The same is true in Norwegian, but then they go and ruin it all with "oldemor" = "great grandmother", instead of persisting with e.g. "mormormor".

In the midnight hour, she cried ....

At least in danish, we have “bedstemor” which behaves likes “oldemor” in being the mother or fathers mom so it’s really that form that is consistent with the system and not the parent-specific forms.

The mother of the oldemor is called tipoldemor, and after that you just add as many tips as you need (in Danish but probably also in Norwegian).

No, they're saying they can't imagine it happening at a private company, but can once the company has gone public.

That works for new code, but I'm much less keen when maintaining legacy code. Sure, you could reformat every file and then proceed to work on them, but then you've had a serious impact on the version history, worsening tools like git blame and often making it harder to understand how a particular piece of code evolved. It's even worse if one reformats and then makes a code change in the same commit...

To expand, Brzozowski introduced derivatives and Antimirov partial derivatives. Essentially the former correspond to DFAs and the latter to NFAs.

> accounting for patient, procedure, surgeon, anesthesiologist, and hospital characteristics

This suggests to me that they have accounted for that to at least some degree. (I can't read the paper itself so I don't know the details.) At the very least I don't think one can simply dismiss the findings out of hand citing "if you think about it."

I've heard that some well-off parents will even send their children to schools with attendance fees...

It's unsurprising given the way it was phrased — very US-centric, and essentially that "if you disagree with me, you're as bad as Putin's soldiers in Ukraine"? Hardly the best way to encourage friendly debate.

Ok good point.

I'll fess up to having originally flagged it despite generally not liking doing that. I did so because of the "flamewar style" of the argument - single-purpose fresh account, personal attacks on anyone who disagrees, phrased in the most inflammatory way possible. A comment like that isn't looking for earnest discussion, and it would have been very easy to write something less likely to set off a shit subthread.

Besides, a later comment flatly asserting the impossibility of abuse, like three weeks after https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/19/fbi-intellig... did rounds in the news, smells like good old-fashioned trolling. Anyone seeking to seriously discuss this topic is aware of that development.

Very sad to hear. I interacted with him only a couple of times, but each time I came away with a very good impression of the man. And, of course, I'm very thankful for the editor he created that I've been using daily for over a decade now. He will be missed by many, and I'm sure intensely by some. Rest in peace, Bram.

Whoever that is, they aren't the project creator.

Sorry, but this really isn't relevant to the article. "A bad UI pattern" is not an invitation to rant about your unrelated UI pet peeves...

Well the OP was titled "The Worst UI Pattern in Existence". I offered a current UI that is worse to show how absurd the OP is. Seems plenty relevant
