Probably not, but it would be cool with an alien that has two fingers reaching into other dimensions. Being able to scratch its back before it starts to itch, for example...

Someone always has to pull time in when talking about more than 3 dimensions. What's the problem with just having 2 extra spatial dimensions? Why does it have to be time, every time?
-
Maybe it was the back that was the extra dimension? Did you stop to consider that?
Edit: ok, that was just silly. So let the dimensions be something completely different, then. Honey, or something.

I'd say I see what you did there. But I suspect revisionism. :frystare.log:

Status: Investigating a latency issue. Two lines of C code which read 12 bytes and write 8 bytes sometimes take three seconds to execute in a real-time-priority, locked-in-memory process.
The accessed structure is in ammap
ed file, so I guess a slight delay is to be expected if the mapped page is currently written to disk, but 3 seconds is a huge

Putin looked down disapprovingly from the wall, as I explained my problems. The mechanic is not a Russian, as far as I know.

Putin does not approve of the way you're treating your car.

Is there anything Putin does approve of? Y'know, other than annexing Crimea from Ukraine…
-
I have an answer to that, but I'm waiting for Putin to approve it before I post it.

Sounds like a personal question

Putin has nothing to do with that! It's all rebels! With... with wizards, yeah, wizards who can conjure tanks and APCs from thin air! And non-uniformed soldiers who look and act Russian and post on Russian social media about being in Ukraine but they ARE NOT RUSSIAN MILITARY they are obviously golems created via magic.

I just wrote this little bit of C#:
new int?()
Now, I know it's correct, and it will do what I want it to do, but it just feels… wrong somehow…
-
You're not really sure if you want an int?
-
It's a nullable
int
; it's not always going to be there
-
-
It looks odd. When would you ever have to write that?

In this case, I'm loading some contact details, and they may or may not be linked to an agency; that code snippet helps deal with the lack of an agency.
-
But isn't that just a fancy way of saying 0? Or are
int?
s different fromint
s in that regard?
-
In this case, yes,
null
≅0
. But in other situations,null
≠0
.Eh, it's a choice; I've decided to say the value is 'missing'.
-

If you are loading something into it why not just set it to the value or null directly? Or was this used in an object constructor that is separated from the load?
-
Wait a sec ...
new int?() == null

Sometimes, when you're loading from a DB through NHibernate into a model to be sent over WCF to be turned into another model, then you just have to make do

that allows value-types to be nullable).

In short, yeah it will default to null (and have the propertyHasValue
set to false).

Am I TRWTF, or is it really really stupid that in Python, this code
x=1 def f(): print(x) f()
works perfectly, but in
x=1 def f(): print(x) x+=1 f()
the print(x) throws an error?

Bug report clarification:
When I click the "do really intensive calculation" button, the program doesn't respond for while and I kill the process

I just wrote this little bit of C#:
Why don't you just type:
int? blah = null;
Because that reads like a million times better to me.
-
Because I didn't think of that at the time. Plus the bit I wrote was in a ternary expression.
Anyway, it works, which is the most important thing. And it's not like it's cryptic either; the expression it's inside is pretty simple, if slightly long.
Sorry, I responded wrong; what I should have said is
Fuck off
BITCHCOMPLAIN I didn't ask for your help get out of my thread!
-
Shocking.
Is it CLI? Or is it GUI and looks stuck? Because both are fixable to a point.
-
It's a CLI that manipulates a GUI. Basically, it has to look at a huge 3-dimensional array before it can start simulating, and it's programmed in an interpreted language.
-
Because I didn't think of that at the time. Plus the bit I wrote was in a ternary expression.
Ok so you're doing like 5 things wrong here.

Status: someone showed me a Hunger Games simulator where you can change all the players' names to people you know. So I put a selection of you guys in.
Bloodbath Luhmann and CarrieVS fight Tar and DFK. Luhmann and CarrieVS survive. Aliceif falls into a pit and dies.
Day 1
Xaade accidently detonates a land mine while trying to arm it.
Blakeyrat forces CarrieVS to kill PJH or Polygeekery. She refuses to kill, so Blakeyrat kills her instead.Night 1
Hungrier dies trying to escape the arena.Day 2
flabdablet stabs Accalia with a tree branch.
Boomzilla, locallunatic, and FrostCat start fighting, but locallunatic runs away as Boomzilla kills FrostCat.
JazzyJosh decapitates Jaloopa with a sword.Night 2
Tarunik, RaceProUK, and Blakeyrat unsuccessfully ambush PJH, cartman82, and Luhmann, who kill them instead.Day 3
No deaths occurred.Night 3
Polygeekery is unable to convince Ben Lubar to not kill him.Day 4
No deaths occurred.Night 4
No deaths occurred.Day 5
No deaths occurred.Night 5
Ben Lubar shoots a poisonous blow dart into Boomzilla's neck, slowly killing him.Day 6
JazzyJosh, Onyx, and chubertdev get into a fight. JazzyJosh triumphantly kills them both.

HardwareGeek cannot handle the circumstances and commits suicide.Night 10
PJH stabs Luhmann with a tree branch.
locallunatic dies trying to escape the arena.
The winner is PJH from District 5!It goes through day by day with something happening to everyone but I just put the summary up, which only shows the deaths. You guys lasted a long time.

Night 2
Tarunik, RaceProUK, and Blakeyrat unsuccessfully ambush PJH, cartman82, and Luhmann, who kill them instead.
I only lasted two days?
Would have lasted longer if I was allowed my hammer…

-
Day 6
JazzyJosh, Onyx, and chubertdev get into a fight. JazzyJosh triumphantly kills them both.My only mention is to note that I died? This simulator is highly unrealistic. Where were all my quotes of crap SciFi and lame jokes in between?
-
I skipped the rest and just put the summary so as not to make a post several miles long.
-
Longer than me!
A small consolation, I guess…
@Onyx said:This simulator is highly unrealistic. Where were all my quotes of crap SciFi and lame jokes in between?
It missed all my Amy pictures and excessive posting rate too!
-
She refuses to kill, so Blakeyrat kills her instead.
Fuck yeah.
Tarunik, RaceProUK, and Blakeyrat unsuccessfully ambush PJH, cartman82, and Luhmann, who kill them instead.
In a single ambush? Because there's no fucking way I'm working with RaceProUK. Not after learning he uses ternary expressions. Maybe I had plans to kill his ass directly afterwards.

Probably. That is after all, rather the point.

Night 3Polygeekery is unable to convince Ben Lubar to not kill him.
They really should have programmed him with the '3 Laws'.

Night 7
locallunatic and flabdablet work together to drown cartman82.Day 10
JazzyJosh attacks PJH, but locallunatic protects him, killing JazzyJosh.Night 10
PJH stabs Luhmann with a tree branch.
locallunatic dies trying to escape the arena.
The winner is PJH from District 5!Only one kill and one assist but I still am the last death? That's ... surprising.
