In a big org, it's basically unavoidable that you'll have overlapping abbreviations.

One process will have a Product Owner, another a Purchase Order, both called PO.

One process will have a Purchase Requisition, another a Pull Request.

Fine.

Can we at least actively avoid having conflicting abbreviations within one process?

It is unreasonably hot for October.

When can we have our next typhoon, please?

Roaming the office looking for an unused docking station to fast charge my USB device.

Ok, I only had to roam one row over to see an empty desk.

An IPv4 number where all bytes are three digits in decimal is treated by Excel as ... a decimal number with thousand-separator periods. 🤦

How did I never fall into this trap before? 😅

@jonobie To be fair, the Joseon era spans centuries, so it won't necesssarily be so packed with time travelers. 😊

But I haven't seen many other K-dramas, this is my second or third only, and my first time-travel one. Do they all go to the early 1400s?

@jonobie It seems the timing on Netflix's subs for this show did not receive much editing and proofviewing. The translation for the on-screen Hangul would be up for like a tenth of a second, but then someone would say something and that would immediately replace the previous subs.

My wild guess regarding the obvious explanations is that maybe a term was translated into an English self-explanatory term, but to a Korean reader, the original text might be using an archaic term.

Ok, so it's a palace drama. Within the first episode, people have already been shot with arrows, put in the stockades etc.

For the main character, it's no worse than working in a French Michelin Star kitchen.

Overall, it is cute and fun. All the tropes are there, but medium rare to well done, not overcooked.

The show concluded last weekend. It was cute and fun, occasionally with bloodied swords everywhere.

There are now Korean ingredients in my kitchen that weren't there before.

Ooh, Garmarna released a new (to me) album three years ago!

Garmarna: "Förbundet" (full album, 42 min)

Garmarna play Swedish melancholic heavy electric folk music, and this album is a real soundscape, very crisp and rhythmic with violins, drums and electric guitars. Is there a key harp (the Swedish bowed hurdy gurdy-like) on this album? I will have to listen more carefully to say.

Emma Härdelin has that wonderfully precise and wide-range "kulning"-inspired vocal performance from raspy alto up to falsetto, strong diaphragm, and a few ethereal half-tones here and there, just like the other modern-folk greats like Ulrika Bodén and Sofia Sandén of (sadly disbanded) Ranarim.

Now I want to go back and relisten my favorites with Garmarna, Hedningarna and Hoven Droven.

#Garmarna #Förbundet

Reading this 2 years later makes me want to go back and listen to those bands again, again.

Great thread, me!

The storm is now west-southwest of us, 180 km away, and 2 h ago (13:20 HKT), the Observatory lowered the storm warning from T10 to T8. We have lifts again. 😊

T10 was raised at 02:40 HKT. I woke up 2-3 times from the wind, but there was nothing so extreme that you'd fear the windows would blow out.

Lifts are suspended, as power can be unreliable during a strong storm.

Now it's 09:50 HKT and it's raining outside, but not very windy. Up on the mountain peaks, the Observatory says winds are over 100 km/h with gusts over 200 km/h.

This could have been a storm worse than Mangkhut in 2018 if it had hit us straight on, but it passed 100 km south of us and is continuing further westward.
