Exactly! I hate these stupid archetypes.

I don't think anyone would use that construction though in the midwest if they only meant the men. If they wanted all the guys to get off the dance floor they would say "Now, all the guys are going to step off the dance floor." "The guys" is much different than "you guys", at least where I live.

Granted, it is murky so I also don't really care about switching to y'all. The only problem I have with "y'all" is that it is such a southern thing that using it to me with my midwest accent sounds forced and awkward (At least to my ears).

Ah interesting. Thanks for the info.

I think the big use-case is on Android where you're stuck with Java 7 and therefore can't use lambdas.

Still, it seems incredibly unlikely that someone needing a pixel art editor would not want the ability to save their work.

Oh come on. I think they just weren't user friendly tools. I doubt they developed them with the intention of being obtuse.

Wonder if that has something to do with size of America relative to most countries in Europe. Americans just simply have to drive more and for longer distances. Driving doesn't seem so fun in the midwest.

As both a hacker and a brewer this is extremely interesting. Building a temperature controller fermentation chamber is something I want to do at some point.

> They don’t teach rails at uni. So straight off the bat it eliminates that large segment of people inspired by the dot-com bubble to get IT degrees to earn good bucks. Java and .NET developers are a dime a dozen.

Yep, just because you know a certain framework (not even a language, a freaking framework) means that you can pass judgement on how valuable every Java and .NET developer is. This guy obviously doesn't have a clue about what he's talking about. They don't teach any other framework at most universities. It's assumed you can learn that stuff on your own. Just because you went and learned Rails doesn't make you automatically a programming superstar.

I first used Git before I really understood source code control and more or less did the same thing. Kept it up until a friend of mine that I was working on the project with figured out that there had been upwards of 200 commits in one day with no commit messages. Oops.

Submissions like this have no value. Posting this code just to laugh at how ignorant the programmer seems petty to me. Also, this code is so blatantly bad, it almost seems fake.

This struck a chord with me. I tend follow up long days at work with lifting sessions in the gym. Helps me get a grip on the world outside the computer sometimes.
