I don't know if there's an editor. I haven't looked for one, but if there is it won't be a visual editor.

nothing about our existence is a simulation, as cool as that sounds.
That is not to say that we were not engineered by other higher life forms - I believe this.

The case for living in a simulation says that one of the following is true:
1. Ours will be the first civilization capable of creating such simulations.
2. Civilizations capable of creating such simulations don't do so.
3. You are almost certainly living in a simulation.
This seems to make #3 the front-runner--if you accept the premise that such simulations are possible. But maybe they're not. Getting the software right might be too hard, or running such simulations might require too many resources.

We are all just bitcoins in the simulation that created our simulation.
Itβs simulations all the way down!

I had a customer once who was very difficult, to put it mildly. We had to revise our system's scheduler to accommodate a change they thought they need to make to their process. This was a system that performed chemical processes on cassettes full of wafers. It turned out to be an unnecessary change that no one else in the industry used and they ended up abandoning it themselves a few years later. Anyway, we had to provide them with a simulation of our system and they spent weeks running it to verify the processing steps. I still vividly remember this customer, in a rather heated discussion, exclaiming, "but the simulation is real!"
That still makes me chuckle. 
FWIW, this was in the late 1980s and they were just making the transition from using aluminum for interconnections to using copper and they were afraid the copper would corrode if left in rinse tanks too long. As it turns out, it will but you have to leave the cassettes in the rinse tank a very long time but we usually didn't do that. I won't go into the changes we had to make to the process since they were removed in the next version anyway. One piece of trivia: that was for IBM when they were second-sourcing the 80286 for Intel.

Yup, and those children who don't wipe their noses end up on his snotty list.

I don't recall hearing about a snotty list, but I've heard of a shite list, which still works.

Still feels like an unrealistic number.

Tom Lehrer suggested:
Given that the true spirit of modern Christmas is the commercial spirit, perhaps Christmas carols should be updated as follows:
- God rest ye merry merchants, may ye make the yuletide pay
- Angels we have heard on high, tell us to go out and buy
- Hark, The Herald Tribune sings, advertising wondrous things
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I'm browsing through the labyrinth of MSDN and I am seeing more and more use of expression bodies.
eg
public MyObject(string name, string data) =>
(_name, _data) = (name, data);
as opposed to
public MyObject(string name, string data)
{
_name = name;
_data= data;
}
This makes me feel old because it reminds me of when we used to cram our code into as small a space as possible to handle 25 line screens.
Maybe this is like skinny jeans: in a year's time it'll all be over.
cheers
