I understand, but I also don't have å or ø in my language, so my mental mapping is gonna be "a" and "o".

Then I power through what should have been my whole day of work in 2h30 before going to bed. Then I go try to sleep very late on an adrenaline high, wondering why I tend to burnout, cause I'm so great at this.

Anyway, the medication seemed to have calmed me down a bit on this.

Actually relevant. As long as you know the accents exist at all in those words. For me it's hard to remember them, especially in foreign languages I don't speak, I kind of remember the "phonetic" version in my language, if it makes sense. Sometimes we have common accents that do different things to letters or words. Other times it's just like nothing I've ever seen, so I have no idea how it's pronounced or what it is.

I find it hard to blame people for bad use of characters that they don't have on their keyboard layouts. I'm French speaking, I don't care if you're not putting an accent on "échelle" when writing to me in a casual conversation, I understand you mean "ladder" when you write "echelle".

Edit: Makes me think, I myself am often just working on something with the US layout at the same time as communicating in French, and not wanting to juggle between layouts, I just skip accents.

There has to be millions of IoT/embedded crap that runs some long obsolete OS version or whatever. Consumer stuff indeed shifted a looong time ago.

Silver lining is, they should be done with the IPv6 migration by then.

Ackchyually, the Y2K bug was pretty different. A lot of software, for various reasons, took to representing dates as a two digit number. This meant going from 1999 to 2000 would make that software try to understand dates going from 99 to potentially various of other values, like 00 or 100.

We're gonna have a different form of that on machines with 32 bit processors relatively soon. Past some time on Jan 19th, 2038, the epoch time, a count of seconds since Jan 1st, 1970, is stored as a 32 bit signed integer. At this time, it'll run out of positive values, will overflow, and cause the internal clocks of such machines to go back to 1901. It probably won't happen again after that, as the maximum date represented by the largest signed integer a 64 bit machine can store is 292+ billion years

Noto for desktop apps. Inter is nice too. Roboto was a long time favorite of mine too.

Iosevka for monospace. Hack and Fira Code/Mono are great as well.

Iosevka is so great. Not everyone likes the narrow look. I've tried other fonts a couple of times since I stumbled on it a good handfuls of years ago, but I always come back.

I see. But the custody part is kind of part of the game when having children, as and she's fully entitled with not being interested in having her children move abroad. Your previous comment kind of painted her as being inconsiderate and stifling her children's dreams. I'm curious as to why you even began applications without her buy in as well. She's not your wife anymore, but she's still the mother of the children.

The Kraft one isn't half bad

But then note I said "isn't half bad", not that it's great. But I'd say it works in a pinch, or if it's on sale...
