throwaway889900··on Ask HN: What do you have for breakfast?
Sandwich.

I've managed to piss off my coworker by eating the same thing for lunch every day for several years though, so that's good. Sandwich, yogurt, and some tangerines.

throwaway889900··on Ask HN: Do you like the hyper-minimalist blogs posted on this site?
I'm fine with it. I'm not fine with a surprising number of blogs being left-aligned and capped to a width of like 4 pixels on a 27" monitor.

Talalay latex pillow. Memory foam sucks in comparison.
throwaway889900··on Ask HN: Anyone in the Demoscene?
Nah, but browsing pouet.net is fun from time to time. I think I kinda got into it seeing some game dev from xra_ on Twitch for Memory of a Broken Dimension.

My experience has been "Get stuck, avoid the senior engineer because they have no bloody clue what's going on and talking to them actively makes things worse for months afterwards".
throwaway889900··on In defense of complicated programming languages
Subclass Dog into MyDog, which is exactly the same as Dog. From there, use and modify MyDog as though you would be modifying Dog. Any class that references base class Dog isn't modifiable, but any future work you can use MyDog instances to get all the functionality you need (with some ugly casting). There are other solutions as well.
