Thanks for the heads up, I thought it was just me and gave up.

I like to think that Balatro is so popular it crashed the payment system, heh.

Yet somehow the top comment is basically saying what I’m saying. Interesting.

I mean, that’s fair. I get it, I just don’t really find it very funny.

Literally all of these languages are rooted in English.

C: printf()

C++: cout

JavaScript: document.write() or window.print()

Java: system.out.println()

Python: print()

Rust: print()

Exactly zero of those reference a language other than English. I’m not even a linguist and this is just silly. It’s literally part of why English is becoming the dominant world language, because if you learn computer programming you basically have to learn English.

1. The media is talking about this announcement more than the embezzlement, so he has used his announcement successfully.

2. Parkinson’s has a dementia element that he is trying to use as an excuse for why his “judgment lapsed.” This is literally on its face bullshit simply because he can sit there and talk about it. If the dementia was that advanced, he would not be this coherent. He should have been torn to shreds in this hearing over exactly this.

3. The worst people literally have zero scruples, so they feel no remorse hiding behind something like Parksinson’s to justify and excuse their shitty behavior as somehow justified or not worth prosecuting. Always excuses, never able to take responsibility for anything at all ever. Trump really is their Id realized.

Devs:

I have altered the code. Pray I do not alter it any further.

Considering Ayn Rand’s novels as literature was a mistake.

It was right there!

A union is only as good as its members.

Got a union with a lot of real selfish shitheads? You’re gonna have a shitty union.

It was an attempt at a joke, but thanks for the explainer.

Yet somehow still so poor they have to turn to stealing and eating cats.

It’s like a superposition of a superposition.

Ah, yes, my favorite activity at parties, looking at some weirdos trash collection.

It’s called a joke. We’re in a sub called “programmer humor.” You must be fun at parties.

But the Lord came down to see the city OS and the tower app the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking programming the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city OS. That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

I don’t know, that mindset is so foreign to me. If someone was overestimating how long it would take because they were simply trying to be conservative and not run into unexpected cost overruns, I would commend them. I’ve always considered it more prudent to expect something to take longer so you know the kind of budget you need up front instead of lying to yourself about it. It costs a lot more (in terms of lost time and productivity) to have to swing a new budget mid-project because it turns out you’ve burned through the planned budget and you’re only 2/3 the way done with the project.

So, screw your manager, you’re doing the right thing, in my eyes. I guess that’s why I’m not in charge of anything.
