You need to make the weekend a thing. Maybe I’m too European, but when I’m not on call, my workphone is off.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdays those are release day for me.

Or - just a thought - don’t deploy on fridays.

This is something that can easily get refactored, because the purpose of alia the variables is right there in the name. This is way better that spending three days to try to figure out what the purpose of var1 is.

It could be about sending a message.

A missing knob is easy to fix. Bolting a wrench to the housing holding the knob in place is very explicit. It screams “don’t touch”

New versions of java have a null coalescing operator?

I didn’t know that.

Edit: a short search didn’t return any answers, as far as I can see java doesn’t have this operator, the closest thing is the ternary if operator.

Yes, it’s very useful when applied correctly.

I’m always disappointed when I remember, that I can’t use such a feature, because I’m stuck using Java.

There’s a comment for you to explain the why.

Rule of thumb: code explains the how and what, comments explain the why.

Or try having numbers or strings that look like they could be dates.

That would be unfortunate!

Try using Excel in another language than English. You have to hope someone, that speaks your language had exactly the same problem as you, because all the formulas get translated and Excel doesn’t recognize the English version when your language isn’t set to English.

The best wargame is the one that makes you hate war.

I’m always a bit surprised when I hear it read references to Hogan’s heroes online, because Klink is more a bad guy in them. I grew up with the German version and don’t get me wrong, it has hatable characters like Hochstaetter, but Klink is mostly a loveable idiot who tries to be more or less good to the pows. Manipulated by Hogan, yes, but does try to be good to them.

To be fair, I don’t think so, there will probably years that still be relatively cold or even colder than previously. Climate change is about extremes getting more extreme.

Or using < instead of <= or >

As long as it’s updated when the code changes

The monoblock is a prototype water-cooling block, like in just the thing that actually makes contact with the thing you want to cool, not the piping, not the pump, not the reservoir, just the block. What makes this block a monoblock is that it covers the entirety of the gpu, so not just the actual graphics processors, but memory and power delivery, too.

Or so it appears to me.

Blanket are optional, just remember step 1.

How to masturbate on a plane (being next to a minor is optional)

Step 1: don’t.

You’re welcome.

Probably the same reason it takes so long to come up with third party flash interpreters.

I mean flash isn’t exactly new, but for the longest time there was only Adobe flash.

At least you do get a response.
