  • I don’t really consider myself part of the fanbase, don’t think I’ll even have the bandwidth to play a game of this size anymore - but I can empathize.

    Because I was already disappointed with GTA 3. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a really good game, but it’s simply not the top down chaos machine that GTA meant until then.

    It was kinda the time where everybody thought 3D must be better than 2D. OK, only option is to accept that they’re not making the type of game GTA meant until then anymore; now it just means that in the story, you’re a criminal.

    And now that’s also gone? Well, what is there left of an identity then - it’s a videogame, I guess?

    Man thinking about it, I should see if I can get 1, 2 or GTA London somewhere, give that another go and relive some memories lol



  • Nenn mal überhaupt ein Unternehmen welches eigene Emailserver handhabt. Gibts bestimmt, aber muss man schon echt suchen.

    Und solange man nicht selbst ein Unternehmen ist welches solche Server verkauft, ist das auch Quatsch: Die wären seit dem letzten Office Ausfall schon drei mal ausgefallen, weils halt für die nur Nebensache ist.

    Und dann sagt der Kunde nicht “ja, hat ja jeder das Problem jetzt”, sondern denkt sich “hmm bisschen amateurhaft”.













  • Oh I see, we’re talking acceleration vs top speed.

    Yeah no doubt from me if we’re talking about heating up a full pot of water. I do that in a water boiler instead, which is also electric. I was talking more about how quick a chicken filet starts to sizzle if I put it in a pan - and then I definitely do NOT want to proceed to go to max heat! And that’s what I meant is (pretty much) instant, couple of seconds maybe (sorry I don’t have any chicken filet right now and it isn’t dinner time either).

    Which, in the end, also falls back to theoretical vs practical a little bit. If I need a lot of water e.g. for noodles, I use the water boiler first - but either way waiting for the water to boil is in the range of minutes. A minute more or less wouldn’t make a difference in the process of cooking.

    OTOH, if I put a chicken filet in my pan, I already know I’ll instantly add salt and spices, and I don’t have time to do anything else in the next minute or so. Reaction time is in seconds.





  • I think it’s las about verbosity and more about maintainability. I like to use collection expressions as direct arguments because they automatically get typed based on the parameter type. Something like

    ProcessEmployees([ employee, manager ]);

    Now if you adjust the parameter type from List<> to HashSet<> you don’t need to change anything at the call site.

    That was the situation before. With that new feature I can now configure the collection more where needed.
