That snippet can't represent the real world:

but the player we did kill was so pissed

I actually only found that one. But well, it's unambiguous :)

EDIT: Hum... "Pissed" has another meaning that would be possible IRL. So I'm retreating my certainty here.

Those arms have a complex non-planar geometry, but I guarantee they are realizable even in an Euclidean space. Try it again.

Apart from dynamically typed languages which need to store the type with the value

You know that depending on what your code does, the same C that people are talking upthread doesn't even need to allocate memory to store a variable, right?

I have never met that kind of person that won't accept a short answer that actually answers a question.

What I have seen plenty of is people that are completely sure nobody else will accept short answers. They specifically will always accept it, of course, but nobody else.

Only one of them is limiting himself to Euclidean geometry. The others are perfectly calm.

And compiler. And hardware architecture. And optimization flags.

As usual, it's some developer that knows little enough to think the walls they see around enclose the entire world.

And both single bullet point messages are completely opposite to each other!

GNU tar is easy and straight-forward.

It's also completely incompatible with any other Unix, but then, what difference does it make is nobody can use them?

but now the computer science bubble is popping

It's more of an anti-bubble where companies are keeping salaries down in an unsustainable way. Software development still has at least a decade of good salaries to go.

It's not the first time this happened.

At some time, it offered templates and grammar verification.

If you think depending on a unreliable heuristic to steal your focus and give you those things at random times is "useful", than yeah, it was.
