    I'm sure this can be mathed but two 3-mana cards to a 7 and 8 mana card does not seems like it would hurt your curve THAT much.

    Double post so I'll comment on the report. Popularity of yogg druid almost makes me want to craft one...almost. Surprised Reno warlock is coming back in popularity, didn't think that deck would be good in this fast paced meta.

    1600 dust saved only if you are crafting golden epics. I consider it 400 dust saved only if I get an epic that's playable in the current meta and I don't have two regular copies of already. It's an interesting math exercise that I have admittedly not even begun to seriously consider. Was...

    Hearthstone

    I was thinking about this earlier. Unless you specifically want a random epic gold card, wouldn't playing arena instead of climbing 10 -> 5 give you more effective dust? Yes, I realize a lot of people hate arena. I play both but I can't stand the anxiety of hitting a certain rank(even if 5...

    So, if you want a "budget" phone without going down to shit tier like the Moto G, what are your options? So far, there's the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P when on sale, OnePlus 3, maybe Moto X Pure(seems dated at this point though), and whatever the Nexus 5X's successor is. Did I miss anything?

    Nah, I'm sure it's drywall. I was in there recently for hanging a tv and running cat5e, I could see the seems between sheets in some places(decorative wood wall on top of it). I'm also sure I'm an idiot and may have measured the studs wrong. Maybe my finder found something else magnetic...

    Drywall anchors are those giant plastic screws, right? Pretty sure I didn't see those. The fronts are not supported. Is that typical in closet shelving and hangars, seems like that would get in the way. Define eventually. I have no idea when they were put up, but we've been here at least...

    Pictures like that is how people develop OCD. Previous owners put up some shelving units that definitely not level or straight similar to how that shed looks. Bugs the shit out of me every time. Also, when spacing out studs(16 inches in my house) to mount a tv, I'm pretty sure they hung...

    It might be fun to work with Noodle, we could bitch about forums and shit code all day. But fuck that Boston commute. I'm pissed off after driving my current 15 minute commute. You wouldn't want to work with me after your typical commute as you describe it. I'd be perpetually angry, more...

    C++11 does do a lot for usability and readability, I'll grant you that. Any comments on the primitive include system and macro hell? I don't mean that to sound baiting. You obviously know more about C++ than I do, so I'm wondering if they've done anything to improve those lately. Side...

    That sounds familiar...didn't Torvalds say something similar to that. Something like C > C++ because most C++ programmers suck(proud member reporting)?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah, doing this without lambdas or even anonymous inner classes is pointless. I'm not going to create another function just to iterate over the vector inside the map. More localized clutter is better than disjointed clutter. I'd almost prefer C...maybe. Would have to try it out first before...

    It does, but I'm not sure how to print out the members of the vector without a lambda.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah, doesn't matter much. This stupid project I'm working on doesn't support C++0x(so no lambdas) nor C++11(so no range-based for loops). I agree that duck typing can be weird in strong typed languages. In this context, eh, not so much. You know the container's type and you know that...

    Yeah, think I complained about macros earlier. Want to read your code? TOO BAD! The amount of ifdefs needed just to get things to compile cross-platform is staggering. Tenks, I would need a lambda function with the for_each, right?
  23. Deathwing

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Point taken, forgotten about for_each. In this case, no, because I want to iterate over the vector I have stashed in the value. But, that does potentially cut down on a considerable amount of clutter. My main problems with having to work in C++ again is readability and how much easier a lot of...

    Yeah, so fuck C++. I love how this statement in C++ is basically this in python(and probably a plethora of other more modern languages): And as a bonus, I get m_it->first and m_it->second unpacked for me too! I know why C++ is still around, it takes forever to change anything, even if...

    I think the 4 horsemen changes depending on which thread. Like, tanoomba, astro, and a_skeleton_03 are permanent members, but that 4th spot changes. Marvel thread? Blackyce. Politics thread doesn't count because you'd need like 400 horsemen.

    Hearthstone

    Oh, no, the game being dictated largely in part by how your deck was shuffled never goes away. That's part of the luck involved going from 7 wins to 12. Just how many time do you NOT get an opening hand full of 5+ mana cards. 'RNGstone' and 'esports' are derogatory nicknames this game has...

    Hearthstone

    After 7-8 wins, luck is going to dominate how well you do. You're better off looking at your overall win average than how often you go 12 wins. My guess is that since you come from MTG, you prefer control style decks. Those are very hard to draft in arena, but they are pretty fun when you...

    Gladly! As if DUMMY wasn't complex enough, RTG, STRINGIFY, and OPAQUE are macros too. To be fair, I like macros like this: Defining macros that improve code readability is great. The one above does the exact opposite.

    I mentioned a little while back that I'm working in C again. I can see the usefulness of preprocessor macros, but I don't see enough of a use to justify just how much it fucks up your code's readability. Anyone else wish they could change what their source code will actually look like when...

    This might affect clear times much more severely: Since they reference Black Hole as a knockback, I'm guessing anything that groups up monsters is a knockback. Don't all cold damage skills apply a chill, which is a CC? Seems kinda stupid that a damage element will eventually make it impossible...
