I used to work on an old DOS product and we didn’t have a debugger so we used to have a DEBUG command line argument with

if (DEBUG) printf(“debugging”);

to try to see what was happening and the number of times that code alone fixed the problem was scary.

We would definitely pronounce our as “are” in some cases., usually when referring to a person. “Our kid” or “Our Jack” would have been pronounced “are”.

It is arbitrary, yes. Part of the reason for daylight savings time was simply to match most people’s waking hours to a standard time throughout the year.

You can make the time that you have more useful though.

There are activities that you can do in the dark and some that you can’t do in the dark. I imagine that they wanted to sleep in late which was cutting into hunting time so they changed the time zone so that it was dark while they were sleeping and light a bit later to allow for more hunting.

It’s why we have daylight saving time.

We still have the UK implementation of GDPR. That didn’t go away when we left the EU.

We won’t have any changes to it that might have happened since brexit but we didn’t remove the law either.

I always find the statement “we care about your privacy” to be a bit meaningless when they then say that they’ll share data with 100s of partners.

That’s what I’m thinking. The homeowner installed it to fake meeting code.

Maybe it’s not changed then because I was using it in the early 2000s. 😀

We used to use Redmine and it was a fantastic piece of software.

I’m not sure that’s the fault of XML though.

It’s more the fault of the implementation and documentation.

We have a WCF service with an odd configuration and nobody has been able to integrate with it that didn’t use Microsoft tools. It’s definitely not XML’s fault.

(That service has been replaced with a REST API now)

It seems that they intend Microsoft Loop to be the collaborative notes app now.

It’s replaced OneNote as the meeting notes app and it has more flexible access control.

Currently they also only have one version as it’s a progressive web app (that might change with time though).

I guess that that’s all that matters.

Did it take time to get used to or did it work straight away?
