Before I got laid off, I was told by my manager of the company I was contracted to that people higher than him were wondering why I hadn’t installed the copilot extension in vscode; he strongly recommended I do so. So I did install it. I then proceeded to immediately set the ignored file types to “*” (which, for those who might not know, is shorthand for “everything”.) I didn’t hear anything about it afterwards.

Reminds me of tangrams

I used to contract with a company where it was almost ubiquitous for someone to start a text-based conversation with the entire message: “Hey…” — ellipses and everything. It was bad enough that other members of my company that were contracted to the same contract would jokingly add ellipses to random things when messaging each other.

It’s rounded to the nearest multiple of 10; it could be up to 5 (exclusively), and could still be listed as 0. It’s why so many lower-calorie products are listed with a zero-calorie serving size in the US. I’m not sure about the specifics of regulations — if any exist — on selecting serving sizes; this particular example feels a little fishy to me.
