I'm not so sure I want a bunch of kids playing Ghostbusters. I could probably have got on board with 17-18 (late high school) at a push, but they just seem too young.
It's fine if they wan't to target the younger audience, and I am sure the film will be "ok" too. Just not quite what I had hoped for.
Also wasn't too impressed by the attempts at humour in the trailer. Nothing worse than a so-called comedy that isn't funny - so I hope it doesn't end up being that.
Expected rating: 6/10

Well ... you say that, but it has Mike from Stranger Things, and that was pretty damn good!

Based on the trailer I did not get the impression that they were going for a comedy.

instead of actors let's use kids so we can do even cornier jokes!

nah, well maybe for grankids but otherwise a definite nah.

Looks very Goonies'ish to me. I like it!

That just looks like Stranger Things season 3!
And I kind of liked the 2016 Ghostbusters

After watching that documentary I wonder.... What is the best place to find a ghost! U.S.A.? or South Korea?
Those are the big questions!

So there's this thing in .NET called the "default binder" which has methods like BindToMethod() and BindToProperty().
What it does is it tells .NET how to resolve things like overloaded methods and choose which one is appropriate based on the passed in arguments.
Reflection uses it underneath Type.InvokeMember() and the C# compiler (as well as other compilers) almost certainly use it to help with choosing what methods to bind to (on external types) within a method/property group.
The docs use words like "generally". I wish I was joking. As in generally it only does widening conversions on parameters.
I don't care about generally. I care about specifics, because I have to emulate it for my own non-compiled types.
 it's off to the reference source (again)
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.

It handles it. Fortunately in this case the CodeDOM doesn't support it so I don't have to emulate it.

LOC = lines of code
Narrator is speaking about the Kemeny [^] who invented BASIC.
Quote: Probably thought to himself, "I bet I could write a compiler." You know a compiler is a big program: 3,000 lines of code.

If you really know every single line of the program, so that you can explain why it is there and what it does, and you can tell the effect of changing it, then the program is not big.
I have never been working with a program in excess of 30 KLOC without, every now and then, scratching my head, asking "Why the *** is it programmed like that?" - even when it is programmed by myself. So it is a big program.
I guess that for me, the big programs start somewhere between 10 KLOC and 30 KLOC, depending on the complexity of the code.
With one exception: Any APL program exceeding 30 lines is big.

Overweight
Six = over
Stone = weight

Good point
Over could be got by Aussies/Indians though.
I’m not sure if any other countries use stone as a weight. Didn’t consider it to be honest but would assume people from most countries would Be aware of it

You're right, that should have been easy.
Fat > Overweight should have been very obvious, yet somehow nobody got it. Kind of makes one realise how distracting other elements can sometimes be!
Also, I don't much care for cricket.

I actually regretted putting fat in the clue just after I posted as I thought it would be too easy.
I guess six had people going down the words that start with “vi” route

I tried combinations of vi and hex but couldn't come up with anything.

Can you explain the six = over for us 'Mericans, please?
|
|
|
|

It is a cricket term for six balls being bowled; after which the bowler and wicket keeper switch ends.
