    And then he texts back ‘where are you?’ And then she texts back ‘the first table’ and he replies ‘umm I’m here too. But I don’t see you’ confused she asks him ’ table 0p?’ And then ‘01*?’ He says ‘no, 00.’ Releaved she says ‘lol I am at table 01’ he chuckles ‘I am at 00, I’ll go find you’

    Later they get married and have kids. But relationship collapses and it ruins both of them and they cannot find the heart to love anyone again. Their children grow up broken and struggle through life. Some get arrested end up in prison, all of them repeatedly fall into a series of toxic relationships for the rest of their lives.

    The real punch line is that in a cafe run by programmers, esoteric rules are in full force, but tables 0 and 1 are no where near each other.

      When you get off an airplane, do you say

      “Its great to be back on solid first floor of the earth.”

      ?

        If the walkway goes inside the building, then yes. And the walkway usually leads directly to the second floor, because the airplane door is 3 metres above the ground.

        Rulers measure cardinal quantities and not ordinal ones. There is no cardinal numbering scheme that starts at 1, all of them “start” at 0. For ordinal numbering schemes, the symbols are arbitrary anyway and you can start with whatever you want. It’s equally valid to start with 1, 0, -1, A, or “aardvark”. The only benefit to picking 1 as the start is to make it easier to count with your fingers while picking 0 lets you easily convert an ordinal quantity to a cardinal one.

        Your job is to move apples from one bin to another. You pick up the first one and set it in the other bin, and say “zero.”?

          There’s another way to think about it which I actually use. Look in the empty bin and say “zero”, then move an apple and say “one”.

        I’ve seen a lot of rulers that actually don’t have a mark at 0 and instead go right to the edge as 0. Typically they are worn down, being made of wood, so the accuracy of the first inch is dubious. To ensure the distance is correct, sliding the ruler down one unit is a good idea. So, my ruler starts at 0 but my measurements start at 1.

            It really depends on what you’re measuring. Good luck measuring the distance from a corner if you can’t get 0 to touch the end.

            Tape measures are almost always designed with this in mind, so you can hook the end over an edge, or butt it up against something and the measurement will be accurate both ways, since the metal end can slide in or out by just the right amount.

              OMG! I genuinely thought all the tape measures I have handled were a little broken.

        Not on this side of the pond. We typically don’t have a ground floor, that’s just the first floor.

        i wish the people making buildings around here knew that. some start at floor 3, others at 5. some start at 0. others at 2. every building has its own story. you need to understand the building before you can understand your position in it.

      Why? It seems exactly as valid to me, and more valid if you like positional numberings of your physical stuff.

      You just count the number of times you departed from an item in order, rather than the times you arrived.

      A much better idea than when I tried to organize my restaurant with hashtables.

      It was too much for the waitstaff, who had to reindex the floor plan every time they added or removed a plate.

      On the plus side, delivering the right food was always O(1).

    Don’t wanna state the obvious, but it looks like they still ended up staring at each other for the rest of the evening.

    They have shown that they still love each other, so hope they can work with their one irreconcilable difference.

      I love the idea that they’re at two adjacent tables, each one staring at the other wondering why they hate them.

        They hate each other because they are intolerant to one another’s index choices
