to pg_cron otherwise.

Don't forget chip & PIN is state of the art novel tech in the US. (From memory I think it was required here in the UK from Valentine's day^ in something like 2005.) (^I remember the day better than the year because the ad ca

I wonder how it works if you have two addresses. (I suppose one possible answer could be that it just doesn't, you register your main one, if you want the other you have to enter it in full.)

Partly why they have CLAs I suppose? If someone sells me something they stole, I'm not on the hook for the theft.

Yep, just wondered if there was some analogy/joke like malai is the layer on top and kulfi is.. I don't know, the rod that connects A to B or something (that's nonsense, but that's why I was asking!) Anyway, project seem

'hehe, malai, wonder if they know' -- 'oh, kulfi, ok they definitely know' -- just a fun quirky name, or an analogy I'm missing?

Why is that? Surely that leads to conversations with open source contributors like 'this fails the test suite, but I can't show you, please fix it'?

Yes? I didn't see any link in comment I replied to between 100% and 100deg besides it happening to be the same number - I already changed that to 1M, changing it to 50k no different either. If the argument was saying there's somet

You could say things like that with anything in percentages? 100% increase in your pension from 100k to 200k is only 10% (increase, to 20% total) of your target 1M, or whatever.

It would definitely be crazy in Fahrenheit, but in centigrade I think it makes some sort of intuitive (if not scientific) sense. (Together with the sea-level assumption we always make in casual temperature discussion anyway.)

I agree it's much better to, but the biggest ones are probably Django & Rails (?), and they don't.

It sounds normal + imitation of 'American YouTuber' to me: the drawn out vowels being common in many US accents anyway, and then the 'let's fiind oooouuuutt' sort of YouTuber affectation that's itself an imitat

I guess simply 'milk' I also missed, which is a bit sweet of course but I wasn't intending to lump it in with fruit juices and added-sugar drinks. I did almost mention jaljeera, but thought that might be a bit niche. It is al

I wouldn't be so sure... I'm certain my own would increase . (Assuming 'get you drunk' means something like 'contain ethanol' i.e. no 'buzz' or whatever but also no adverse effect on liver, the next

It's trying to normalise it, make it just another part of your Google experience, alongside (and integrated with) your other Google tools. (Though that's weakened a bit by calling it ' AI Pro/Ultra' imo.)

This has to be the most complicated method of reading docs ever created? (I write as someone who really likes Terraform, fwiw.)

Right, in that analogy, but in this case there was nothing further you would get as far as I'm aware, it was a one and done transaction? So the analogy doesn't really hold, because unlike the doctor's practice without the sal

Seems strange it talks about 'university doctorate: an MD' when in the UK the vast majority of physicians do not hold doctorates, the qualification is variously MBBS or BMBS - bachelor of medicine and also of surgery - undergrad
