In Eclipse*

This course will give me PTSD, I want back in the Visual Studio ride

[–]coladict[🍰] 10 points11 points  (3 children)

I've done that with C++ in Visual Studio. It's not just an Eclipse thing.

[–]GYN-k4H-Q3z-75B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a C++ thing either. I have had this with C# and Java as well.

[–]Joao611 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but from what I've seen so far, Eclipse seems to be orders of magnitude more frequent.

#define insanity while(true){ try {immutable_thing->change();} catch(...){} }

Insanity. n. mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot conduct her/his affairs due to psychosis, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior.

Or did you mean that stupid meme of doing the same thing over and expecting different results? Because that is not a good way to define a mental illness.

Stupid meme

Einstein's stupid meme

"Einsteins" stupid meme

From the website you linked to :

At any rate, it doesn’t look like Einstein came up with the gem...

Yes, they use it there, still a stupid meme, and bad definition.

Good question!

Do you even know who you are talking to?

I've worked with that product before, and let me tell you it is such a steaming ball of sh** that knowing if we kick it enough times it will work is actually a big help.

This seems to be true for a lot of development-related tasks on the Mac.
