    What's C# standard scope level for garbage collection? Sometimes it's unintuitive. Python is function level, which was fun to learn.

    Is it too much to hope that this will bring back a game like M2:TW? I want diversification among faction/countries/whatever again.

    If they built the compiler, then all bets are off. Who know what stupid shit they may have put into the parser and interpreter. Standards exist for a reason.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Finally completed my season journey and beat Diablo. GR60 solo and T10 under 3 minutes can go fuck themselves. Though, that last one probably wasn't difficult for most people, I just prefer to play solo if possible. Season 5 journey if anyone is interested: PTR 2.4/S5 Season Journey -...

    Procrastination

    I work at a tech company and surprising majority of people that I've seen use a computer still right click -> open in new tab. Great for looking at porn and queuing up a bunch of picture links to load simultaneously.

    Procrastination

    Also, I think Parkinson's Law is partly to blame here. You know the task won't take X hours, so you procrastinate for a bit, get the work done, but still feel bad for procrastinating. Parkinson's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Procrastination

    I'd actually attribute this to being proficient with computers. Which, obviously everyone on this forum is(except Hoss), so they go looking for a different reason. Plain and simple, if the ability to do something more desirable is an alt-tab away, or a game you have installed on your...

    I didn't think memory leaks were possible in a managed language. How did you determine you have a leak?

    It will, at some point, hopefully. I mean, my nas can already saturate a 1GbE connection, so technically there's already a usage scenario for 10GbE, just not practical usage in the home.

    Hmmm, looking at the price difference between cat5e and cat6, I'm not sure why I didn't just buy a box of bulk cat6 instead. I swear it was more than just an extra $25 per 1kft. Oh well, going to be fun rerunning this shit when 10GbE becomes necessary. Or maybe the next owner can deal with...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I tried In-Geom, wasn't getting good results. I really want to kick myself because I was just dicking around and opened a rift and let it sit for a while before entering it. Turns out it was the sub 3 minute rift I need. Dash - punch - SSS, repeat. Out of In-Geom, Flow of Eternity, Lion's...

    Lol, I'm such an idiot. I totally forgot I could just buy another switch instead of running many many more feet of cable. Oh well, it's already done. Though, a switch just for 2-3 devices does seem a bit overkillish. Why cat6 instead of cat5e? By the time 10GbE becomes a standard AND...

    This is the link: Difference between pointer and array in C? - GeeksforGeeks It's phrased really poorly, like someone saw some shared characteristics between arrays and pointers, and there definitely are, but they had to shoehorn it into an "interview question". I've gone from C++ to Java...

    That's what one of the things I love about Python, your containers are basic: dictionary(hash map in other languages, usually) set tuple list No queues, vectors, dequeues, arrays, arraylists, 100 variations of hashes and/or maps, etc. Pick your container and make sure your algorithm...

    Stumbled upon this one in a C link: What a stupid comparison. Is this supposed to teach that an array is just a pointer to a contiguous block of memory? It seems like a really disjointed question. What's the difference between a zebra and the sun?

    So, ran out of ports on my router(2x NAS, 1 computer, 2x Shields, maybe more to come). I assume I need to buy a switch, something like this? 8 Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Switch - Monoprice.com Any recommendations besides monoprice that might be in stock in the next month?

    Depends on the state. I worked for a company in Vermont, which required vacation payout, but they were headquartered in North Carolina, which doesn't require vacation payout. So, I told them I'm quitting a week earlier than I had intended and just went on vacation. Seems way too often that...

    You don't have a memory leak. Nowhere in your code do you instantiate anything on the heap. Memory leaks that cause performance issues are not leaks and more like giant gaping holes. And quite shortly after causing performance issues, the program will crash. Unless you're referring to...

    From what I understand about mechanicals, the majority of the sound is generated from improper usage. Bottoming out the keystroke, plastic on plastic violence. Some sound comes from the switch clicking, but you can dampen that by buying browns(I think that's the right color). I've been...

    Look up the curriculum for your degree, which it sounds like you already did. Personally, I wish I had started with Python instead of C, but it's a (somewhat)useless recommendation if none of your courses are going to utilize it.

    Does that exist? I went looking for TVs with those specs too and I couldn't find anything(of quality) for less than $700. BJ's is going to have the Samsung UN55J6300 at $700 for Black Friday.

    If there's anything you learn from this course, always assume the user is an idiot. Users, other programmers, even yourself a few months from now will come back use your software incorrectly. Why did you need C++ to finish this?
