#it was datestamped to 2022

[sirius-bizdness]

Newsletter came out, and I realized I haven't checked any of the music that's come out since my first post! Time to fix that.

There are no datestamps in the Sept 2022 update's music metadata. The website can load either .MP3 or .OGG versions of the music tracks; I checked both, and can confirm these are all clean.

The Spamton Sweepstakes has a pinkin' lot of music (and other sound assets). Of the tracks I already had downloaded, three were dated 2022: the Big Shot MIDI (midi-bigshot_byShinkoNetCavy.mp3), Noelle's uncorrupted country MIDI (midi-holiday-country.mp3*), and the extended KEYGEN mix (keygen_credits.mp3). *not to be confused with midi-holiday_country.mp3, which is the corrupted mix The rest are undated. I haven't checked both formats on most of these, but I did on KEYGEN, and the datestamp is on both. I hope that represents a trend, but it's past my bedtime, so I'm not willing to confirm tonight.

The website Dogcheck themes (results and baci_perugina) do not have datestamps.

The newsletter tracks, for a change, BOTH have datestamp metadata! Both dogbonk_short.mp3 and sneaking.mp3 are dated 2023. ...I guess that's not surprising. (They also have BPM information. dogbonk is 130, sneaking is 175. That's exactly backwards of my intuition.... Tempo is weird sometimes.)

As it turns out, a few of Deltarune’s music files have year-of-release datestamps in their metadata:

Checker Dance (checkers.ogg) and Chaos King (kingboss.ogg) are both stamped 2016 (one year after Undertale, two years before ch1′s release). This makes sense--Toby’s stated he likes to finish scenes’ music before he starts programming, so a date early into ch1′s development cycle makes sense.

Giga Size (giant_queen_appears.ogg) and Berdly (berdly_theme.ogg) are stamped 2019 (one year after ch1, two years before ch2′s release). I would say there’s a pattern emerging here, except that...

Lost Girl (noelle_normal.ogg) and Ferris Wheel (noelle_ferriswheel.ogg) are stamped 2018 (same year as ch1). My understanding of Noelle has always been “maximum story importance,” so I’m not surprised he would work on Noelle’s cutscene music so early into development.

alarm_titlescreen.ogg (new Dogcheck) is stamped 2017 (before ch1). A moment as unimportant as this, I’d assume, Toby didn’t want to spend effort making music for, and just pulled out a random backlog song. I mean, that's what he did with April 2012 :)

Granted, this is all assuming these datestamps are accurate. Not sure why they wouldn't be, but.

FYI, I’m one of those 45 notes.

Oh Tumblr. One day, your owners will learn how to program you.

The Owl House s3 theory

I was thinking about the ending of season 2, wondering how they were gonna get back to the Demon Realm with King’s blood or anything.

But then I realised...

Luz carved the palisman wood into an egg, because “I got to decide what my future looked like when I chose to be a witch, and I want them to have that option too. Until then, I'm willing to wait.”

However, when Luz was starting her palisman carving lesson, King asked “Are you going to carve me?”

I believe that because King put the idea into her mind as she was carving the palisman, at the beginning of season 3, possibly after a small timeskip, the egg will hatch into... a small titan, modelled after King.

King did hatch from an egg after all.

It won’t have anywhere near the level of power that King will grow to have, or even has now.

But the most important ability it will have will be the ability to open a portal between the realms.

Luz simply has to tap the palisman staff against any door, open it and step into the other realm.

This is the only way that I can see the kids being able to return to the Demon Realm in season 3.

Crazy idea I’m unable to do anything with...

A business rating app, for employees.

A business has their name and address submitted with reviews from current and past employees.

Rate the business based on the wages, how you were treated whilst working there, the general work environment, ect. Also, a field to share personal horror stories of any petty firing practices or toxic work environments. And maybe a scale to display usual starting wage, hours you get paid for versus hours they expect you to work. Ratings are datestamped so you can compare older ratings to newer ones and see if they’ve gotten their shit together. And also to make sure you’re going with the most recent ratings. Maybe a filter to select only those from a certain time period so you can look at only those submitted within the past month, or whatever? With the score adjusted for that time period only.

Basically, a way for jobseekers to see if a particular place is good to work at, or if it should be avoided at all costs. Written by people who currently work there or have worked there.

