  • Docx doc rtf and all those have a different purpose than pdf, word docs don’t even necessarily look the same on two different computers with the same version of word, and rtf doesn’t even attempt any kind of paper description, it’s literally only a rich format for text. None of these are a true “if I give this to someone to print I know what I will get” “portable document format”

    I will look at fb*, I had not heard of them. Thanks!

  • You’ve said that’s beds are made out of meat before… is it just because of the colour? Surely other things share colours, why in this case does that equate to sharing materials?

  • When people use "minimum" or "maximum" and then follow that with a range.
  • “Minimum” in this could refer not to the number of years but to the criteria of eligibility. The sentence might mean “At minimum you have to pass the following eligibility criteria: between 5 and 10 years experience.”

    If they then give other criteria that you have to match, that’s nonsense :)

    Or I suppose it could mean they’re looking for someone with a minimum of five years, and while they’re not looking for someone with more than 10 years they will consider them. “We want someone with (hard minimum of 5) to (soft maximum of 10) years experience.

    Is the job for someone to improve the clarity of their communications by any chance?

  • Where Are the Sanity Checks?
  • Time Machine backups rely on hard links a lot, there are files in each snapshot pointing at the same data on disk. I imagine that could be what is going on here. This person could actually have had 60Tb worth of backup data sets on a 2Tb drive, only possible because there are very few differences between the data sets.

  • Much better to use a phone running an os built by an advertising company who decided that “don’t be evil” just isn’t them anymore.

    A product isn’t just what parts go inside.
