It's made up of two parts, disco and "rd". We all know how that era ended, and the last part must mean something offensive in their vocabulary. Who did not see that coming?
 
Don't even get me started on bit chat.

Far from a MAGA voter, but there were exploding pagers not long ago...

Bu Tan?
No, boot Holthaus.

No worries, I'll see myself out.

...and all it takes is one unsuspecting aide to read her boss's email, for Trump to spread the rumor that foreign agents have stolen his wig[sic]win yet again.

If all you know is a minimal subset of the language, you don't know the language. What you describe may be ok for a toy app you write on your own time and never need to support or put to serious use, but not for anything approaching actual development. What you describe is hacking, not developing.

And outside of a masters degree course somewhere, where has that ever been a thing? Formal proving of programs isn't something done anywhere. Even then its utility is dubious- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." - Donald Knuth

I don't know what you were doing, but having to use reflection is generally considered a code smell, if not outright banned in most code bases. Generally its only accepted in serialization libraries. If that's what you got out of working in Java, it sounds more like you were doing it wrong.

In 45 years of living and eating at cheap restaurants, I've never had this problem when going to one in the United States. Or any other country where English was the native language. Why? Because they may hire non-english speakers in the back for kitchens, dishwasher, etc they make sure cashiers and waiters speak english, and they talk to the people in back. So it's an utter non-issue. It may have niche usecases in places with large international tourist crowds, but even then you generally need to tell speech recognition the input language for real time translation.

But if you go to that town in a remote island in Japan...

How were you able to have a profile here? On Slashdot? Not many people are familiar with the poligraph portion of the sign up process, you must have clicked on the "Accept" button without reading.

At least it's not cyber or that other relic, forward slash.

This is a serious question.

Well, at least it will bring him to his knees ( as a roofer)

I also downloaded DOOM shareware, and life was never the same
