Step into my parlour, said the spider to the fly.

You gotta keep an eye out for the fnords. Also an “I”.

And to address the argument on precision versus descending. I disagree. An instrument counting seconds is more precise than a machine counting minutes, hours, days, weeks, months etc… And that holds true through the chain. The precision is in the unit.

We can debate this all day. And I can’t honestly say that I would take either side in a purely semantics argument.

But the wording comes directly from RFC3339 which is, to me, the definitive source for useful date representation.

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt

5.1. Ordering

If date and time components are ordered from least precise to most precise, then a useful property is achieved. Assuming that the time zones of the dates and times are the same (e.g., all in UTC), expressed using the same string (e.g., all “Z” or all “+00:00”), and all times have the same number of fractional second digits, then the date and time strings may be sorted as strings (e.g., using the strcmp() function in C) and a time-ordered sequence will result.

You misunderstand my comment.

I’m saying the digits in a date should be printed in an order dictated by which units give the most precision.

A year is the least precise, a month is the next least, followed by day, hour, minute, second, millisecond.

I don’t know why anyone would ever argue against this. Least precise to most precise. Like every other number we use.

(I don’t know if this is true for EVERY numerical measure, but I’m sure someone will let me know of one that doesn’t)

He said that it was an appropriate response to drive through protesters on a road because he might be late for work. And then doubled down on that being a normal response to being inconvenienced.

Run of the mill conservative energy.

You are a fucking joke. Full stop.

Protest all you want. I’m not getting late to work because of you

So are you gonna plow through them? Sounds like a sane response to being late for work.

And if you care about the climate I have bad news - we would already be on the same side, but you only care up to the point that it will impact you personally, and that is why you suck.

It’s like everyone who was talking about project 2025 was just shouting into the void and nobody heard a goddamn thing. These EOs were written up years ago by that evil fucking conglomerate.

true, but also – 46

This and Dilaudid are the two songs I listen to after work every day to signal ‘no more looking at work shit today’.

I found that any video I try to upload longer than about 17 seconds fails while anything shorter works.

Loops ftw.

Do you know what makes hearing videos and stuff on your phone easier when you have hearing loss? Fucking headphones.

A lot of people seriously misjudge turkeys as well. They picture the little dog-sized white bastards you see on farms. But out here in the forest our turkeys are 4 ft tall and their back legs are covered with murder spikes ending in feet with 3-inch talons.

It really is. After 11 years of remote work I would never go back to an office. I also understand we can’t all work remote. I was an automotive and industrial painter for most of my pre-IT career and that would have been rather difficult to do over the internet :p

Fair. But to a sysadmin or devops engineer availability is pretty important.

Yup.

I smoked a pack a day for roughly 30 years. My night time breathing was getting ugly and my wife would sometimes get woken up by the sound of my wheezing.

Every method of quitting failed me except vaping. I started as most do with a high nicotine vape juice that tasted like tobacco, but after about a month I swapped and started going lower and lower nicotine and change the flavor from tobacco to a custardy type.

2 months of that got me off the cigs. Two more months got me down to zero nicotine. Two or three more months after that I was done.

I have been off cigs for 7 years.

My breathing no longer feels wet or difficult at night. And My yearly health tests all come back the same as a non-smoker.
