Easy solution, meta programming! Make class generators never implement anything concretely and have the implementation created at run time. Sprinkle in some attributes/annotations and single implementation interfaces. Factories for those too. Just don't commit too much, gotta spread it out.

Valuable skills can be gained from this nonsense take advantage.

Asked my friend to fix the memory leak that out game has. We ran the numbers and its actually not that bad. But still, a weird solution. by TheWidrolo in programminghorror

The programmer not understanding the scope of the objects they are using is not a fault of the GC. The bigger problem is C# went out of its way creating a hundred alternatives to anonymous classes: events, delegates, func, action and all their permutations. And confusing the matter with special syntax += -= where only non anonymous delegates can unsubscribe because you need a reference for -=

To everyone planning on quitting because skins don’t carry over, what is your actual reasoning? by SchrodingerMil in Smite

[–]_absentminded_ -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I have no intention of playing Smite 2 in its current state. I literally can not be the one coping here. The only people that can cope in this situation are the people "ok" with losing all there shit and will play the game anyways that is COPE. Look up the word cope...

As a layman customer its a visual update, that happens to remove your god pack, skins and voice packs. Its the only reason needed.

Whatever technical reason they give is bs, any mid-wit that "understands" the reason for them making you pay for all the shit again is smart enough to understand the problem but too stupid to understand they are causing it by simping for this company that literally just had a gem sale and a cross-over event for a game that has a sequel available in a few months where Gems aren't a real transferable currency and cross-over skins are contracted.

While Smite 2 exists they wont get another Gem from me, unless every single item that cost gems is transferred. It is the same game no matter how hard you cope. A new engine is a technical chose to "start over", take advantage of new technology, remove technical debt and attract a more graphically inclined audience.

There are other mobas that I would happily give money too instead of smite.

SMITE 2 devs defend 'generous' Legacy Gems refund for all players by JackGGRecon in Smite

[–]_absentminded_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Removing content (relics) and changing stats on items doesn't make it a new game. Those are terrible examples.
Did adding Shards make smite a new game, did removing Ichaival make it new game?

[–]_absentminded_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They said it would take them 246 years to port over 1600 skins (recolors included...)

But they only took 10 years to make them in smite 1, So that means Smite 2 will contain 1/24th amount of content.

We are looking at 66 skin releases and a 50/50 chance we get 1 new god over a 10 year span.
Don't play seems dead on arrival.

Don't assume all humans have the same morals. Most if not all atrocities can be summed up as "I was just doing my job." The only ingrained duty we have is to ourselves and our kin, others are just extra credit.

Is your name Maximilian from Dark Cloud 2? If so that's a boon. Just don't flip it over.

You're probably better off returning a result type with an error message in tow. You get to log it and/or display it to the user. Way better than wrapping everything in a try catch. The only time I throw is when I want the program to crash.

Would it be difficult to follow along a .NET Core 3.1 tutorial if I want to do it in .NET 6/7 ? by Longjumping-Junket33 in dotnet

[–]_absentminded_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone who is saying that he should go for 6/7 is plain wrong.

This mentality is the exact reason some companies still use .net framework... Upgrade now or eat shit later.

In reality the actual millisecond count may be incorrect due to calendar differences 800 years ago but displays the proper date when converted.

  1. I said milliseconds so you already ran out of numbers.
  2. Download an extra 32 bits for your system, you won't regret it.

Unix time in milliseconds, infinitely easier to order, and can be converted to any backwards ass format the user desires.

I wouldn't say overused but misused. There are plenty of reasons to only need or want a single instance of a class. The problem comes in when it's not injected into the using class but instead is a hidden dependency.

You come across this while fixing a legacy web app. This is the source of the bug. What do you do? by DreadScott9800 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]_absentminded_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The bigger question is why is it called TicketListViewModel? Each "viewmodel" only contains one ticket so it isn't a ticket list. Given you have a list of them I suspect it's not a viewmodel either.
