30 years ago we definitely had snow in winter. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But I remember playing in snow basically every winter as a kid. And I’m living in a very mild region of Germany. Now I’m considering all season tires (just for legal purposes) to not change wheels twice a year, since there is maybe some snow for one week in total.

Spoke with a guy this week who was born in the 30s. He said winter back then was much harder. Whole lakes or even rivers were frozen solid. I can’t imagine being able to walk to the other side of a major river…

But I’d say (at least that’s my experience) it’s not a very addictive substance. Or it depends heavily on the person.

I drink 0-5 cups a day. I like the taste and I like drinking it in some social settings. I don’t need it in the morning to get my body awake. I can just stop drinking coffee any time for longer periods of time without any issues.

Once I was working in Bavaria for about 6 weeks. We drank around 1l of beer every dinner. Returning home I wanted to drink a beer after the first dinner. This made me stop drinking alcohol for two months and since I made this experience I regularly stop consuming substances that may be addictive. I never experienced this with caffeine.

Nice

What about a GOpher?

It behaves like a pocket of air trapped under some wrap/sticker: It moves around without loosing its shape or density 😂

Good old brainfuck 👌

I first didn’t see this face but your image made me LOL 😂😂😂

Dude was missing FIFA 98 RTWC in his collection

This is the right answer. Source: worked as a cashier.

• You are surprised you have to pay for stuff and need minutes to find your money? I’m surprised too that I have to hand you back some change and need just as much time.
• You have been an asshole in general? Just let me grab a fresh roll of small coins, open it an take coin after coin and put everything on the counter.
• My all time favorite: A guy came and was ready to pay the correct sum (it was like three coins). He immediately left after putting everything on the counter. I wondered why he was in such a hurry. Then I saw that he paid with a foreign coin that looked like a 2€ coin but was actually worth around 50 Cents back then. I don’t know why but I am really good in recognizing faces. So I used my superpower for my petty revenge: I waited around 3-6 months until this guy came again. He paid with a bill. When giving him his change, I grabbed that coin as the last one placed it on the counter and gave it back.

Cashiers are human beings. They are intellectually as able as everybody else. And they know all tricks from customers. So please, have some respect for people doing their jobs.

Just like at work: Forward office calls to your mobile. Forward mobile calls to your office phone.

Get your work done until everybody finds out and starts wasting your time again 😂

Imagine you create some memes that our planet is flat. And a couple of years later there are people that believe in this BS.

Wait a minute….

IMHO assembly isn’t hard. When you gain enough experience you start to see „visual patterns“ in your code. For example jumping over some lines often equals to a if/else statement or jumping back is often a loop etc. Then you are able to skim code without the necessity to read each line.

The most difficult part is to keep track of the big picture because it is so verbose. Otherwise it’s a handful or two of instructions you use 90+% of the time.

I needed it often in the past in the PLC world but it is dying out slowly. Nonetheless, when I encounter 30+ year old software I’m happy to be able to get along. And your experience transitions to other architectures like changing from one higher language to another.

Nonetheless, if I’m able to choose, I’ll take Go. Please and thank you 😊

This reminded me of that one flight as a kid, when I was seated in a row with two smokers. I literally couldn’t breathe. I’m happy that my kids don’t have to experience shit like this.

Is this a Perpetuum chocolatee?

I don’t know if I should feel happy or sad because there seem to be other devs dreaming the same retirement dream.

Your answer doesn’t solve the issue and is a duplicate. I’ll double downvote you right now
