  • As another Canadian, I'd like to say that this dude does not speak for us all. We understand the cancer you're dealing with. Our tumors are smaller and less likely to metastasize but they are still there festering trying to eat their way to the surface.

  • Agreed. My many American friends and work colleagues are not meant to be represented by this eagle.

    The mean spirit of the president and his cabinet would be a better representation.

    But also... This is a shitpost.

  • Yes, I too am shocked by how easy it is for the state media and upper echelons of a long-standing democracy to start calling the leaders of other countries governors of their states and threatening annexation.

    This however, was just a funny little shit post...

  • And to address the argument on precision versus descending. I disagree. An instrument counting seconds is more precise than a machine counting minutes, hours, days, weeks, months etc... And that holds true through the chain. The precision is in the unit.

  • We can debate this all day. And I can't honestly say that I would take either side in a purely semantics argument.

    But the wording comes directly from RFC3339 which is, to me, the definitive source for useful date representation.

    https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt

    5.1. Ordering

    If date and time components are ordered from least precise to most precise, then a useful property is achieved. Assuming that the time zones of the dates and times are the same (e.g., all in UTC), expressed using the same string (e.g., all "Z" or all "+00:00"), and all times have the same number of fractional second digits, then the date and time strings may be sorted as strings (e.g., using the strcmp() function in C) and a time-ordered sequence will result.

  • You misunderstand my comment.

    I'm saying the digits in a date should be printed in an order dictated by which units give the most precision.

    A year is the least precise, a month is the next least, followed by day, hour, minute, second, millisecond.

  • I don't know why anyone would ever argue against this. Least precise to most precise. Like every other number we use.

    (I don't know if this is true for EVERY numerical measure, but I'm sure someone will let me know of one that doesn't)

  • He said that it was an appropriate response to drive through protesters on a road because he might be late for work. And then doubled down on that being a normal response to being inconvenienced.

    Run of the mill conservative energy.

  • Protest all you want. I’m not getting late to work because of you

    So are you gonna plow through them? Sounds like a sane response to being late for work.

    And if you care about the climate I have bad news - we would already be on the same side, but you only care up to the point that it will impact you personally, and that is why you suck.
