Someone should invent a way for computers to count. At the moment both GMail and GitHub have incorrect message counts in my inbox. Again.

This has happened many times. Given that computers make it possible for me to order toilet paper for delivery by 2pm and then send me hundreds of messages about toilet paper by 5pm, it seems odd to me that they can't count.

But hey, I guess it's hard to count how many things are in a list, especially when the list is empty.
