Just how big is your neighbor's lawn? Or are they using their lawnmower as a generator because they forgot to pay the 'lectric bill but just gotta watch Oprah?
If you wanted to spend a bunch of money you could make a soundproof room in your basement or something.

What a strange feeling. I hadn't done that in like a week.

Status: Wrote a complaint about matchmaking being broken (I had won 1 of my last 16 games and 0 of my last 12) to GW2 customer support. Had dinner. Came back and played more PvP. Lost 2 games. Then I won 2 games. I closed the support ticket and thanked them for fixing the system. Then I crafted a Gift of Mastery. Then I finished crafting @Ascendant's Underpants.
Then I looked at my AI's fortress and noticed a huge group of visitors in the tavern. Of note were three female goblin dancers with 2 books and 0 items of clothing between them. I'm going to ignore the fact that this is a known bug and pretend the game has *that* kind of dancers as a feature.

Congratulations, consumer #5091973-J.
Did you get a chip-card or no?
-
It has a chip.
Also something just occurred to me: do those Euro-dorks have US-style drive-through restaurants? Because chip and PIN would be AWFUL there.

Jim Butterfield is my personal hero.
Also note: world's first unboxing video.
He's so uninterested in talking-up the product, I'm not even sure Commodore hired him. I think he's just some homeless guy who wandered in during the product demo.

Unless paying in a "US-style" drive-through involves driving past the card reader while holding the credit card out of the window and aiming for the swipe slot... Not really?
-
Do they hand you the machine through the window? Like on a cord?
-
I think so, yeah. Haven't been in a drive-through for a while now.
Although these days you can usually just pay via PayPass, so that probably takes care of this problem.
-
...right I got that. My point is, usually that's a sign that optimization is messing with the positions of things, and it usually only happens while its running in release.
-
while its running
Possibly. But I wasn't running (Release or otherwise) when I took the shot. ;)
-
a soundproof room in your basement or something.
you can get multiple uses out if too if you change the decor a bit
-
drive-through restaurants
drive up the window, collect your order, minimum wage guy/girl gives you the card reader, enter pin, accelerate
you don't have wireless card readers in the us? how does a normal restaurant do it? they don't come to your table to get your money?
-
Is it normal for users of StackOverflow to ignore the question entirely for the sake of pushing their own ideals?
It was downvoted and deleted. Shit's gone (where only the very high rep people can see it and agree with you). Voted you up as that looks like a much more elegant approach.
-

According to my most recent visit, they take the card away and do stuff for a while, then waddle back with something that you sign and you get your card back. Bent.

Much appreciated, it seems he had enough integrity to keep his word.
Granted that he did have valid points in pieces of his comments, just not
as helpful.
-
Well, I could criticise your question for not being particularly clear about what the problem is and including lots of stuff that is actually irrelevant ;) but the info that default serialization returns
null
instead of throwing some sort of exception on error () is the kind of thing that is deeply valuable.Seriously, who thought that was a good idea? “Stuff might go wrong, so produce the most useless response so that other code breaks in unexpected ways too. Yay!”

The weirdest part for me was having to give your credit card to the guy behind the counter in the petrol station before filling up with fuel. Then going back in to sign for it. Granted that may have been because my card was foreign maybe.

STATUS I am TR</wtf>
I was whining about the eink reader I got from work to read technical books. When you press next (actual button on the hardware) it scrolls a little too far so I have to manually readjust it to read the entire page. The IT guy took one look at it. Tapped the page and the header disappeared proving the scroll works perfectly.

To be honest the expectation is usually that the process should fail so this does look like an exception.<Exception ExceptionType="System.Exception" Message="Email of datafiles succeeded" Data="System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal" TargetSite="Void Raise(Int32, System.Object, System.Object, System.Object, System.Object)" HelpLink="#0"

They must be huge in order for the trains to fit through there.

Hmm, partial code highlighting...where have we seen that before ?

I don't know what you mean, a road locomotive is just perfect for getting lunch.
There is one local that trundles down the road at inconvenient times. I've been double-parked by some sort of giant harvester thing while in the shop once. That's what living in the deep countryside gets you.

That reminds me of the North Korean wood burning trucks.

Food trucks have iPads with those Square reader things. Before those existed, they were just cash-only.
how does a normal restaurant do it?
Some hipster restaurants use the iPads with Square reader things too, which SUCK because they're sitting there STARING AT YOU WHILE YOU CALCULATE THE TIP, they're awful.
they don't come to your table to get your money?
Depends on the classiness of the restaurant. If it's like a cheap lunch place, like a teriyaki place, you usually walk up to the counter and pay. If it's fancier, they give you your check on a little plastic tray or folding book which has a slot for a credit card, you put your moneys (card or cash) in the tray, they take it back to a register and do their whatever, then bring it back where you supply a tip. Either by leaving a cash tip, or by filling in the tip line on the store copy of the receipt.
Nothing's worse than having the waitstaff STARE at you while you're coming up with a tip.

As like... a circus attraction? Or an actual genuine vehicle that's genuinely in use?
You realize you could run like 13 diesel-powered tractors (all of which have significantly more horsepower) for the cost of one traction engine. Added bonus: virtually zero change of boiler explosion with diesel tractors.

Must.... Resist.... Urge.... to.... fix... Unrelated.... Lint.... Warnings!
GAH! WHO WROTE THIS SHITE CODE ANYWAY?!
Time to go disabling linters until warnings go away.

I've seen it at the local steam rally but I think the owner just likes to go on a drive every so often. I don't think it does anything apart from move for the sake of moving these days.
-
Oh great. So when the boiler explosion happens, all those kids that were scalded to death will have died for a great purpose-- so some rich asshole can play around with his antiques on public streets.

Failed in the end. I'll just create a new VM, fuck it.

You are required by law to have the boiler inspected to get RTA cover. I think the stationary engines would be much more likely to explode.

-_-no. bad developer! lint is there for a reason!
-
It's still stupid. If you're an rich jerk interested in driving antiques around, why not drive around in one of these:
That'd impress me. And it's also immune to boiler explosions, and so slow that only the stupid children would be crushed under it.

There was some guy at Sun in the early 1990 who was assigned the task of chasing down every lint warning. After about two months (before he broke) he only found three minor bugs. I think it was the guy in http://www.amazon.co.uk/Expert-Programming-Peter-van-Linden/dp/0131774298/

Get fresher ice cream, duh.

Lint-level warnings are usually not too important (since they can include “this C macro uses a non-standard naming rule” to which the answer is “yes, but that's what everyone expects so shut up you stupid linter”) but actual compiler warnings are another thing. I'd really like my compiles to be completely silent despite being in the highest level of warning sensitivity.
Alas, system libraries are not always cooperative.

Where did you find a station that didn't have a card reader at the pump? Were banjos playing over a speaker?
