I was actually remembering a discussion in the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy where development of the wheel was much delayed because the Golgafrichians couldn't decide what colour they should be!

Also being pedantic, it should have been "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". Note the casing.

Being truly pedantic, it should be "note the case".

I don't want to go off on a tangent but this strikes a chord.

This post is replete with circular logic.

The circle is the point if you get around to it.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

If we're ever going to fix those un-straight-edged things, we have to start by adding points somewhere.

Initially, yes, but as r approaches 0 they approach a point.

So apparently there's a bug[^], dating back to at least 2009 and still present today where a zip created on a mac isn't readable anywhere else if it contains a file larger than 4GB. I'm a bit disgusted if not overly surprised that neither crApple nor Micro$haft care enough to fix an interoperability problem between their OSes; but the fact that 3rd party tools like 7zip for windows can't open the zips either caught me by surprise.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I worked once wiuth a jackass who found an obscure deffinition of CSV format which was incompatible with that poroduced by Excell or Lotus Notes etc. And the prick went and used this format in his code rendering it incmpatible with pretty mucvh everything else in the world.
What a prick.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Commas CRs and LFs in an unusual combination. It was an old and obscure format, and one that wasnt used. Yet this complete dick insisted on being a prat and using it.
