    I have done so few productive things today.

    Although I did go for a run.

    The thing is it is like the most basic test of ability.

    Like getting an artist to draw a cube with perspective.

    And so many people fail. I watched so many terrible interviews. We used to put the most spectacular failed tests up on a wall.

    Like on the surface of it I'm wondering why the hell an entity like Slenderman who obviously has so much control over everything wants others to know its out there because apparently it can make people forget so why not just make the MH dude forget already but then I'm like 'duh because it isn't real' but then it still doesn't make sense in universe.

    Fizzbuzz is a "classic" interview question (that nobody actually gets exposed to in real life). It goes like this:

    Count from 1 to 100. If the number is divisible by 3, print "fizz" instead of the number. If divisible by 5, print "buzz" instead. If divisible by 3 and 5, print "fizzbuzz".

    It's pretty much a "weed out the impostors" question.

    I'm trying to picture that.

    I can't. I fail at bad programming. Halp.

    If the function is held in a variable then that's like a five line function

    That game was on my favorite radio show this season. :D But one of the dimmer characters said it was too hard and decided to change it to saying "fizz" on every even number and "buzz" on every odd.

    a lady was drowning at the pool, so i applied PCR

    she still died, but there were many of her

    First you heated the pool to 90 degrees celsius for five minutes, then allowed it to cool to 65 for thirty seconds, then heated to 72 for one minute, then you heated it up to 95 for thirty more seconds, and then you went back to step two and repeated the process thirty four more times.

    No.

    PHP is bad.

    All of the programmers at my PHP job mocked it relentlessly and were trying to convince management to let them re-write the system in something else.

    Apparently it was "too expensive"

    NO PRICE IS TOO GREAT FOR BEAUTIFUL CODE!

    You run the risk of developing something that requires a really specific setup and maintenance. The beauty of PHP is that it's practically 0 config and most hosting situations can handle it so long as you're not crazy and working with real niche thing.

    Ruby, at least in the past, was less so. ASP is like asking to gouge on your eyes, and then there's loljava :rotate:

    Real web developers use compiled c via cgi.

    I've got a Control Wizard or whatever it's called.

    She's been made but hasn't entered the world yet.

    I am all about the debuffs and subtle things, so it seems perfect for me. I am not a super actiony person, I am a "do weird shit and stuff to them" person. Like most RPGs piss me off because poisoning your opponent and applying debuffs doesn't work on bosses.

    So yeah, control wizard.
