@sloosecannon What is a "target permanent you control"?
A Creature, Artifact, Enchantment, Land, or Planeswalker, or any combination thereof.
Basically, anything that's not an Emblem or an Instant or Sorcery spell.

It's a useful card, cause you can do something like give your opponent an Abyssal Persecutor or something and make them unable to win.

Nitpicking: you forgot about the counters and imprinted cards - these are not counted as permanent but "in battlefield".
And there are "token" types that could be counted as permanent.

I'll go more aggressive to go with the original combo that donate something like the enchartment that "When comes into play, you gain 20 lifes. If it leaves play, you lose 20 lifes. When it comes into play, put 5 counters on it. On each upkeep, remove one counter or sacrifice the enchartment."
A 5 turn countdown to win.

It had cumulative upkeep 2, actually.

@Maciejasjmj Oh, I mixed up the memory of those Parallax cards.

Out of curiosity, I looked up MUMPS (yes, that one)
Is M cool? Can I write mobile apps with it?
Yes and yes.
Once you have learned the basic techniques of M programming, you can check EWD, the Enterprise Web Development environment, and start interacting with M database applications from mobile devices, including both iOS and Android
I’m into NoSQL databases. Why should I care about M?
Because M is a NoSQL database. M is indeed a language that has integrated a database engine to store data persistently. M existed well before SQL was around. And M is also a highly scalable and reliable database system.
It is quite likely that your payroll and your bank account are being managed by an M database.
Truly ahead of it's time.

Treating version numbers as strings. Oops.
-
@dcon Turns out to be wrong output: there was a local version installed that would override the global and was too old. But it was reporting the version of the globally installed version that I'd just updated.

@Yamikuronue That sounds a "little" better. Just a reporting issue as opposed to a parsing issue...

It's amazing how little thought goes into authoring something like this.
someList.Add(new SomeRecordType { CustomerName = otherList[otherList.Count - 1].CustomerName, Address1 = otherList[otherList.Count - 1].Address1, City = otherList[otherList.Count - 1].City, ...
(formatting preserved, btw)
There are ~50 properties done this way. It's always the last item, referenced by [count-1].

I just had to debug why a specific mission wasn't spawning any extra enemies in onslaught mode.
Turns out the "you've finished this mission" area had 2% of the volume of all living humans on Earth and there was another much smaller trigger that turned on the big one.

Because they couldn't do
var newRecordTypeWhatever = otherList[otherList.Count -1];
before all that BS with making an anonymous type?

@Tsaukpaetra it's not anon and it's a different class but yeah, get the reference once instead of all the copypasta.

Windows 10 really really does not like me copying files! Tried twice, it hung! then opened command prompt and copied the files

Did it start copying, or did it get stuck scanning folders? Once in a while, Explorer gets stuck gathering metadata and streams info to make sure that the source and target destinations are compatible or something.

I'd also refactor that out into a constructor taking whatever type
otherList
stores.someList.Add(new SomeRecordType( otherList[otherList.Count - 1] ) );

I've run into this as well on my linux box, in cases where the source of the copy was a lot of small files. It first determines how much data it needs to copy, which takes as much time as the copy itself.
Extracting archives has a similar problem where I think it first extracts all data and then needs to fix all timestamps, and somehow the command line program doesn't have that problem.

I don't think this is worthy of a thread of its own, so here we go.
I'm a web developer. I need to use the internet for things. At random points throughout the day for the past year, however, the entire office loses its connection to the outside world. Fixing this is apparently not a priority.
Fast forward to today. I and another dev independently confirm that the problem is located within the building. When we lose internet access, we also lose access to local resources. You might think this would vastly cut down the search space but you would be wrong. Network Operations continues researching the issue and is unlikely to resolve it while I am still employed here.

@sp_ Sounds like a rogue DHCP server, or your main internet-facing router keeps getting compromised.

@Tsaukpaetra I would be unsurprised if one or both of those were the case.

No, that's what I mean: the sentence fragment leaves me asking "What the hell is the missing main clause?! Oh god, is it death? It's death isn't it."

That is not a mere phrase. It has both a subject and a predicate; thus, it is at least a clause and, depending on punctuation, could be a full sentence.

Google has been said to take care to only hire smart people, but apparently it is no longer true. If it was ever true in the first place, that is, which I seriously doubt since I've seen their "C++" coding guidelines that prohibit half of what makes C++ actually useful.

@Bulb For some definition of 'smart'. Usually the people that think the same way. People that can answer specific technical questions in the specific smart way.
Same reason I'm technically eligible for Mensa but not a member, I don't need to be told by other 'smart' people that I'm 'smart like them' because that's very unidimensional.

In fact, when it comes to inodes, I was taught roughly the same in class: The inode is not the index in the file table (that's allegedly the "inode number"), the inode is the file table entry itself.
Well, according to my teachers of the day at least. And according to Wikipedia too.
Edit: However, the Google guy is definitely wrong about signals. And everything that follows.
