I mean, with nine lives, does the cat start at one again after a life has been used?
Or is there some Cat Encoding Scheme (CES), like:
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, oops
21, 22, 23 oops
31, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 oops
etc.

I think there's a correlation with weight.

Nope, just a simple mod ten counting. After number nine is over they reset to zero.

You mean like Doctor Who[^]? Asking the time lords to help and get an entire new set of regenerations? 
But who would the cats ask?

- The COVID Modelling software - gave a different result every time it was run. It'll be fine!
- The Track & Trace App. Yep, no prob, will have that done by tea-time.
- Exam Results 'Algorithm'. Of course we can accurately predict the GCSE & A-Level results for every student. Did you say 'anagram'?

When will Software Developers realize the data being supplied by the Government can't be trusted?

I think that applies to everyone, not just SWDs.

The developers in this case is often somebody's brother, mother, wife, high-school chum, frat boy, etc.

Relevant video. The whole video is interesting imo but when I read your comment I was like "I know I've seen an example of exactly this recently..."

Not written by a developer, and been in use for years before that with the same errors. COVID, if anything, forced them to update it a bit.
..doesn't say much about being trustworthy. Lots of "devs" entering the field after a "reeducation" which took mere weeks. If you pay for that, you get what you deserve.
And we running; commercial private messaging is becoming an option. Unbreakable private messaging.

The trouble is politicians only understand politics, so they rely on advice from experts.
Minister: We need a world beating track & trace system.
Consultant: It will cost, but we can have it ready in a couple of weeks.
Minister (at press conference): We are creating a world beating track and trace system. First test will be on the Isle of Wight, starting a fortnight on Monday.

That's OK - your external shares probably won't work after the update anyway ...

Looks like Microsoft has provided another saucer full of secrets. Ummgumma take note of your experience, and plan accordingly. Probably take a walk in Grantchester Meadows while the the update runs, then head down to the cave to groove with some small furry animals.

I am curious how many readers got the reference in the subject line.

It must be at least ten years since last time I listened to it. I'll dig it up right now!

1966. As for the reference, I only expected about 1 of 10 to get it. Somehow I thought of Ax when the update seemed stuck.  To be fair, the earlier Floyd was a little too weird for me...prefer Gilmour's vocals.

Never heard of a catfish?

You are barking up the wrong sea... catfish are freshwater.

Purrhaps, or maybe a sea-lion.
