Oh god it's just a straight up string constant? Jesus..

So to be clear without the global macro the code would be "YourClass..()"? If that's the case, then the DOT makes it a lot more clear that you're calling a function. I don't do a lot of coding in Java, so I have no idea why you would have a call that looks like that in the first place.

John Oliver wanted Sepp Blatter (President of FIFA) gone, looks like he got his wish. Sepp Blatter to resign as FIFA president - Al Jazeera English

Rerolled primarily, and occasionally I read eurogamer. I trust information I get from here a lot more than I do from other sources.

That sounds toxic, as a general rule we find out the root cause of the issue and then leverage whether a quick fix is better or fixing the underlying issue. Even if we do the quick fix, we schedule an overhaul in a future build. Since migrating to our new product from old one, we've been...

hah same thing as my company. The shit that gets green lit if the person doesn't care who's doing the review can be pretty scary and we've been burned pretty badly on it. We have a coding standard document, though we tend to leave code reviews to the end of the feature before we hit QA so if...

Anyone figure out what the fuck Jared treated himself with that morning that made him so happy? I feel like the guy saying "this guy fucks" was a hint as to what he was doing, but I doubt it was any sort of straight interaction.

I can honestly see the positive side of where Valve was coming from but there was some serious oversights on their part. There should have been some sort of cross licensing system setup in place so that modders who create custom animations or items etc they have the option to license it to...

From what I've read intelligence is generally driven by how the brain is wired internally and not it's size. So the more internal connections between neurons and the better they're insulated, the higher the individuals intelligence is. They've done genetic alterations to mice to increase Myelin...

Somebody volunteered to help me out, I'm good now. Thanks everybody who offered.

It's a dessert that you need the alcohol to dissolve some kind of citrus extract in so you can mix it with water and then add it to recipe. The alcohol burns off and you're left with the citrus flavor and if you use anything but pure alcohol it'll leave a lot of residual taste of whatever you...

They won't ship to Ontario, only within Quebec :/ I've tried a bunch online liquor stores, for the most part the ones that do ship, don't ship the 95% bottles and the ones that do, only do within specific territories. It's a gift for a friend who's a chef, she keeps going on about how awesome...

I watched a VICE HBO news episode on the harvesting of Rhino horn. Apparently it's the same material nails and hair are made of, nothing else. It's possible to harvest the material from the Rhino without killing it and there are people trying to change the laws and setup Rhino farms to meet the...

He lives in Alberta and they also sell it there. So yea if Eomer is out there, offer stands for you too! They've been banning it across Canada because we hate freedom or some other nonsense about kids dying of alcohol poisoning.

I'm trying to find some 95% alcohol I can use for cooking and the Ontario liquor stores don't sell any. I'm looking for somebody to purchase a bottle ofthisand ship it to me. It's legal to possess in Ontario, they just don't sell it so there is nothing illegal about the transaction. I'll pay for...

Yup the steam store says it unlocks 7PM EST/4PM PST today.

That's the same one I had, and I can also attest to it being awesome. I used to have a portable wifi router I would hook it up to in the yard that would in bridged mode to the wifi network inside. It's definitely come a long way from rudimentary first run unit I had gotten.

For anyone who's on the fence about a big green egg but don't want to have monitor it for long smokes there are temperature control/blowers you can buy that you can set a temperature and it'll control air flow to maintain it. I forgot which one I had but it had a web interface and could be...

I'd argue that you could skip the linux class, download gentoo and use one of their early stage builds that let you build the system/kernel from scratch. I learned a boatload doing this and it'll probably take you a couple days just to get the system installed, but once you do you'll have a very...

The interview with Snowden was excellent, he grilled him specifically on the fact that he leaked these documents to the media and mistakes have been made, for which Snowden had an excellent reply. It kind of made my stomach twist a bit when he showed Snowden the video and how badly the American...

