  • Teams destroying relationships

    Jump

  • Speaking as a developer myself, it's likely not the devs' fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers' throats is far more important.

  • Google Will Update Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps

    Jump

  • Well that's OK. It's not uncommon for different countries to name bits of land and water differently from everyone else. Take Germany for example. The locals call it Deutschland. The French call it Allemagne. Or there are the Falklands, known by the argybargies as Las Malvinas. If Donny McFart in North Mexico wants to call that bit of water the Freedom Gulf or whatever then good for him! As long as he realises it works both ways.

  • The only problem with that is that I don't have the political knowledge to be able to counter their responses, and nobody else responds to the thread, so it kind of dies there. If for instance they say (as they have) that North Korea is a perfectly normal country, I don't have any location-specific knowledge to be able to respond to that, and I'm aware our own media have their own agendas so I've no way of knowing objectively who's right.

  • I can't help but wonder if tankies are the political equivalent of flat-earthers. I should probably ask that on NSQ some time, when I can figure out a way of asking that won't get me banned.

  • New USB logos will simplify branding on hubs and cables

  • Great, so let's now do that with memory cards. Faster than Class 10? Call it Class 11, not Class 10 U1 or U3. Faster than Class 11? Call it Class 12. There's no shortage of numbers. Let's drop all this U1 U2 bollocks.

    Yes, I am still sore about those Class 10 cards I bought for my dashcam that don't fucking work because it wants U3 and they were U1.

  • C++:

     
        
int i = 5;
i ^= printf("The initial value of i is %d\n", i)^
printf("i=i+1; // this increments i\n")^
printf("Trigger very obscure FPU bug %c",(int)((float)8.5953287712*(double)8.5953287713-'?'))/10;
printf("i has now been incremented by 1 : %d\n", i);

    Output: 

     
        
The initial value of i is 5  
i=i+1; // this increments i  
Trigger very obscure FPU bug  
i has now been incremented by 1 : 6

    I didn't test other values but they're probably OK.

  • It's not meant to be

  • Well don't write 600 lines of code without hitting compile then! You're not writing an essay that has to be handed in once.

    The only time I ever "write" more than a few 10s of lines at a time (dev since the 1970s, pro since 1991) is when I'm scaffolding a new application with a code generator, and that usually compiles first time. And source control is revolutionary. Check in stuff that works, then no matter how bad things get you can always just roll back to the last good commit. Unpicking the last few hours without source control is horrible. Been there, done that way too many times.

    And even when you do get 700 errors just look at the first few. The rest are most likely junk caused by the compiler not being able to resynchronise with the remainder of the code.

  • Muslims hated us first though and some of them (that currently live here) want to destroy our civilisation in favour of their barbaric medieval religion, and their continuing growth causes me some concern about when there are enough of them around, and someone has started a sharia party, and all the imams go "you must all now vote for sharia" how many of them will follow that decree (and how many non-muslim useful idiots will too).

    Not enough concern for me to start hating or discriminating against them on an individual basis, but everyone's different and some are further down that road than I am.
