Goddamn you. Stop facting!

On top of large, one-time cash bonuses (tax-free I think), housing, food, medical care, & education. Plus the Army lets you pick your job prior to signing, as long as your ASVAB score is high enough & there is a job opening.

So the US lost then?

OR, as plenty of my Southern friends & family did, join the military as a way to get education & job experience and perhaps, for the only time in their lives, live in Europe, Japan, or Korea.

The American government is great at spending money, period. If it wasn’t so wasteful, it’d be able to make that $4 trillion yearly budget go further.

We should rely on any U.S. politician to save us?

Such hyperbole.

So what do you suggest? Killing them? Imprisoning them en masse?

For many state elections, registrants aren’t required to provide proof of citizenship. I’m very happy that, for systems that operate “under an honor system”, people in America are incredibly honest. Well, besides the 1-3% of the jury pool in U.S. District Court who have to be dismissed as being non-citizens... but…

PM: <lightly knocks on door> Hey, guys! Sorry to bother you four again, but management asked me how long it would take for us to switch our backend from AWS to Azure. I committed us to two weeks to give us some padding. Let me know if you need a few days more. See ya later at the quad-weekly status review!”

:o I stand corrected.

“It just works.”

Exactly. I hate when people assume it’s oh-so-easy to code something up. It depends on the code base, first of all, and even with clean, elegant engines usually involves a lot more work than they’d assumed.

They STILL don’t support TrackIR. Literally unplayable.

“this is literally a couple lines of code.”

What magical lines of code would that be? Really, I can’t even think of a ridiculous way to describe how to set up the UI to enable mouse support, allow rebinding, and whatever else their engine needs.

Literally, the poster was full of shit.

That’s... incredibly sad. :(

I think there should have been multiple layers of error catching. I like tooling taking care of things where hand-editing can result in errors.

Does that exist?!?! :o That would have saved me so many headaches...

Personally, I use AssignTaskToIntern.exe. Not nearly as good...

From what I understand, there are a ton of config files. I would have taken a day or two just to write a C# tool that lets you edit config files, instead of doing it by hand. You should also do some checking in the code, logging, so many other things that would have caught this error...

I facepalm all the time when I’m…

There are a dozens of ways to handle that situation, and more than one probably should have been employed. I mean, some sort of ‘schema’ check, an exception thrown if a method is looking for a config value & can’t find it, tools for editing config files instead of by hand...
