TIL about academy.europa.eu, and that they have self-study material/courses for each EU language
including placement tests that estimate your skill level/find appropriate courses with the CEFR scale
very neat :o

@0xabad1dea the yolocolo at european chaos/hacker events has used "9.9999% is also five nines" in some posters...
maybe that's the logic Github's operating by too

@eltonfc @jjj I'm a bit curious now, what form would you use for labels for push/pull on a door e.g? or if you had a physical switch with labels for open/close, or so
(They'd all be imperative in swedish, and I think the UI commands/tooltips are sort of an extension of the same "kind" of label, so at least to me imperative also feels natural)

@Steel_Virgin @typeswitch for (1), assignment evaluates to the new value after the assignment (so (p)[index] here).
for (2), (do this, return that) is pretty much the behaviour here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_operator
it's kind of important for C reasons since it acts as a sequence point (meaning the left-hand side is guaranteed to be fully evaluated before the right-hand side)
TIL my kitchen scale supports _three_ units, rather than the usual two...
and I question the utility of this third additional unit

@eltonfc this is interesting, I answered (imperative, imperative) but that seems to be in the minority
that said, I think for quite a lot of cases (any ending in -a I think, which is quite common) there'd be a similar ambiguity in Swedish

@simonomi yes very good. I wrote my own hexdump tool for similar reasons (and some other bits and bobs I wanted), and would encourage regular hexdump users to write their own too and tune it to their preferences
the main other feature I added is an -rto specify a byte range, and I use something like hexd -r 0-0x40 *.foo way too often to compare headers of a bunch of files quickly (e.g.)

@halcy@icosahedron.website yup, as in https://academy.europa.eu/local/euacademy/pages/course/assessment-overview.php?title=estonian-placement-test (for estonian)
it's kinda fun, now I have better estimates of my skill level in sv/en/de/fr/fi :3

@rebane2001 almost a miracle the second (even more broken) hat doesn't interfere with the folder or no-visibility icons

@JosJuice huh maybe this is more common than I thought.. I figured it was just a grams/fl.oz. switch until I noticed I had mine accidentally set to ml heh

@turmoni wait right, good point... I didn't even think carefully about the imperial unit used here, that's not even mass either!
in fact I can't seem to put it into lbs (although it looks like the LCD has markings for "lb")

@grawity@social.treehouse.systems who needs lockfiles when you can just define your version string to have a mini-DSL encoding the same information,
