the continual failures are getting a bit exasperating,
otmfm, it wd be nice to see the plot progress just a little w/o the excruciating tension of constant and often improbable fuckups

I was wracked with nervousness this week because I expected everything to turn terrible again before the end and they were running out of time
So now I feel worried about how soon Richard will fuck things up as CEO next week
mike judge may secretly be my favorite comedy creator. i am wondering how hands on he is on an episode by episode basis
iirc from a radio interview, he is in the room for breaking story, then goes back to Austin for the writing & pre-production periods, flying in for the weeks he directs episodes

that sounds about right. the bones are solid but the post milch hbo method of kick the can forward first, creator's great plan second means that these shows are uneven in terms of character development even tho' they maintain flavori dunno if that's a criticism; it's amazing they have such a high batting average

Tbh, this is pretty much the theme of so much good TV these days. "The Excruciating Tension of Constant and Often Improbable Fuckups" is like a subgenre unto itself.

Zach Woods nailed the response, too. Small moment, but maybe the funniest thing the show has done
― Evan R, Tuesday, 31 May 2016 00:18 (eight years ago) link
a lot of this show's best moments are small things w/ delivery and brief asides that you can miss if you blink too quickly. the plot's constant motion is a plus, IMO, for delivering this kind of stuff

he seems so sad + damaged :(
― Mordy, Tuesday, 31 May 2016 19:08 (eight years ago) link
damaged yes, but sad? no. he is consistently the most optimistic character on the show.

but in a v sad way - or maybe he's not sad but he makes me feel sad

lol true
― balls, Tuesday, 31 May 2016 19:32 (eight years ago) link
not really. theoretically i like the idea of using a tab and letting the editor decide, but in practice it doesn't work out so nicely. take the following example where tabs are used to set the indentation level and spaces for alignment; when changing the tabsize from 4 to 2, we get misaligned code:
1 int f(int x, 1 int f(int x, 2 --->..int y) { 2 ->..int y) { 3 --->return g(x, 3 ->return g(x, 4 --->--->--->.y); 4 ->->->.y); 5 } 5 }
also lol at the show for bring this so-called "holy war" to the mainstream, i've already gotten texts from non-programmers asking which i side with
― bitcoin bajas (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 19:55 (eight years ago) link
The answer is to not change the tab size (4 spaces forever!). And don't bother with newlines in an argument list when your variables are single-character.
― nickn, Tuesday, 31 May 2016 20:29 (eight years ago) link
TABS
― μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 21:14 (eight years ago) link
if you have a whitespace aligned language then spaces are the only choice. this is important.

Massive blooper in the episode was that using space characters doesn't mean you keep whacking the space bar over and over. You set up your editor/IDE so that the tab key produces 4 spaces. Total credibility fail.

uh yeah but if you were trying to clown someone who hates spaces you would do exactly that
