One of my favorites was:
Archie: Equality is unfair.
Gloria, Edith, Irene Lorenzo: WHAT!?
Archie: That's right. What's the point of a man working hard all of his life trying to get someplace if all he's going to do is wind up equal?

Is anyone else using GitHub Copilot to give coding suggestions? I just installed it, and it has impressed me right off the bat.
I changed a public base class member to protected, and the variable type was object. Copilot was able to deduce that I was changing this member to be overridden in each derived class with a variable of a different type. It automatically implemented the override code in each derived class by creating a protected member of the correct type, and also implemented a correctly typed property accessor representing the protected member.
My mind boggles when I try to imagine how the thinking process inside the tool works.
Does anyone else have success stories using the Github Copilot?

C#. It's also available for C++ if that's more your style.

I'm using it. I was just accepted on the Copilot Chat Beta. It is incredibly useful.

Yeah, still wondering if anyone has had success with web dev.

How about a web-based, IBM PC emulator with an EARLY Norton Utilities release (back when it was good!).
Be sure to check out what's on drives C: and D:. Very interesting.

I want to step back in time to the days when:
- I thought politicians were honest
- I thought the Government knew what it was doing
But I don't think my parents would want me.

It would be no different. Because you thought politicians were honest and you thought the Government knew what it was doing.

But then I was young and innocent and had all of my life before me. Now I'm not so young, definitely not innocent, and most of my life is behind me.

SQL is the simply best language... for those situations it's suited for.
But when a situation requires another technique, SQL is simply the worst language. 
Yup, I'm gonna have to use C# for this in hopes that it can handle this transform more betterishly.

Indeed. I wrote a project here called Reggie that generates matching code for TEXT and NTEXT data such that you can use regular expressions with your database inputs.
The generated code is awful in terms of what it has to make SQL do. Encoding ASCII or 16-bit Unicode into UTF-32 to work with the generated regex engine - plus just the nastiness of returning results (as rowsets of course). It's not navigable code - at least not for mortals.

I wrote CLR functions for doing security several different things including Regular Expressions.
Never try to do string manipulation in SQL.

I did it to demonstrate an extreme use case for a templated based regex code generator I wrote.
It wasn't really meant to be practical, but illustrative, in that if you could make it generate SQL code, you could make it generate just about anything.

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?

Ah, can it generate TECO?
