i like the last one

yes

This is a valid form of protest

This is true in Lua as well (substituting ‘nil’ for 'null)

Docs and testing have no bravado, but they’re important. If they’re dragging you down, use your problem-solving brain and find a way to make them work for you.

You’re probably right about that. It is irritating though that we’ve added more syllables.

I’m just grumpy because I don’t like random change for no reason. I think I’m probably in the 99th percentile for how irritated I get when software or a website changes its layout. I also haven’t seen any trustworthy anecdotes of people who find the term blacklist/whitelist offensive to them, but I don’t really go looking either. Perhaps I should.

I think people should be concerned about things on others’ behalfs. We all need to stick together.

This situation is a send-up though. Totally not a concern.

Evil forces of darkness and good forces of light is engrained into our cultural DNA. Night=dangerous, day=safe is just something you have to learn early as a woman, it is a fact of society and we can’t pretend it isn’t.

Dark lord, black rider, white knight… why focus on whitelist/blacklist specifically?

Just use C

Why is this programmer humour?

Would you expect lower or higher?

I hate Jira because it’s slow and there’s no CLI interface

I laugh because this is funny but then I think, oh god what if she’s serious and now there’s going to be a twitter campaign to remove satanic language in tech.

Moreso, I like to be able to have control of the game. If I play a game with my friends that I like, I don’t want the game to be changed into something else (live service) so I can’t come back and play the version we once did.

Good point.

I wouldn’t require source code, no. I would just consider that one acceptable form of allowing the game to continue being playable. However, it requires intervention from the user, so it wouldn’t be accepted under this proposal.

Under the proposed rule, a company would not avoid penalty by releasing the source code.

so that no further intervention whatsoever is necessary for the game to function

I mean, I’d accept “release the source code” but this doesn’t.

I never play games that are pure online with no LAN support.

No, it’s unreasonable to expect the servers to stay online forever. Instead, they should be required to hand the keys over to the community if they stop providing the online service.

So it updates now and then with new rules, and it keeps historical rules for past dates?

What does tz_database do? Wikipedia makes it seem like it basically converts a pair (geocoordinatr, utc time) to local time
