Thanks, friend, you too. And remember, best ideas win… unless you happen to know what you’re doing.

As a fellow Unity employee, I feel that right down to my bones. If the job market for software devs didn’t suck so hard, I would have left a while ago. Compartmentalization is the only coping mechanism I have to keep myself going.

That little baby needs kisses on the head and rubs on the belly.

Well, I dye my hair red and purple, so that’s gotta count for something.

Don’t forget the perk of forcing others to license the technology if they want to use it themselves.

And on their way out, they would intentionally knock something else into the fiery pit just to spite you.

I think French Toast is a great name for the little guy

In my case, I use a PCI card with an m.2 slot for my OS drive. I lose a PCI slot, but I already had a few to spare.

I use a 1tb ssd for the os/apps with my raid5 strictly for storage. Kinda nice if the os needs to be reinstalled or I want to migrate the raid cluster.

As mentioned by others, he “retired” a few months ago, but he’s not the only one at fault. Many of the other executives contributed to the terrible decision making that landed the company in its current situation and they need to be cut loose as well.

You misunderstand, we’re in the mirror universe.

Maybe you should think a little more about the shareholders and little less about yourself. /s

That one brain cell realizing mistakes were made.

I’m sure the Nintendo lawyers are furiously working on the C&D as we speak.

When I have no choice but to interact with people, I do my best to treat them with respect. However, I would say I’m generally ambivalent toward people overall and do my best to avoid them. I’m just not a social person and I never will be. Being forced into social settings is exceptionally stressful to me.

Listen, give him a break. That one brain cell can do only so much.

Good point, that is a valid way to do it sometimes, but it’s extremely situational and trying to do that for everything would be absolute nonsense.

I can understand telling you not to use break and continue if the point is to teach you to think about different ways to solve problems, but saying it’s because “it makes the code harder to read” is bullshit. Readable code flow is important, but if using those makes your code too hard to read, your problem is most likely that you’ve just written shitty code.

To get really into the technical weeds, what break and continue boil down to in the compiled machine code is a non-conditional branch instruction. This is just going to move the execution pointer to a different location in memory. Other keywords, such as if, elif, and else, will compile down to conditional branch instructions. Basically the same thing, but they have the added cost of having to evaluate some data to see if the branch should happen at all. You can achieve the same things with both, but the high level code might need to look different.

For instance, if you’re in a loop, continue will let you skip the rest of the code in the loop to get to the next iteration. Not a huge deal to instead make the entire code block conditional to skip it. However, the break keyword will let you exit the loop at any point, which is more complicated to deal with. You would have to conditionalize your code block and force the looping condition to something that would stop it on the next iteration. If you ask me, that has the potential to be much more complicated than necessary.

Also, good luck using switch without any breaks, but I’m guessing that’s not quite what your teacher had in mind.

In short, just go with it for now. Be creative and find a way to make it work to your teacher’s liking, but always try to be aware of different ways you can accomplish a task. Also, I don’t know what language you’re using, but if you’re in C/C++ or C# and you feel like getting really cheeky, it doesn’t sound like she disallowed the use of goto. It’s kinda like break with fewer safeguards, so it’s super easy to write broken code with it.

That’s it exactly. In addition to over-hiring during COVID, the massive spending spree from a ton of over-inflated, short-sighted acquisitions ever since the IPO absolutely demolished the company’s budget. Cutting Weta Digital was only the tip of this latest iceberg.

Damn near everything in Nier Gestalt/Replicant. That game wrecks me every time I play it.
