    Witcher 3

    Yeah, I was pretty far into the game (maybe Novigrad?) until I realized I had been pulled in. It was a struggle for some reason up until that point.

    Because testing is **not OO design**. You're not bound by the same principles when it comes writing integration tests.

    I'm not sure why that's a terrible idea if you guys own the code. At least, for testing purposes.

    Well, can you create a scenario where a particular subclass should have done 'X' and then test for 'X'? Rather than just making sure it's been instantiated. I mean, even if it is that doesn't tell you it's actually doing its job, right?

    Late to the party, but just curious. Who is instantiating these subclasses? This doesn't make sense to me. The third party that's extending the abstract class has the responsibility of instantiating their subclassed parts. Unless this is some sort of extensibility that's been allowed by the...

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    Is this worth watching? Never heard of it, but love Chevy and Aykroyd. 5% on RT, though!

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

    Yeah, this was pretty good. Loved the artwork. Also, I kinda preferred the final costume WITH the hoodie, shorts, and Nikes.

    The Orville

    I mean, come on, we don't really have that many choices to be honest. Alara would be totally it if she was still part of the crew. Or, without a doubt, Mercer's brief love interest (Michaela McManus). The new security officer has an okay face but man those bow legs...

    Honestly, I think Penny is the most attractive female on the show. Granted, she's getting up their in age, but I find her prettier than Adrianne.

    Holy shit! Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about! So I guess Skynet won on Kaylon, eh?

    It's stories like this that make me realize I have it so damn easy. There is never any pressure to get stuff done within crazy time constraints. If I make a reasonable argument I can usually sway opinions. We've never had to "work over the weekend" to make sure a release gets out in time...

    Have you considered a Udemy course? https://www.udemy.com/complete-python-bootcamp/ I've really enjoyed their courses. They are often kept up to date and have a forum where you can ask the instructor questions. Right now they are having a sale, and the course I linked is only 12 bucks. You...

    I agree. I found myself wondering why they keep revisiting this? I got it -- Moclans are narrowminded faggots.

    The latest episode with them trying to explain the expense report for 16 margaritas was hilarious.

    Sounds boring to be brutally honest. But, hey, if it floats your boat (and pays the bills) then all the power to you.

    I only have experience in the Windows desktop world (C# and WPF) and web development with the Microsoft stack (ASP.NET WebForms, MVC, WebAPI), plus Angular and VueJs for client-side. So, having said that, what exactly does embedded development involve? I assume these are small'ish systems and...

    The Walking Dead

    Seriously, what's so fucking hard about getting decent writers and actually plan out a season with some cohesiveness? They have a ton of material to drawn upon -- whether from the comics directly or from the genre itself (books, movies, etc.). It's like one person is calling all the shots and...

    The Walking Dead

    One of the things that killed the show, besides being fucking boring, is that they've added way too many characters. During the 'at war' story arc, some of the gun battle scenes were so confusing I couldn't tell who was who. Did one of the good guys just get shot? Fuck if I know. The show...

    if you like Java then you'll love C# and the newer .NET Core framework. Total pleasure to work with.

    Yes, I'm digging the Bladerunner-esque Tokyo. I did and yes it's similar in a way. Creepy atmosphere and all.

    What a shame. For a short while this was my favorite Sunday night series. Really excellent action choreography. I don't get why this wasn't more popular.

    Origin

    Did anyone watch this? Came out back in November '18. I hadn't heard of it until recently when I saw it in a YouTube recommendation. The first episode was pretty decent. Very good atmosphere. Space scenes feel like Event Horizon and the Earth flashbacks like Bladerunner. Also, didn't...

    And, on another topic, does anyone else have a developer on their team that just loves creating their own custom solutions to common problems? Case in point, we needed a logging mechanism for our software and one of the developers decided to just make his own. Stuff like this irriates the hell...

    Where I work our engineers are given titles of "Junior Software Developer" and "Software Engineer I-IV". Is anyone else like that or similar? And, if so, how does one graduate from one title to another? So far, for us, it seems as if you're hired at a particular rank and are forever stuck...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    Maybe it's because I gorged myself on DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, and Quake during the 90s, but I have zero interest in these competitive FPS games. I still enjoy a good single player campaign, though.

    Yes, this was a great episode. Every bit as good as TNG's In Theory.
