  • My first encounter with it was an ex referring to "lasagna noodles". The expression on my face...

  • I really can't get behind calling things other than noodles, noodles (except pool noodles).

  • Podcast Republic has the same issue.

  • You think Fury Road was primarily green screened?

    The majority of what was done was compositing. The stunts, props, etc. were real. The crashing war rig was real, for example.

    It's one of the things I thinks makes Furiosa worse - much less practical.

  • Similarly I gave up trying to keep up with the ever evolving mail server requirements. I'd wake up to find my emails weren't reaching people because Google and MS had strongarmed some change into place again.

    These days I just use inbox.eu for my email.

  • Bought some back when I lived in Scotland and Somerfield had a deal on multiple blocks of cheese. Didn't finish it.

  • Speaking of propping things up - Wensleydale were propped up by Wallace & Gromit.

  • Daemon

  • They appear in Warhammer a fair bit.

  • Must be NW in that case as I spent every summer from 1994 to 2005 near Hexham!

  • It's not a UK thing I've ever heard of and I've lived in Wales, England, and Scotland.

  • That's, uh, not what PIA means in this thread.

  • Excellent question! Commenting to follow.

  • People actually like infinite scroll?

  • I'm glad someone is saying it. I'm a software engineer and someone elsewhere in this thread is giving me shit for not having much use for the low level stuff.

    I was teaching a junior about character encoding a couple of months ago (I suspect his CS degree came free in a box of cereal) but most of what we do is build tooling on top of other tooling. I'm not working on bare metal here!

  • You're in a foul mood today, aren't you? Okay, hope tomorrow is better. I'm not arguing with you about whatever this nonsense is.

  • Your continuing inability to engage in an even remotely constructive way is really tragic.

    Instead of seeing my response as "He takes my point and sees that his initial comment was too broad. We could have a conversation" it just ends up as an opportunity for you to make this community more hostile. That's so sad.

    Hopefully you're just having a bad day.

  • Respond to the point or bugger off.

  • Calling me out on a clarification when you're banging on with ad hominem rubbish?

    Respond to the point or bugger off. I'm not here to impress you, you're not my dad.

    Third, that sloppiness and failure to pay attention is only reinforcing my initial impression.

    A good engineer knows when the details matter and when it's just wasting everyone's time. Would you classify responding to someone being needlessly hostile as something other than a waste of time?

    If anything you should be criticising me for choosing to spaff more time on this conversation.

  • Hah! You picked the two of your that list that I actually do care about.

    • pointers * allocation * reference vs value * recursion * stack * panics, errors, error propagation * data structures

    I don't know what pointers are. I don't care about memory allocation. Recursion rarely comes up.That's not the kind of codebase I work with. I guess I'm not a proper big-boy programmer 😢

    Anyway, your snide remarks about my abilities aside, that doesn't address my point at all.
