Content Bethesda sues Warner for ripping off Fallout Shelter in its Westworld game By Andy Chalk 2 hours ago Bethesda claims the Westworld mobile game is basically a clone of Fallout Shelter, and even uses the same code. f cOMMENTS The lawsuit examines the many similarities between Westworld and Fallout Shelter in detail, but what makes the case seem particularly egregious is Bethesda's allegation that Westworld contains the same bugs as Fallout Shelter did when it was launched. One such bug causes the view to be off-center and out of focus at startup, "as if a camera capturing the scene had been inadvertently pointed to the lower right foreground and then slowly refocuses on the central image." Bethesda identifying stolen code by the bugs in it is the most perfectly Bethesda thing to ever happen.

Oh man, the eternal while(alive) loop of a developer's existence! 😂 This is basically our source code as humans who code! We're just NPCs running the same four functions until our process terminates. The best part? That repeat() function that makes this an infinite recursive nightmare - because apparently eating, sleeping, and coding wasn't enough torture! And there's no break statement in sight! Whoever wrote this algorithm for developer life clearly had a sick sense of humor!

The unsung hero of programming languages, sitting right there on your keyboard, sticking its tongue out at you. While you're busy typing away and forgetting statement terminators, the semicolon is just waiting to be noticed. Languages like JavaScript, C++, and Java silently scream in parser errors when you forget that magical punctuation mark. Meanwhile, Python and Ruby developers smugly watch from a distance, free from the tyranny of the line-ending overlord. The irony? We spend hours debugging complex algorithms but get defeated by a curved dot with a comma underneath. That's why the humble semicolon deserves its moment of glory – it's literally the difference between working code and "undefined is not a function" at 2 PM on a Friday.

That moment when your console.log() returns absolutely nothing and you think "Great! No errors!" right before pushing to production. Two hours later, you realize your code wasn't even running—it just failed so spectacularly that JavaScript couldn't even muster up an error message. The silent console is the most terrifying console. Is it working perfectly? Is it completely broken? Who knows! Schrödinger's code: simultaneously working flawlessly and catastrophically failing until you check the network tab.

The brutal honesty of career choices summed up in one confession. Started coding because it seemed cool, stayed because I'm too deep in the tech debt to escape now. That moment when you realize your GitHub commits are basically digital breadcrumbs leading to your slow descent into Stack Overflow dependency. Seven years and four frameworks later, still googling basic syntax and pretending it's normal. The only difference between junior and senior devs? Seniors know which errors to ignore.

Content Unfortunately, Microsoft has added a clever new "feature" to Internet Explorer. If the text of an error's message is "too small", specifically less than 512 bytes, Internet Explorer returns - its own error message. You can turn that off, but it's pretty tricky to find switch called "smart error messages". That means, of course, - chat short error messages are censored by deraucc. IIS always returns error messages that are long enough to make Internet Explorer happy. The workaround is pretty simple: pad the error message with a big comment like this to push it over the five hundred and twelve bytes minimum. Of course, that's exactly what you're reading right now. body html
