At first I misread that as “zero day” for Antikythera mechanism. That would be a tough one to patch.



I spent a minute looking at the title and your comment thinking "but that's what it says..." then I realized "zero day" != "day zero"


This thread show how non-linear and non-deterministic reading is. Many people including me seems to have read "day zero" as "zero day" I wonder how our brains process text such that an out-of-order interpretation is possible. Probably helps that "zero day" is a common phrase (I'd argue "day zero" is pretty common too!)


Oh wow. I looked at it probably a dozen times and read it that way every time, until I read your post and tried again just now.


That's what they get for using cupric oxide. At this point they should rebuild it from scratch in ferric oxide.


I see what you did there.

Antikythera: Only one hole in the default install, in a heck of a long time!


Me too! I thought it was a late April Fool's joke.
