You know that thing you do, where you write some code and then realize you need a main function to execute it? And then you write your main function, but it’s not really your main function, it’s a bunch of half commented test code to make sure that the important code works?

Do that in a unit test, and when you’re done testing that particular piece, add some assertions and move on to the next piece of functionality. Boom, test driven development.

Rubber band in the middle is trying to contract, pulling the top of the table up, and the chains keep it level?

I knew this one, but way too many times, I don’t. People like you are awesome, and I appreciate the service.

Not how I wanted to see Trump at The Hague, honestly.

Trump as Oedipus, immigrants as his father, and the abstract concept of freedom as his mother.

Immigrants and freedom made Trump possible, and managed to avoid him for a bit. Then he comes back, kills immigrants and fucks freedom, at which point, lady liberty kills herself.

Where is Ben Garrison when you need him.

Holy shit, me too. Yeah, I probably should have put and asterisk next to that.

I have very rarely had a bad outcome from speaking honestly and straightforwardly to people that I care about.

The diagnostic criteria and the culture that determines that criteria are both subject to change. lots of things that people consider perfectly normal now would be classified as a disease or disorder in the past.

We have reached the limits of what I know on the subject. So, no idea. If forced to make an uneducated guess, I’d say it was probably some combination of environmental factors, a preexisting culture that fit particularly well with horses, and natural variation in adoption of new tech among different groups of people.

I know. I’ve read them all. I just thought “potentially” was slightly understating the probability of a NSFW Oglaf comic, and it made me chuckle.

North America didn’t originally have horses. When they were brought in, the Apache, more than any other indigenous group, structured their entire way of life around them. At least, that’s what I learned from Western movies.

“potentially” lol

Doesn’t matter if you did do it the windows way, honestly. Anything of any scale programmed in .NET has runtime reflection scattered everywhere, and that shit adds up.

What is “post-atheism”?

I’m not catholic, but I’m pretty sure they would object to extracting the popes pelvis.

Dude. No. Any day you graduate is a good day. It took me 10 years. Don’t stop.

This was a great read. I vaguely knew about some of it, but I’ve never done a deep dive into polish game dev history. Thanks man.

For a minute, I had no idea why you were posting a picture of Sean Connery. Then I went back and read that in his voice, and it all made sense.

It’s “charlatans”, but hard agree.

You think I have the energy to run on all fours?
