That's because you didn't try our lord and savior SASS. Vanilla CSS should be illegal at this stage.

Oh yeah, for reference it's a moderately sized flat for a family of four in a French city.
My dad has more of a country house with the huge park and trees and small lake... and still she only really needs her phone and a chair. Go figure.

Same reason my wife wants at least 80m² of living space despite spending her time sitting on the corner of one chair looking at her phone : it feels nice to know you have it.

He got temp banned, not perma-banned, because bad words and opinions can change, apologies can be made. It's fixable.

JsonSchema is a way to validate some JSON. A great thing when you want to stop any sort of malformed data from coming in. Instead of wrecking your head in your code testing whether this bit here is not null, or is that string a valid boolean (I still remember that shitty piece of code they had, ugh!) or that bit is empty or that one is an actual number, or a string that can only have such and such value, well, you can formalise all this in one place, as a data file instead of code. Very convenient.

Except when it turns out you're using a JSON library that's not one, not two, but six major versions behind, and the security department won't greenlight you using anything recent because... fuck you, that's why. And to add insult to injury, we were the Quality department. Responsible for analysing the code quality of thousands of coders, around a hundred thousand programs (mostly COBOL but also C#), of a European banking group... The JSON schema was for adding a layer of non existant security to our API. But no, let's keep accepting shitty malformed JSON (because of course we kept receiving shitty JSON; that's why we wanted to implement this)

So I had to rewrite a lot of custom code to patch the bugs we found in the library, and none of the nifty tools that let you put in json and generate json schema would work for us. Heck, they even have JsonSchema to validate your JsonSchema but those wouldn't work either, so far behind our version was.

Fucking awesome experience. I'm glad it's behind me.

A fair point :D

And then you get a game like Brigadore where I actually spent in game money to unlock game lore. Absolutely no in game benefit, it was just that well written (imo) and I realised after a bit was hinting at good equipment combos.

What a wonderful smile. So cute! Cheers :)

I wouldn't* be surprised if she didn't drive. My wife has no conception of how difficult even just picking up someone can be, and demonstrate it time and again, standing on the other side of the road, or at a corner where I'll block all trafic if I stop.

Finding a sweet spot right in front of the place we wanna go would be like "well, yeah, you don't expect me to walk, do you?" for her, while I'd probably be as ecstatic as that poor guy.

I feel this in my bones. As an OG dev, I had this incredible urge to smack people when I was working for my last job and I saw the API specs with everything being sent as strings through JSON. Boolean? Sure, let's use a string. Integers? Sure we'll do conversion in our code, that'll be more efficient... So fucking infuriating. Oh and don't get me started on JsonSchema T_T

The pony question tells me he's never encountered a child in the wild. You think a kid isn't gonna correct you the second they know the difference?!