A easy system to report any managers/bosses who learn the app exists and create an account to try and raise their score by giving 5 stars on everything. So if they get flagged 3 times by different users as a manager trying to protect the bottom line, their rating will be deleted so it won’t affect the true score, and their account deleted too. A similar thing for users who recognise that someone is trolling, leaving poor reviews to screw with people. 3 reports, deleted and removed.

Users have to check a box to say if they’re a current employee of the place or a past one. Past can maybe have a field to say how long ago they worked there, so people can see if it’s an older complaint compared to a possibly better later rating from later employees. They can also chose to say if they were fired or they quit.

Businesses will have to either fix the problems, or shut down because they can’t hire enough people to stay afloat. Corporate can see why a particular store isn’t doing well and send someone to fix the problem. Getting rid of a toxic manager, improving conditions, ect...

Someone trying to find a job and sees a place is hiring can check the app to see if it’s worth applying there, or if it’s actually a gate to the hell dimensions to be avoided.

Just, basically, a way for people to know how shitty a place is before they apply for a job, and to also compare experiences at different places.

Maybe called JobRate? JobScore? RateMyWork? RateThisPlace? I dunno, I’m bad at naming stuff... And I dunno if any of those names are already used for anything else. *shrug*

Uhh... Okay, I guess...

Replaying Breath of the Wild, trying to beat my personal best time for a hundo.

I was going through Woodland collecting Koroks and heading towards the Tyhphlo Ruins, and I stopped to look at my bows and pick out a good one for the next challenge when I noticed something... weird.

All of my bows, including ones that I already had, had all become triple-shot ones.

I have no idea when or why this has happened. I only had two triple shots before, and now they all are. I think one I picked up after noticing this was also randomly a triple-shot.

They all look like regular single-shot bows, but looking at them with the cursor shows that they have the x3.

I can’t find anything about this online, as most are about how to clone existing multi-shot bows. Nothing about regular single shots suddenly becoming triple-shots...

I’m not complaining of course, this is awesome. But very confusing, cause I wasn’t doing anything kind of known glitch AFAIK, and this has just... happened. *shrug*

Has anybody else experienced this?

Will post video of my bow stash in a few days, once I'm done with the hundo, so you can have a look.

Got a new stylus and made something quickly lol.

Image description start.

Two Tweets by Youself Munayyer @ YousefMunayyer [verified] that say: They attacked a funeral. The highest profile Palestinian funeral in years and for a slain journalist everyone loved and they did it on a Friday two days before Palestinians commemorate Nakba Day. The entire world was watching this moment and still. Just imagine what they do to Palestinians when the cameras are not there. Description end. Datestamp: 13 May 2022. Source: Twitter

There's an international standard called ISO 8601 that specifies exactly one way to write dates:

YYYY-MM-DD

(The hyphen is optional.)

No, the standard does not allow abbreviation of the year. Years with less than four digits must also be prepended with "0" until they're four digits long. Single digit days or months MUST be prepended with "0".

So the third day of May in 2021 is always written as 2021-05-03.

And the fortieth day in the 20th year AD?

0020-02-09 or 0020-040

(The latter is specified by the standard as well, if the need is not to write dates but to just signify a certain cardinal day in the year -- the day number must be written in three digits.)

The first benefit is that when sorting datestamps written in ISO 8601, it will be a quick string sort: Earlier years will always be ordered before later years, earlier month-day in the same year will always be ordered before later month-day.

String sort will totally mess up the ordering of 11/13/2011 and 12/14/2010. You have to carve those datestamps first to properly order the dates.

(Writing month names as three-letter codes will also mess up the ordering, because FEB will appear before JAN while APR & AUG will appear before all other months, with DEC inserting itself between AUG and FEB.)

No problems with string-sorting 2011-11-13 and 2010-12-14. After 3 characters, the sorting algorithm already correctly knows which datestamp is earlier.

The second benefit is that there's no easy way anyone can tamper with the date.

3/MAY/2021 can be tampered into 23/MAY/2021 easily.

1/17/2022 can be tampered into 11/17/2022 easily.

2025-06-02 ... No one can easily modify that by simple adding of one or two digits. A tamperer must overwrite the digits and doing so is easier to detect than simple addition.

In summary:

Use ISO 8601.

I found this on Facebook and it's actually super important:
