I'm trying to get more fit now. It's so much harder than before =(

That's true and it's a good point because it's not usually the real world-beaters talking shit on the forums. It's the pissants and sideline jockeys who haul out the bullshit. We've made a legacy of enduring the shit talk and responding ingame, and with servers we can only respond to our own server!

Vinen, I agree with your sentiment that refactoring (or any change to the code) can add regression defects. That's why I generally prefer to refactor only when I need to do major work in a component. Ex: I'm tasked with porting a set of motor controller code from a previous code base into a new...

Uhh... am I an ass or did it not come back in the last act? Right before the cirque du soleil pole jumper dudes?

I didn't know Gavin was an athlete.

I was disappointed nothing much happened with it when it comes back later. I feel like they kind of set it up to make a triumphant return in a future film.

Maybe. The SA forum is much less populated these days, and we've fought the Goon Squad in several PvP MMOs (Not Eve though!) and they haven't been an immense or even insiduous force like some people treat them. I treat them with the same respect I treat any large and aggressive guild, but they...

Doesn't look far from a ~13 year old Ned Stark. I wonder what scene they'll have him be in. I'm betting that SEan Bean could do the tower of joy scene np. Them casting twins is probably for child-actor reasons, but could re-ignite the very silly meera reed = jon snow's sister theories!!

One thing that will mitigate this is that trust in a player will be minimal unless that person has been with a group for multiple campaigns. And if you're an agent working for another organization there is a high cost when you have to spend time in campaigns your true organization isn't even in...

From my experience in a FFA environment communities will solidify into two distinct groups. Who is in each of these two groups will change quickly, but generally there will be two groups. And if the games' rules allow for it and the field is level, once one group gains an upper hand they will...

Another aspect to campaign length that people don't talk about a lot is that you can make the large-scale PvP rules much more brutal if you're tuned to shorter campaigns. Longevity is built paid with the cost of the winner not being able to obliterate the loser. In a true sandbox PvP...

If a cryptological currency occurs I really hope it has a dual use. I really hate the idea of future currencies being built upon massive datacenters using electricity for a computational circle jerk. It's like the machine version of finance companies hiring top mathematicians and computer...

I want to play this, but only if I hear it has good and challenging gameplay. If my city isn't a pile of shit that goes bankrupt and I get lynched the first 3+ times I try to make it, then it's not enjoyable for me.

I don't really agree with the idea that Batman's villians are just one part of himself. I think Batman is such a well rounded and complex character with a vast assortment of tools that other mortals he might fight are naturally subsets of him as a consequence, rather than by design. Ex: I...

IMO, it's preferable to agree on some good practices and have those be the 'gold standard', then to follow Kovaks advice and refactor as you go. The big problem happens when two developers prominently disagree on what those good practices are. Lendarios, I'm trying to ditch the m_ for...

Nothing they say about that subject matters much right now. They'll probably have a long testing phase and near release we'll see just how important your trophy from the previous season will help you in the next. My guess? It all depends on A: Whether the game is fun enough that people don't...

My baby cries like a baby anytime we sit him down and don't pay attention to him. What can I do to make him more introverted?

Please use: Global Warming, or how to turn the earth into venus. - Page 16 for all the climate posting.

looking to build an htpc, saw this article: The Home Theater PC Build | The Tech Buyers Guru what would you guys change?

We shouod make a climate thread so we dont litter the good and noble science thread with bullshit.

Re: People asking questions ad infinidum: I think the best way to handle it is to become increasingly vague with the more questions that are asked. "How do I convert to hex in java?" "Integer.valueOf(String.valueOf(n), 16);" ten minutes later... "How do I convert to binary?"...

I know very little about chemistry and less about organic chemistry. I know so little that a chemist would likely laugh at my musings in their field. I do know that organic chemistry is generally defined as 'chemistry involving carbon atoms' because that makes a lot of sense. But in a...

That part is a bit inconsistent. Unless some 5 of those 'blades' were actual swords and the rest were steak knives, the Lannisters could've gotten one. There's only a hundred or so real houses in Westeros.

Ancient what point are you trying to make here?

It should never happen and it'd be a travesty if the UFC signed it or a commission sanctioned it, but I'd still avatar bet on Ronda against some of the dudes on the UFC roster.

I never got any insight as to who made what decisions about nameplates. When I brought it up and told them how devastating of a decision it was for communities they had nothing to say.

Kentucky man shoots down drone spying on 16-year-old daughter

30N a watt is ludicrous, it woupd make it a perpetual motion machine i think. There have been a few weird results where the thrust has increased exponentiallly with the power and some people have extrapolated that out to hoverboard levels. Itd be great, but silly to consider at this point...

If it's Tajmar that got leaked this week, he got values in line with others. But he had pretty low Q factors so it wasn't that impressive. From what (little) I understand, the Q factor is the amount of shenanigans going on in the drive, and folks are trying to figure out how to maximize them...

As someone who knows little about organic chemistry, id be super interested if we discovered a planet teeming with silicone/ ammonia based life instead of carbon / water

Let me know if you need someone to pay a Michigan tool a visit.

Why would you ever want to play 1.0?

bonus: Why don't I remember any of these scenes? I remember hercules/xena being lawless and sorbo running around in the woods like a larp film, but this is above and beyond.

Would love it if the Spartacus folks redid Xena with Crixus as Ares. Man I forgot how good those shows were (Note at 0:50, the hand that grabs the knife isn't even close to Ares' hand).

No idea, maybe. Re: WEight lifting vs running, I like weight lifting but for a few more months I can just run around my nieghborhood with my kid in a jogging stroller.

C++ has a mechanism to handle this called "const correctness". Basically if you have a function declared as: void saveToDatabase(std::string & data); That data string can be modified. If the declaration is: void saveToDatabase(const std::string & data); Then the data string can't...

So I've had this problem for a while and ask about it in various circles over the years but have never gotten a good answer... When I jog a part of my calf muscle becomes exhausted, very tight and burns (likely from lactic acid) very quickly. On the order of within several minutes of jogging...

What?

I really hope there's a scene where the Sword of the Morning (Sandor Clegane), Jon "Wight King" Snow with Long Claw, Brienne of Tarth, and Azor Ahai (Jaime Lannister) with Lightbringer charge into a field of others and they start getting blown up.
