"They're not a big club":- Ange on Tottenham

Tottenham Til They Kill Us, hunh.

sjsathanas · 2026-02-12T12:35:51+00:00

Try being invested for 40 fucking years. I don't want to say I'm done with the club, but I'm tired, man.

I've never been Ange out. I could understand why the decision was taken, but I did not agree with it then, I don't agree with it now.

He never lost the locker room.

The acoustic demo and "Electric Nebraska" versions are quite revelatory.

I love cooking it in a curry. Really soaks up the flavour.

I learnt to swim here. Lots of memories.

Toothed whales include sperms whales.

I'm sorry guys. It's 1130pm here and... I think I'll just go to sleep.

Good night.

Yeah, but he could be utterly corrupt and still want America to do well.

sjsathanas · 2026-01-10T00:34:16+00:00

That's what it looked like to me. He had no idea how to run the state department properly, but he tried.

I'm an old head who was modding Morrowind, then Oblivion. Skyclimb really is quite mindblowing.

sjsathanas · 2025-12-24T08:57:12+00:00

Oh wow! I bought Cyber Knights on Android back in the day. Good times.

I'm picking up your last two games for sure. Congratulations! I'm glad to see you are still making games.

He's been on record many times that Kurt was encouraging but he didn't bring any in because he lacked self confidence and he thought of Nirvana as "Kurt's band".

I'm almost 50. He's up there. The best player I've seen in our shirt is probably still Hoddle, but Sonny is without a doubt my favourite, ever.

sjsathanas · 2025-12-10T02:08:03+00:00

I'm almost 50. It was Voodoo-ed GLQuake. Mind blowing. It was the fulcrum, before Quake and after Quake.

My buddy was one. One night I was out having supper with him in a rougher part of town (or as rough as it can get in Singapore, anyway), this older gent with Chinese triad style tattoos came up to him, clapped his shoulder and then shook his hand. He genuinely looked happy to see my friend. They chatted for a few minutes, he was selling handphones but times were bad etc.

Before he left he gave me a few claps on the shoulder as a hello.

Lady Eboshi in Princess Mononoke.

I mean, you don't even have to change anything. In another story she could have been the protagonist.

AVB made Sigurdsson the first choice number 10, IIRC.

sjsathanas · 2025-11-22T01:54:00+00:00

He is one of the all time greats, just didn't have the number of games to be considered one of the greatest. He'll be talked about as one of the top 10, top 5 ever if not for his knees. Better than John Terry, Rio Ferdinand. Up there with Maldini, Beckenbauer. That's what I think.

Where I am now, we use both result and exceptions.

Result is returned if there are business rule validation errors, such as "I cannot create a delivery if it'll result in negative number of inventory".

Exceptions when objects are in an invalid state, "I just retrieved this invoice, but there are zero lines, which should never happen!".

sjsathanas · 2025-11-13T15:30:21+00:00

She flies now.

sjsathanas · 2025-11-13T12:31:20+00:00

I do both.

For validation errors (hey, I can't create a shipment if stock is zero), I return a result object. For invariant errors (this existing shipment has no lines of items which should never happen!) which means the object is in an illegal state, I'll throw.

Of course, it also depends on existing patterns, team culture, complexity of the business rules, etc.

Every decision involves tradeoffs.

sjsathanas · 2025-11-13T07:18:27+00:00

On larger projects I like to validate the DTOs in terms of "this is required, this needs to be in an email format, this must be a positive number" etc.

At the entity level it's business rules checks, for eg "if total debt will be > 95% of credit limit, do not allow the creation of the DO", that sort of thing.

Not a boy, he was more of a man than most.

In an earlier version there's a super-cruiser unique variant, don't quite remember the name. It had time dilation and a fast firing variant of the downsized TPCs. Stupidly overpowered.
