Heck yeah, my wife didn’t play video games before she met me. Now she’s obsessed with Assassins Creed, and Stardew Valley. Like others have said, there’s something for everyone out there. You just gotta try stuff and see what you like.

Did the person writing this have a stroke?

I don’t use bing, I use duckduckgo. If they start prioritizing AI results, I’ll change search engines again.

I know it’s merch. Why would you think they’d stop there?

I’m not playing palworld if it requires a PSN account.

Yeah, I’ve said that before. I don’t think they have enough regression tests, and unit tests.

Only one of those things is completely optional.

Why are programmers so arrogant? They do have unit tests, and a dedicated test team. Refactoring can and does introduce bugs. It’s a fact.

I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily safe, ERs are full of people who almost blew off their hand or other appendages around 4th of July.

Sure, refactoring is sometimes necessary. But refactoring also introduces new bugs often. Our code base is constantly being refactoring, and it’s not more reliable, stuff is constantly breaking.

Sure, but refactoring things constantly leads to bugs too. Once it works you should stop rewriting code. The SW team at my job didn’t get the memo.

I just don’t get it. It terrifies people’s pets, and the wildlife outside, it’s incredibly noisy (meaning you can’t get away from it if you live near someone doing it), and it produces tons of waste and pollution. Can’t we just have a big BBQ like we do the rest of the year when we celebrate stuff?

Everyone can participate in the fireworks, not just stand there and watch.

Don’t we just stand there when we watch fireworks too 🤣

That’s fair, I just think there are ways to get that besides blowing things up once a year, especially given that fireworks produce a lot of unnecessary waste and pollution in the environment.

It’s a huge environmental hazard too.

humans have a deep need to celebrate and to come together in large groups and have shared experiences

Isn’t that what parades are for?

personally I feel they remind me that there are bigger things out there than the daily grind of existence

There are other ways to get that. The universe is huge, look up on a quiet night with little light pollution.

Yeah, sorry, totally misread your comment.

I always try to review the code anyway. There’s no guarantee that what they wrote is doing what you want it to do. Sometimes I find the person was told to do something and didn’t realize it actually needs to do Y and not just X, or visa versa.

I did not, and I don’t understand why you would attack a place where vulnerable people go for help.

No you don’t, stop telling lies.
