It's easy enough to use a single "and" in a sentence, but "and and" and "and and and" and so on are more difficult
Clearly you've never taught intro boolean logic. Try saying "a Nand and an And" in a way that your students can understand you.

But why it even happened? Typically you run Flume over docjoins in your project’s quota. If you screw up, all that should happen is that your Flume job is out of quota.
This was in the Borg days, pre-Flume. As I remember, we had at least one Borg cluster to ourselves for indexing. Our quota was a cluster. We cared because indexing latency is important. Engineers get paged and woken up in the middle of the night when indexing latency gets high. Doubling CPU usage meant doubling indexing latency. The pre-Percolator indexing system ran roughly 1,000 threads per box on roughly 1,000 War…
> Also, the indexing system's quota is huge.
Well, it might no longer be the case, but for a number of years the indexing cluster was the largest in the entire fleet, especially when it came to memory. I don't know if you were around in the days of yl-i (I think), but it was edifying to rank it against the Top500...

It helped me empathize with young engineers dealing with their first high responsibility bug. About 4 years ago, I was managing a guy right out of school who pushed a minor bug that broke real-time risk calculations for a major multinational financial institution in the middle of the European trading day, prior to the NYC open, and people were yelling over email that they were trading blind. Someone had committed an…
It's your fault, you were the manager, the yelling should not even have leaked to the developer, it should have stopped with you. Edit: if you are managing someone who is new in a job, it's your job to make sure they don't push bugs to break important stuff in the first place.

#395Took me right back one of many detentions I served at school, when Mr B Swales set us the challenge of finding a grammatically correct English sentence with five ands in a row. The answer was as follows: The landlord of the "Dog and Partridge" pub commissioned a signwriter to letter a new board outside. On looking at the work, the landlord declared that he liked the colour but would prefer more spacing between Dog an…
It seems like cheating to omit the double quotes around the literal instances of “and” while still including them around “Dog and Partridge.”

Here's 21 in a row, by Martin Gardner: Wouldn’t the sentence ‘I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign’ have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?
Can't one just keep recursing further? Only with very careful intonation and appropriate pauses after a comma can someone read Gardner's above sentence aloud such that a listener can fully grok the connection between "and" and "and,", and "and," and "and", and "and" and "and", and "and" and "and", and "and" and "And,", and "And," and "and", and "and" and "And", and "And" and "and", and "and" and "and,", and "and," an…

I don’t think laziness (in this comment or the ones about the bash-like C macros) is the right word. I guess there is some pressure/tiredness/newness/taste/external factors driving the choices, test count, and style guide aberrations.
Probably typing on a non english keyboard. When I learned C a long time ago, I read somewhere 'isnt it nice that one doesnt need a lot of keystrokes like for begin and end', and I thought pls give me begin and end instead of this unpleasent slow hand movement.

try /s at the end of "offending" sentence, most people will look at it more kindly.

Autistic people exist, and read things on the internet. Attempts to help them are neither "idiotic" nor "illiterate".
