My dad spent his entire adult life working at the same dealer as a mechanic. The sales people are the ones making dealers look bad.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Almost two weeks ago, my uncle died on a plane flight home to Tenerife.
He still had a home in the Netherlands and he was visiting family.
Today was his cremation.
Apparently, he died of double pneumonia, not something that should kill you unless you ignore it and get on a plane.
His sister, my aunt, said he looked awful and he should see a doctor, apparently my uncle, his brother, said the same.
He didn't feel so good either so he had a call with his wife who said he should stay here, see a doctor and she'd come over to the Netherlands.
Of course, he didn't want to see a doctor, but he agreed with his wife he'd see one in Tenerife.
He never made it to that doctor, although his body technically still made it to Tenerife.
I'm from a pretty stubborn family (both sides), but sometimes it's good to be a little less stubborn, especially when it comes to your health.
Be stubborn about your code (always use braces), about your frameworks and languages (C# .NET Core with EF Core), about your methodologies (Scrum, DevOps), but not about your health.
The former are just wrong if you do anything else I just said, the latter might literally kill you

I'm sorry for your loss.
Just to add to what you're saying: without your health, you have nothing. Make your health priority #1.

Thanks, but I wasn't close with him.
I think I saw him once every few years on average.
It felt a bit awkward sitting at the front at the cremation because I'm family, while his closest friends who were obviously more upset than me had to sit in the back
My cleaning lady has some "wisdom" on her WhatsApp image.
Freely translated: When you're healthy you have a thousand wishes, when you're sick you only have one.
I guess that's true.

Sorry for your lose!
I'm also one of those stubborn types.

Just be careful about your health!
If your body tells you something is wrong don't ignore it.

Wow, 2 months seems an awful long time to be waiting for something like that. I've had lots of kidney stones but none caused those symptoms for that long. Best of luck with that.

That's how the VA does things, if they wait to treat you die and that's just one less to deal with.

Nothing says thanks to our vets like 'hurry up and die", that's so f**ked up.

They hold the purse strings so getting them to take care of us that do go is not the best care.

I started losing my hearing on an Aircraft carrier flight deck during Viet Nam. Also our shop was below the #1 catapult.
Tinnitus has gotten so bad now, I really am going deaf.
One branch of the VA turned me down because my "Household Income" is too high. (Being a Viet Nam Veteran is an exception to that rule.)
The Hospital has scheduled an appointment on December 26th. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
The democrats should worry more about taking care of the veterans that served than the illegal aliens..

I've had Tinnitus since 68, at times it's so bad I can't hear much but it rings all the time.
There is no cure but hope you can get disability! Good luck!

Old buggers (men and women) tend to be stubborn AF.
My parents were in Italy last year, dad did not feel well, even before their vacations, never told my mum; he ended up in hospital with heart attack and a new pacemaker.
He's feeling a lot better now that his heart has been stabilized.
I'd rather be phishing!

Good thing it ended like it did!

I ended up in the hospital for 3 days with pneumonia before thanksgiving. All I knew was that I felt terrible. Didn’t have a cough or congestion - just felt like crap. After a week and a half, I finally went to the ER. To say I was surprised at the diagnosis is an understatement.

My wife is a registered nurse. Still working at 68 years old.
She hates doctors and refuses to go get checked out! She never gets sick!
I feel your pain.
Sorry for you loss.
Older people do not get more stubborn. They're just afraid to find out what might be wrong.

rules.Sort((x,y) => {
return rules.IndexOf(x) - rules.IndexOf(y);
});
should be
rules.Sort((x,y) => {
return cfg.Rules.IndexOf(x) - cfg.Rules.IndexOf(y);
});
The first one is funny because Sort modifies rules
It never completes
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I think I did that once. Once.
And, yes, I was trying to sort a collection which the sort modifies. I forget the details now, but it wasn't long ago.

Now I've got my once - I think. I've coded since 1986. I know that's not near as long as some of you but still my memory gets hazy over decades.
This was more of my fingers getting ahead of me than an algorithm problem. I had meant to write the second one, but i spat out the first one instead.
I've run into non-halting loops due to modifying collections before, but not in a sort routine by fudging the sort values.
And the funny thing is I was just thinking about that the other day - how easy it would be to write a comparer which could hose the visual studio designer and possibly DoS devstudio.
I have better things to do of course, so I haven't verified what would happen if I plugged one into say, the design time type descriptors VS reads.

I started in 1983 (high school), and my favorite anecdote is still the time I crashed the school's PDP-11 by filling the disk with the log file of a depth-first maze solver.
Good times.
