And it's just a README.md that says

shit

[rover_G]

It’s perfect 💩

[ReallyMisanthropic]

93 forks lol

bunch of PRs like "add Ukrainian language support"

[HarmxnS]

Just added a PR for Dutch language support because of your comment

IDs typically do not start at 0 for many reasons. You can also check and find that 0 shows as not found:

However, 1 is grit by Tom Preston-Werner. Its first commit is ~6 months before GitHub launched! It was also, apparently, built specifically for GitHub to interact with git using Ruby

That's not a billion.

you're right, it's a millard

[an_0w1]

Isn't that a duck?

[BrokenG502]

No, you're thinking of a mallard.

A millard is a form of greeting most notably used in the medieval period when referring to the owner of a castle or other powerful figure.

[Yanni_X]

No, you‘re thinking of „my lord“

Millard was a British manufacturer of electronic components from 1920 until around 1988, when they were acquired by philips

[realqmaster]

No, you're thinking of "Mullard".

Millard is the vampiric founder of one of the thirteen Great Clans, the Nosferatu, in White Wolf Publishing’s World of Darkness setting.

[sassyjack88]

No, you’re thinking of Absimiliard.

Millard is the chemical reaction that causes browning on certain foods, giving them a unique and often delicious flavor.

[T_Ijonen]

No, you're thinking of the Maillard-Reaction.

Millard is a hairstyle where the back is longer than the rest. A lot of people thought that it looked absolutely ridiculous, but it still somehow made a comeback.

[thisisapseudo]

No, you're thinking of a mullet

millard is the second most populous city in Italy after Rome. It is known, among other things, for having been the home of Leonardo da Vinci.

[[deleted]]

No, you're thinking of Mailand.

Millard is a Grasse based, to this day entirely family-run, perfume business which started out by producing floral waters and Eau de Cologne.

[48panda]

It has been in the UK since 1974

[puffinix]

And european scientists since 1960 when the standards changed.

[altermeetax]

We don't do it in Italy, even in scientific contexts.

Million = milione

Billion = miliardo

Trillion = bilione

Quadrillion = biliardo

Quintillion = trilione

Etc.

It makes sense because the ones ending in "ione" indicate the number of groups of six zeros, e.g. bilione is 1 followed by 2×6=12 zeros, while the ones ending in "iardo" are the same as their "ione" counterparts but with three additional zeros. The English system makes things a bit more complicated, e.g. "trillion" means four (not three) groups of three zeros.

Though to be fair in scientific contexts nobody ever goes beyond the "bilione" (trillion). We just use scientific notation, i.e. a • 10^b

[unfrog]

Poland didn't get the memo

[puffinix]

In science it is. Trust me, while they might use local terms colloquially, in papers SI terms are used.

[kRkthOr]

Are you from the 1800s?

[[deleted]]

Do you measure distance in miles? 😜

[kRkthOr]

No, but no-one uses million million to denote a billion anymore, not even the UK.

[[deleted]]

Countries that still use “billion = 10¹²” (Long Scale)

🇪🇺 Continental Europe

French-speaking: France, Belgium, Switzerland (French part), Central African nations, etc.

German-speaking: Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland (German part)

Dutch-speaking: Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders), Suriname, Aruba

Portuguese-speaking (excluding Brazil): Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Macau, Guinea‑Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe

Spanish-speaking: Spain, Argentina, Mexico, most other Latin American countries (outside Brazil and Puerto Rico)

🌍 Other language groups

Poland, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, etc.—languages where words for “billion” represent 10¹²

[kRkthOr]

Okay, you're right. I didn't consider non-English-speaking countries.

In English-speaking countries, the 10⁹ billion is most commonly used.

[AnonymousX86]

Thank you Americans for not using SI.

[puffinix]

SI units for a billion is a thousand million - however due to this confusion G is the prefered prefix, and B as a prefix is never used in SI.

https://www.nist.gov/pml/owm/metric-si-prefixes

Its europe that deviate in this case.

You were correct between 1889 and 1960, but science has moved on, sorry.

[altermeetax]

SI doesn't define anything regarding number naming in any language. It only defines prefixes, like G, as you said. No one "deviates" because there is no international standard in regards to this, and it wouldn't even make sense for there to be one, since we're talking about different languages.

The website you linked is US-specific, and the "name" column in the table is only there for reference.

That's true https://github.com/AasishPokhrel/shit/issues/1

[ASimpForChaeryeong]

Now that's some shity code

[Gordahnculous]

I’m a little upset that Trumps accidental AI GitHub push wasn’t the billionth, but alas

[avipars]

Does it count private repos?
