I was working on a C code base with classes, inheritance, and polymorphism, all done by hands and macros.

Something like

        typedef struct s_some_class {
        void (*method)(this *s_some_class);
    } t_some_class;



  

Overall, learning C was the best enabler in my whole career. For instance I was learning Python by tinkering with CPython VM, so when I see these ‘WAT’ quircks I know exactly what’s up.

Elevator, all public transport, buildings. There’s more space outside. Stop cramping.

While working on Borderlands 3, the team was severely underpaid. People started quitting, so Randy promised them an “unprecedented company profit-sharing bonus model.” That never got paid—he blamed “higher-than-anticipated development costs and sales not meeting projections.” Borderlands 3 went GOTY, a few dozens millions copies sold. Randy secured a $12M executive bonus for himself. When staff expressed dissatisfaction, Pitchford told them they were free to quit. This was in the middle of the pandemic, and the job market was absolute crap.

This is my new busyness e-mail signature.

I volunteer in my free time so that more Russian occupiers will be eliminated. I’m very proud of myself.

Russia had no significant gains over the last years with half a million casualties (KIA, MIA, lost limbs, war prisoners), the logistics is crumbling — they use donkeys, the economy and demographic are in the toilet but Russia is extremely good at spreading propaganda. So much so that the US admin is parroting it and putting pressure on Ukraine.

Comfortably runs on electronic thermometer or pregnancy test.

Indeed, those are anti-tank mines, absolutely harmless to humans.
