Febranber. Those who know, remember.
My wife and I always wanted a joctober baby…
Genuine Question:
if you could split the month names into 3, how would you split them to maximise their choice overlap?
- “em” is a good overlap for nov/sept/dec
- “uar” is good for jan/febr
I assume the post is the maximum. I wonder if there is an algorithm for that
hierarchical letter clustering would be my guess, or graph-based clustering using ngrams of 2-4 as nodes and maximising for connections
Managust, the manliest of months.
We can clearly see that this design is silly, because it allows for so many invalid states. Yet when we represent some type, let’s say in Java, were so often forced to do this exact same thing. Have variables in a container of which only a certain combination is valid. And then have at most a comment saying “this number is only valid if X is also set” or “if the validity boolean is true”. Luckily Java finally has some ability for the so-called sum types now, just like Haskell’s data types or Rust’s enum types. Imo any language should have this.
Having data dependent on each other in a type means that either you have redundant data (so one of the fields should be computed) or that your container tries to be too generic (you should in this case prefer an ‘Apple’ class over a ‘Fruit’ class with an enum field ‘Type’)

Sounds like a medicine I shouldn’t take before asking my doctor if it’s right for me.
at least no bot will solve this
I use febr a rch btw
You know about neo-pronouns, get ready for neo-months
I understand that bad ui is a fun meme and all, but how did this one even cross their mind as an idea for a bad UI? This is a new level of convoluted I would not have even considered.
My guess: someone messed up trying to split an array and split a string from it and hilarity ensued.
It’s too unregular and too good to be a coincidence. Unless they threw an algorithm on it that was intended for whatever
To be clear, I don’t think the choices are a coincidence; I think the general idea is one.
Might be a decent way to sort out bots, actually.

They should have included an option for BC and AD.

12 options as 21. At least it counts as lines of code for a performance review
