    The Twilight Zone

    I have a feeling it was that particular retarded actor wanting to slip that in. As well as the crack about the president. I don't like him in Silicon Valley and I didn't like him in this.

    Usenet, NZB Indexers, Sickbeard, etc

    My beloved nzbs.org is closing down this month. Can anyone recommend a good Usenet indexer that has an API?

    The Twilight Zone

    Also, I didn't even know the black chick was a comedian until the end. Thought she was a singer or some other act. And, yeah, none of the jokes were even remotely funny. Writers didn't even try.

    The Dragon Prince

    Here's the problem (and this does not apply to Dragon Prince thank God), gay "love" is typically depicted as two male strangers locking gaze across a room, then immediately turns to them going at it in the back room. It is rare for TV and movies to actually show couples in a loving, committed...

    The Twilight Zone

    It was okay. The episode was way too long, however. Ending was predictable but should've occurred sooner.

    The Dragon Prince

    All I know is, I've seen 1000x more gay people in TV and movies than I've seen in my entire real life. This shit is WAY over represented.

    AND it's cancelled.

    Naked and Afraid

    Thread necro. So it looks like this season (10), they are trying to spice things up. Last episode I watched they threw in a SURPRISE! third person into the mix. Which was really funny because you had two average looking people with a near '10' female.

    American Gods

    "How the fuck is that an upgrade?". I concur. Much prefer Gillian Anderson over this chubby Asian.

    Installing Node.js and supporting utilities, multiple versions of SQL Server, multiple versions of Visual Studio, and performing routine updates to those -- invariably something gets fucked up along the way.

    I agree. Screw coding on a laptop. Also, I do all my coding within a VM. Idiots at work constantly screw up their Windows environment and have to get IT to nuke and pave their systems. If you build a development VM which contains all your dev software and something goes wrong you can easily...

    The Orville

    Similar to the episode of TNG where Geordi fell in love with the simulated Leah Brahms. Anyway, yeah, great episode. Although I highly doubt that finding a cell phone from a time capsule would be a rare source of 21st century data. Think about it -- nearly everything on the Internet has...

    What? No mention of Tuvok's cameo?

    After Life

    I didn't realize Gervais is actually a really good actor. Although, I never seen him in anything other than a few initial episodes of The Office.

    Terminator (2019)

    I've always wondered by male celebrities and sports athletes bother to get married? Pussy is thrown at you 24/7, so why deal with the temptation? Just stay single until your 50 or 60s THEN get married and settle down.

    I heard it's custom AMD GPUs. EDIT: Just think...if this technology works, Google will have completely ended the console lifecycle that's been in place for decades.

    I read the book years ago, but I don't remember ANY of this last episode being in the book.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Wow, I wish they had given more time to the character before spacing her. Otherwise I might've given a shit. By the way, what exactly is/was Airiam? Obviously she was once human before an accident...but then made into an android? Too bad, that tiny bit of back story piqued my interest. But...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Oh yeah, in regards to Fury and his eye. So, after seeing that cat spew tentacles out of its mouth, why the FUCK would you ever stick your face right in front of its? The way Fury lost his eye feels the same way as discovering how Han got his last name.

    The Passage (Fox)

    And the entire first season is a prologue? That was different. I couldn't tell, but has Amy remained physically as a child? Ala Claudia in Interview with a Vampire?

    All I'm saying is, we're not white boarding algorithms during our development. So it's not something we focus on during an interview.

    We're not that strict. Honestly, all the client-side frameworks follow similar concepts -- such as data binding, HTML templating, communicating with an web API, etc. We never say you HAVE to have experience with Angular, for example. If someone applied that had extensive experience with...

    I forget I'm in a different industry than most of the guys in this thread. We employee full stack web developers, so interview questions revolving around algorithms and such aren't that important. For us, it's mostly about whether you have experience with a particular language + framework, and...

    In regards to interviews, have you guys considered just pointing them to your Github account? "Check out my repos if you want to see my code", and dispense with the stupid code challenges.

    Well, not "extensively for work" but for C++ during my college course I used JetBrains CLion. Which, if you're familiar with IntelliJ, it's pretty much the same as that.

    If a developer is writing their own queue, linked list, hash table, etc. then they should be fired. Obviously it's important to know when to use one over the other, but expecting an interviewee to implement one via pseudo code or whatever is just dumb.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Solid 2 stars and fairly forgettable. Doubt I'll ever watch it again. Did anyone else find Talos' accent distracting? Why would Skrulls have an Australian accent? Dumb.

    From Apress Java 8 Fundementals: Sounds pretty damn similar to C++'s destructor. What am I missing?

    You're right, but they do exist in C# though. Figured since the two languages are so similar that Java would have it as well.

    Pretty sure it does but would be rarely used. So rare that most developers probably don't know they exist because of that reason. Are you kidding me? VI? Fuck that shit. Sure, I know, people who are good with it can be fast as hell, but that's like a tiny percentage of the developer...

    The Dragon Prince

    That's what I thought, but I have a habit of not entirely paying attention at times. There was so much talk of "the king is dead!" and yet no one actually saw the body, so made me wonder if I missed something.
