Two Gyllenhaal back to back?
I saw Gosling posting for a while, only fair that Gyllenhaal gets his time in the sun
Glitch in the matrix
I bet the date wasn't in ISO 8601
I got some files from a supplier last month date suffixed mmddyy, ex: concept1-250426
I didn't even recognize it was a date stamp at first, until putting it alongside some earlier files from them with something like 190426
what the fuck kind of nearly useless date stamp is that
So they were dated the same day exactly 6 yrs apart. What a crazy coincidence.
I’m more of an RFC 3339 kinda guy
Heretic!
He prefers freedom rather than give money to useless companies.
arrays don't have indices. lists have indices. arrays have offsets.
I think you got that backwards sport. Index implies direct access but offset implies traversal.
no? an offset is just a number that you add to an address to get a new number. and index in a generic position marker.
The real reason she won't call back.
indeed. permanently off by 1.
This is a language dependent semantic difference.
I'll see myself out

§6.7.9 of the C11 standard says they have elements with indices:
If an array of unknown size is initialized, its size is determined by the largest indexed element with an explicit initializer. The array type is completed at the end of its initializer list.

Djikstra was so fucking wrong with this and people who parrot this are so annoying.
Sure, an offset starts at zero, but an index can very well start at one. Not all arrays represent a physical offset, please stop pretending your inferior zero only indexing is in any way superior.
Sometimes math is just simpler from one. When you’re translating math to code, one based indexes are usually better.
I shall not lower myself to use the newfangled Mathematical inventions of the Arabs and instead keep doing Mathematics like the Romans!
But how will you use zero-indexing without the number zero?
All I hear is nothing-indexing with nothing.

There is no second date because YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH:ii:ss'Z' is the only acceptable date.
Unless you're programming in VBA. But at that point you're already fucked anyway.
VBA arrays start at 0, unless you explicitly set it to start at 1.
Technically, VBA arrays start wherever you want them to and end wherever you want them to. Thing is, since VBA is usually interfacing with MS Office, you're heavily dependent on what the office APIs do. And unfortunately, they very often start counting with 1. So practically, you're generally starting your counting with 1.
