Memory isn’t infinite, CPUs can’t process all integers, and Santa isn’t real
Wait, what? Need a spoiler tag.
“It’s freaking me out!”
Wow, that’s very thorough! Thank you for the explanation!
How similar are Arabian dialects? Can they talk to each other and be understood, like British and American, or have they drifted so far that they’re unintelligible?
“If it’s Boeing, I’m not going”
My guess, they don’t (didn’t) want to pay for support.
If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Employees make a choice to work there and therefore choose to be part of that problem.
Not going to trust a distribution from China, even if it does claim to be open source.
Thanks for the explanation!
Buy a visa/Mastercard gift card from the supermarket with cash? Or have I missed your point?
Two equally plausible explanations:
Since version 3, TeX has used an idiosyncratic version numbering system, where updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit at the end of the decimal, so that the version number asymptotically approaches π. This is a reflection of the fact that TeX is now very stable, and only minor updates are anticipated. The current version of TeX is 3.141592653
How ableist of you. Like so many others, if I could ride a bike I would.
It already exists and is called UTC. I worked in an office that provided “follow the Sun” technical support, we had offices in France, Germany, Washington, New York, Australia, and everything ran on UTC time. Much easier to coordinate meetings and shift handovers. Took a while to learn to think in UTC time as well as local time, though.
This has been my experience of agile in multiple workplaces.
If anything goes wrong with the deploy script, such as failing tests, no harm will be done because the script exits upon the first error encountered.
How do you clean up? Once the deploy script is fixed, how do you know what’s been done and what needs redoing?
Have you considered ansible/puppet/chef/salt — environments dedicated to deployment and cleanup, with idempotency to allow for fixing and repeating the deployment, across multiple operating systems and versions?
I was part of a team that was trained in COBOL to help update code in time for Y2K. We’ve been headhunted by the same company several times in the last ten years to further update and maintain the same code, originally written in the mid-1970s. I’m now 56, and I suspect that code base will live at least as long as I do.
