My employer allows linux, but:

Dogfood linux
If you told me that was the name of an actual Linux distro, I'd totally believe you.

It probably is.

@MrL Some regurgitation of Puppy Linux, probably.

Telling the actual distro name would be telling where I work.

Well I suppose I'll have to be content with the massive leak that you work someplace rolls a distro.

@topspin TIL about imperial cups.

I think there's some kind of rule 34 for units. If it exists, there is an imperial version of it.

And the imperial version is the good kind of rule 34, not the creepy weirdo kind that just gives you ED.

@Gustav said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:
@topspin TIL about imperial cups.
It seems to me that 1 cup corresponds to 8 fluid ounces, at least when the substance to be measured is milk.
Does it hold true for other substances, too? Like coffee? E.g. is Wally typically carrying 8 fluid ounces with him?
-
@BernieTheBernie said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:

Depends. Is he carrying 1 serving? Because that's only 5oz.
-
@dcon he's carrying only half a serving. He also drinks on the way. By the time he's at his desk, he must go get another.

Except in Imperial units, there are 40 fluid ounces in a quart, each equivalent to 28.4mL; in the U.S. it's different™. Also, the U.S. fluid ounce is 29.6mL, but quantities are labelled as though it were 30mL.
In happier news, Jan 1 2023 saw the death of the "U.S. survey mile".

@Watson said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:

So Americans will do anything to avoid both the metric and imperial systems?

I think Imperial and US fluid ounces are different sizes too...

As a unit of measurement, a (US) cup is always 8 (US) fluid ounces, regardless of the type of liquid. As a container from which to drink liquid, the size may vary. The mug from which I drink my caffeinated liquid holds approximately 16 fluid ounces.
-
@Watson said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:

Which is STILL different from metric cups, which are 250ml.
Also, it's l, not L.

Disappointingly not retarded enough. US cup should be 8 UK fluid ounces.

Nope, nope. Should this occur, the silver soldiers stored under the Jefferson Memorial would awaken in protest.
But, I concur that a UK pint should be 16 US ounces.

Not to be confused with a serve which is
30-250g0.94-8.82oz depending on what it is.

There's someone from Scandinavia that regularly off-handedly brags about how much of a manly hunk chunk of a bearded muscle sex beast they are. I can see them

This is a properly sized mug.

@topspin I like that guy. He's right. C++ programmers seem to think they've got it all solved and so have stopped thinking about it, making the result a stinking mess. (C programmers know the language solves very little for them and don't pretend otherwise. The C standard committee keeps trying, but the community mostly seems to ignore those guys on the grounds that they're losers or, worse, compiler authors.)
-
@dkf For a lot of operations, you can safely get away with just pretending that utf-8 is yet another ascii derivative. Or at least, it worked for us.
-
@dkf yeah, but he’s also project editor for the C committee. At least when he says it’s hot garbage he knows what he’s talking about.

My comment stands.
Strings are much more difficult to work with than most people think. Especially if you want to both get good speed and not waste awful amounts of memory. The key problem is that there isn't One Best Memory Representation. A secondary problem is that not all algorithms are satisfied with linear traversal of strings. Oh, and some people like to hold pointers into the middle of strings and do whacky things like making substrings by scribbling NULs in, but they're usually persuadable to do something else (e.g., by noting to them that their code doesn't work with string constants and no, we're not going to set
-fwritable-strings
just to let your heap of shit code work, thankyouverymuch).
-
@dkf The annoying thing is that all standard string functions assume null-terminated strings. Some, but not all, have a
mem*()
equivalent which accepts a separate string length.
