What do you think shareholder meetings are for?

How do you know? Your “UK” set is liable to have some Irish accents in it. You need to break down regions more

No, it’s “grift”: https://www.wordnik.com/words/grift

Has anyone found a static analysis tool which understands C11 annex K (aka “safe C”) functions? I’ve found some tools like CLANG static analysis will raise errors for potentially incorrect calls to stdlib C functions, but doesn’t understand the replacements, which means some errors previously caught by analysis can only be caught at runtime.

For best filtering, place the filter so air is “sucked” through by the fan, rather than “pushed”.

(Quite possibly what you meant; I just found “in front of” easy to interpret in either way)

The concept I use is that the next stage is all about how you implement the previous one: the spec is how you implement the requirements, the design is how you implement the spec, the code is how you implement the design.

As okl said, it’s arguably terminology, and maybe high and low level requirements would work for you? I prefer to separate out the terms though, so that “requirements” are the thing that the engineering team can’t unilaterally change without upsetting the stakeholders. If I can change a spec item mid-delivery and it doesn’t matter to the customer, then it wasn’t a requirement. If I can’t change it, then it’s a requirement.

“Would Be Nice If”. Often used even when the “if” expansion doesn’t really make sense.

I disagree with the author.

Requirements are a precursor to the spec, and are a list of MUSTS, SHOULDS, and WBNIS which need to go into the feature/product.

The Spec is a description of how these requirements are/will be met.

An example for the ‘ls’ command:

Requirement: “the user MUST be able to include or exclude hidden files”

Spec: “by default hidden files are not shown. Including the optional argument ‘-a’ will cause hidden files to be listed alongside non-hidden files”

Note that legal tender != can buy milk with. Legal tender is only about payment of debt. A shop selling you something doesn’t have to accept any specific form of payment, as they don’t let you build up a tab which needs repaying.

Windows allows you to use a PIN for regular device logon - so you have a longer, more secure password for general use of the account, but an eg 8 digit numeric PIN _only_ for that device.

Uh, that list is most definitely tongue in cheek. The only one that really holds is “not bad”, which is an idiom that does translate into some other European languages (“pas mal”).
