Americans believe 20% of the people have an income of over 1 million dollars and 20% 30%of Americans live in NYC. Am I reading this chart wrong?

???

NYC has a population of what? 10 million people? So they think there’s only 30 million people living in the states?

Didn’t Vista get a ton of hate for its new UI?

Adding in icon in your name will help you differentiate wether a recruiter bothered to message you or if they just sent out mass messages to a ton of people. If the icon is there. It’s not personal.

Yes. It’s not running anymore. But the entry lingered in the startup section ( for whatever reason ).

I’ve also had a case where starting my Mac gave me “file cannot be found” notification, and that was also related to software that was removed. Running a cleanup tool removed entries I couldn’t remove myself (ui) and the error disappeared.

The uninstall on a Mac just leaves a ton of garbage behind though. Dragging an app to the trashcan to uninstall is somewhat intuitive, but doesn’t remove the app from startup. Which is a bit messy because then I need to install software to clean that up.

Windows isn’t necessarily a lot better on that front, but it feels better ( the cleanup part )

The last page of issue 19 explains that in the last paragraph

I prefer the one where you randomly sort the array until all elements are in order. ( Bogosort )

So all the misery in the world is related to webdevs trying to parse html with regex?

You bastards.

This is the reason why I only play cs2 with 5 or 4 people in the team. I suck, usually, but CBA dealing with salty tryhard teammates. At least the people I play with are just there for a good time.

I swear one of them should be in the 20k rating region if he wasn’t constantly dragged down by us losers. :D

Its a plague in online games. If its anything like real life I assume that people just get a kick out of doing it and getting away with it. Stomping people and being elitist about it. I guess that’s the reason why people smurf too.

Like a rich kid feeling better than the rest because dad=rich and your dad is not.

People can do whatever they want in single player games. Run with infinite ammo, god mode, flying, unlock all skills at lvl 1, increase stats/or resources on demand. I dont care. Maybe it takes the edge off or maybe they want to go through the campaign story without all the grinding after a long day at work or school.

I’m not complaining. I won’t lose any sleep over it. If it fulfills your power fantasy or whatever. Go for it. You’re not hurting anyone.

But the people who cheat in online games can piss right off. They’re ruining of for everyone on multiple levels ( kernel AC, online enjoyment, … ).

I recently saw a documentary clip on how people cheat nowadays with arduinos and PIs to circumvent kernel anti cheat and stuff. It was fucking depressing.

If you get joy from ruining other people their day you need to go outside, touch some grass and contemplate your life’s choices.

The same goes for smurfs. If you want to stomp on something then go stomp on very easy bots while they aren’t sentient yet.

Tabs for indenting and spaces for aligning. There. Everybody wins and loses.

This way the code always looks aligned and if you prefer 4 spaces for a tab instead of 2 or 3 or 8 you can just set it in your IDE.

Crisis averted!

Have a gander at project 2025 if you want to know what that future looks like.

Now there’s a word I’ve never heard in my life :D

Fuck detailed work logging. Best I can do is tell you how much time I spent per client in increments of 30mins.

Qui gon was reincarnated?

Right. So i had them the other way around. :D

Thanks for clarifying.

Yes.

p++ == p+= 1 == p = p + 1 are all the same if you use it in an assignment.

++p is different if you use it in an assignment. If it’s in its own line it won’t make much difference.

That’s the point I was trying to make.

What I meant was:

In the screenshot it said x = *(++p) and iirc that is not the same as saying x = *(p++) or x = *(p += 1)

As in my example using ++p will return the new value after increment and p++ or p+=1 will return the value before the increment happens, and then increment the variable.

Or at least that is how I remember it working based on other languages.

I’m not sure what the * does, but I’m assuming it might be a pointer reference? I’ve never really learned how to code in c or c++ specifically. Though in other languages ( like PHP which is based on C ) there is a distinct difference between ++p and (p++ or p+= 1)

The last two behave the same. Though it has been years since I did a lot of coding. Which is why I asked.

I’ll install the latest PHP runtime tonight and give it a try xD

p = 1

x = ++p
// x = 2
// p = 2

p = 1
x  = p++
// x = 1
// p = 2

++p will increase the value and return the new value

p++ will increase the value and return the old value

I think p = p + 1 is the same as p++ and not as ++p. No?

Lets get one thing straight.

This is rarely ever the developer and more a business stakeholder forcing you to push the Friday deploy button.

I’ve had somebody in the business escalating to my team lead, head of development and CIO because i flat out refused to deploy something on Friday at 16h.

So no. This is not the developer making a hard choice. There should be somebody coercing or forcing him to push the deploy button.
