Jared's "stuffed animal"

― Οὖτις

this was so great, i think jared's my favorite character. loved that russ was right - this guy fucks.

he seems so sad + damaged :(

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

this episode made me think about how sad it must be to a be a single woman in silicon valley

think you can strike "single" from that

lol true

He is right about the tabs vs spaces thing. though.

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

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.

TABS

if you have a whitespace aligned language then spaces are the only choice. this is important.

Can't decide if Jared or Bighead is the best character.

Probably Jared.

Definitely Jared.

legit

baghead 4 life

lost it at the PR with a code of conduct

i liked the (accurate) detail of it blowing a gale outside alcatraz for the hawaii party

making alcatraz not look like a jail, combined with going insolvent, a++

All the alcatraz stuff was v accurate

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

She wasn't intentionally clowning him at first though? Maybe I missed something.

have we officially hit the point where we've realized he's the younger version of the hooli ceo

this episode was bighead's time to shine

Zach Woods is incredible. "Can't you see... You're each other's best friends."

the conversation between erlich, bighead, and the DA was #death

Jared w the chicken stats

I just watched all of this in about a week. Jared is one of the best sitcom characters of the decade.

I know exactly where it is. It's. In. The. Bay.

some mathcore nerd mc needs to sample that pronto

"It's a war of all against all"

Yes. The egg hatching line. All time.

gosh that was a fairly rushed episode, huh? from "no, we can't test the beta yet!" to "okay here we are, launching"

Middleditch was at the Cinespia showing of Mean Girls (at the Hollywood Forever cemetery in LA).

amazing

i can't imagine why monica had a problem with the interface

i guess the idea is that they only sent it out to techie nerd friends and she's not that - so it could be that the appeal for the general pop is going to be limited?

well yeah! I mean look at that fuckin' thing!

yeah that is clearly not a non-geek tool

An online compression platform doesn't sound like it would be a consumer-facing product anyway. UI seems fine for what it is...
