I want to start a mobile data company that offers 20 bytes of free data per TCP packet. Anything beyond that is dropped.

RE: 10 questions to determine familiarity with C++
@MZH said in 10 questions to determine familiarity with C++:
which of the following vectors can hold instances of both A and B? (Two correct answers)
A.vector<A> v;
B.vector<B> v;
C.vector<A&> v;
D.vector<A*> v;
Of the two answers, which is the correct choice in an actual program? Why?
Actually, none of those can. A and B are obviously wrong, but C and D hold instances of A*, not instances of A or B.

It's very difficult to make posts in landscape mode on mobile, the keyboard covers the entire composer
All people whose opinions I care about use exclusively portrait on mobile.Never change, Jeff. Never change.
NodeBB does this as well. And portrait is annoying to use when lying down.
For reasons unknown when running the site as an App (i.e. "Create shortcut on desktop") I actually can't get it to rotate to Landscape mode. Only when running in a normal browser tab does it "work". But enough about NodeBB.

After opening up the network tab and pasting the json from the response I found this:
That's silly. All they need to send is the ID of the first post, the last post, and the first post of each page.
... no? Why would it need the ID of a post on a page it's not currently on?

RE: 10 questions to determine familiarity with C++
@MZH said in 10 questions to determine familiarity with C++:
Object or pointer doesn't matter.
There are four different types in this question:
A
is a class with some stuff in it.
B
is a class inheriting fromA
with some more stuff in it.
A*
is a pointer to eitherA
orB
, assuming no other types are defined in the program.
A&
is syntactic sugar forA* but dereference it all the time
.The
std::vector<A*>
andstd::vector<A&>
types (which are actually the same type) don't hold data of type A or data of type B. They hold data of typeA*
, which points to data of either typeA
or typeB
.It's an important distinction that Tactician Goomf would be very proud of.

Still, if you generated two 128-bit random numbers and got the same thing, you're either very unlucky or something's wrong with your computer's entropy source.

@ben_lubar try the extension instead of the app?
"Always on top" seems to mean "not on top when you're playing a video game so it's useless to you hahahaha"
The extension isn't going to work for me because having it is the same as not having anything. It fulfils none of my requirements :(

RE: The Official Status Thread
Right; but it's still pretty primitive compared to any games released in the last 5 years. Sure, I know they have their cartoony style, but... uh... Borderlands Pre-Sequel has a cartoony style, also, and pumps like 3 times the polys. Or, say, Saint's Row IV. And Saint's Row IV has real character creation, not just "select from 4 options."
Dwarf Fortress character creation consists of "pick a name and your stats" and then it generates an appearance based on your civilization's genome.

RE: Killed by invalid index
The only thing having a higher level on your Dota 2 account does is unlock the ability to have a number that tells you how bad you are at the game permanently displayed to all your teammates.
Overthrow wait times are about 2 seconds from clicking the "I want to play Overthrow" button to "your game is ready" followed by about 50 seconds of "the host is loading the map" because the first person to join a lobby hosts the game for custom game modes.
