I have a few minor quibbles about sublime, but I still use it for the bulk of stuff.

god forbid if you got a parahydrogen vs a orthohydrogen hydrogen. That reverse spin really messed up the 1's.

First thought, assuming that birth year starts at 1900 is bad for a number of reasons; one of which, "process this list of authors and ..."

What about everyone born before 1900?

>stuck on an old OS release (i.e. RHEL?) and/or they don't build their own version and use the "system" Perl.

I build my containers and put Perl right in them. Makes the container a little chubbier but no outside dependencies.

And would be awesome if it gave out the current time.

> window snapping/tiling

Put me in the camp that hates window snap/tiling.

I have a certain workflow that needs this window there, and this one here ... don't snap to a location or go full screen.

2nd'd & 3rd'd ...

You hired a 50 man lumberjack crew to cut down a sapling.

I've been spending a some time to remove IBM MQ out and going to "simpler" queuing solutions. First of all, cost. Guess what, we're not getting anything out of licensing per year to justify the cost.

With improving the end points, we don't need all that complexity. With 5 9's uptime on the network and smarter end points, retrying messages isn't expensive.

As always, YMMV.

>not only did the address wrap around to 0, ...

Very reminisce of the 6502 "issue" of jumping with an address on a page boundary.

Per Wikipedia:

the processor will not jump to the address stored in xxFF and xxFF+1 as expected, but rather the one defined by xxFF and xx00 (for example, JMP ($10FF) would jump to the address stored in 10FF and 1000, instead of the one stored in 10FF and 1100). This defect continued through the entire NMOS line, but was corrected in the CMOS derivatives.
