1·2 months agoFun fact. The ADB Apple Desktop Bus connector had four pins. Power, ground, one for the power button, and one for all other functionality. That’s daisy chained keyboards, mouses and drawing tablets. All data in one single pin. And one for the power button.
USB-C also fits surprisingly well in a USB-A socket. Great feature in the dark.

It’s the same reason why ”Violets are blue”.
On the other hand… ”why do things fall down?” Now THERE’S a rabbit hole.

Hi. Welcome to the Internet.

14·11 months agoOne night there was a storm, and Master Wq’s house collapsed. The next morning he began to build it again using his old tools. His novice came to help him, and they built for a while and were making good progress. As they worked, the novice began to tell Master Wq of his latest accomplishments.
“Master, I have developed a wonderful Vim script to give all sorts of useful information about a document. It counts the words, the sentences, the paragraphs, and even tells you what kind of document it is using the syntax highlighting rules. I use it in my pipelines all the time. It is a thing of beauty, and I am very proud. Truly, Vim is the greatest tool!”
Master Wq did not reply. Thinking he had unwittingly angered his master, the novice fell silent and continued his work.
The novice finished aligning two beams and had positioned a nail ready for beating into the wood, but found the hammer was out of reach.
“Would you pass me the hammer, master?”
Master Wq handed the novice a saw.
At once, the novice was enlightened.
Artificial Incompetence
I’d have said Mi-fan-oi?

Vi Hart made a video about this years ago. The number of spirals going right and left on a pineapple are always two consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. But in Spongebob there are six going both ways. It’s all a lie! Wake up sheeple!
New rule: only six tall people allowed per flight.
Same with Picasso for me.
