Just saw the scatter plot and line and my mind immediately screamed "bullshit" without knowing what this was about at all. Only then I read the text.

There's an argument to be made that "no binario" is the more correct. Latin has a neutral grammatical gender ("bīnārium") that has been mostly assimilated into the masculine gender in Spanish.

I've heard this trope before but I'm skeptic. I'm not a C expert but I can't believe memory bugs in that language are so much more benign than in C++.

Nothing wrong with that... Most people don't need to reinvent the wheel, and choosing a filename extension meaningful to the particular use case is better then leaving it as .zip or .db or whatever.

Majel Barrett played both Nurse Chapel and Number One in the original series, but these two actresses in SNW look nothing alike.

I've been using nothing but Linux at home and work for 20 years and it's news to me that these words are not equal synonyms.
