UTC is better than most, but leap seconds are still awful. Computers should use GPS or TAI everywhere. Dealing with time zones and leap seconds is for human readability and display purposes only.
CBOR for life, down with JSON.
It’s a parody of overserious memes that are trying to sound edgy and badass. The archetype is a gun-wielding skeleton that’s riding a motorcycle and saying something about thin blue lines, but wolves and other imagery are also adjacent.
Instead, THE_PACK takes that aesthetic, cranks it up to 12, and adds some silly text. Everyone is role-playing as a skeleton that’s obsessed with motorcycles (hogs). You have to TALK IN ALL CAPS to be heard over the engine noise. And everyone’s friendly and welcoming in a way that edgelords aren’t.
A few great examples from the last year or so:
Can anyone prove it’s NOT an extra-long cow?
NES only has two buttons, but it did establish the “A on the right” norm. The SNES established the four-button diamond labeled A, B, X, and Y.
Nintendo set the standard in 1990 with the SNES. Microsoft broke it in 2001 with the Xbox.
US Army logistics catalogs are organized this way. “Cookies, oatmeal” instead of “Oatmeal cookies” because it’s a lot easier to find what you need an a giant alphabetical list.
This isn’t funny, this is just the sad state of software these days.

Don’t worry, this just means your job is safe from being replaced by AI. No search results means no training data.
Voicemail was a mistake. I wish more services would let me disable it completely.
No bounds checking, only fast.
STOP! You have violated the law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit.
I have an infallible Machine of Death Certificate indicating I will die of “knife justice”.
My head canon is that Tony Stark has a superpower: everything he builds works the first time.
If it’s really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it’s perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.
In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.
