⟨test_account⟩ nevermind then

⟨the rocket science kid⟩ one of the past releases is Green, and another is l’Hôpital (doesn’t that mean hospital in French)

⟨the rocket science kid⟩ 伊藤 and 岩澤 look completely different as kanji. Those two Russian names literally look identical. There is one letter of difference.

⟨the rocket science kid⟩ I know Chinese so I don't know how hard it is to read these characters to foreigners, but stuff in Japanese alphabet thingys look different enough that I can differentiate between them.

⟨thunkii⟩ > This morning (Friday, June 16, 2023), the waning crescent moon was sighted in Blacksburg, VA (Lat: 37� 15' 40" N, Lng: 80� 26' 56" W, and elevation: 646 meters). I was at my sighting location by 5:13 am EST (moonrise: 4:25 am). The eastern horizon was partly cloudy with too much haze. Using a pair of binoculars (7X50), I started looking for the crescent. My first binocular sighting of the crescent moon was at 5:15 am....
<queqiao->
... Then I saw it with the naked eye. The horns were approximately at 5:30 and 9:30 O'clock (5:30;7:30;9:30). I left the area at 5:43 am (sunrise: 5:54 am). At 5:35 am, the temperature, dew point, relative humidity, and pressure were 58.0 F, 58.0 F, 100%, and 29.85 in, respectively.

⟨egg⟩ A bug involving overloaded equality and […] ⮪ Or maybe something to do with the horrible hacks to reconcile the thing that uses -1 as a null value and the one that uses an empty array.
<queqiao->
⟨fiora⟩ language designers: null pointer exceptions are a major cause of bugs and crashes. we should design languages without null
<queqiao->
programmers: -1 is now null
<queqiao->
⟨fiora⟩ * #define NULL -1

⟨egg⟩ (we tend to be less messy than this, but this is the interchange stuff where we generate interop code that deals with ownership transfers between the C# and C++ from protocol buffers, so it gets complicated)
