😂📚 Oh, #Dijkstra, bless his mathematically-obsessed heart, wants us to start #counting at #zero, as if we don’t have enough problems remembering birthdays! Instead of actually simplifying, he gives us four "conventions" that are as clear as a mud puddle. 🚀💥

🤔 Ah, the age-old dilemma of #counting #even #numbers in an array of #uint8_t values. Clearly, the real challenge isn't solving the problem, but rather making sure your solution is accompanied by a gratuitous examination of the #assembly #code generated by Clang. 🤖 Because, who needs a simple solution when you can have an #over-engineered one? 😂

Why is it that we have so many #counting concepts up to 12 or 60 like hours/minutes/12 pence in a shilling?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecim gives a speculatively explanation: it's based on a different way of using our fingers to count.

One thumb is an indicator that goes through all the 12 knuckle bones of the four larger fingers.

The other hand uses all 5 #fingers to count the number of dozens which enables you to count up to 60.

Seems a reasonable explanation to me.

"War deaths from malnutrition and a damaged health system and environment likely far outnumber deaths from combat."

"An estimated 3.6-3.8 million people have died indirectly in US war zones since 2001, bringing the total death toll to at least 4.5-4.7 million and counting."
