So according to logic, assembler is pure alcohol?
Minimal frills I would think And then there's machine code - industrial alcohol
Did you mean Methanol which is like alcohol but toxic.

#162The C#, it turns out, is the same as a Java but with a finer stock of liqueurs. The recipe for C#.NET however, is proprietary and no one can quite explain why one in a thousand makes you ill, or why the bottom of the glass seems to fall out sometimes.
"...explain why one in a thousand makes you ill, or why the bottom of the glass seems to fall out sometimes..."
Sounds more like current JavaScript and HTML/CSS. Unless you "drink" it using special kind of "glassware" like JQuery and BootStrap.

In which way C# and .NET is proprietary? WCF, WindowsForms, EntityFramework are proprietary. But nobody in sane mind will use them.
I am proficient in all three of those technologies. I was about to object... but yeah, you're pretty much spot-on. I still say that, except for the omgwtfbbq databinding stuff, Winforms was a fine technology for its time. It's just that its time is past and MS doesn't ever update anything, they just abandon-and-replace with something horribly baroque. EF is my definition for "so close, and yet so far". I have no idea…
WebAPI and SignalR (backed by Microsoft) replace WCF for most of unreliable stuff. The rest should be using message queues anyways.

But the good thing about it, unlike its superior rival George Dickel, is that JD is not owned by Diageo. It's a pity that I have to boycott Dickel because of that, but I'm not giving my money to those assholes. EDIT: and yeah, rayiner's wife is awesome :)
That's a lot of brands to boycott, including, sadly Guiness.
Unfortunately yes. But there is lots of good stuff outside the Diageo umbrella :)

#165Gotta chime in here because I do this professionally. This is why people don't like cocktails. These are seriously terrible. I wouldn't serve any of these, ever. I don't want to be overly negative here, but no number of pull requests will fix this. Rather than try to salvage these, I will offer take out anyone who's interested and introduce you to a bunch of the top folks in the food and drink biz. There's really not…

You mean ... we have to fork?

And what's the Java? An Old Fashioned, made with coffee bitters.

WinForms - in fact is OK. It's just old.
WCF and EF - "oh noes". My eyes are bleeding with just one look at this.
Microsoft can make something simple and brilliant as TPL, but on other side we have such overengineered behemots as WCF and EF.

#168While not themed after languages and such, I keep a gist of my favorite cocktails I either want to try or the recipes me and my friends have come to enjoy: https://gist.github.com/dylan/6093669 My engineering pals think me using a gist to store recipes is funny... :P

Very nice.

#169Another cocktail is the "Tschunk", which is hugely popular with hackers here in Germany. See the recipe here: https://entropia.de/Tschunk (the main ingredient, a carbonated, caffeinated soda called "Club-Mate" is difficult to source outside of Germany, though).
Hackerspaces around the world tend to figure out how to get it. It's hard to get in Poland, and yet in Hackerspace Kraków we have a crate ;).
It must be the unofficial beverage of hackerspaces -- the one in Canberra, Australia has an old glass-door refrigerator case full of it, and the empties line the back wall: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wil5oncle7us/8764800032/in/pool...

Absinthe + pear juice is great. Also absinthe + energy drink of some sorts. Though somewhat good absinthe is necessary for it as fake/cheap brands are really horrible.
Can you recommend some good ones, preferably ones that are available in the US? I've heard good things about North Shore's Sirène...
I can't, sorry. I'm in Europe and drink mostly local ones. But you might check this out for hints http://www.reddit.com/r/absinthe
