This was actually super interesting. I was expecting it to be stuff like "Save more than you spend", but it turned out to be about human behaviors in economics

Dumb Stuff People Do, later Behavioural Economics :D

@NathanMerrill Actually I'm not completely agreeing with one point: If you already have an object you probably cannot sell it for the same price you've bought it, so buying a new one might actually cost you more than you could sell one for. So I think it actually might make sense to judge the price of items you already have higher.

(But it is indeed an interesting topic:)

Fun fact: my workplace was temporarily unable to access a vital work website because our corporate overlords blocked it for containing a gambling term in the URL (presumably), which is the codename for one of our released games.

I can't stand pre-formatted comments. And not just because of code-golf. But because they're ugly. And the provide no extra information. And they're horribly outdated

Like, there's a file from some legacy code I'm working on, and there are literally 1,500 extraneous lines I could delete.

But this company has decided that pre-formatted comments are useful, so I can't delete them for no reason smh

That stinks. PRs with mostly-red diffs are fun.

Every single function has this:

//////////////////////////
// ClassName::Function  //
//////////////////////////
//
// REVISIONS:
//
//		VERSION:		DATE:		BY:	   	MARKER:		DESCRIPTION:
//		--------		----------	----	-------		------------
//		 42 			Blah		blah	N/A			RELEASE

What possible good could those kind of comments do?

I guess I could understand it if they were actually updated, but 1) They're not and 2) Source control is a thing that exists

@flawr Clusivity.

@TRiG You do that here too??

@El'endiaStarman I am now giggling extravagantly.

(If you want to know, I did a search for deaf across all SE chatrooms.)

Ahhh, lol.

Never been here before, but it looks like an interesting place. I may stay a while.

Welcome!

Hah, I should probably explain my first comment to TRiG. He occasionally speaks up in the Christianity main chat room and has, multiple times, responded to a message from months or years ago. It frequently kinda blew my mind that he would recall conversations from so long ago but I got used to it. Then he pops up here, a room I've never seen him in, and does the same thing.

@El'endiaStarman Old conversations don't die; they merely sleep.

And I know my reputation, which is why El'endia's greeting made me laugh.

Haha yeah, my "greeting" was a funny sort of greeting.

@TRiG Let me guess, you just read all the messages since the birth of P'n'S?

@flawr Not yet. I'll start working on it once my essays are submitted.

Haha, well it certainly has interesting stuff in here, good luck with your essays (and welcome to P&S!)

I hope you do not mind if I do some stealthy stalking right now

Feel most free. Unfortunately, you'll have to confine yourself to SE stalking, as my blog is offline.

I think that is sufficient for now:)

@TRiG You should also consider posting answers here on PPCG!

@flawr I've managed two questions and no answers so far.

Yep I just saw that:)

Oh and considering your appeal in your profile: I recommend learning Haskell :)

(which is quite different and does have a ton of technical documentationXD)

@flawr Might have to wait till I'm done with college. But yes, it would be nice to try something completely different.

I've started doing the basic web design course on CodeCademy, not because I actually expect to learn much from it, but because I might then be better equipped to help the kids in CoderDojo when they get stuck on it.

@TRiG best chatroom in the network. I am a bit biased though :)

@DJMcMayhem There's exactly 1 exception for me: License comments.

Oooh, good point. Strongly agree
