Did I get it right?

Code should always by itself document the “how” of the code, otherwise the code most likely isn’t good enough. Something the code can never do is explain the “why” of the code, something that a lot of programmers skip. If you ever find yourself explaining the “how” in the comments, maybe run through the code once more and see if something can be simplified or variables can get more descriptive names.

For me, that’s what was originally meant with self-documenting code. A shame lazy programmers hijacked the term in order to avoid writing any documentation.

What’s the difference?

The green cross is the universal symbol for pharmacies in Southern Europe. Admittedly I haven’t checked if any of them do have cannabis, but I’d recommend not asking pharmacists whether they got it. As others mentioned, the red cross wouldn’t be used as that would be a Geneva conventions violation.

Sounds like how some of our customers are sending bug reports. At least replace the damn magenta ink, Bob!

Software is copyrighted but nothing stops you from coding your own identical version. You just can’t re-use any code from the original.

I’ve got an app that I’m required to use in order to see my payslips. It has its own rotation logic that completely ignores the system setting…

I never thought I’d say this, but I feel sorry for Adolf Hitler.

Dammit, it’s basically dead. Been looking for such a community ever since the exodus.

Here it is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/169002413/grip-an-intense-futuristic-combat-racer

I vaguely remember hearing something about them wanting to try and make it without the funding but as with many failed kickstarters I just forgot about it. Great to see that it happened, I’m gonna have a good old-fashioned nostalgia trip next weekend.

Wait what!? I remember joining the Kickstarter for GRIP but it didn’t reach its target. I’ve completely forgot about the game since then.

Cult problems require cult solutions

You forgot multi-monitor support. The extension broke for me a couple of years back and the author became AWOL. My workaround is to open the clock app on my secondary monitor when gaming in order to track time now that I can’t see the clock in the taskbar.

What is this life you keep talking about?

I know that World War I started on a Tuesday so that’s 50% of all world wars right there.

Liquid “cheese”

I was about two make a whole lecture about percentage points but it just so happens it actually is ~6% less in this case.

Cause none of my choices of ISP supports it…

Jesus, we’ve had horrible heat waves of 28°C… Where do you live, near equator?

My superpower is that I can go on a week long vacation without my phone and not miss a call.
