I guess with a C++ file this big, you need some humor to keep your sanity. Anyway, this one resonated with me: "vi has two modes - 'beep repeatedly' and 'break everything'" Here is another interesting one: "A cookie has no soul, it's just a cookie. But before it was milk and eggs. And in eggs there's the potential for life", Jean-Claude van Damme

I see this huge C++ file and I raise you a Java file that's so enormous github refuses to render it: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/...

You mean people give it to you? You can't get away with taking one billion dollars from others without their permission unless you are the government ;)

"The best things in life are free. Notepad++ is free. So Notepad++ is the best. " Logically incorrect. Maybe that is the joke. Should be: "The best things in life are free. Notepad++ is free. Therefore if something is not free, it cannot be one of the best things, or notepad++"

Yes, that is the joke lol. Just like the witch scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I added #L7102-L7368, but it disappeared automatically after I clicked submit.

HN rewrites headline text by default, but if you edit and save afterwards it doesn't rewrite the second version. Maybe the same is true of the URL text?

Unfortunately normal users can’t edit the url after submitting.

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 the food.

# I should feed him.

under some code where I was plotting a forecast.

Yeah HN does that, screws up reddit comment links too.

It’s one of the most annoying features of HN. I’ve tried submitting GitHub comments to no avail, since it’s impossible to get a permalink to them.

I guess you could create redirect page redirecting to specific comment and submit that?

This only makes sense from a naively individualist perspective. If no one ever made a billion dollars, so to speak, there would be no money at all.

Money just gets arbitarily created by banks. It is easy to "make money".

Maintaining a stable, accepted currency however, is quite hard and so is providing enough value for others, that they give you a billion dollars of a stable, accepted currency ...
