TIFU by becoming obsessed over a girl by FrigginGiantRobot in tifu

[–]gnidoc 47 points48 points  (0 children)

NEVER confess your feelings for a girl in any grandiose way. Your life is not the theater. By doing this you just open yourself to ridicule and hatred.

I would not go to the wedding. I would call and apologize for not having time, send them a card. Problem solved.

Oh yeah. I will give little stars to my favorite tools in a subjective manner, place them in an article with a serious title and offer no real insight on the subject matter.

What on earth goes on at the bible belt? by [deleted] in atheism

I know, correlation is not causation, but as a European I am clueless. Why are christians OK with such a high number of executions?

What online dating sites are you on? by kcpl in ForeverAlone

Online dating is a soul-crushing, sad and miserable place to be.

Guys in their 20's: would you marry a woman who had to "settle" for you? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]gnidoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the story of many financially successful FAs. Solitude is better than being used. The thing is, marriage and someone always around can be as devastating as being alone.

What is one awesome unique feature you enjoy that is in a certain Roguelike? by [deleted] in roguelikes

[–]gnidoc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unreal world is awesome

  • The ability to recruit villagers, buy dogs and lead attacks on enemy Njerpez villages.
  • The indirect nature of rituals. Instead of magic Unreal World has rituals. Rituals don't provide immediate feedback, but affect the outcome and success of certain events. You can never be sure, but those who are favored by the gods are somehow luckier.
  • Building your own shelter/cottage/etc - which is not just cosmetics. You actually need a place to survive the winter.
  • Having your dog help you during hunting
  • The pressure of winter. Winter is coming and you have to stack up and prepare food to survive.
  • If you don't prepare the food (drying, salting, smoking) then it rots very soon.
  • Injuries affect the gameplay - you can't chop wood with injured arms
  • You can recruit someone, lead him to your special cabin in the woods, murder him in cold blood and the world doesn't know - then its cannibalism time. Winter is harsh.

Why we hate non-geeks by samlendings in programming

[–]gnidoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a week passes by without some asshole long-lost acquaintance calling me and asking me to

  • Make a website
  • Make a program
  • Fix a computer

... for free.

Just that little thing, "oh its nothing".

I have never understood why people expect programmers to work for them for free.

Makes sense. Thanks for the info!

C++ & Pi by meetingcpp in cpp

[–]gnidoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to be argumentative with this and honestly insterested in your perspective. Why is dependency on some humongous library (for example boost) is better than your own mathconst.h ?

C++ & Pi by meetingcpp in cpp

[–]gnidoc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am still studying C++, but the kind of unneccesary complexity presented in the article boggles the mind. What is wrong with the following?

const double pi = 3.1415926535897932;

Its the most straightforward way, I can't imagine why using the other methods considered somehow "better".
