There’s an earlier bit that complements that nicely:

“it turns out that the core competency of smiling and promising people things that you can’t actually deliver is highly transferable.”

Texas has elected judges, and we’ll, I’ll let you decide how that’s gone.

Ok, well, if you ever come across a test framework named AuTest, you can blame me, because I’m stealing the shit out of that.

Up until now most people hated when shit randomly popped up while they were typing.

The Apple went and made the iPhone and now we have a whole generation that expects it.

Have you considered writing your own projects that you have to hide from your employers, and be careful with whom you discuss, so as to avoid the legal complications of the company owning your work?

so far

I’m gonna need a bell curve hooded figure meme template of this comment, this is comedy gold.

Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so.

absolutely.

(I agree completely with your sentiment, but Hitler’s rise to power was helped greatly by reparations placed on Germany after WW1, Nazi propaganda loved to remind people about it)

I would say it’s pretty accurate across the grid, but I’d swap HDD and ram. HDD is chaotic neutral, because it can turn into a maraca at any moment.

I’m interested in examples. The West loved Gorbachev, is that why he was deposed? Were all the satellite countries that all split off during the collapse of the USSR being manipulated by the West to do so? I agree that Putin is essentially a backlash reaction by the Russian powers that be, and they’ve been pretty open about getting the band back together, but why. I see them looking back to the glory days and wanting them back, but for a while there Russia was looking pretty good on the global stage. They had oil money, business, influence but it wasn’t enough. That’s the part I don’t get: what is enough for Russia, and is it cultural, historical, foreign influence, or something else that drives them. They seem to love shooting themselves in the foot and I don’t understand why.

I am humbled by your chess of many D’s.

You don’t even need to support anything older than the last windows hot fix with requirements like that.

I don’t like it, but I like it more than the old way of holding the button down to get to the menu. I do hate that the “see all” menu doesn’t just expand the current menu, it takes you to the old menu. There’s definitely hints of windows95 creeping into Android.

The only thing esoteric about python is the bolted-on typing and anything behind a double underscore.

So yeah, it’s there, but in front of the curtain it’s practically pseudo code.

It’s a shitty question. It’s implied by the fact that “24” is wrong that the answer is “6”, the length of the string “Monday”.

In some languages dot access on objects could give you the properties of the object type (things pertaining to a “day” object) but this would still be ambiguous since a day’s length can be measured in many different ways.

In others, it would require you to call length as a function (.length()) or not be available at all, or require you to pass the object into another function [ length_in_seconds(day_x)]
