Seems like OP has conflated the job queue and the job scheduler here.


I could count the number of times I've written a detailed summary in the body of a commit message, and had it read by my colleague reviewing who then didn't need to leave a comment on the PR asking why I did _x_ on zero hands.


Then I just have to learn to read sheet music to figure out what each specific tune means


What's wrong with "large language model"?


Naming things using qualifiers like "large" has never aged well when transistors were involved.

For example, consider the term "short wave" radio which refers to wavelengths of at least 10 meters. Today's mobile communications use wavelengths 100x - 10,000x shorter.


Seems like a lot of people are upset about other people calling both apples and oranges “fruit”.

As a non-American I don't know what "basic cable" is (or what the other tiers are), just that you don't have free-to-air TV


As far as I'm aware the US does have free OTA TV. A quick google tells me that basic cable means the cheapest tier of cable. So maybe equivalent to a sky/cable entertainment package?


Yep, we do have free OTA television. Basic Cable generally comprises the local free OTA channels plus a number of mostly ad-supported channels.

The basic cable A&E began its life as “Arts & Entertainment” and was originally a mix of British import shows and high culture presentations (e.g., televised orchestra concerts). But much like carcinisation in aquatic invertebrates, for basic cable, apparently channels tend to evolve towards mostly showing Law & Order reruns.


I've watched the World Cup over free-to-air TV, US has a really fun match last night. I don't know where you got this idea from. I haven't paid for television service in decades.


> (IE; I never use the word "chip" to mean crisps or fries - I will instead use "Crisps", despite it being british, and fries, despite it being American; in order to avoid ambiguity.)

In Australia we don't care about ambiguity or clarity and refer to both the thin sliced cold things and freshly fried rectangular ones as "chips"


I was using a standard/non-silent HHKB but found it a little too noisy for a quiet office. Plus I like using arrow keys and found I'd get a sore pinky with the HHKB layout.

I'm back to a cherry style board with silent tactile switches now but have half a mind to try and find a 75%ish layout with exploded arrow keys and with silent Topre switches.


Given how long staggered qwerty has been around (longer than computers have existed for) I wouldn't hold my breath


Mathematicians don’t skip past the basics and jump straight into differential equations just because we have calculators, nor do chefs eschew knife skills because we have food processors.
