English is NOT THIS crazy.
The pronunciation changes over time a lot faster than the spelling, which is held fixed by by long history of written texts, especially literature. But the pronunciation doesn't change randomly, there are patterns to it, and therefore the correspondence from letters to sounds does follow those patterns. Not very regularly, and there are several ways some phonemes could evolve, but it still isn't just random.
So is it gif like in girl or like in giraffe?

This weekend's mystery was "how a nail longer than my hand ended up in my tyre, with just the head still visible?"
It was longer than the height of the tyre so it necessarily had to be at an angle. But who the hell uses nails that long, how did one end up on the road and then in my tyre?
Thankfully the hole was neat enough that it could be patched easily (and cheaply!).
Given the time of year I'd say it fell out of someone's hand after they walked off a cross.

We'd do better at being taken seriously as a profession

Homoiconicity (a program can manipulate its own source in a meaningful way)
Translating from academic to English: do you mean metaprogramming?

Why do toucans dance in pairs?
Because two toucans can can-can better than one toucan can.

RE: The Cat Status Thread
@dkf iI remember learning about them though I forgot how they were called. What's actually confusing to me are the paws. It looks like a digit is missing.

legal threat of being held to contacts invented out of nothing by a computer dream machine is just far too large for any sane corporation to ignore.
You seem to vastly overestimate the number of such companies

RE: Things that remind you of WDTWTF members
@Gustav heh. I remember thinking a long time ago that nobody really wants a true human-level AI because we want machines to do the boring stuff without daydreaming or giving up.

Who's offering this better deal? Get back in the office or be fired is the message from everyone at the moment.
I come to the office about once a month on average. I still haven't made it there this year.

But K8s is so fucked up you end up needing tools to configure K8s such as Helm. Manage the manager.
This is my favorite part of modern software development. When something goes wrong you must first find out which gun it was you actually used to shoot yourself in the foot

RE: Can I borrow an apology?
@Medinoc no, no, no. You don't learn new technology in order to keep up. You learn very old technology like COBOL that still powers most of the banking software and nobody wants to port it because it works, but there's less and less people who could actually maintain it.
