@heyitszeyla That happens a lot to me and my "unusual" https://t.co/Lbcslva0ua domain. Sites often try to autocorrect it to https://t.co/0nGoZZKjtg. 😖

@heyitszeyla The neat thing about the US design is that the plugs can be optionally polarised (just by having the prongs be the same width), whereas the Aus/NZ plugs are always polarised.

[C. K. Young @cky944]

@heyitszeyla The asymmetry is pretty clever and enables your kettle, etc. to have ungrounded polarised plugs. The plug design used in Australia and New Zealand is another example of this. 🤓

@heyitszeyla I'm constantly amazed by how many sites' "security" teams (or whoever decided to disable pasting) don't use password managers. 🤯

Most of us haven't used floppy drives for over 2 decades. So why should the A: and B: drive letters still be reserved? Wouldn't it be more logical to make A: the system drive? I thought so, so I went ahead and did it. 🤓

@futuresprog Guess I'll find out soon enough! Luckily I have this setup in a VM snapshot so I can roll things back if it gets too catastrophic. I'll file bug reports for stuff that breaks, just like I filed bug reports for programs that didn't handle `argc == 0` correctly. 🤓

@zigdon I know, right? Names like A:\Windows\System32 are still weird to me, but, I felt much the same way when I tried variable-width fonts for coding for the first time. After a while, I got used to it. I'll get used to this, too. 🤣

Also, happy 31st, @taylorswift13, and congrats on evermore! I've been listening to it back-to-back for two days.

[C. K. Young @cky944]

Happy 30th @taylorswift13!!! 🥰 Also happy Friday the 13th! 🍀

ECMAScript + JSON = ECMA-262 + ECMA-404 = ECMA-666. 😈 Thoughts? BEAST MODE, or the coming of the apocalypse?

I hope a .NET version of @kotlin arrives, not just so that it's the One Language To Rule Them All, but also as a vehicle for the One Brace Style To Rule Them All. #kotlinlove

[C. K. Young @cky944]

My #1 fave @kotlin feature: 1TBS is *mandatory*. "In Kotlin, semicolons are optional, and therefore line breaks are significant. The language design assumes Java-style braces, and you may encounter surprising behavior if you try to use a different formatting style." #kotlinlove

@GemsOfWar Queen Titania, without a doubt. I ❤️❤️❤️ her.

@GemsOfWar I'm a Cancerian, and yes, that description does sound like me. Lol.

@GemsOfWar The ginger kittens back when they were much more kittenish. 😻

[C. K. Young @cky944]

@GemsOfWar Sage and Lucian, our ginger kittens, recently turned 1 year old.

[C. K. Young @cky944]

@GemsOfWar Luna is our 7-year-old "teacup kitty". She's not teacup-size any more, but she's still tinier than Lucian and Sage.
