@matt40k Unsurprisingly, I had Windows Mobile before Windows Phone, you know before apple "invented" the smartphone...

@emcavell Trust me, most people with often misspelt names are used io it, and sometimes collect new misspellings 😁

i live in fear of accidentally misspelling a journalist's name in an email and seeing a post about it on here (if i ever do this please know i am so sorry and probably tried to panic-recall it)

@Lowball42 @davidfowl There was the activeperl compiler that would let you compile perl to. Net...

Can you guess what language this is?

@matt40k 🙄

@matt40k That feels like it should be part of a thread?

@petersharding @JackTindale They run the wholesale business for magazines and newspapers. So even if you buy at (say) Tesco, they get a cut of the sale.

@JackTindale How are they still going, it’s absolutely incredible.

There's definitely a case for picking appropriate data types in database design, otherwise you end up with things like:

Oh, the irony...

@PeteCatMN @SwiftOnSecurity Especially in high DPI mode 😁

@SwiftOnSecurity if you really want to scare them, print something on a dot matrix printer.

Oh my god someone posted to Reddit they just bought a hard drive and it’s making grinding sounds. They posted a video. It’s the read head moving. They’ve never heard a hard drive before. 💀

@shanselman Is the true irony that the complaint came from an AI engine?

Today in unhinged emails from randos who think my podcast is AI

Oh the irony, when the @visualstudio error reporting is also broke

Nope, I'm still hungry, with food being delivered up to two minutes ago, over an hour after it was ordered. Seems @KFC_UKI don't understand the concept of "fast" food 😔

For extra fun, when the ETA did update, it still had a start time 7 minutes prior, and given the store is easily a 5-10 minute drive, that's some awesome time travelling driving still. Naturally, the original ETA has long since expired...

I don't know what amazes me most: that @JustEatUK expect to deliver in the past, that @KFC_UKI take sooooo long, or that I keep reordering expecting a different outcome...

@matt40k Absolutely

@matt40k Even that's living dangerously

@matt40k I go in the toilet, I don't trust the phone to b that waterproof

@matt40k What are you planning on streaming whilst in the loo?

@matt40k @fusionet24 Yeah, I've seen some of your code 😜
