Yeah, there have been many times I've realized a solution while trying to explain it on a StackOverflow post. But I wouldn't literally place a rubber duck at my desk...

I'm not sure, I was kind of disappointed. I get the feeling that they rewrote the last couple of episodes because the producers realized, "oh shit, this is actually doing well ratings-wise. We'll get another season!" and decided to string the story out. The season should have ended with all...

Most of our devs demand a "knowledge transfer" before even considering to look at something they're not familiar with.

Yeah, how come IE never really had decent extension support? Tons of add-ons for Firefox and Chrome, but pretty much jack shit for IE. Were they super difficult to create for it? I can't use Edge until some kind of color-inverter is created for it (the usual white backgrounds on sites burn...

BOOM green light for season 2. Renewed for Season 2 at AMC | TVLine

Right, that's retarded. Doing it his way exposes implementation details to the consumer of the class.

I'm the same way. Asking for help is like admitting defeat.

What? fuck that guy. I've learned that some people can just talk a good talk and get hired. The other developer on my team always talks like he's an expert on every subject, but he has a very basic understanding of OOP principles. As I've mentioned before, he'll bang out dozens of...

Yes, although it's really not that complicated. Basically the concept is that you are not tying your objects to a concrete implementation of any of their dependencies. A simple example: In this example we are tying our AccountsController to a concrete version of the AccountsRepository (which...

Who the hell records TV shows? Just subscribe to a $5/month Usenet service and download what you want.

Alright, so what happened in the books?

Certainly I'm not the only one that has had updates break my system? I usually do a full wipe and reload every few months. I update the system to the latest atthatpoint in time, but then don't bother updating afterwards.

I was wondering about that. I installed Windows 10 Enterprise and could not find a way to set the update to manual checking. I dunno...I kinda prefer Windows 8 over 10 at this point. I thought I would like the UI more, but I'm finding it even more annoying than I did with 8.

I disagree. It's a relatively simple language and that doesn't bog a person down having to deal with creating classes, strong typing, etc. You can just write functions, create objects and properties on a whim - hell, it's probably one of the most learning-friendly languages out there.

Yeah, well, tell them to man-up.

I see where you're coming from, but Javascript as a programming language does not require it to be tied to HTML and CSS. Sure, the browser environment where it's most used, but Javascript functions just fine as a language on it's own that can teach a person programming concepts. They...

Javascript may not be a bad choice. You know, since it's the "language of the web" and all, it's practical to learn (unlike LOGO or something). Plus there are tons of online interpreters so no need to fight with an IDE.

Oh my god, the older code in our project is rife with this. Every opening and closing brace has a comment attached. I don't know who thought this was a good idea since it makes the code extremely difficult to read. Something that has become a great annoyance of mine lately are void methods...

I assume that this being Groovy you weren't able to submit this as a solution? If so, and even if this works, I suspect that it will fail under their metrics due to the copying of the array to Lists. Their test cases can get HUGE. So often when was copying an array to a list or re-ordering...

I thought this was supposed to be a one shot? No second season. Considering that, it fell flat. Given the name of the episode, "Cycle", I suspected that there have been many, many Wayward Pines over the generations. And so far, each one destroyed itself in the end. I thought that would've...

That's interesting. We had a guy come back to us after working at Amazon for a couple years. I always wondered, "Why on Earth would you leave Amazon to come back to this crap hole?"

I love Gaffigan. I appreciate his clean stand-ups. First couple of episodes were decently funny, although nothing amazing.

Well, they did show Slater interacting with the other team members and random people at the coffee shop. Still, could be Elliott in "Slater mode".

RTM images are out.

Contains Duplicate II This was a fun one. But I cannot think of how to make this any quicker. Performance wasn't too bad, though.

Oh, man, i feel like an idiot. I've been looking atLeetCode Online Judgeand attempting some of the algorithm problems. I've been able to craft solutions but often not within the time frame they allow. And this is for the "easy" ones.

Do you know the destination URL after the Captcha is completed? The code could fire off of that.

Well, shedoeshave a nice ass. So there's that.

Why hasn't Java implemented auto properties yet?

He'd love our project then. Namespacing is accomplished by using inner classes. Our class files exceed 5000 files in some instances. I shit you not.

Ugh, I'd probably fail at these type of interviews. Up to this point, my interviews have just been chit chats to get to know you. "Oh, you seem cool. You're hired!".

Yeah, but honestly, a Java developer could easily transition to a .NET developer.

What about abstract base classes? Are those "-able" too?

I agree. Microsoft style guidelines recommend using "this." instead of prefixes, but honestly it just looks noisy. I've seen the "m_" prefix elsewhere, but I prefer the even simpler underscore and that's it. Speaking of variable prefixes, one of the developers here has a habit of prefixing...

We have the "NIH" (not invented here) syndrome where I work. In fact, one of the other developers claimed that we cannot use open source libraries because we would, in turn, have to give away our software for free. Not sure where the hell he got that from. The point is, though, is there is...

I've been working on a personal project that uses a multi-dimensional array. Actually, I've been struggling to try and think of a better way to represent the data. And, hey, maybe you guys might have some ideas. In fact, I think someone here mentioned they work with or might pursue a job that...

I regular use Arrays, HashSets, Dictionaries, and Queues. Of course, these classes are built into .NET so I'm not literally writing the insert, delete, and search algorithms.

Wonder if it's more popular outside the U.S.? Reception

Shit, seeing how people get ATE UP from the mosquitoes, I'd almost pick the net above all other survival tools. Anyway, Naked and Afraid XL is fucking great. That shit with Honora had me rolling. And damn she was quick. BAM knife snatched, in the water.

Does anyone else get absolutely sick of working on the same project? I'm sure we all do, of course. But for me it's the disgust of having to fight with a 10+ year old application built on terrible code and poorly implemented, obsolete technologies. There's zero hope of ever working with any...
