    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.

    I'm pretty sure I've linked this before. But it's a pretty good rundown on the topic of space and time.

    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...

    I know what you mean...Visual Studio has become a bloated pig. I recently switched to JetBrain's Rider which is an excellent alternative to Visual Studio and definitely feels snappier (and, ironically, is written in Java I believe). I've heard of people using VS Code for .NET Core projects but...

    This is on the bumper so it's plastic. It definitely looks very similar to the green pic, but why would this suddenly appear nearly two years after purchasing the vehicle? It absolutely was not there before. I'm VERY particular about my vehicles and would notice something like that. Since...

    Same. The invasions were a hell of a lot of fun when there was a significant player population, though. But after that started dwindling away the game just became a grind. I don't think I made it past level 40.

    American Horror Story: Apocalypse

    What a great episode. Also funny that they didn't notice the Murder House characters looking identical to their own. EDIT: Also, what's the dealio? I thought there was a nuclear apocalypse yet Murder House location was bright and sunny with an operational real-estate agency.

    Also keep in mind that this is an introductory course to data structures and algorithms. We aren't expected to get super fancy with C++ (not suggesting 'const' is, but any very specific C++ operations or 'tricks' would be way over the head for most people in this course). Most students in the...

    I totally agree. I have a lot of C# experience so I totally understand the concepts. But the other students in the class are new to programming so they are having to wrestle with the nuances of the C++ language which has nothing to do with data structures themselves. The professor keeps...

    You can't do that because you don't know when the user will access what was popped. It may not be immediately. My point is that the professor is wrong and from discussing it with him I could tell he himself doesn't have a firm grasp of what's going on. Anyway, thanks for your input...

    Sure, I could do that but that would mean that the Stack would forever store anything pushed into it. That's crazy and I seriously doubt real-world stacks work this way.

    But it's not because I am shifting the elements in the array upon pop(). The value of p + 1 is being moved to p + 0 (and so on depending upon number of elements in the array). If I returned a reference to p + 0 then the user of the Stack would actually being getting p + 1's data.

    I don't understand the question. The stack, internally, is using an array. If I return array[0] with pop() then shift the elements in the array to account for index 0's content removal (i.e. index 1's value is moved to 0), what am I returning a reference to?

    Sorry for the delayed response, was away yesterday and didn't feel like typing a response on a 8" Amazon tablet. So here's the deal: this Stack implementation is templated. So you don't know what what type it's being initialized as. In my example the user of the Stack could be instantiating...

    So let's back up a step. From a simple main() method say you do this: int* myArr = new int[10]; int myInt = 100; myArr[0] = myInt; Is there now a reference to 'myInt' at myArr[0]?

    A copy of the element is created locally within the pop() method. The pointer to the element will be deleted. You cannot return a reference to a locally scoped variable.

    You pop because that's a Stack operation. One implementation of the Stack is a Linked-List. So the element in question is attached to a Node structure. In the pop() method I'm doing something like T element = currentNode->e; Node temp = currentNode // adjust pointers from previous and next...
