    Must Have Software

    Reformatted my PC and went about installing my favorite software. Wow, just noticed that MediaPlayer Classic's development ceased back in 2017. What's a good alternative? Looking for something very minimalistic and simple, but supports all the popular codecs.

    Is there such a thing where one can watch the trades of talented traders and just copy what they do? Obviously there would need to be some sort of notification system where one can react in near real-time.

    Killing Eve

    I really enjoyed season 1. But season 2 and now season 3 seem to be meandering. Hard to keep interested. In my opinion, anyway.

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    This is what I've been saying. Some studio out there should create a free-to-play dungeon crawler. Just dungeons, no open world. Maybe a hub or something so people can show off their shinies, but all other content is dungeon or dungeon-like for 5 or so players.

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    I guess FF and GW2 are the only real alternatives? What's amazing is that we aren't that far off from 2024. By that point WoW will be 20 years old. TWENTY YEARS. 20 years prior to 2004 was 1984. If you showed me a game from 2004 back in 1984 my head would've exploded, not counting that it's...

    Really? Nothing stood out to me as particularly bad. The bus CGI was terrible, though. And, shiver-me-timbers, have we not had an overtly gay character shoved in our face? Oh, I'm sure its coming but it's been refreshing so far.

    Anyone watching this? I haven't picked it back up since the winter break. I assume it got all amazing and all, right? RIGHT?

    Alright boys, what's a good 1440p monitor that's good for gaming and productivity/office/software development? Looking to spend 400-500 bucks.

    Phantasy Star Online 2

    This is the problem I'm having. And it infuriates me that I, THE ADMINISTRATOR, cannot access the folder contents without fucking around with permissions. I'm deleting the entire WindowsApp folder and not caring anymore. Why can't I just run a 'setup.exe' like a normal program?

    Phantasy Star Online 2

    All I know is, the performance is terrible in the lobby. Extremely herky-jerky. What the hell.

    I watched about 75% of the first episode and shut it off. The rest room scene with the piss rope was fucking stupid and juvenile. Why would one need to urinate in a simulation? Dumb.

    Batwoman

    The point is, if these producers want to be all "inclusive" then they are missing one spectrum of the rainbow of bullshit.

    No, it's having no real interest. Incels, from what I understand, are very interested but can't get none.

    By the way, if you ever need to scrape HTML to find elements, click buttons, etc. a great library is Html Agility Pack.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    If you're a .NET guy, then I think it should be fairly trivial to create a simple console app that makes a periodic call to a gmail API, looking whatever, and, lke TJT said, invoke the link. Unless you have to do more on the link's end? BTW: .NET Quickstart | Gmail API | Google Developers

    Is this for Outlook (desktop app, not web)?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Well, if you follow the "rules" of REST API, all you should have is GET, POST, PUT, DELETE endpoints. Don't create endpoints that act like function calls.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Personally, I think you should either return a refreshed list with the 200 response from your DELETE -or- perform a GET request to re-fetch the list. I really don't like splicing arrays. Granted, this will work fine with a simple 'TODO' app. However, think in real-world scenarios where you...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    You can have your HTTP DELETE return a response with the updated list. Obviously, this is a bad idea if you have a massive list. But for small lists it's fine. But I would NOT manipulate an in-memory list of items and "assume" that the back-end call completed successfully. What if the db...

    So my Vanguard ETF total gain/loss is now at "0". I have shares in VDE which is pure pain and a significant portion into VTI. I'm wondering if I should liquidate it all and wait for a dip, then re-enter into VTI and hold for long-term. Or, alternatively, take the loss in VDE and put that into...

    I never picked up much in the way of SJW propaganda with the Flash. It's just the writing and stories were so awfully boring. Plus his solution to fighting the baddies is to run around in circles and get knocked out.

    Star Trek: Picard

    I hope not (and I know, the odds are very low), because this one I'll really be excited for. The ONLY thing I enjoyed about the last season of Discovery was their re-imagined Enterprise and Pike crew.
