Error'd: Mais Que Nada

Date:

Share:

I never did explain the elusive off-by-one I hinted
at, did I? A little meta, perhaps.
It is our practice at Error'd to supply five nuggets of joy each week.
But in episode previous-plus-one, you actually got six!
(Or maybe, depending on how you count them, that's yet
another off-by-one. I slay me.) If that doesn't tickle
you enough, just wait until you hear what Dave L.
brought us. Meanwhile…

"YATZP" scoffed self-styled
Foo AKA F.
Yet Another Time Zone P*, I guess. Not wrong. According to Herr Aka F.,
"German TV teletext (yes, we still have it!) botched the DST start
(upper right corner). The editors realized it and posted
a message stating as much, sent from the 'future' (i.e. correct) time zone."

 

Michael R.

wrote in with a thought-provoker. If I'm representing
one o'clock as 1:00, two o'clock as 2:00, and so forth,
why should zero o'clock be the only time represented
with not just one, but TWO leading zeroes? Logically,
zero o'clock should be represented simply by :00, right?

Meanwhile, (just)
Randy
points out that somebody failed to pay attention to detail.
"Did a full-scroll on Baeldung's members page and saw
this. Sometimes, even teachers don't get it right."

In case Michael R. is still job-hunting
Gary K.
has found the perfect position for everyone.
That is, assuming the tantalizingly
missing Pay Range section conforms to the established pattern.
"Does this mean I should put my qualifications in?" he wondered.
Run, don't walk.

And in what I think is an all-time first for us,
Dave L.
brings (drum roll) an audio Error'd
"I thought you'd like this recording from my Garmin watch
giving me turn-by-turn directions: In 280.097 feet turn right.
That's two hundred eighty feet and ONE POINT ONE SIX FOUR INCHES.
Accuracy to a third of a millimeter!" Don't move your hand!

Alas, your browser does not support this audio.
