I also used a commercial fridge that would display -0.0 (that's correct, it used a decimal of precision but still used the minus sign, presumably when it was rounded from a number very slightly under zero.

things, the type of precipitation you will get, they use +0 and -0. (Now I'm sure any American reading this would get confused)

Weather people use this strategy. Temperature predictions are always rounded to the nearest whole number, because predictions aren't that accurate (and who cares anyway). But because the difference between slightly more than zero and slightly less than zero is quite important to predict, among other

Now you make me curious. What's your English name and what diacritics were they forcing on you? I'm from QC, and I don't think anyone (sane) would do that on purpose, but I admit to accidentally putting diacritics on names all the time out of habit.

They are pushing you. Because if you keep going, they know they can manipulate you all they want, and you'll fall for the sunk cost fallacy and accept that lower position at a third of the salary than the one you initially applied for.

Because you are still going.
They want me? They have 15 minutes to decide if I'm the right person, and similarly they have 15 minutes to convince me to work there.
It's not a privilege for me to work there. It's a privilege for them to have me as an asset. I know my worth.

No, no. Please update. We need the Arch crew to tell us when it's time to update the kernel on Fedora.

Same for gold, milk and chicken. That doesn't make them currencies 😅
If you need to sell it to an intermediary to buy something else, that intermediary is the currency.

That's not it. The issue with cryptocurrency is that it's not a currency: there aren't any shops or individuals that will accept it as a payment for a debt. And with stupid people thinking of it as some investment, its value fluctuating by the minute makes it unsuitable to ever become one.