I saw this on the verge, it honestly sounds like they're going to find some place else to move to as a package. Heres hoping somebody like netflix or HBO picks them up. Hell if they delivered a couple episodes a month I'd happily pay 10$/mo for the content.

hah his expertise page lists his own custom bitcoin miner: Kriegerand Mining Hardware (Liquid Cooled A.S.I.C)

I totally agree that the show just isn't the presenters. The cinematography and music are fantastic and I think drives a lot of the atmosphere of what makes the show so awesome. They seem to have a talent to take movie music, apply it to what would otherwise be a boring scene and generate a...

heh I'm not sure the syntax would ever hold me back from using it. Honestly if used properly they basically idiot proof memory management in C++, at least in our use patterns. I can't wait till C++/17 with future/promises.. they make multi-threading so insanely simple. I used to think that C++...

When C++ 11 came out we re-factored a good chunk of our code to use either standard lib shared pointers or unique pointers. In the four or so years since we've done that I can't think of a single memory leak issue in our code base that we've had to chase down that wasn't related to a 3rd party...

Totally use that coupon if you're into TPB and get access. There is a 8.5 season on there with all of them in jail and it's pretty awesome. It starts off slow but by the 4-5th episode through it gets really funny.

I'm not super framilar with Peugot cars as they aren't sold in Canada. Was this all hilarious because the steering radius's on the cars were shit? It just looked like they picked two random used Peugots and drove like idiots in them. I couldn't figure out if the cars are really that bad, or if...

Maybe we're using different functionality in C++ but the code below does a deep object copy replicating the vectors (but only copying the pointer location, not it's value). I was kind of curious what kind of vectors etc you were using that you had to create a copy constructor. It's really rare...

It hasn't been mentioned yet but if you watch the IT Crowd and you're familiar with the Countdown episode Kublai Kahn is actually the Morpheus (Prime) character from that episode. I picked up on that the first episode and it almost ruined it, luckily Kublai Kahn was well done and I had...

Theres nothing about corporate espionage that says it's results have to be clandestine, obviously if you're the actor who's orchestrated it you don't want to be found out. Heres a few things I could come up with that would benefit another corporation: - Embarrassing Sony Pictures and it's...

I'd disagree, you still have corporate espionage as a possibility. North Korea is the perfect scapegoat for what at the heart is a very damaging attack on a business that may well have to have it's leadership thrown out to move forward, or may even result in the studio being closed and re-opened...

Two major theater chains in Canada are pulling it, Rainbow and Cineplex. This better be a marketing ploy because I honestly find it appalling how quickly everyone is turning over for what is at best a weak threat.

I'm pretty sure Lockheart's fuck up is just a device to get Saul back into the CIA, he's probably got a taste of what the job is really like and can't take it. Then the president taps Saul for the top spot, tells him he's sorry for picking the wrong guy and gives him his full backing to do...

Sorry that you don't like that link! Here is one from nature on the same subject that's an editorial linked off the same website.Fusion furore : Nature News Comment I find it amusing how legitimate someone can think a project is based on how well done the web page is hah. They are starved...

The whole ITER method of fusion has been the main focus of funding the last 60 years. There are literally dozens of new reactor designs that don't require the kind of crazy engineering that ITER does and could be researched for (I'm not making this up) 1/100th of the cost of what's been dumped...

The primary driver for the technology is specifically for laser weapons on ships and planes (That's where lockheed got the funding for it). What really pisses me/disappoints me is that if Lockheed is really this close, why isn't this the next Manhattan project? If 10 billion turns five years...

Totally agree on Gordon-Levit's plot, when it ended I couldn't really see the point at all. He's trying to get back at Roark but in probably the most retarded way possible. You could have cut that entire piece out and the movie would have been better for it. I also didn't feel Brolin really...

My understanding was that they were supposed to have free and open elections in 2017 and now the central Chinese government is trying to limit it to only approved candidates. A bunch of young students started protesting this, then it escalated from there. The central figure in all of this is a...

The printing press was just a grape press with letters on the top instead of a flat metal surface. It was even used by the Romans as a way of "printing" patterns on clothing.. fuck you could even argue that the idea was there from the beginning it's just literacy was so rare it didn't make sense...
