About half of GLaDOS’s scenes in either Portal game.

I said “probably”. I’m not out here blacklisting a useful tool. That would be ridiculous. If you found a situation where it was appropriate, great, more power to you. Those cases definitely exist.

I will fight for your right to party.

Yeah, but to do that you’d need an instantiated instance of the Pie class, which would answer in the context of the generic type parameter, not the whole Pie class.

This is too funny. Everyone here, me included, is profoundly overthinking this, lol.

Given the callout as a mixin, you’re probably right. Other languages have them, but I’ve only heard something described in practice as a mixin working in Angular and Typescript. (Neither of which are my forte, so if I’m wrong, I’m wrong.)

I’m not shy about using typeof for logging when it’s appropriate. Anything braver than that and you’re probably getting into reflection, which also means you’re probably not writing the code the way you should.

It can’t be actual C#, but it does look like it.

If you declare a class Pie<T>{} then attempt to call typeof(Pie<T>) or typeof(T) it won’t even build because you failed to specify what type T is. typeof(Pie<object>) would work but that just returns “Pie1[System.Object]”.

The superintendent of my high school said that. I saw the job title change on the staff roster. Sorry I didn’t bring a strawman to the argument you could knock over.

The one that I never could accept was “sanitation engineer” for a janitor. Mostly because the rebranding implies you should be ashamed of the job.

Fuck, the title got my hopes up.

It’s money. What would metric money be? Centicrumpets? Milliminces?

Nah, can’t make myself do it

I read “stitching”.

I have a 720p tv with an aerial antenna and a dvd player connected that can also read videos off a USB hard drive. That is all I need, or even want. There is no “incredible value” for me beyond this point. Maybe you like 4k. I don’t care about it. In fact I think it looks gross, worse than even my pitiful 720p, until you figure out how to turn off all the motion smoothing. Maybe you like smart apps. I hate them. Any additional features, for me, are either a waste of money or something I’m actively trying to avoid.

Created in 48 hours by reusing assets from the RealDoll website? Look at that thing.

Yes. And nothing is as short-sighted as greed.

Every company I’ve been at follows this cycle: offshore to Cognizant for pennies, C-suite gets a bonus for saving money. In about two years, fire Cognizant because they suck and your code is a disaster, onshore, get a bonus for solving a huge problem. In about two years, offshore to Cognizant and get a bonus for saving money. Repeat forever.

This will follow the same rhythm but with different actors: the cheap labor is always there, and sometimes senior devs come in to replace the chatbots because the bots are failing in ways offshore can’t make up for: either fundamental design problems that shouldn’t have been used as a roadmap, or incompetently generated code that offshore assumes is correct because it compiles. This will all get built up and built around until it’s both a broken design AND deeply embedded in your stack. The new role of a senior dev will be contract work slicing these Gordian knots.

Ah, there’s the dream they’re chasing. Chatbots write the code for free, and junior devs play janitor to the robots and fix it up. No more expensive senior devs! The savings can be used as an executive bonus.

I’m currently using Tilix, although I haven’t found any terminal emulator I’m just wholly in love with yet.

Portal and Portal 2.
