Well fun stuff (I hope), programming humor, word puns, etc.

Wailing

I was pissed with my neighbors for playing insanely loud music at all hours. The only mitigating factor was that it usually only lasted for about an hour. Then one day, they didn’t play music and I realized that 1) they’d probably had sex during all those previous incidents and 2) they are probably some kind of werewolves…

 

Rubber duck debugging

In software engineering, rubber duck debugging is a method of debugging code. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it, line-by-line, to the duck.

Although, I can’t really imagine that implementing this en masse in my current office landscape will gain much in the effect of not interrupting your colleagues… I imagine sales will step in and stop it before any larger customer can see us… ๐Ÿ˜€

Throwing a Chair off a Building

Thinking about the pragmatic side of film making:

Paris
A: The street has been closed to traffic because Jean Reno is going to throw a chair off that building.
B: I don’t care. I can jump out of the way.

Stockholm
A: The street has been closed to traffic because Stellan Skarsgรฅrd is going to throw a chair off that building.
B: Is that really safe?! Do you have permission to do that?!

Los Angeles
A: The street has been closed to traffic because Brad Pitt is going to throw a chair off that building.
B: Ooooh! Will he autograph it first?

Although the actual location is in fact Budapest. Oops! I hope they closed the street for traffic before Brad Pitt threw that chair off that building… ๐Ÿ˜€
