The biggest reason for me is that it’s less data to send over a network. Especially when I’m working with lists of objects, including null fields can add a noticeable chunk to the payload.

There are some cases where it might be worth it to differentiate “No value” and “No attribute”, but in most cases they can be treated the same, since the data should really be validated against a schema anyway.

Yeah, I’m also confused. If an attribute is null, I would prefer to simply not serialize it.

I’m sure there are edge cases where someone might prefer to include null attributes, but generally they should be treated the same either way.

I say we ditch this nonsense altogether and go back to vague descriptions of the Sun’s position in the sky.

Likely, yep!

Could be, it’s been a while. Or maybe there’s been multiple sites.

I’ve actually seen a website that is exactly this.

Can’t remember the URL, but can confirm it exists (existed?) and it was an interesting website to read.

That used to be the case, back when Steam Sales were a chaotic feeding frenzy of discounts. These days it’s pretty much the same throughout.

In case anyone is curious - as I was - here’s the commercial: https://youtu.be/uTVlnehpRHQ

(Not the Toys R Us channel, in case you don’t want to give them direct views.)

Ngl I love programming assembly, that game seems right up my alley.

Hahaha I wish. There isn’t any real “management” to speak of where I’m at, and it’s a flat structure, meaning literally anyone can send me work and I’m just expected to do it. Right now I’m working the weekend to finish a task that someone else couldn’t do and it fell to me. There’s a ticketing system, but it’s only really half-used (of course, I myself turn these tasks into tickets, but that’s about it).

Trying to slowly change all this over time, because I love my job outside of this lack of management, but I also don’t hold any delusions about that.

I’m lucky to not have many meetings in my current dev job, but I get the same effect from having a dozen people a day asking for “quick” fixes for various bugs that are conveniently always more urgent than whatever big task I’m in the middle of.

Noita.

I’ve gotten the Greed ending once (defeating Kolmisilmä and “completing” The Work), but I’ve never even considered attempting the true ending.

Seems like OP is not familiar with fae mythology.

Love how they make this sound like some incredible feat. When you aren’t bound to license agreements, turns out it’s actually very easy to have a “massive” content library. Literally the only hurdle is storage space.

Because all the legal services are incredibly anti-consumer and are offering less services, with (more) ads, for more money every year.

Sounds like something I would do, ngl. You see “Vet” on your calendar, having a busy day, and end up swinging by on your way home from work or something.

Seems like it would take a confluence of stuff going on, but it seems plausible.

It’s like they took an ergonomics textbook and read it upside-down.

Haha literally what planet do they live on?

That was quite a segue into complaining about inflation.

Oh hey, I think I’m the guy from that post! Lol

Glad you’re enjoying it! I’ve been having a lot of fun with it too - even if my wife sometimes thinks I’m crazy when I “just quickly run over here” to check the hours for this place, haha.

My “Global Rank” is a bit over 5000, but I’m not sure if that’s the same number as you’re looking at, given the range. 400th in Canada, though!
