yeah you're probably right

it never struck me as transphobic because the humor is in how wildly different the two readings are rather than what those readings are but i suppose it's treading the line a bit

The URL's also been hyphenated from day one, so the joke depends on misreading it on purpose. (The unhyphenated version did resolve for a while, but was never the canonical domain.)

You're missing the point. People aren't taking issue with their approach for working out which year the week falls into. They're taking issue with the choice to make YYYY = "this week's year" instead of "today's year". You have a specific date that you want the year component of so you use YYYY because it seems like the sensible choice after MM/DD. But instead you're given the year for tomorrow's date. It's pretty clear that this is unintuitive behaviour (made worse by the fact that it will appear to be working correctly right up until those couple of days where it doesn't).

Just to clarify, yyyy in lowercase gives you to the expected behaviour.

That depends. Did your bugs kill anyone?

I have no confirmed kills but dozens of safety issue bugs that had to be handled through capas and a couple of lawsuits. Nothing I've hosed up in my medical software career has caused a recall yet.

I feel like the 'random people I meet keep asking me to fix their stuff' days are long over. Everyone has figured out someone in their life that can fix their poo poo or how to get to geek squad because they rely on electronics enough that they have to.

Oh, meh. Every date formatting library I've ever encountered has made at least three weird decisions along these lines. Just use one of the standard ones like the objectively best ISO-8601 which is usually special-cased in formatter libraries worth using, eg DateTime.ToString("o") in .Net. If something specifies a non-standard format, there really need to be tests because, woops!, now you're hand-rolling serialization formatting and you need to be careful when handling poop.

“One point for the team was to demonstrate that it could be done,” Chaillan said. He challenged the Air Force and its partners to get Kubernetes up and running on a jet in 45 days, and while that was as difficult as it sounds, the team met the goal and F-16s are now running three concurrent Kubernetes clusters, he said.

The final patch was already scheduled for April 2020 to coincide with PyCon. Lots of people said it was dumb to put a patch out after the official EOL date and I guess they finally listened.

Edit: looking back, my characterization was a little harsh but the basic facts are true
