But it's a lot harder to fuck up a loop inside standard library code if you're not writing the standard library is what I'm saying.

Status: chuckling at Cleric's Privateer Gloves of Infiltration
Yep, that cleric is going to infiltrate your privateers with his gloves.

Got email late this afternoon; they want a second phone interview with "the team."
Congrats. Let's hope it goes through quickly as you have probably forgotten what work is like by now. :-P

The traffic outside work is apparently really bad today, enough that one of my colleagues sent round this link:
I would be telling my colleague to mind his own business, or else I would run him over with my SUV while he is on his way to the train.

parseResultSet returns a single object - does that still work?
If so, TIL and that's nifty...
Yeah, I misread the earlier examples. Still, an iterator is the logical java way here. In C I'd do
while( (obj = getResult(rs)) )
but I don't think that's a widely accepted approach in java.
-

You wouldn't, because you'd be queueing behind all the buses. (We've far too many buses about, but the city seems to think that there's no need to put mass transit down through the university⦠)

Bendy buses?

Don't let @Lorne_Kates know this. He will be hunting them for sport.
-
Bendy buses?
Double-deckers mostly. They play hell with the substructure of the road.
-
you have probably forgotten what work is like by now.
Not as badly as when I was out of work for over a year and a half during the depths of the recession, but I'm worried that I'm forgetting some of the stuff I need to know to do my job (or more importantly at the moment, to demonstrate knowledge of in an interview).

Bendy buses?
What are you, 8 years old? Can't pronounce the word "articulated" yet?
... in the Seattle area, we're slowly replacing all the articulated buses with double-deck buses. The double-decks are better on pretty much every metric (seating capacity, fuel consumption, space usage, etc) as long as you can guarantee the entire route has a clearance of at least 15' or so.

Not sure, I heard it on the radio, but I think it includes housing them until they can find a place of their own, and a fincancial commitment (the figure 20 000$ was mentioned)...

I'd imagine your internet gets faster when it's out.

Talk to the Brits, fuckhead. That is what they call them.

It's now since we got rid of them AFAIK like 4 years ago.
edit: They were only called Bendy Buses in London.

Just saw something weird in the notification drop-down during that cootie storm that I hadn't seen before. Unfortunately, it sorted itself out just as I got snipping tool ready to get a screenshot. It looked something like this:

That happens, yeah.

I've never seen that particular behavior, at least not with that many uncoalesced notifications at the same time, and it took maybe 30s to get itself straightened out.

Not a single Yes/No vote? Wow.

Well, somebody just voted No. But really, you expect us to take a poll like that seriously? YMBNH.

I voted no, but only because I hate Jeffing. It makes things...untidy.
Cheese was a very close contender though.

I think it may be legal if you have actual seats with seatbelts (Subaru Outback, or whatever it was that had two rear-facing seats in the truck bed). Just riding in the open back of the truck, yeah, that's illegal. Heck, it's illegal for a dog to ride in the truck bed without a two-point restraint.
-
Seriously? WTF.
Yep, they had them in London. They were super popular. (No, everyone hated them because they turned so widely)
-
I didn't mean "really" as in "really, they existed?" but more like, "really, you said 'bendy bus' like a developmentally challenged 3-year-old?"

As I said: You're a fuckhead, and the British came up with the term. As I was talking to a Brit, and not you, you can fuck off back from whence ye came.
