Opinions tend to have a domino effect and if one person has a negative opinion, shares it with someone and that person blindly approaches with a negative attitude, you have basically determined the outcome, a priori. And maybe you're the one that can communicate productively and send someone dow the right path.
Not to say that guy isn't difficult, but not even trying with a normal approach, whatever that may mean, has a tendency to fail.

@Gaveuxifort Would likely segfault or loop forever. Conspiracy theorists should be a part of conspiracy to spread disinformation, not conspiracy theory. Otherwise you have a bunch of circular theories which exist only in theory what would make any implementation very difficult.

@NoMad drill a hole in the ceiling, put some form of strap-on on phone, let it hang. Problem solved.

@netikras only if fixed in the last ≈14 months.
But wouldn't put my hopes up.

@eptsousa And that's perfectly fine. Depart on a friendly basis doing your job and introducing new people to the project. If they do not see that as enough it's their problem of an intellectual sort.
Anything else or more could be up for negotiation but that's between you and your current employers wallet.

That's bullshit. It is your absolute right to find a new job. There should be a resignation time in the contract which covers their ass so people can't decide to not show up at work and still get paid without consequences.
Other than that time period noone has any obligation to announce their resignation outside that time frame.

@bittersweet That is quite an adventure. Not sure about blindfolded but adventure nonetheless.
Yes, untouched nature in the mountains, couple of normal, whatever that means, people, clear sky, peace, silence and somewhat distorted but deeper perspective...
Now I'm feeling nostalgic.

I do wish you a clear sky and a peaceful day on climbing trip.

@PonySlaystation Well, there's abuse and there's use.
But smart choice.

@PonySlaystation Going out to hunt for food is kids play compared to going to the store to buy it while on acid. Watching the faces and behaviour of people with elevated awareness and trying not to burst into laughter to their crippled and empty faces...
I'd like to see you try.

Normally nostalgia about good old days, no matter what the code looks like. If it weren't for that you'd be writing such code now or doing something else and boring.
Cherish your history.

My brain went havoc. Must be work today.
I'm out.

@lmgtfy hello @lmgtfy goodbye

Open for interpreting but smirking is often a subtle expression of self-pride (I know something you don't, etc.) It's likely he sees him self as Nostradamus, kind of predicting virus outbreak a few years ago.

@C0D4 the most important line, other parts are described as comment and actually make sense so I didn't paste them. The first part that says empty string or 0 is valid date make absolutely no sense.
Not sure what exactly you meant...

Nope. It checks if value passed matches certain, some pointless, criteria. Nowhere in the chain has such defaults. Not that I've seen, at least. It just makes no sense. And the guy who wrote it no longer works there, of course. It's some 10 years old code

The question of the decade. No one knows. I don't. You don't. The guy who wrote it certainly doesn't know.

Powershell could compete but it's php.

Em, b, u, i, even though they control style, still have a semantic meaning. They all emphasize text in some way. If only visual aspect is important use CSS. If you have something to point out differently in meaning use html.

Mostly rectangular design has an impression of seriousness, professionalism, reliability...
MS primary target audience are business users. Home user pirate their sw more often than not.
Lookup e.g. bouba-kiki effect.

@blubberfish true. But not everyone is eligible for student lic. There are other options.

@blubberfish I have no clue what you meant.
200 can be too much for some. School kids, students, hobbyist... If you are not developing professionally and getting paid I can easily understand why people are reluctant to pay for it.

It depends what you're doing and what you need. Netbeans is good and usable. Eclipse can be a pain in the ass but usable.
As for jetbrains - if you can get a student licence that's great. They have intellij idea community you could extend with plugins so it might work for you. There are EAP builds that expire after a month forcing you to install new versions but are not limited in functionality so clion might work for you. It's free in the sense they use tracking to gather data about usage, exceptions, crashes... which are sent to them. If that can work for you...
Whatever you choose don't fall into ide/editor hopping rabbit hole. Decide on the most important features, pick a few options and see how they work for you and how well you can use them in the course of several days per option. You'll never find absolutely perfect tool, they all have their nuances.

I like it how Google eliminates competition.

Different "designs" (stories, whatever) could lead to more games, more games could lead to greater profit?
Create a game with unified experience. Other with different story and experience. Sum their potential as scattered in one game as well as single-story, multi-level/multi-room games.
(On paper, not that you should make complete games)

@Godisalie where could I find more information about this processes and tools? You have a load balancer that is configured somehow to know when and where to route about 10% of traffic, smth like that? What do you use for config and monitoring?
A pointer to some article or a term that groups these concepts would be perfect.
I like this idea, sounds damn good.

That sounds like a larger company as well as project (aka. a pile of legacy)
It seems that quite a lot of large companies have that mentality among people, everything is done in a disposable utility style but manages to stay in production for decades and rarely anyone cares for improvement and optimization unless it prevents usability.
What helps me are side projects (personal or otherwise). Helps to learn new things, stay focused and in the loop while allowing freedom to do however the fuck I want it.
