What is that true value? And was it accurate?


Unfortunately, I am not a time lord, so I don't know. But I do know the definitions of these words, and that is what they are. You are free to argue with someone else about the true meaning of time.

A single measurement can _never_ be precise, it is simply not possible.


Does it come with a snooze button?


I just can't understand who in their right mind, and is even remotely concerned about the privacy of their personal information, would upload their own DNA to a business. An internet-based one at that. Lemmings, I tell ya.


Same here. I specifically remember staying home "sick" from school just so I could transfer those COMPUTE! programs from paper to screen and eventually to cassette tape! Still have the entire setup except for the 13" Montgomery Ward TV it was connected to. I owe my entire tech career to my parents buying me that little TI from Shopko in 1983.


Trailing commas are stupid no matter what language they are in.


I have the complete opposite view, it is stupid to not have them.

Whenever I edit JSON and SQL there is a lot of fiddling with commas when rearranging lines or adding new lines to the end of the list. In other languages I use (Go and TypeScript) there is no such fiddling.

Brought back frightening memories of running a 10BASE2 network on LANtastic. Any one bad connection and the whole network came down. So much fun to troubleshoot.


+1 Beyond Compare. It's been on my list of must installs for every new system I've set up for many years.


For Windows OSes, winmerge [1] has been a solid free alternative to beyond compare for me for years.

Did they ever get around to three-way merges? That's a must-have if you use Git as a VCS.


I dont know. I Never use three way merges for anything productive.

Always felt three way merges were a great way to melt human brains.


Use VSCode for this. Also has three-way merge.
