This is silly.

This is me, from the beginning:

Show me anywhere on any tech site where someone sees "Riemann Hypothesis" and asks 'which Riemann' or "Kubernetes" and asks 'is that the greek name?'


Localised confusion, indeed: You're still labouring under the misapprehension that you're on a tech website here.


Hmm, yes misapprehension indeed. Ergo, visa vi, concordantly, find me anywhere on any site where someone sees "Riemann Hypothesis" and asks 'which Riemann' or "Kubernetes" and asks 'is that the greek name?'


> visa vi

Oh man, you're killing me here. Too deftly ironic for trolling, so I'll respond, for your entertainment!

I work in Fintech, and I use vim. You just blew out my context scope.

But I see this is more localized confusion. Your liberal arts curriculum also didn't extend to Latin or French apparently. Or you can blame autocorrect if you like!

vis-à-vis

Also, seriously ironically: I first learned that phrase from the same guy who made me read Strindberg in high school (he also taught French). There's something going on here.

Re: the rest: you're still missing the point, so I've nothing more to add.


This seems like insecure and irrelevant rambling to avoid my question.
