Embedded for convenience:

There’s likely a clearer error if you scroll up.

Prescriptivist much?

I think they meant shoot in like a friendly way. You know, happiness bullets!

That was great

There might be some double counting, but it doesn’t matter - this just illustrates the insane scale of these companies.

They should add it in C++26

I think Excel formulas also use this, but it’s been a long time so I might be misremembering.

Yes, you’ve got it right. <> means ≠. 16 is not equal to 6.

What languages use this? I don’t like it!

On the other hand it goes well with >= and <=. If >= means “either > or =” then <> means “either < or >”, it checks out.

But I still don’t like it.

are the legs not allowed to be detached even for a moment for maintenance?

While I agree that it’s awfully low nowadays, kudos to them if they know that’s all they need.

Huh? With IPv6 you get your own IP address, the ISP doesn’t need to know shit about ports. Your address is not behind a NAT anymore, and ports don’t need to be forwarded.

Perhaps you mean the ISP set up a firewall that blocks incoming connections? In which case, maybe you can have that firewall disabled? ISP firewalls and “safe browsing” packages are always shit.

To be honest though there might be some aspect to this I don’t know.

no list of apps anywhere

How could you not mention Windows XP in this comment. MS kept up support for a surprisingly long time while encouraging everyone to upgrade (and rightly so), but even 5 years after they completely dropped support, they had to release a security update to protect against a widespread attack because a ton of organizations were still using XP.

You definitely misread the question but personally I would love to know what you thought it was.

I don’t know the answer, but it this did work it would both make the outside of the oven super cold and be so slow to warm up that it would be pointless. Keep in mind that you have to get stuff in and out so air exchange is inevitable, every time you open the door you’d be reducing the heat substantially and it would take a long time to rise back up.

Also my gut feeling is that any practical implementation wouldn’t be as energy efficient as you’d hope.

This just makes it more realistic

I had to turn my phone sideways and go cross-eyed to spot the difference.

The proposed time zone is to drift about 1 second every 50 years. I also suspect it wouldn’t really be a time zone in the same sense as the time zones we know - it would just be a standardised calibration reference. Dates and times expressed in “moon time” would probably just be some leap second off of a known Earth time zone, and because it’s mere seconds over centuries, I think the only use of this time zone is to calculate ultra-precise time diffs between two earth datetimes when the observer is on the moon. At least, that’s how I interpret the articles I can find about it.
