Difference in temperature cannot be expressed in °C. It’s not 5 °C warmer today than yesterday. It’s 5 K warmer. You can say “five degrees warmer”, but not “five degrees Celsius warmer” or “five Celsius warmer”. “Five Celsius degrees warmer” is also correct, but who’d do that?
The reason is that the Celsius scale has a fixed offset. If your birthday is in a week, you wouldn’t say it’s “one seventh of January from today”.
In Sweden it’s getting increasingly common to write “Open between 9 to 17” which is so wrong it hurts.
Between 9 to 17 AND WHAT???
We should be able to figure this out. Which year, month, date and hour of the day was it?
NB: this was before
Sorry, I don’t see it. Do you mean in a reply to a comment?
I think OP needs to explain why a note taking app is not a diary app in their view.
I said I’ve been trying for 20 years. Obviously it’s a Brother.
I feel attacked by this post. I self host Home Assistant, recursive proxy servers, RSS readers, photo managers, vscode, media servers, download managers, backup solutions, git, password databases, economy trackers… And if I need to print from my macbook I have to email the file to myself because in twenty years I haven’t ONCE been able to host my printer on the network in a way that works for more than three days before randomly breaking.
It’s memes like this that makes manufacturers think it doesn’t matter anyway, and suddenly start making devices where the USB sockets are actually upside down. And let me tell you, once you’ve had to deal with one of those, you won’t be laughing anymore.
I’ve seen that in style guides ”because it should piss of everyone equally”.
”Better known as Windoze”
Stopped reading right there. Edgy 14 year old script kiddies can think whatever they want. I’m not interested.
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words.
With English as my second language, the difference between terrible and terrific has always confused me.
Awww I had forgotten about that. Now I’m sad.
As soon as I saw this post I jumped on xkcd. Glad I checked the comments before replying, or I would have made quite the fool of myself.
Not enough.
Depends on the language the script is written in.
If it’s bash/sh then it’s usually just $VARIABLE
I go the other way. I have linux installed pretty much just to run docker and qemu running windows with iommu passthrough. The performance hit is negligible, and with docker context you can run docker-cli and devcontainers and stuff in the windows vm like native.
Glad you appreciate it for what it is.
