You could approximate it with typographical tricks, like parallel columns, analogous to split-screen video.

It would. You want it to be every 365.24 days (approximately). Which is what inserting a leap day accomplishes for everyone else.

I do remember Quora. Too bad it became overrun with bots and ads.

Addendum: don't judge intelligence by the *form* of someone's speech. The *content* is fair game.

So. Many. Convention. Business cards.
If I haven't yet emailed you after #LTUE, it's only because I have been following up with *so many other people*. I will get through all of these eventually....

Take it as an indicator that you shouldn't judge someone's intelligence by their speech.

That would be a "cutting off contact" offense for me.

My entire family is not-allergic to Costco's Hawaiian-style chicken. Woohoo! Fast dinner options have been hard to come by for a while.

Yesterday I Learned: at least one router-embedded DHCP server sends responses to the originator's MAC address instead of the last-hop address, which makes proxying DHCP through a subnet gateway unnecessarily complicated.

Not sure if they are better or worse than PT Cruisers. On the one hand, PTs actually look like vehicles. On the other hand, they're proportioned all wrong.

LTUE doesn't OFFICIALLY begin until tomorrow, but the Marriott is hopping already! We've had personal time with our experts in masterclasses, Matt Dinniman's holding a public book signing tonight, vendors are prepping their wares and our volunteers are setting everything up. Off to a great start!

A reminder after hours of examining hexdumps: if you have a supposedly-pure function which only works in exactly one location in the code, make sure you aren't accidentally reading past the end of a stack-allocated buffer and picking up a few bonus parameters you didn't know about....

Use your thumb as a pointer to count finger segments. That gives you up to 12 positions, plus a zero, on each hand. Treat each hand as a digit in a two-digit number. If you choose to just count up to 9 on each hand, that gets you 0-100. Using all 13 positions would get you to 169.

Apparently the metadata suggests that Utahns top the list of those most likely to boycott the Bad Bunny halftime show.

I'm utterly uninterested in watching the Superbowl, but now I want to tune in for Bad Bunny on general principles.
