Apparently it's not the coders, it's the standard they've got to code against - BS7666 From Annex D. Explanation of Unified Modelling Language (UML) notation:
CharacterString: a sequence of alphanumeric characters
So no apostrophes.
So... "St Maryapostrophes Way" ?
Reminds me of the guy who's name is NULL: https://www.wired.com/2015/11/...
Is he a relative of Little Bobby Tables?
Donâ(TM)t water down the language to avoid writing good code.
Alternative: Simply make all the signs using Apple devices -- St. Maryâ(TM)s Walk -- no apostrophes!
Grok's differentiator from other AI chatbots like ChatGPT is its exclusive and real-time access to X data.
You say that like it's a good thing. Have you read some of the stuff there?
And Plato in turn was Socrates pupil.
A scroll of Socrates' last minutes might reveal his last words to have been, "Say, just what kind of tea did you say this was?"
From the movie Real Genius:
Chris Knight: I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
Plato — who was known as a disciple of Socrates and a mentor to Aristotle,
Heh. Anytime I hear discussions of these guys I can't help but think about Chidi's Ethics Lesson in S1E3 of The Good Place:
Chidi: So Aristotle was Plato's student. And Aristotle believes that your character is voluntary, because it's just the result of your actions, which are under your control. For example, right now, you have made the insane choice to ignore the person who is literally trying to save you from eternal damnation.
Eleanor: No, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm listening. Uh, I just... are we sure we should be paying attention to these guys? It's like, who died and left Aristotle in charge of ethics?
Chidi: [points to blackboard] Plato!
If Ubuntu shut down, there'd be no Mint.
Nope, there's a version of Mint based directly on Debian.
I'm confused now.
There's a shortage of available IPv4 address and that scarcity creates "value".
There's no shortage of IPv6 addresses, so no (or less) "value".
How have you actually switched from Ubuntu when Mint is based on Ubuntu? I see these statements all the time and the self-deception is mind boggling.
Mint comes with slightly different, as well as Mint-developed, apps pre-installed and no snaps. They have different installers and Mint is a bit easier to manage, especially for newer users, though that wasn't a major factor for me as I have 30+ years as a Unix(ish) admin.
As for Ubuntu, I used it up to version 18.4 but soured when Canonical started pushing snaps, and delivering some apps only as snaps (like Firefox, Emacs) -- w/o having to resort to PPAs to get the packaged versions. While I'm not a huge fan of Snap (or others, like Flatpak) I really don't like being *forced* to use them and I probably would have stayed with Ubuntu if they had left it as a choice.
Also, extending your logic, one might ask how running Ubuntu is not actually Debian as the former derives from the latter, but there are obvious differences, as there are with Mint and Ubuntu.

I started with BSD
And by that I mean 4.3BSD on a VAX 11/785 -- I'm old.
systemd (some hate it, others love it)
I think the main complain is that it does, or tries to do, too much -- certainly more than it *needs* to do (eg: DNS) -- and some not in the way it ideally should (eg: PID 1). Basically it suffers from mission creep and bloat.
Personally, I started with BSD and have used or been an admin on many flavors of Unix -- I think I've used them all except those from Apple -- as well a several flavors of Linux (I prefer the Debian-based ones, I currently use Mint) and they have run the gamut of system startup/control methodologies from free-form scripts that often have to be hand edited to the more structured ones, like Solaris SMF, and (sigh) systemd, etc... I prefer the latter group as it's easier to automate modifying and control them. That doesn't change my "basically" feelings about systemd above though.
I have given up with Ubuntu years ago and moved to Devuan, which really is what Ubuntu should have been.
Mint 21 (Cinnamon) for me -- Snap disabled by default and pledged to stay that way.
Portions of the heat shield "wore away differently than NASA engineers predicted, cracking and breaking off the spacecraft in fragments that created a trail of debris rather than melting away as designed,"
