   Proof at last! I always felt that the chimney sweeps seemed way too happy.

   Yes, I demand full and final information about what the heart attack I am currently suffering is going to cost me to be treated at this hospital.

   If I think you are trying to extort me, I am just going to go to another hospital.

   Clock arithmetic.

   Modulo 4: a clock with only four evenly-spaced marks on it.

   17 is congruent to 1 (modulo 4) means:

   Starting at the top of the clock, go clockwise one mark.

   Starting at the top of the clock, go clockwise seventeen marks.

   You'll end up at the same position.

   That's congruence.

   Genuinely surprised that someone applying for an internship at NASA does not know who Homer Hickam is.

   Looks like Carbon to me. In other words, fake.

   KeePassXC and Dropbox "just works," and it works on Windows, macOS, Linux, *BSD, Android, iOS, ...

   Dropbox can be swapped out with other storage services.

   Your transactions are recorded in the ledger FOREVER.

   Are your addresses going to stay private forever? Are you sure?

    There are two certainties in software development:

    0. A new technology will arise and it will be named 'X'

    1. Eventually someone will write an article titled 'X Considered Harmful'

    If companies had to give a penny to Sun for every device which used Java, nothing would be written in Java.

    What?

    Oracle threatens to sue people who use the word "Java" without paying them.

    GNU would very much like you to use "GNU" to recognize the contributions of GNU software in providing a usable operating system around the Linux kernel.

    How exactly does one remind you of the other?

    I think we should rename it to anything else which starts with the letter 'J' and ends with 'Script', or can be initialised as 'JS'. Anything else is a non-starter, because we're not going to rename countless millions of .js files.

    I was far more concerned about the application of AI to healthcare. Did they not think about the possible abuse from telling hospitals or insurance companies which of their patients are very likely to need urgent care within the next week?
