  1.  @John_Weiss  Unicode sucks. I'd share my idea of what we should replace it with, but YouTube keeps censoring me.

  2. As a programmer this is one of the things that bothers me when coming up with names for functions. Since I mostly use C, I tend towards an OVS ordering, but when I write C++ I prefer SV with no need to describe O as it's implicit. However, there are times when I need two O's or two S's and that can really complicate the naming conventions. For instance, say I have an arbitrary precision integer type that I simply named Integer, capital 'i', and I have a string type named String, and let's say that I wish to concatenate two subjects of each type of object. Obviously requiring either type to have a dependency on the other is a no go, but how then does one word it, StringAppendInteger or IntegerAppendString, and what order should they go in when calling the functions. This is obviously a simplistic example, but other more complex ones exist.

  3. I hope this series will cover mice communication. I'm always curious what they're trying to communicate to me when they're caught in a trap. Those cute little furry faces with their squeaks. I'm assuming it's as simple as "let me go", but who knows for sure.

  4. I wonder how long someone had to study mice to figure out all the sounds they make and did they just stick a bunch of microphones in their cages. I can just imagine some researcher with a mouse sized auditorium and they're taking notes on a clipboard while occasionally petting and feeding them.

  5. This probably sounds weird, but I had my cat for 14 years and I'd swear that we could understand each other without even speaking the same language. I think if cats lived as long as humans that I very well could have eventually gotten her to talk. Of course I have a theory as to why some people can communicate so well with animals, it just wouldn't be accepted by modern science.
