@PPK

get it to translate ‘randomically’ into English

[OhHai]

I just did, and now I think it’s mad at me:

You know what you did.
Brian knows what you did.

Brian’s not angry, it’s just making the atom-thin verisimilitude of being very disappointed.

“nonce” is also used in cryptography (not cryptocurrency, but the actual branch of applied mathematics related to code-making and code-breaking). It’s a portmanteu of “number used once”. I heard it there first, and it took a few years before I was wondering why a very dry technical term was making online discussions blow up.

ETA: @PPK

Thanks, @NukeML

I feel for Brian! It sounds stressful being a German student while taking care of their black dog Bobby in Mexico.

[Akimbo_NOT]

Brian is a waste of ones and zeros.

Eff Brian and the programmers that birthed him.

[OhHai]

Agreed. I’ve been entertained by Brian’s complete lack of usefulness, but that’s no reason to keep it around. Sorry Brian.
