Mr. Satan

Honestly I do remember some months, like starting and ending of the year. I don’t encounter English month names on a regular enough basis to remember their order and my month names in no way relate to English ones.

So anything after February and before August I have to google each time I encounter them.

It doesn’t help that we don’t even have month abbreviations like English does (Jan, Feb, etc.).

Jokes on you, I can’t fucking rember which English month is which. April, May, July and Autum is just a grey mass to me.

The Microsoft thing is entirely regional. It’s not that Microsoft does dates a certain way, it’s your regional defaults. I live in a country that does dates the ISO and the computer displays them thay way.

Someone once told me that american date format follows the same pattern as regular speech. Like "26th of April, 2004. It made some sense to me, but that still feels a silly reason to discard just the sorting benefits.

Judging from screenshots in this article, it doesn’t seem to loose or gain any functionality: all of the same controls are present.

With this in mind.
Who cares!? It’s neither good nor bad. It’s like the thing with playback line color. Yes, it’s different, no, I didn’t notice until some pointed it out, no, I couldn’t care less.

Right after commenting I did look for clues and I noticed these, but I doubt I would’ve checked if other comments weren’t pointing out it’s AI.

This didn’t ring my AI bells at all. Oof…

No it doesn’t, multiplication and division always take precedence over addition and subtraction. You’d need parentheses to clarify what is in the divisor since that can be ambiguous with line notation.

Times 5 and times 10 tables are really easy for me. So yeah, in my mind it’s an easier comuptation.

That being said having a result of a little over a 1000 gives me an estimate for the magnitude of a number – it’s around a thousand. It might be more or less but it’s not far from there.

72 * 10 + 70 * 3 + 2 * 3

That’s what I do in my head if I need an exact result. If I’m approximateing I’ll probably just do something like 70 * 15 which is much easier to compute (70 * 10 + 70 * 5 = 700 + 350 = 1050).

I’m a programmer and I definetly don’t like computers.

Me, the dev: “Nobody reported this as a problem… Ok, don’t care, moving on.” Also, if I can’t reproduce it, I can’t fix it, no point in wasting time more than that.

I would’ve said balls, but I can see an ass as well.

Speaking personal experience hence extremely biased.

Books ain’t worth shit by them selves. There is no better resource than experience. I learned programming and other stuff just by trying and the googling and reading up on the problem.

Books are only as good as they are searchable and can be used as a reasource to solve problems (and I’m not talking about literature in general, I love reading, just not profession related stuff).

TL; DR
I strongly disagree. Nothing tops just tinkering and figuring things out practically. My whole career is based on my ability to learn and solve IT problems and google is still the best tool for that.
