    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Given that we just found out basic information about pluto, as a layman I am totally suspicious about any information we have about a planet that is 1400ly away. My understanding is that they look at how a star wobbles based on its orbiting planets, but I feel like without having a way to test...

    Hodj, Iannis and Dumar are all equally wrong because the subset of RNA that forms lysterine through bianually linked TRT strands can form causalities through triple stranded nuclear pairs.

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

    properties? What is this sorcery? I think the clean coding book uses an undefined language that doesn't have properties. I actually prefer coding books that are language specific both so there's no confusion on whether properties exist and also so you can learn coding styles that are...

    Like I said I don't have a lot invested in it and only brought it up to hear counter-arguments to what I think, but how would you rewrite: You say change the param, would you write: At that point you're just suffixing instead of prefixing. Maybe you obfuscate that with: But you're really just...

    So first entry of my rebuttal against the Clean Coding book. I actually like the book so far and have little bad to say about it by page 40, but I do have a few things. I'll start out with a practice I follow that I actually like, but can see others not liking: I find that functions perform...

    Few of us will ever get paid to create a binary search tree. Even fewer will have good reason to create a binary search tree. You'd have to have a really good reason to need to implement a BST over the standard map in whatever language you're using. However, every true CS person knows what a...

    Archeage

    It is still not a full pvp server. A server with zero peace zones would be great. But the reaction from most people is thwt it is too late.

    I like solo combos when timing is involved and you have that extra spectrum of micro to utilize. Ex: figbting games.

    Maybe I'm alone here but I don't know of anyone in this community who wants them to release stuff before it's ready. The negative folks, including me, say the scope creep in this project combined with their poor track record of releasing their modules increase the risk of this thing blowing up...

    Fallout 4

    Bullet sponges are awful. The way you make Fallout hard is by: 1. Making resources very scarce. 2. Make playing the game poorly take up more resources than playing it well. 3. Make it so that enemies can kill you easily when you fuck up. It seems like with Bethesda games I need to add a...

    Fallout 4

    I'm sure you will get stuff like that, wheel or no. Dragon Age 2 had a wheel option that was "jackass response" and it was pretty funny at times.

    A huge part of PvP is predicting (or finding out via spies) what your opponent is doing. Probably a third of my effort when leading largescale pvp is trying to predict what the opponent will do and how long it'll take. This is easy when fighting PUGs and very difficult when fighting organized...

    I bought it blindly when someone recommended it and I saw it had good reviews, it wasn't till I opened it that I saw agile and was a little disappointed. I feel like agile (And other 'how to write software' techniques) gets a worse reputation than it deserves because of the people being...

    I bought this book: Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship: Robert C. Martin: 9780132350884: Amazon.com: Books because it's been a couple years since I've read a 'programming' book. After spending a small amount of time reading it I feel like it'll either have things I...

    I don't like strong rules but generally I agree. Exceptions shouldn't be used to control program flow, they should be used to jump the control up some number of layers. Some people overuse/abuse exceptions and it can end poorly. When I find a library written by someone who really likes...

    That gofundme seems really hmm, useless. SeaShells is one of many hobbyist types building an EMDrive, just she's trying to get outside funding to do it. Would be interesting if Roger Shawyer published good results of his second generation drive, then made a coherent kickstarter campaign to do...

    I'd love an answer to: "Based on the estimated expenditures of RSI, the current cash inflow and the poor record of releasing content, it looks like the major modules in Star Citizen won't be released before RSI goes bankrupt."

    I agree. I thought his acting job was both harder and better performed. Harrelson had to show more range, MM mostly just had to look troubled and cool.
