I actually think thats a pretty building, while finding the other buildings mentioned in this thread boring to ugly. Just to put in my two cents. At least this one has a prettier color.

Well im glad you got tickets at least, thats almost a miracle in itself at this point

I was in a queue two days ago for tickets to a show. Of course, I got kicked out of the queue twice, and then lost my chance to get a ticket at all. When I wrote their support about it, they said they hadn't anticipated this amount of traffic and it had crashed their servers.

On a pre-sale that you had to sign up for.

You know, so they will know how many people they can expect.

Something that Ticketmaster routinely does, giving them exclusive access to the numbers, telling them exactly how much traffic they can expect.

A slightly more cynical person might say that maybe, just maybe, the only goal Ticketmaster has is to spend the bare minimum to keep their website afloat, so they can pocket the rest. They don't give a fuck about anyone or anything except their own profits. If this criminal organization would go down in flames tomorrow, I would buy pizza for everyone on my floor to celebrate.

Honestly, I'm just surprised that they're still allowed to exist in Europe.

I love it when serious companies make it a text field, and i get my bills in a letter adressed, in all sincerity, to: Intergalactic Lord Emperor GoosLife

Your username is a god damn lie, please fix it

Literally

Oh yeah, true. I think I glossed over some context there. Of course you're right that choosing to dye your hair a certain color means you chose that hair color lol

I mean, true. But I don't think it's really comparable. People can still dye their hair red and go to the theater without being accused of cosplaying mass murderers. I would sooner think he is emulating Gerard Way or, idk, Drew Gooden.

Well maybe he likes the band Water Parks. You can't just ban a hair color just because someone else with that hair color decided to do some bad shit.

Without looking up the lyrics, i cannot tell if you're making this up or these are the actual ones.

Its even worse than that. It is completely unpredictable and just does what it want. When I type in "Vi", the first choice is Visual Studio. It will stay on Visual Studio until I have typed in "Visual Studi". But if I'm a fast typer, and I type in the entirety of "Visual Studio", it opens Visual Studio Code.

So the fastest way to open up Code is to type "VSC". This doesn't work with "VS" for Visual Studio.

I have to type out "Spot" specifically to open Spotify. Typing out Spotify opens edge.

There are also files and programs it cannot find despite having been installed for years, even though I've MANUALLY added the paths to the searched directories.

If anyone of you is on Windows for whatever reason and want your mind blown, try downloading a little program called Everything. It can literally find every single program on your computer as fast as you can type. And it looks up exactly what you type in. It also supports wildcard characters etc. This is the kind of behavior I expect from my computer. Sure, make a shiny frontend for casual users who don't need to see every single file on their system, but please, why do I have to go through third parties to get this experience on an OS that my company paid for, when I can get the same experience out of the box on any free Linux distro?

He would 100% take that as a win

Your Gemini is way funnier in my opinion. I think he actually might have set up a trap for himself by asking it to produce what the LLM would consider a typical or average reply. Whereas by asking it to just make a short, funny comment, you're actually getting results that feel more natural.

For Gemini, only the first and last one read weird to me. But I think I would just assume that I'm missing some context to get the jokes, or something.

Whereas the actual replies from the OP actually reek of standard LLM drivel. The way it is trying so hard to sound casual and cool, but coming across as super awkward is just classic GPT.

What you're describing is an interface. An interface is a contract that ensures you can do something, but doesn't care how.

Abstract classes can have abstract functions. When you do this, you're basically just creating a base class with an interface on top; you're saying "all my children must implement this interface of mine" without having to actually make a separate interface.

Abstract classes also offer additional functionality though, such as the ability to define properties, and default implementations of methods. You can even utilize the base class implementation of the method in your child class, in order to perform extra steps or format your input before you do whatever it is you were doing in the first place.

So, an interface is a contract that allows you to call a method, without having to know the specific class or implementation.

Inheritance is more like "it does everything that X does, but it also does Y and Z." If you're ever finding yourself writing an abstract class with purely abstract methods, you probably want to write an interface instead. That way, you get all the same functionality, but it's more loosely coupled

Epecially when you think in "real" OOP terms:

Abstract classes are "child is a parent", fx "duck is a bird". Bird describes all the traits that all birds have in common. But not all birds fly, so flight must come from an interface. This interface can be passed around to any number of objects, and they're not as tightly coupled because unlike an abstract class, an interface doesnt imply that "duck is a flight". The interface is just something we know the duck can do.

As you can probably tell, I work with OOP on a daily basis and have for years. There are a lot of valid criticisms of the OOP philosophy, and I have heard a lot of good points for the record. I am just educating on the OOP principles because you said you were interested and to clear up any misconceptions.

Last week, I was watching a live taping of a comedy podcast, where a couple of journalists tell crazy stories from history.

They were doing the story of serial scammer, Frank Abergnale, aka the guy Leonardo DiCaprio plays in Catch Me If You Can. The problem with this story is that Frank Abergnale might be full of shit in his own right, as the only source for much of his story is based on his self-biography, which is very likely not true.

The hosts take turns researching and telling the stories, while the other one listens. This week, the storyteller was the lactose intolerant guy. So, because he knew his story was gonna be a lot of bullshit, he had brought a packet of 18 cheap cheeses. So if the listening host got a whiff of this being a lie, he would be able to call bullshit, and the storytelling host would have to eat one of the cheeses as punishment on behalf of Mr. Abergnale.

All this to say that this comment made me realize, we still have jesters and flatulists today. We just call them comedians and podcast hosts.

This is the kind of material the king is looking for. How are your farts?
