I was guilty of that very thing once. During my first programming class back in college, I wrote an Asteroids clone as a project. My professor kept sending it back telling me to fix it. I really racked my brain trying to figure out what he was sending back to me (he wouldn’t tell me, I was supposed to find and correct the error). The game ran just fine. Finally a gave up and asked him to tell me the answer of what my code was doing wrong. He showed me that I had one line of code that was basically making a new instance of the entire game for every screen refresh. (I wrote it in Java, so Java was just correcting it for me in real time.)

It’s funny to me to see people mythologize how perfect video games were before they could be remotely updated.
Sure, game developers rely on fix-it-later updates much more than they should today, but games had bugs back then too.

With the exception of the spending bill, everything that’s been done by this administration has been done by executive order. The real problem is that the administration ran off all the skilled and knowledgeable workers.

Last week I decided to test Lemmy out. Best thing I can say about it is that it’s not any worse than all the others. Which is a pretty good compliment really, considering the resources and network advantages that all the others have.

12·9 days agoI’m aware of that case, and if you read the language of the bill it doesn’t address that situation very well.
That case is a weird one because I actually think both sides, the student and the graduate assistant grader, were wrong. And ultimately I think the GA was more wrong because the GA held the position of authority in the situation. I generally think that those in authority should be held to more strict standards.
In that specific case that you, there was a very clear scoring rubric published that the GA was supposed to follow. (You can find the rubric published online.) There is no possible way a rational person could read the grading rubric and conclude the student deserved a 0. Yes, it was a very stupidly written essay, but it wasn’t a zero -not if you follow the published rubric. The student was given a zero only because of religious discrimination. The grader should have followed the rubric. If the grader has followed the rubric then the student still would have likely failed the assignment, but the grader would have been able to justify the grade and would probably have avoided getting disciplined.
That’s my position on that. I’m sure you disagree and believe the student was 100% at fault.

22·9 days agoGuys, come on. How do y’all not know the conservative’s playbook by now? They only have two plays.
- They do really evil shit.
- They do rage bait shit.
When they do evil shit they don’t hide it under 15 levels of riddles. They really aren’t smart people. Their really evil shit stuff is like “Here’s $300 billion for concentration camps with gas chambers.” They don’t hide it.
But every single time you guys always reliably fall for their rage bait shit. Every time. They could whisper “God” and your guys lose your minds. Every time. Like clockwork.

33·9 days agoActually if you really read the bill most of the additions are concerning protecting political speech, not religious speech (which was already protected).
So if it’s anything more than a political social media bait, then it’s about ensuring conservative kids can praise Trump, not God. (But really, it’s just bait that you guys are happy to swallow.)

Not saying that’s not possible in Florida, but if that’s the case then they didn’t really need to pass a new law anyway, did they?
