Phew. I can't be the only person who worried there was an issue with the QT toolkit. This is something less important.

Me, too. I expected it to be regarding the discontinuing of open source support for old QT “LTS” versions. Fits the title.

I thought it was going to be something about the Year 2038 problem, but specific to the Qt toolkit.

It's Qt :) - lol, me too though, but seeing QT I thought it was QuickTime TBH (... not really ...)

I though Quik Trip...

Naming things :)

"There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors."

Some choose short variable names that they can type fast (this might be correlated with vi programmers).

Others choose long variable names that are more descriptive (this might be correlated with emacs programers).

Personally I chose the latter, because copy-paste is easy, and ambiguity can be confusing.

But ambiguities are great fun for making puns and dadjokes.

u = qtπ

Yes... for a second I thought I would have to rewrite all the QT apps I made. This is the stuff of nightmares.

My first thought was that it was something about cardiology.

I'd argue it's more important, since the interest rate impacts future cash flow valuations, and therefore people's wealth.

We can say both are equally important and divide our worry by 50%
