Even using C#'s decimal type (128bit) would be an improvement! I count 22 characters per numbers here. So a minimum of 176bit.

I’m amazed at developers who don’t grasp that you don’t need to have absolutely everything under the sun in a human readable file format. This is such a textbook case…

Are you kidding? This is perfect! This is exactly the kind of voice I would expect an absolute nerd quoting a RFC verbatim at me would have.

Only thing more perfect coming to mind would be Sheldon Cooper or Maurice Moss’ voice doing the reading.

What did you learn from this?

Yeah, there is a reason I didn’t know the word “aspic”. What an abomination.

Opera is such a trailblazer on that front! Clearly I’m not the target audience but I really appreciate them acknowledging all the crazy people put there with hundreds of tabs.

Good news, you can start listening to Kneecap now!

The pure luxury!

The Authority actually tackled that.

Be aware that bytes exist for a start, I reckon.

Man, I can’t wait to try out generative AI to generate config files for mission critical stuff! Imagine paying all of us devops wankers when my idiot boss can just ask Chat GPT to sort all this legacy mess we’re juggling with on the daily!

It literally means “to apply”, funnily.
But of course the majority of Chinese people are not English speakers, so they see “app” but can’t know it’s the same meaning.

I might be biased from speaking with so many Chinese people. Who I can forgive not knowing the origin of the abbreviation. Still pisses me off to no end D:<

What I hate even more, is that the morons who can’t read more than two syllables decided to shorten “application” to “app”, but now I only ever hear people reading that as “ay pee pee”! What was the fucking point?

Oh hey! That’s me for the last two years! Again!

I wish I had some hippocratic style oath I could lean on to not release unsafe, unoptimised, barely tested, possibly maintainable code.
Alas all I have is good, verbose comments and an email here or there expressing my concerns.

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

我看不懂了 你想写什么？

Do we still need to click to pick shit up on the ground? Because that drove me insane to the point I didn’t play BL3, pretty much.

They still have those in the Chinese school I was teaching in. Spotless, modern, but a trough. A really humbling experience, even after years of nightclub toilets in Ireland.
