Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•sorting of Roman numeralsEnglish
11·15 days agoComputers sort by characters in order. In English order, I comes before either X or Y. So the fact that these characters are out of order, while on a computer that orders things numerically->alphabetically, means that every part of this image is out of order, by definition of its medium.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•sorting of Roman numeralsEnglish
14·15 days agoI’m not sure where the infuriating part is. Computers sort by the left-most symbol to the right-most. The fact that the years are in order is correct, even if the Roman numerals are offset, is still in…order…okay now I see.
It should be sorting alphabetically because X, V, and I, don’t go in that order outside of Roman numerals. Fuck now I am mildly infuriated. Not gonna edit so anyone that needs this revelation has it here.
I’m sure this distro has something like that.
Bruh I thought it was just me. Restarted it and reloaded a couple times each then gave up and booted up Valheim.



I love his perfect little mustache! 😻
