GUI's gotta be doing it for some .DLL

hat he wrote.
And then he complains that everyone else does that. No, I've already said like three times, that any reasonable way you interpret what he said, he's wrong
We all know how Blakeyrat rolls. And yet you're the only one who is claiming he is wrong.

As a cat, you're biased talking about a rat

YMBNH. He loves to argue. I've already said like 83 times why I'm right that he's wrong, so go back up and read this thread again until you understand.

Nope. I've been around for years. I already said we all know how Blakeyrat rolls. But once again your reading comprehension fails. Yeah Blakeyrat likes to argue, but why do you need to invent something he "said" to get one over on him?

I'm 99.9% sure Linux works the same way. A GUI program is no different than a CLI program, except the GUI one opens windows and the CLI one does not. Given it was ages ago, but I clearly remember running Linux apps that could do either mode in a single executable.
The difference is that Unix doesn't have the notion of a console as its own separate kind of window. Programs don't send output specifically to a console, and there's no notion of building things "as a console application". Instead, any application can just write to file handles 1 (standard output) and/or 2 (standard error) and let the OS decide where all that stuff ends up.
It's quite common for Unix programs designed primarily as GUI applications to write endless amounts of debug/logging spew to stderr as a matter of course. When such a program is launched from a typical desktop environment, the desktop launcher typically just fails to specify what the standard handles are connected to and they all go to /dev/null by default. That way, debug output (generally of use only to devs, not end users) is suppressed. If you want to see it, you can either open a terminal and launch the program from there, or you can make a modified desktop launcher that redirects standard I/O in any way you want (takes about as much effort as modifying a Windows shortcut).

Speaking as a sysadmin: bane of my fucking existence. If you design such a thing into your product, I will fight you.

I have no clue how C# DLL is different from normal dll. You can allocate/attach console any time, including from inside a dll. Then you can use
_cprintf
to write to it. It is actually quite helpful trick if the dll is some extension you want to debug.

Geez, you really can't read.

I declared that we're already at our variants-of-James capacity, so his name is now Bruce.
At my work we have a Robert, a Rob and a Bob. Given there are only about 25 of us, it suggests some bias when recruiting or something. Or a statistical fluke, who knows?
<Inb4 cool story, bro

I read something somewhere about a correlation between rare surnames and professional success. People have a bias against simple-looking names.
None of the top 10 executives in the company here have a surname shared by more than 3 people here, and there is a thousand people here.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever worked with someone else with my surname, except when working for my brother. My first name is also French and so slightly exotic sounding. Might explain why I tend to do well at job hunting
Edit: noticed who I'm replying to so quoted the fucker

we seem to have a habit of hiting someone with the same first name as departed colleagues.
J was a DBA here that got fired for having a big mouth, a couple of months later J (different last name) was hired as a Junior Dev
S was a manager who was hired after S (different last name) got headhunted away to IBM, he recently quit to go back to being a developer, and we hired S (different spelling, same pronunciation) as a replacement
A left for Blue Cross/Blue Shield a couple of months ago and we just hired A as an editor
... yeah. that never gets confusing.

I've worked with two different Aragorns.
Both old enough that they were named long before the movie came out.
A left for Blue Cross/Blue Shield a couple of months ago
So they just want a comfortable place to grow old and die?

/shrug
no clue. maybe they were using it as a haven job while they searched for something better?
maybe they wanted really cheap health insurance for some reason?
maybe they were just sick and tired of working with T, T (different name same initial) and T(same name as the first T but refuses to answer to it, preferring to be called "hooker" for reasons he has never explained)

When I first started working at my current job, we had 3 Steves out of 12 people in my office, and another Steve in a different office.

Before your time, I guess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._J._Hooker

No, it's Will Shatner.Yes.

Oh Jesus, you've never seen TJ Hooker? Goddamned. It's amazing.
It's Shatner at his Shatner-est.
-
I don't think I've ever actually watched it, although I knew about it at the time.
It's Shatner at his Shatner-est.
Even more so than in Boston Legal or that Tales From the Crypt-like show he used to do?

#Denny Crane!!!

Actually my favorite Shatner is Kingdom of the Spiders. But not a lot of people have seen that one.

The name is from a book published in 1954Oh wait, this is Blakeyrat...
You dumbfuck, the name is from a book published in 1954.

I highly doubt he's ignorant of that. He's just being hipster: "I knew people named that before it was cool to say you knew the story before it was cool."

At a previous company there were about 25 people. And 5 Daves. Our count went down as the company grew.

We've got a guy at work called Gui, now my brain struggles to parse ‘GUI’ correctly.

Awwww... At least Jaime is my actual name, as opposed to those James' that like my name so much that they ask their friends to use it instead of their real name.My high school had 3 jennifers or something out of ~60 girls total, so I suggested prefixing their names with numbers.
I dated a Jennifer that took the nickname "Nif". Their solution to the "three Jennifers problem" was that one gets "Jen", one gets "Nif" and one gets "Fer".
-
At least Jaime is my actual name
To be fair, of all the Jims, James', and Jimmys I know, I don't know another Jaime besides you.
I'm married to a James, son of a James, son of a James; my stepfather is James as well. And that's before we get into coworkers, friends, and various internet people.
-
No one does. It peaked at #169 a few years after I was born. It's down to nearly the 1000th most popular name now.
However, Jaime comes before James alphabetically. So, every time someone looks for a James that goes by Jamie in the corporate address book, they find me first and think it's him. I very a very popular last name - which is probably why my mother chose an unusual first name.

I met another Jaime, and I hate him. You're my favorite Jaime already.
