    I understand that etymologically, it makes perfect sense to pronounce daemon the same as demon because. It’s the same word. But I’ll never stop pronouncing it day- instead of dee-, as if it’s a Ferengi captain.

    Many years ago now I was told that we needed a way to turn a series of lights on and off for a custom bit of hardware.
