A channel focused on shooter games, and the guy's like, "Mosin-Nagnat? I don't know what that is." HOW????
Shooter games have as much in common with real world guns as fantasy games have with real world melee fighting, which is to say nothing.
I do not state this as a criticism of games - after all their goal is to be enjoyable, not realistic.

@adynathos there's one thing games get right - gun names. And Mosin-Nagant has been in most WW1 and WW2 games in existence.

I recommend you stay away from developing lexical analyzers and TCP/IP stacks, in that case. They are rather important for those things, among others. OTOH, there are quite a few other things which I wouldn't consider them a suitable model for, so... yeah.
I'm OK with the one in the TCP analyser.
It's the one handling fully buffered HTTP headers I've got a problem with.

Yeah, I don't often order from Newegg. Why is a single order several invoices? Is it because in the backend it's actually creating several orders to the individual warehouses the products are located? So annoying...

Oh, they'll commit to it. They'll tack on a ridiculously hugely-priced line item to the bill, start "development", and then it'll be in development hell for ~15 years.
They only get paid after they deliver and they'll get a hard deadline.

Spent about half of the day today with a file transfer running in the background... it got to 9% by the time I went home.
Resumed it recently and it's already at 12%. Looks like my home Internet, as shitty as it is, is about 5x as fast as the Internet at our partner's office.
If only the client's PM weren't going to be on-site tomorrow, that'd make a pretty compelling argument for me to work from home. That combined with the fact that while the file transfer's in progress I can't use any other systems.

That's literally superstition. You have issues. JetBrains IDEs are the best in existence at what they do, and using them you would not be able to tell whether they're Java or C++ or Brainfuck or anything else.

You think that's special? My wife ordered some stuff off Amazon. $11.03, $15.95, and $8.39. The order qualified for free shipping. Amazon shipped it in two packages, on consecutive days... first the first two items shipped, and the third item shipped the next day. So far so good. No WTFs.
Amazon billed this in two transactions... $36.49 and $0.26.
I can only assume they originally miscalculated the tax (it does say "estimated") and that's why they had to charge an extra $0.26 cents after already billing for $36.49.

When your order includes Amazon marketplace items, it splits them up by vendor plus an "Amazon share". And because of Raisins involving pooled fulfillment and FBA and internal accounting, money you might normally think of as being part of the Vendor's share goes into Amazon's share because Amazon already paid the vendor that money earlier. Which is probably what you saw there - Amazon taking a 26 cent slice off for an FBA item.
Oh, and they also split by fulfillment warehouse. In short, there's no sane way to reconcile your credit card statements to Amazon.

I truly hate them. They don't work in the way that I think so I'm always getting frustrated by them (and I've seen this with the version they've got for multiple languages; it's something in their core model of the world that is just incompatible with my thought processes). I also don't particularly like Eclipse, but that at least behaves in a way that I can predict most of the time.
(VisualStudio is just irrelevant for the programming I do.)

While fascinating, none of that explains why the $0.26 had to be charged as a separate credit card transaction.

@pie_flavor said in The Official Status Thread:

No. It would also be unduly onerous for me to generate one, as I'm not a user of their systems. The closest I can get is that about half my colleagues on my current project use PyCharm and I can never offer them any assistance with what they're working on at an IDE level (unlike with reading the code and commenting on that) as stuff just confounds me in many ways. I had similar problems with RubyMine and IntelliJ (when working on projects which used Ruby and Java respectively). It's probably something obvious in how things work in the parts that are in common across all the JetBrains IDEs, but I just don't see it; what I notice is that I'm unhappy and unproductive when using those systems even by proxy.

Technically, he assumed your knowledge level afterwards. If you'd known beforehand, the likelihood of that becoming a not-knowing afterwards is pretty low (and would likely require a medical event such as a stroke while you were reading it, realistically speaking).

It's also wrong, as it excludes open sandwiches.
-
@dkf It doesn't exclude, it specifically rejects:
I have no idea who created the term "open faced sandwich" but it is an abomination. It is either "X on Y" or "X and Y" ala Bagel & Cream Cheese or Buttered Toast or eggs on toast.
-
@hungrier said in The Official Status Thread:

And that's why it should be recognised as a piece of closeyish propaganda, not an actual solid definition.
-
I would exclude unleavened breads entirely. Pita or tortilla wraps (including burritos) are not sandwiches. Neither are quesadillas. This would also exclude: tacos, fajitas, flautas, taquitos, tostadas, enchiladas, lasagna, ravioli, tortellini, pierogies, crepes, pie, lefse wraps or rolls, tortilla pinwheels, spring rolls and egg rolls, Chinese dumplings, won tons (including crab rangoon).
Saltine crackers are leavened, so ordinary sandwich fillings -- meat, cheese, etc. -- could be sandwiched between two crackers and be considered a sandwich under this definition.
I would also require that the filling consist of at least one major savory element (e.g. the peanut butter in a PB&J), with sweet elements permitted to a degree which is not to overwhelm the savory. Fillings may not be entirely or almost entirely sweet; "ice cream sandwich" is to "sandwich" as "white chocolate" is to "chocolate", i.e. the former is not really a type of the latter; despite its name, it's a completely separate thing. Not everything with "sandwich" in the name is a true sandwich.
A sandwich must contain both filling and bread, and the bread must normally be on both top and bottom of the filling. Bread may be two pieces, top bread and bottom bread, or may be one piece folded over with filling in the middle (provided it is eaten as a sandwich, i.e. horizontally so that it has top bread and bottom bread). Top bread may be omitted to create an "open face sandwich", which absolutely is a sandwich if and only if it would be considered a sandwich if top bread was included.
I'll allow the low-carb substitution of lettuce for bread, with the caveat that in order to be a sandwich, the resulting structure must be held and eaten as a sandwich; otherwise it is a lettuce wrap, which is not a sandwich. Cabbage rolls are not sandwiches.
Exception: No abomination made with pancakes may be called a sandwich, even though they would loosely still be considered bread. Sorry. You may call it a "pancake sandwich", as a distinct type of food, but it's not a sandwich.
I'm a bit of a sandwich purist, I guess.

Including "open face sandwiches" in the definition opens up the (IMO) insane possibility that a pizza could be considered a sandwich (bottom bread, primarily savoury toppings) while a shawarma (structurally a wrap) would not.

@hungrier I was listing significant elements of my definition which contradict his. His requirement that the bread be baked prior to adding the filling still applied, which would exclude almost any pizza.
