    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    How about this: leave a character's sexual orientation out of the story? If it's not important to the story then who the fuck cares, leave it out, and don't go down that road. Why do these people feel it's super important to show two dudes going at it on screen? And, as I've mentioned...

    The House Plants Thread

    Any Yucca Cane experts here? I bought one of these not quite a year ago. I followed the directions -- didn't water it much, made sure the soil was at most damp. Light-wise was suppose to be about 5' from a window, so I kept it under a skylight which I thought would be ample light. It was...

    Behold, my very fat backyard squirrel... These little (well, not so little now) guys gorge themselves on sunflower seeds.

    Nightflyers

    He's crazy-uploaded-dead-mom's son. I assume he's human although he was acting very android-like in one scene, so my suspicions remain that he's not human (I'm on episode 5 or 6 so maybe this has already been revealed...) I actually quite like the show so far. It's weird, but I'm enjoying the...

    Counterpart

    For some reason I took that scene as a flashback.

    One thing I cannot freakin' stand is the type aliasing. Oh, I get the necessity of it since type declarations can end up being a million miles long thanks to the scope operators. But it makes code really hard to read when people can name types whatever the hell they want.

    Another episode (5) is out. They must be releasing the whole thing over the week. The meat space probe episode was weird.

    Third episode is out. No one is watching this? It's not terrible.

    Watership Down

    Animation is terrible. Like someone else said, it's like cheap CGI from the 90s. Why watch this over the 70s version?

    Ratings are way down. Doesn't look good for renewal.

    Yeah, what is super simple in Javascript, Java, or C# is ugly and a pain in the ass in C++. I'll be glad when I'm done with this course. I absolutely cannot stand working with this language.

    There's a possibility of two types of inputs: A,B,C,D,E,F and (A,B,128) Basically I needed a regex that would match line 1 but not line 2 and vice versa. But, it's fine, I got everything working. Basically used a regex that matches the parens string, then just manually remove the parens...

    Because I need it to match specifically to that pattern. There is other CSV text in the string that I need it to NOT match against when not wrapped in parens.

    Alright Regex experts, I need a pattern to match this... (R,C,126) I need the pattern match on the parenthesis BUT exclude them in the result, as well as then match a comma-separated list of values excluding the commas. So, using an iterator, the output would be: R C 126 This is for C++...

    Nightflyers

    Holy fuck did their mission get off to a shitty start. The captain should have aborted within the first 5 minutes. First episode was alright. IMO, things escalated way too quickly. Would've worked better if we could have been eased into the chaos. But I guess Syfy was worried they would...

    We don't white board our candidates. We simply talk with them to get a feel for their personality and whether they will mesh with the team. Afterwards, if we like them, we have them do a series of progressively more complicated code challenges on a PC. The final one being write a simple CRUD...

    The Walking Dead

    My question is, with Rick gone, who is the central character? Michonne? I'm sorry, but I don't see her as leader material nor do I think the actor can carry the series. The loss of Lincoln, I think, will screw this series ratings even further until they replace him with someone with equal...

    Sort of related, but a pet peeve of mine is people developing their own custom solution to a problem before researching said problem to find what the common approach is. There is rarely anything we do that hasn't been done before, so don't re-invent the wheel.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    You think so? I personally do not like him. I HATE the way he speaks and he has scrawny arms compared to his frame.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    Late to the party as always -- finished this last night. Now, for me this was my favorite season. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I loved Bullseye. Although I was hoping for a Bullseye vs Kingpin without Daredevil mucking things up. Question: at the beginning of the series it showed a scene with...

    Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

    FYI, for Mad Men fans, Kiernan played Sally Drapper - Don and Betty's daughter. It's funny because when we first saw her back in season 1 of Mad Men she was one chunky kid. I remember thinking wow, that girl is going to have weight problems when she gets older. NOPE. Anyway, I'm only two...

    Yeah, I've pretty much dropped it. Any excitement I had after the premiere episode quickly evaporated.

    The Haunting of Hill House

    I may be wrong, but I don't think the Netflix version follows the same plot as the book. At least not in this regard.

    The Haunting of Hill House

    I really enjoyed this up until the final episode. There was too much weird clairvoyance which made me believe none of it was paranormal and was merely nightmare delusions of Liv or one of the other family members. I guess it would've been cliché that it was all a dream but, in my opinion, it...

    Our professor explained that, at one time in the past, they didn't pair advanced math with computer science and it resulted in people who sucked at their job. The implication is, if you can't do calculus then you have no business pursuing a computer science degree.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    If you have an atomic clock in orbit (like on a satellite) and one on the surface of Earth they will, over time, become out of sync.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I think atomic clocks accurately prove that time exists in so far as it's a tangible property of the universe. It's not "made up" or "in our heads".

    Maybe not possible. The Tipler cylinder - Wikipedia mathematically works out and would be a mechanism to travel into the past.

    That sounds stupid. You should be able to do whatever the hell you want within your own topic branch. It's the pull request that would reject any undesirables.

    The Man in the High Castle

    Isn't this a plot hole? Because Tagomi traveled to an alternative Earth and hung out with family. And no one there was shocked that he miraculously returned from the dead? Unless the machine mechanics is different from biological. Or maybe their Tagomi was dead and no one knew? And, also...
