@oracle Not surprising - what is surprising about this data is that around half of Trump voters believe renewable energy should be a priority going forward.

@oracle butt.setStatus(true);

@oracle This is a property (C#). So it is just a fancier way to make the same as void isEnabled(bool setValue) and bool isEnabled() but without the parenthesis.

@adiwan C# is honestly the best Java-like ever and this is one example why.

@drinkingpony Beautiful, hypocritical assumption. I'm not calling for death to TERFS or Torries. And you have been far too antagonistic to be "just askin'." And feel free to quote scripture, I use it myself. It's a better reference than Dewey! http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875386

@scribus "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ?"
Oh I tell you why. While not calling for the death of groups you do not agree with directly you certainly do not seem to be too keen on calling it out either.
In your other post you talk about those you deem worthy of execution. Worthy ? ... WORTHY ! Face it. You became just as bad as the people you deem worthy of disrespect or worse. May that mark upon your skin be forever be a reminder of the person you became you swore you did not want to be.
Everyone who thinks I am an asshole should realize something. Do it ! I will happily martyr myself in your memories and off of this platform. The next time something bad happens or the 'wrong' person gets elected I want you all to blame me. Scribus can quote Romans 2:1 and you can all rest assured that everyone is safe as you did the right thing by closing yourself off from answering questions and using shaming tactics to establish dominance and promote group-think.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -

also i'm pretty sure if you're diabetic you can still eat junk food if you take the appropriate amount of insulin?? like it's a good idea in general to not eat too much

@tiff ......... technically, this is true. Only to an extent though, obviously. In healthy individuals, the more insulin in the blood, the less bio reactive it is. In individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance, this happens sooner.

@oracle I'm currently at a GTX 970 so I was wondering if an upgrade were viable now. I'd like to have a beefy graphics card at home so I can do work at home from time to time. At work we use Quadro P6000. So far neither option is cheap enough for me to actually buy at the moment since the fall of PC hardware prices in general make them hard to justify investing in.

Semi related note I have never been in a supermarket that was above 295 degrees K. I guess this is somehow a requirement when you have a lot of products on the shelves that can possibly spoil ?
That and to offset the heat that some of the fridges emit on the backside.
But I guess it would be really entertaining to watch coca-cola bottles violently explode when someone leaves them out in the unloading section for too long.
Its probably not going to affect consumers in a big way.Thursday, 25-Jul-19 11:48:16 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

[ Looks it up ] Well, used ones are more expensive than new ones, I am about right on the price though. Not that I would pay that for that.

I'm extremely frustrated. I have to dumb down my VR training program a lot more than I already have. I'm told that people shouldn't be allowed to drop grabbed items. I mean WTF! They take out all the fun of flinging items around. Also all the dynamic things I've built in should be gone. "Only activate the items that are immediately needed at the moment of the procedure!".

@oracle In industrial maintenance, dropping items and tools can cause serious setbacks. My opinion is that a user SHOULD be able to drop items, and that the dropping of the items should create a natural penalty.

@adiwan I am interested in your work here because I have a lot of experience in writing technical training documentation. Mostly with an emphasis in SQF (Food safety and quality) procedures but also in the documentation of my own and my teams poorly poorly written code.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@oracle The main problem is that I'm not responsible for the storyboard of the training. I'm the one who has to convert the gibberish into code. What I get is a very linear script that tells the user what to do and when the action has been done the next instruction appears. I use a giant state machine (in my current one there are about 80 states) for that purpose. Every time an action or an instruction has ended the state machine advances. The storyboard has 3 "difficulty levels" in mind in which the first level the user get all the instructions and the interaction items are highlighted. The second difficulty level is the same but without the instructions, and the 3rd is with no highlighting. In every state only the currently needed items are interactable and nothing more. My current training has also a little quiz in the second level and a thing where the user has to order the steps on a whiteboard. It's on the level of a kindergartener.

Programmers only enjoy difficult CS projects like writing compilers because, although it's difficult and can take a long time, the requirements never change and the problem is very concrete.

I understand that many Star Trek fans disliked the JJ reboot films. I loved them for their own reasons. I do have one issue that I just CAN NOT overlook. At 25 minutes into the film you can see the NCC-1701 being built. The Enterprise in the prime timeline, along with literally every other starship was not built on the planet, but built in space!!!

@oracle there’s a really simple explanation for that inconsistency... it’s not the Prime timeline. In the Prime timeline, Kahn also killed Spock, not Captain Kirk, and in Abrams’ films, the opposite happened. There are a million other differences between the two worlds, and THAT’S the one that upsets you?
