WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS FALSE, STUPID JAVASCRIPT!?
oh...
Right. I'm an idiot.
I've found that working in both JavaScript and C# is tough because C# behaves exactly as you'd expect it to, and JS has similar syntax, but works exactly the opposite way.

Status: enjoying an afternoon at home, alone, for the last time before a week-long trip with family which very well might drive me insane.
Also I seem to have broken Steam's card trading database. Every time I try to execute a trade on George Washington (Civ V), the page locks up. EDIT: nope, it happens on other cards too. Guess Valve's servers are just fucked-up, YET AGAIN.

That's where I hope to be in about 3 threads.

Status: Currently bored at work. Got in a good first half of the day of productive work, then my boss and the PM left to run errands and pick up lunch, then I finished my work and got left with nothing else.
Just spent the last hour talking with co-workers, and still waiting for lunch. Only 4 hours left before my weekend starts.

Wait, does that do what you want it to in C#? It shouldn't.

It's tricky, because I wouldn't want to do that.

If you had three booleans and you compared them like this:
x == y == z
would you get the same result as
x == y && y == z
?
-
I think you're missing my point, even though your point is still valid.
-
I understand that you would never write
x == y == z
, but I'm curious about how C# handles that expression.

Ok, that's what I had hoped.

[i]The Descent 2[/i] has just the worst ending ever. I'm going to pretend the last five minutes didn't happen.

my boss and the PM left to run errands
Status: Boss and PM came back, had lunch, and found out what the errands being run were. The junior dev got a laptop (as he's needed a beefier one to be able to work remotely) and I got a new TV (because I'd brought up that a TV I have has a line going down it now).

I heard that it was pretty bad, so I haven't bothered. The first one wasn't that great, but it had that one moment that made it worth it.

Sounds like a job for a cast. (int) (x == y) == z maybe?
-

Must be nice. My stupid machine continues to be reliable even in its dotage.

Or just write it the way that @ben_lubar did.
x == y && x == z

What? And shave off my hipster beard?

I see no downsides to that.
Actually, I have a fairly standard techie Gordon Freeman beard. So I could partially shave it into a van Dyke.

There is no bottom in infiniscroll. There might be an end to the content. But there is NO BOTTEM!

Status: Bought Space Engineers.
Looking to recover from a day of hard "being everybody's boss because all the actual bosses were on vacation", simultaneously running out of disk space on every server (I cleared 1200gb aka many tens of thousands of dollars worth of utter garbage today), and providing increasingly sarcastic and vitriolic status reports to the VP who made half our staff stay until 2AM last night to complete a fucked up job for a plant that isn't even open until Monday.
We worked today, and we work Friday. There was no need whatsoever to work everyone to death overnight. And the fucked-upness is entirely due to the fact that the thing is insanely complex at 200+ man hours, they dropped the insanely complex thing in through the 'zero compelxity 1 hour turn' workload chute, and they waited to do it until the day it had to be in manufacturing. Naturally this is somehow our problem and everybody's Christmas vacations got cancelled except management. And manufacturing. And manufacturing management. And the idiots who sat on the problem until the day it was due in manufacturing. And the idiots who did the same thing last year. I should post a thread.

It's the central problem of big business (and big government): people who make decisions don't have to deal with the implementation of those decisions, and they don't have to deal with the consequences either.

Status:
Annoyed at Steam for the "pending trade request" that is effectively cancelled (because the item offered was traded) but cannot be explicitly cancelled, so it's keeping the "hey you got something to look at" icon lit up:

I should post a thread.
this should be front page material if this executive summary is any indication

so it's keeping the "hey you got something to look at" icon lit up:

Status: debating whether to take up KSP as an outlet for my hypersimulationist tendencies.
Status: Bought KSP for my son for Christmas, late this evening because crappy motel WiFi was a barrier to loading the KSP store page.
Tip: Motel 6 in Albany, OR, has good (free) WiFi. Some other Motel 6s, not so much good (and not so much free). Insufficient data to determine whether this is true in general, but of the 3 Motel 6s I've stayed in during this trip, the two that charged for WiFi, it was all but unusable; the one that offered it free, it works great.

the idea of having 2-3 weeks off at the end of the year like some people do is nice.
Honestly, I'd rather not have two weeks of at the end of the year. My company usually shuts down during the Christmas/New Year weeks. I'd like the flexibility to be able to take some during the year, rather than facing the choice between saving most of my vacation for the end of the year, or taking vacation during the year and having to take those weeks off without pay. I'd probably take most of my vacation then anyway, for family reasons, but I'd like to do so by choice rather than company policy.
