    Oh shit, that was meant to be a dm.

    Never mind. Own it. Own it.

    Yeah, I’ve got nothing to be ashamed of… No, no, that’s not always true, post-nut clarity and all that.

    Er, we all have needs, and sometimes… No, no, that’s a bit entitled.

    A mouth’s a mouth, and what two consenting adults get up to in their garden shed is of no concern to anyone. Yeah.

    Just as long as its out of view of the window so Mrs Stephenson next door doesn’t get a bit of a surprise when she weeds the rose bed.




  • Probably get ants though.

    You have saved me from all kinds of trouble with your sensible warnings. I did not think this through well enough.

    If I might trouble you further, o wise one, how about up against the shed wall, each in a pair of welly boots, standing in a paddling pool half full of water?



  • Thanks for explaining more. I feel like I blundered about a bit in the topic, but you graciously took the time to share your perspective with me and I got a window into another life. In the sea of memes and politics, there was a little nugget of human reality that I got to share in. Thank you. I hope you have a long and very happy life.






  • Nah, zendesk should absolutely have recognised that gaining unauthorised read access to support ticket email chains is a massive security issue. Firstly “support email chains” accounts for proportionately nearly all the data zendesk is handling, so a vulnerability there is core to the product, not at all peripheral, and secondly, who on earth is working in tech today that doesn’t know that your email is they key to all your online accounts?

    Zendesk here were blatantly either stupid or in denial and treated a bug reporter as a low life enemy instead of an asset. The kid did right by any plausible moral viewpoint.

    Indeed, indeed.

    No need to apologise for posting c++ in the channel. The programming world owes a lot to Prof. Stroustrup. I enjoyed your reply a great deal.

    You have two choices: firstly, a regular regular attribute, where you can Suckable myThing; and myThing.CheckAndSuck; etc to your heart’s content, and indeed no global variables are being sucked.

    But you can also declare static bool unsucked; and what is a class variable if not a global variable by another name?

    In fact, what is to stop your innocent-sounding accessor method from nuking the filesystem or calling memLeak.recurse();?

    I’m not sure that these things keep you up at night, but you have my sympathy if they do.

    If there was anything I could do to help you relax after a stressful day of multiple inheritance and manual memory management, I would.

    Well, except that of course. I mean, we all draw the line somewhere.

    Unless we’ve had too much to drink or smoked too much weed, in which case boundaries seem less important at the time.

    One time in college, my friend…

    but no, that’s another story for another thread.
