What about Timmy’s? I’m in Toronto and I think there is one on every block.

We’re talking about this: “Who gets to have the time-zone that’s noon at noon?”

That established the context that we are talking about time zones.

Actually you only mentioned timezone “who gets to have the time zone where noon is directly overhead” and then went into a rant about England vs France. You never once mentioned the meridian.

the correct time zone is UTC not Greenwich Mean Time.

I was going to ask if they count the frontage roads as part of the highway in TX. Because that’s not right.

By your logic it would be a positive for your code to have errors/warnings. And on the latter, that would appropriate if there was a test that determined if you are free from all known diseases (or at least those that it can detect).

That’s why I said false negative. The medical test is testing for the presence of a disease. So if they find the disease is considered a positive test (it found what it was looking for). For static analysis on code, its the opposite. Its testing if your code is free of issues that it can detect. If it finds no issues, then the test was positive. If does find issues, the test failed and each issue is a negative that contributed to the test failing.

Warnings and errors are negatives not positive. So if it generates a warning that is OK, it’s a false negative.

Then things will have to wait until the code is of sufficient quality to be accepted.

My experience is exactly the opposite. I don’t work for a FAANG but I’ve been around the block a bit. Its always the junior devs that try and add new warnings etc to the code base. I always require warnings to be cleaned up even if that means disabling specific instances (but not the whole rule) because the rule is flagging a false negative.

I had an issue years ago with a tv and a dvd player. For whatever reason, whenever the dvd player was connected, the tv would blank out every few seconds. At some point I posted on the tv manufacturer forums. I did eventually figured out that I leave a thumb drive connected to the tv, the problem disappeared. I wanted to let people know about my work around. I got 1 result – the forum post I had made quite a while back.

I’m pretty sure it was an HDCP issue.

This actually just affected me this weekend. I was out of town about 12 hours from home. My son was watching new dog that I’ve had for a month. She was puppy mill breeder so didn’t have good medical care. Anyways she had a bought of hemmoraghic gastroenteritis and I told my son to take her to the ER (regular vet was closed). The one I had gone to for about 30 years was no longer on google (my last dog died in 2019). There happened to be a new one not to far. I wanted to make it easy on my son so I told him to go there. It was a chain (Blue Pearl) that had bought out the previous emergency vet that I used to go to. Their facility was very nice but it cost $2600 to have her there for 24 hours. None of the of fees were super expensive but they added up.

If they are corporate, that means they have an office somewhere with a lot of people to pay. Bigger overhead means they need greater income to meet their gross profit targets.

I never said that users were involved in this. This is just grabbing some bugs off the queue that are simple to fix but have been deprioritized by project manager.

But they do make the customer happy because they are the one that submitted the bug.

Those would not be considered low hanging fruit.

I thought that buffoon was out of my memory Everybody Loves Eric Raymond

I am steadfast that I will occasionally take some time and kill off some low hanging fruit. For me, its kind of like a break and lets me clear my head on the bigger issues.

And its pronounced “Brad”

I just go the official docs even if their old and then switch to the latest version once I’m on the website. Most of the software I use has easy index to switch between versions.

PHP for one. “$x” will interpret the variable $x. ‘$x’ does not.

I happen to watch Life Below Zero as background noise and other salmon fishing has been banned for a few years. A couple of the cast members used to catch large quantities of fish to feed their sled dogs.
