I don't know the specifics, but why would 5 bits be a problem on a 16bit machine? Shit, my mistake, I should have said 'If you have 5 bits to work with'. I will correct it.
If you have ~~32~~ 5 bits to work with you keep one bit to determine which half of the 30 seconds you are on. If that bit is a 0, you are counting 1-30 and if that bit is 1, then you are counting 31-60.
It is obviously written to invoke some sort of panic or dread.
Definitely wins the Clickbait Title of the Day Award. Come on BBC, you can do better.
Honestly that's a lot of windows users. I have to deal with it at work because we are 'a microsoft shop'. Ughh. I am in a relationship that I cannot get out of, sort of an arranged marriage. Retirement can't come soon enough.
And I read that as 'challenging circumcision.'
Will make all the files in the path owned by you. Be careful if you have more complex permissions on there they will be lost.
This is where ACL permissions would help. He could give his new id ACL permissions to the files and that wouldn't mess with the current permissions.
From the root/beginning subdir: sudo setfacl -R -m u:{replace with your new id}:rwx .

If Linux cannot help me do them then in what way is it a widely suitable mass operating system as proponents are constantly claiming instead of merely a hobby tool that can do a very limited range of things.
Not sure what you mean by this as I have used tons of linux machines to earn a living for the last 20 years or more. Just because you haven't delved into it doesn't mean it is just a hobby tool. No offense, but if that is your attitude towards this then it might be best to not switch. Things might not always be up to par with what you are used to, but I have seen some pretty cringy things go on in current mainstream windows. Try having an issue with onedrive and asking the team supporting it to help. First step is to reboot. If that doesn't work they uninstall then reinstall. If that doesn't work, well then I guess you are out of luck. When I asked them about anything in the log files, all I got was blanks stares. My point is, windows isn't some pristine environment with no flaws that we should all strive to reach, it has it's own issues.
For instance, your Notepad++ question. I know you don't want to use multiple tools to replace it, but I would venture to guess that the work I do daily, I would probably come up with solutions using vi, sed, and awk on the command line just as fast as you could using the gui. The thing is, I have been doing it for so long it's just second nature to me. Would I want to switch to Notepad++, no.
Maybe come up with some examples of what you do in Notepad++ and people can give you alternative solutions.
Well I am not him, so I can't tell you whether or not he actually "could" have figured it out. The options to figure it out did exist, but he chose not to use them giving it the appearance that he "couldn't". Are you this much fun at parties?
And they are doing the exact same thing with Edge that they were taken to court for over Windows Explorer. They have been and always will be a shit company.
Yeah, I have been trying to work out a table for just the seconds, and yeah, the 5 bits isn't enough. I wasn't thinking it through. Another bit would be needed to be able to capture the flip, and in that case the extra bit would just allow you to store the actual 0-59 value. That's what I get for speaking before I have worked it out in my head.
