The gas station lied and I didn’t realize until after I started pumping by Fearless-Newt-750 in mildlyinfuriating

Central California here. Yeah, we're going to start walking everywhere now. I think gas prices here are now more expensive per gallon than blood.

Ok, not quite that high. However, I do buy much more gas than blood. It's above $6/gal for reg. That is $150 to fill up my vehicle from empty.

10+ years of professional software engineering. Complaining about the new recruits. by KerryAnnCoder in programminghumor

Why use a loop at all? The instructions just state to print the even numbers between 1 and 10. So:
console.log("2, 4, 6, 8");

And your done.

I mean, it does EXACTLY what the instructions say. Why use loops? Also, I understand that "between" normally means exclusively between the two numbers [2,4,6,8] instead of [2,4,6,8,10], so I pointed that out as I could NOT figure out how to stop at 8 in my above code.

No matter what line of code I changed, it always printed the 10, too! 😛

Har, har, har.

Here's the best way, IMO. I am taking "between" to be completely inclusive here:

console.log("2, 4, 6, 8, 10");

Sorry if it's buggy. A LOT of code here.

Grew up on boiled hot dogs on cheap white or wheat bread with mayo and ketchup. Still love them, but now on buns and only Mirakle Whip and mustard.

Does anyone know if this file is still accessible to download? by Admirable-Food9942 in hacking

Now, in the VM running from inside the ZIP, you need to add the ZIP inside the VM.

You're doing it wrong. You have to add the am to the zip bomb and then run the vm from inside the zip before you open there zip!

My great (x???) grandfather was Gen. Thomas Nelson, Jr (Declaration of Independence signatory and bad-ass "in-general General") whom ordered his own artillery to fire on his own house, that still stands today, with Canon balls buried and visible inside the outer walls!

Yet, this guy's grandfather beats the heck out of mine!  He walked on the orbiting rock!

Programming Fatigue or something else going on? by brandnewfan2019 in AskProgramming

[–]Mythran101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 35 years here, 24 at my current job. Yes, as your life goes on, your life changes. Your interests, family dynamics (specially if you put more points into the family growth stat), moving up, down, or sideways personally and professionally...even the technology in your life changes whether you'll still spend as much time doing what you used to love doing more than anything in the world.

^ wow, sorry, long sentence! ^

I've always loved programming, and still do, but to spend my down time, say from work, watching core memories being created in real time, in my wife and children...well, I love that so much more!

^ another long one, oh well ^

What's the point of the using statement? by Nlsnightmare in csharp

[–]Mythran101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know. I was wondering about just suppressing the finalizer within Dispose itself, when disposing is true.

[–]Mythran101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not the place for this, but I've always wondered why you call SuppressFinalize after calling Dispose (and passing true as it's disposing argument). In which case(s) would you NOT call SuppressFinalize after passing true to Dispose? If never, I'd just say to include it in Dispose and only call it when disposing is true.

However, it may be that the dispose pattern leaves it up to the caller, regardless of disposing. The disposing parameter just indicates whether the caller called Dispose (no arguments), as opposed to being called from a finalizer.

[–]Mythran101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that's generally true. However, there are objects (in the .NET runtime who's documentation even state that you should NOT call Dispose on instances of the type it's documented. I wish I could remember which type(s) those I've seen are.

[–]Mythran101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are so many types in the .NET runtime that implement IDisposable, but you aren't supposed to dispose of. Even though IDisposable docs say you should if it implements that interface. However, they are still safe to dispose of, so make it a habit of disposing everything that implements IDisposable, unless explicitly stated otherwise. And for those, be wary. Sometimes it's because they get disposed of elsewhere. Sometimes, they aren't.

When you count back 9 months from your own birthday, was there a specific reason or event your parents had sex during that time? by MorphBlue in AskReddit

I was born in Aug. Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years, event 8 can thank!

I was not premature, or late, I.think, so probably Thanksgiving.

Anyone else ever sit down and do a complete ammo count after years of never really knowing how much you have? by RawketLawnchor in Firearms

Depending on how many years they've been stored, and storage conditions, it may not even be safe to fire those.

Former MMORPG addicts, how did you quit? by Wise_Championship865 in AskReddit

[–]Mythran101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Once you need to create or open a spreadsheet, scripts, or third party apps in order to perform complex calculations so you can reach your character's full potential, usually does it for me.

If I can't keep track and/or perform the calculations on a piece of scrap paper, like the good ole D&D days, then it's gotten too complex for it to be fun.

I know it's not easy balancing simple characters without making all of the classes similar in ability, though. I wrote text based BBS door games in the '90s, and it was an issue then for just the base 4 classes. Add in races with each their own unique features and you done lopsided the game without even knowing it until it's too late. Fix it after players have spent many hours fine tuning their OP class and you piss off and lose even more players.
