Stop using timezones? So every day would actually be two weekdays because at some random point in time it would switch date during the day. Let's meet next Monday wouldn't even specify a single day anymore in most countries. And there is no real benefit to stop using timezones, just downsides. Yes you'd know which time it is anywhere but you still wouldn't know of they are awake or not and have to either look it up or remember it - the same you have to do now.

Best thing is, they introduced some settings to turn that auto-conversion off and they don't work 🤣 can't make that stuff up.

"none of my friends from high school have ever bothered to contact me".

Best line 🤣 Maybe you should contact them.

Compared to many countries in Europe even US "left" is pretty right.

Probably to make sure the customers know that they mean it. There are often a lot of people coming in one minute before closing time that don't leave in time.

So finally they have a bot that closes everything because "duplicate" or "opinion"

Doubling every three months is an exponential interpolation and not a linear one!

I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.

This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It's about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.

Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.

🤣 I wasn't even sure if I should post it on lemmy. I mainly wrote it so I can post it under other peoples posts that actually are intended to artificially create drama to hopefully show enough people what the actual problems are with those puzzles.

But I probably am a fool and this is not going anywhere because most people won't read a 30min article about those math problems :-)

I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.

It's about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it's worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I'm probably biased because I wrote it :)

Could also be small hands, so he probably would also have to take someone else's fist to really prove it.
