I'm kinda surprised you chose C# as:

A. Radically different from java
and
B. "Fine for small projects"

I code for work in C#, and for fun in either python or whatever is topical to the project.

I used to code for work in python, and for fun in C#, and before that any mixture of java, C, assembly, and scripty-fu-fu suited my professors.

This would be good for performing measurements on objects you wouldn't want to get that close to. Like nuclear reactors.

Some sort of mega-all-in-one SCM, IDE, build tool, project management software nightmare?

Honestly, I think developers on big teams have it easier. Part of my job is to do some of the less exciting operational stuff so that they can spend more time coding. (We unfortunately lump in the build process with coding, even though it's not that sexy.)

No, just a personal impression how much my work computer sucks these days.

Everything persisted, including page file, going through a virtual drive that has a cryptographic algorithm applied both directions is slow as hell.

"At this point, we are highly confident of being able to land successfully on a floating launch pad or back at the launch site and refly the rocket with no required refurbishment. However, our next couple launches are for very high velocity geostationary satellite missions, which don’t allow enough residual propellant for landing. In the longer term, missions like that will fly on Falcon Heavy, but until then Falcon 9 will need to fly in expendable mode."

Landing on a floating platform would be so crazy-awesome I can't even stand it! NASA should really stop wasting its time with its outdated SRB shiz.

Well, I'm sure it cost at least a little more than doing just what they were contracted to do. It's just that we haven't gotten to the point of taking space launches for granted yet.

When we do, some middle manager will whine endlessly about this sort of experimentation.

I just want to add: not that I think there isn't a problem with the attitude that men can't be raped. I just don't see how it has anything to do with this thread of discussion.

I don't understand your point. The citation was for a statistic on the percent of women being raped.

Are you asserting that as many men are being raped as women? Or what are you asserting? Even if that is your assertion, it's beside the point.

Dude, those are not okay either.

Why do you defend some *obviously* not-okay things by giving examples of other *obviously* not-okay things?

Wait...what the fuck are you talking about?

No, it isn't redundant -- they are orthogonal.

Cis is about what sex you view yourself as, relative to what one might have guessed at birth.

Straight is about what sex you are interested in, relative to what sex you view yourself as.

a Senator who might actually do good for the general public for once and not solely for a limited cadre of corporations? no, there's no way someone like that won't make it far in DC!

You've got a mistake here.

Polygraphs aren't "baseless pseudoscience"

They're "Extremely unreliable devices based on a mixture of pseudoscientific assumptions and real biometrics". And the CIA isn't a court of law. They're aren't interested in finding the truth beyond a reasonable doubt. They're interested in pressuring you to tell them everything you can.

Why does it matter what direction the fuckwad-*ist direction goes? What relevance does it have to anything?

(Also you'll find social justice people defending basically all the other things you listed, except that's the first time I've ever encountered the term "swole" and honestly, anti-redhead sentiment is just not nearly as high as say, anti-trans sentiment like you were ridiculing)
