@DaveCTurner I think it's long press background, wallpaper and style, disable themed icons
English
WTF did Android just do to my icons? Do I really have to distinguish these things by shape alone now? Doesn't this break those apps' branding guidelines? How is this better?

@gibbondemon A nice slice of cake would make a good prize I reckon.

@MissAmyTobey Wild. Hat’s off to that mechanical engineer who designed this.

It’s multi-purpose! I can use it to light a fire, and also to … um …

TIL "simile" comes from Latin (similis) while "metaphor" comes from Greek (metapherein). English is such a Frankenstein language

@gibbondemon I found Tommy Edison's description of transparent objects to be thought-provoking, maybe there's a story idea here? youtu.be/UoyYSAAY3ks

My two favorite contributors to incidents:
1. There was a known issue, it was on the list of things to do, hadn't completed the work yet. Then that issue manifested as the incident.
2. Work that was being done to address a known issue, and that work contributed to the incident.

@xeraa Gonna be fun to see how often I can use "back-channel" in my security-unrelated PR titles...

"security wording was detected" is the next level of automated security scanners with questionable results 🙄

@b0rk I wrote a blog post about the diagrams I draw when debugging timezone issues here: davecturner.github.io/2019/04/14/tim…
English
do you draw diagrams on paper when debugging? what do they look like? I'd love to see examples if anyone is willing to share

@warkolm Theoretically seems reasonable, 12V DC is 12V DC, but the voltage in vehicles can vary a lot (± a couple of volts) and can be pretty noisy, whereas power from a regular battery is very clean, so it depends how tolerant the device is to this kind of thing.

@chrsmddck And were they open on 2021-12-28, there most recent Bank Holiday Tuesday?

@bjhomer But yes, my understanding is that ISO8601 dates are always interpreted in the Gregorian calendar (proleptic if needed), so 1582-10-14 would be right.
English
@bjhomer "The" Gregorian switch is misleading, different countries switched at different times. Britain and much of North America changed in 1752. Alaska switched when it changed hands in 1867. Sweden tried to change gradually but screwed up and invented Feb 30. It's a total mess.
English
So, if I’m understanding this correctly, October 4, 1582 (the day before the Gregorian switch) should properly be encoded under ISO 8601 as “1582-10-14”. Is that correct? Because in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, those dates weren’t skipped.
Seriously, dates are so weird.
Ridley @ Moved Away@11rcombs
@bjhomer As per ISO 8601 standard (which requires dates to be consecutive), JS is using the proleptic Gregorian calendar (which does _not_ have 10 missing days; October 4th 1582 in the Julian calendar is October 14th 1582 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar). Swift is wrong here.

@norootcause A cold cache (which can be fixed by warming it up)
Cold storage (slower to access but cheaper per unit volume)
We talk about hot code paths but not cold ones strangely.
English
Ops modifiers of the day: hot & cold
Examples:
* hot standby
* cold start
(There are a bunch of other "hot" examples I can think of but it's hard to think of other "cold" examples)

@srockets @hillelogram @janl_apache @colmmacc @lvh Tbf it didn't say it was using _mathematical_ induction (i.e. over N) and this is a legitimate use of _wellfounded_ induction.
English
Proof there are infinite primes: pick three primes, like 9, 24, and 87. Multiply them together (18792) and add 1 (18793). 18793 is not divisible by 9, 24, or 87, so either is prime or is divisible by some fourth prime. We repeat this to get a fifth prime, and so on inductively.
