Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. …Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end.

I once worked with a senior dev that insisted unit tests should check for the exact text of an expected exception down to the line number. Meaning that any time a line was added or removed from those files, the tests would fail :waycool:

ay was trying to catch the specific expected exception from that one function call but not falsely catch exceptions of the same stack trace in that block of code.

i get what it was trying to do but thats the dumbest way to do that.

He also wrote his own library of utility functions with awesome stuff like left padding strings with zeros (by default, left pad by anything you want!) and tried to get us to use it. I asked how this was better than Apache commons stuff (or a gazillion other things) and he said he’d have to check that out

hard shell was invented by immigrants in tx and ca at basically the same time, but you can't blame immigrants for what midwesterners did later

I think decimal time was actually a good idea and it would be worth the adjustment pains to not have to deal with timezones ever again.

yeah the only thing special about euro sizes is they have some sqrt(2) relationship which tef was real excited about but i cant remember now.

it shouldnt be surprising that even imperial paper sizes are all based on "take a big fuckoff sheet and fold it in half a bunch of times"

tbh i don’t actually know much about US paper but does it have the attribute that each size up or down is exactly folded in half or doubled?

like you can make two A5 papers from cutting one A4 in half

not quite, but tabloid (11"x17") is two letter (8.5"x11") side by side. otoh legal is 8.5"x14". in practice, most paper is letter, occasional tabloid.

tbh when i want paper that isn't letter or tabloid, i look for intl paper sizes!
