I actually tested a bunch of those on GH Copilot -- sure enough, it does autocomplete certain prompts. No wonder, some are probably known quotes. Anyway, when I'm feeling down in my VSCode environment, I enter some random prompts in search of a pun. Most of the time it's just random rambling but hey: # (prompt: my dog ...) seems to be interested in the plot. # I wonder what the dog is thinking about. # Probably about…

Did you feed the dog?

Agreed. A certain amount of word–play is necessary for a happy and healthy life. Sadly I once worked on a team that didn’t understand this. I had been given the task to add an insignificant feature to a minor subsystem, and by chance the first two methods I added to my class had names that started with the letter A. I had to “ask” the user for confirmation, and I had to “authenticate” a widget. To keep myself interes…

Oh my...what an awful way to get back from vacation! It's such a shame when egos get involved like that. I deeply appreciate that level of wordplay though! Glad it worked out for you in the end, and I hope you have continued to express true creativity in your code :)

It's also the cartesian ontological argument for the existence of God. >The God is perfect. >If the God did not exist it wouldn't be perfect. >Therefore God must exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontological_argument#Ren%C3%A9...

The ontological argument is a valid deduction > A, B implies not A thus not B The problem is that you have to prove both A and (B implies not A), without self referentially assuming it in the first place,

There’s one of those for C++ too, say hello to the .NET garbage collector: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/src/coreclr/gc/g...

TypeScript has the same; the whole type checker is in one massive file with 46,393 lines: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/main/src/compil... IIRC they cited performance reasons when compiling the compiler for the decision not to split the file up, but I could be wrong on this.

It also makes sense from a marxist perspective. How billionaires/capitalists take the surplus value from manual labour and all that untrendy stuff.

It is not trendy, because labour is not something that exists by itself in a vacuum.
