Well, not entirely. There are cases for which a person utters the wish and it is not counted. “I wish for a million wishes!”

The standard is for the genie to explain the exceptions but not count that as a wish.

Now, it could decrement the count after this check. But just decrementing the count before verification would be sloppy.

But, then again, basic verification would also include checking that wishes_remaining <= MAX_WISHES.

Which, I think is a pretty standard check for genie’s. Given that that constant has remained at 3 since their beta days and exceptions are thrown for violations of this rule.

I think I can answer most of your questions by saying he comes over to discuss the lease in a Mercedes Maybach. An SUV that starts at $178,000.

I don’t think age or other things really matter at that point.

He owns multiple properties and houses.

But, still, my entire point is that this relationship in itself is what needs to die. It’s not this individual dudes fault. It’s a system that allows people like this to exist that produce nothing.

I literally asked. He said he’s not selling.

Landlord said to me “property tax has gone up. This is my only form of income. Will need to increase rent”

Told him “yeah, everything has gone up and my paycheck is still the same”.

Like, these types of relationships are so parasitic. This is the “nice” mom and pop style landlord too that every liberal seems to want to give a pass too.

Sure, are they less bad than the big corporate faceless landlords? Yes. But the entire relationship is the problem.

They get to justify forcing me out of my home because the value of the house that they own WENT UP.

That’s why their property tax is more. They literally own something that is more valuable and making it further impossible for me to ever buy a place of my own.

12 years take on the unjustifiable hierarchy of grown ups?

Is this some really weird class analysis that involves generational heirarchy?

Like, is this the anarchist meme of “bed time is a parental construct from an unjustifiable hierarchy?”

Seriously, though. I must be misunderstanding what you are trying to say.

If you completely lack class analysis. Sure.

Jews and minority groups are specifically used as scapegoats for the inequality and exploitation that capitalism causes. It’s why fascism is a defense of capitalism when it is in it’s in decline.

Pointing to the actual systemic causes is not a Nazi meme. And there has been no revolution in history in which the ruling class gave up power without first enacting violence on the lower class of society in order to maintain its power.

Threatening violence in response to the violence enacted by the ruling class is not a “Nazi meme”.

In a just world the ruling class today in America should be hung for their crimes of genocide.

Ha no worries. But that basically sounds like Washington state. But I guess maybe we have a lot more “outdoor” people here and maybe that makes people more likely to not view firearms so negatively.

What state are you in? Washington SRA is my only experience.

Our SRA membership has surged since the election. Definitely more socialist understanding why they would want to be armed.

When “no fault” divorce was made legal it was literally a win for men and they didn’t even know it.

When a women wanted a divorce in the old days she’d just drop some visine in your morning coffee. Just a little bit every day until the problem was dealt with.

Lua starts at 1 too. It’s infuriating. I believe for the same historical reason Matlab does.

Both meant for non CS people.

Literally just had the same thing happen to me. This time at Microsoft. Worked for a small startup. It got bought out in 2023 after investments in actual hardware that wasn’t named Nvidia died.

Layoffs on most of our engineers. Somehow I survived and basically did no work for 2 years. Was finally laid off.

I hated it. But I basically stole a salary from Microsoft for two years. Fuck these big tech companies.

Fucking Christ. Glad I left windows behind.

Oh man. You should see the source code for IOS (the Cisco one not Apple).

Spent 5 years working on it out of college. I think it’s the most cursed code base you can imagine.

Not necessarily because of the massive struct defs everywhere. They are kinda needed when you’re running an entire OS as basically a set of interacting Linux processes pretending to be an OS.

At some point Cisco realized they could not compete without putting a Linux kernel as their base. So they basically just copy and pasted the old code written in the early 90s for the IOS and put it into a set Linux processes.

To be clear. It’s not just the front end. They didn’t really change the code much from the old IOS. Its a cluster fuck of interprocess communication hacks that probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

It is a massive pain in the ass to code because you’re basically doing everything on the Linux kernel and then frustratingly have to write the CLIs for IOS just so Cisco can continue to sell their proprietary OS with some of the most unnecessary hardware locks. Massive learning curve for any new engineer.

Literally, no one on the entire switching team knew how to send a message from a specific process to the IOS process. I had been assigned something that needed it. So I somehow figured it out and was “the guy” for that for the time I spent there.

Fuck. I’m gonna start ranting more if I go any further. But yeah, sometimes you need a massive struct because some idiot decided that forcing a closed source CLI on the market is a good idea for profits.

Definitely not a good idea for coding. But you learn quickly that no one actually cares about good code in this industry. There is no time for it. There is no reason for it. Just spit out garbage until it works and your manager won’t care.

If you want clean code. Go write an open source project or a personal project.
