Conveniently you forgot to mention a short list of terrorist groups financed by Iran.

Here you go

1. Hezbollah (Lebanon) – Iran’s most heavily backed proxy; receives funding, weapons, and training. Operates militarily and politically in Lebanon; hostile to Israel.
2. Hamas (Gaza) – Though Sunni, Iran supports Hamas with weapons and funds due to shared anti-Israel stance.
3. Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Gaza/West Bank) – More directly aligned with Iran than Hamas; receives significant Iranian support.
4. Houthis (Ansar Allah, Yemen) – Iran supplies weapons, intelligence, and training to Houthis in their fight against the Saudi-led coalition.
5. Kata’ib Hezbollah (Iraq) – Iraqi Shi’a militia backed by Iran; part of the Popular Mobilization Forces; responsible for attacks on U.S. personnel.
6. Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq (Iraq) – Another Iran-backed Shi’a militia operating in Iraq; heavily involved in sectarian violence.
7. Harakat al-Nujaba (Iraq/Syria) – Shi’a militia supported by IRGC; operates in Iraq and Syria.
8. Fatemiyoun Division (Afghan Shi’a fighters) – Recruited and trained by Iran to fight in Syria.
9. Zeynabiyoun Brigade (Pakistani Shi’a fighters) – Similar to Fatemiyoun; deployed in Syria under Iranian command.

Revolutionary technologies of the '80 make me appreciate modern programming languages and especially tooling much more.

In general, ‘classes’ declarations were done with macro. I don’t remember the exact code — something akin to

BEGIN_CLASS(A, Parent);
CLASS_MEMBER(a...)
END_CLASS();

The project had started before C++ existed, and the switch would be too costly. It’s not just OOP part, also reflection mechanism with bindings to the homemade scripting language, and multi-platform UI library. It was a gem of its time.

I was working on a C code base with classes, inheritance, and polymorphism, all done by hands and macros.

Something like

typedef struct s_some_class {
    void (*method)(this *s_some_class);
} t_some_class;

Overall, learning C was the best enabler in my whole career. For instance I was learning Python by tinkering with CPython VM, so when I see these ‘WAT’ quircks I know exactly what’s up.

Elevator, all public transport, buildings. There’s more space outside. Stop cramping.

While working on Borderlands 3, the team was severely underpaid. People started quitting, so Randy promised them an “unprecedented company profit-sharing bonus model.” That never got paid—he blamed “higher-than-anticipated development costs and sales not meeting projections.” Borderlands 3 went GOTY, a few dozens millions copies sold. Randy secured a $12M executive bonus for himself. When staff expressed dissatisfaction, Pitchford told them they were free to quit. This was in the middle of the pandemic, and the job market was absolute crap.

This is my new busyness e-mail signature.

I volunteer in my free time so that more Russian occupiers will be eliminated. I’m very proud of myself.

Russia had no significant gains over the last years with half a million casualties (KIA, MIA, lost limbs, war prisoners), the logistics is crumbling — they use donkeys, the economy and demographic are in the toilet but Russia is extremely good at spreading propaganda. So much so that the US admin is parroting it and putting pressure on Ukraine.

Comfortably runs on electronic thermometer or pregnancy test.

Indeed, those are anti-tank mines, absolutely harmless to humans.
