I think that’s a tad excessive. Sure, Windows sucks, but it’s not my machine so I don’t give a shit. Now, if they expected me to bring my own machine and also insist that it’s Windows, I’ll get pissed off and refuse the offer. Their machine though? They can demand whatever they want, so long as I can actually do my job.

9/10 times it’s not Windows I’m fighting against when I’m unable to do my job, it’s the IT department not giving me admin rights over the right folders so I can’t even install Docker without spending 3 days with them to get the right permissions.

Isn’t FFXIV an MMO? I don’t remember it being very Game of Thrones-y.

I’m of the opinion that it really depends on the nature of the game.

For example, the children are super hyped for GTA VI, because even though GTA V came out before some of them had object permanence, they’ve been playing it for years. It’s remained in their consciousness this entire time.

Compare that to Skyrim, which came out only a year or so before GTA V, and we haven’t seen an Elder Scrolls game since… The young don’t give a toss. They weren’t playing it then, they aren’t playing it now, so there’s absolutely no attachment to Elder Scrolls as a series.

Games used to stay in the consumer’s consciousness before by having sequels made every few years, sometimes even every year! Now? It’s all live services, so it doesn’t feel like the game hasn’t had a new iteration for over a decade.

In other words: Kids aren’t attached to franchises anymore because the game industry is stagnating.

You forgot to scoop!

Only if you’re going by the strict UML definition of composition, which doesn’t really apply here, since the industry has moved on a bit since UML was king.

Either way, you can use DI to do composition in the strictest UML way, provided every single dependency is transient and creates a new instance every single time. Even then though, when most devs talk about composition, they aren’t referring to the strict UML definition.

If you’ve used Dependency Injection before, you’ve used the principle of composition over inheritance. So, if you’ve ever used .Net (C#), Spring Boot (Java) or Laravel (PHP), you’ve likely used it. Modern C++ also has the DI pattern.

Rust and Go force you to use composition and don’t support inheritance at all, so if you’ve used either of those languages, you’ve followed the practice, though Go doesn’t support DI out of the box. Functional languages like Haskell also use composition over inheritance.

all of them?

I’m not sure what you mean? Doing composition over inheritance is considered good practice across the board, regardless of whether it’s frontend or backend.

Always favor composition over inheritance if you can.

Anyone who complains about code not compiling on the first try likely hasn’t been coding for very long. Getting your code to do what you tell it is easy, getting it to do what you want is hard.

Me when I buy a bunch of computer parts because my PC is dying and I know for a fact that the prices for components are only gonna get worse. Nearly £2000 down the drain and that’s not even including the GPU!

I wouldn’t call her entrepreneurially minded. She fully intended just to make a single coat and keep it herself. If she were intending on making it a business, she should have been setting up a Dalmatian farm with the 101 puppies and then mass produce the coats. Inbreeding health defects don’t matter all that much when you’re just gonna be skinning any puppies born within weeks.

The exception being Hugh Grant. He went from heart throb in the 90s and 00s to a kind of elderly villain archetype. I wouldn’t call him particularly handsome these days, and while I wouldn’t say he’s aged like milk, he’s certainly not a silver fox.

Despite not being washed up, he’s very good at looking as if he’s washed up.

Nah, angels appear in different forms depending on how high they are in the hierarchy. Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones all look distinctly non-human, and they don’t appear to humans often. Angels, Archangels and Principalities appear to humans quite often, so they all look like humans, just with wings.

Dominions, Virtues and Powers are somewhere inbetween so they look human, but not quite.

Iunno whether you’re judged as having the years not treat you well depends pretty heavily on your career and how well you do as an actress. For example, Maggie Smith definitely aged, but it didn’t matter because her image changed from a beauty when she was younger to a strict and harsh teacher/madam type as she entered her middle age and then to a refined and dignified lady when she was older. The same with Diana Rigg who was a Bond Girl, and is better known now as the Queen of Thorns than she ever was as Tracy Bond.

Being old is not necessarily a problem, it’s what you’re known for. If you’re known exclusively for your beauty when you’re young, and don’t pivot as you age, then you’re gonna have a problem.

Dude must be a vampire or something because in the Bible it says you can eat meat, you just can’t drink the blood, which is why you should drain the blood from any animal you slaughter before consuming the flesh. If we’re going by Christian depictions of angels then I assume we’re going by Christian afterlives and commandments.

The only times I’ve seen devs do inline comments in their code is when it’s been done by AI, and I can tell it’s AI because the comments are all useless and describing what’s happening, not why.

I wish I could say the same. I didn’t get into programming for the money, I got into it because it was the only thing I was any good at and generally wouldn’t discriminate against me because of my disability.
